Minor Edit: At 12:18 I mention slash, its actually SERRATED BLADE damage type, Serrated Blade was one of the major OP damage types in damage 1.0

[nico._lombana]

Each Time I hear "keys" I get Vietnam flashbacks from farming frost prime blueprint from T3D, and suffering for 20 waves just to get a forma.

I think it's VERY important to keep making these history/retrospective videos. Not just to educate players about the history of the game, which helps us appreciate and understand modern day Warframe. But also to help us remember that DE has had a pretty shaky history with its players. These faults need to be remembered not necessarily by the players, but by DE. They need to watch these videos so that they can properly remember mistakes they made and not repeat them.

Someone has to say you do a video on Void Keys so here it

Look at them, they come to this place when they know they are not pure. Tenno use the keys, but they are mere trespassers. Only I, Vor, know the true power of the Void. I was cut in half, destroyed, but through it's Janus Key, the Void called to me. It brought me here and here I was reborn. We cannot blame these creatures, they are being led by a false prophet, an impostor who knows not the secrets of the Void. Behold the Tenno, come to scavenge and desecrate this sacred realm. My brothers, did I not tell of this day? Did I not prophesize this moment? Now, I will stop them. Now I am changed, reborn through the energy of the Janus Key. Forever bound to the Void. Let it be known, if the Tenno want true salvation, they will lay down their arms, and wait for the baptism of my Janus key. It is time. I will teach these trespassers the redemptive power of my Janus key. They will learn it's simple truth. The Tenno are lost, and they will resist. But I, Vor, will cleanse this place of their impurity.

i was there.... thousand of years ago
the first void tower...
the fixed wall walk parkour
the PAIN

Man, I forgot that back in the day you didn't get every reward in a defense mission, you only got the *one reward* on the round you left. That's so freaking insane.

I guess that's where my current-day seething hatred of defense missions comes from.

[Shiznid]

I miss the unlimited drops survival and defense keys gave back in the day, used to be one key could get you a bunch of rewards but now we have to burn up to four relics in a squad for 1 reward.

[Darthmufin]

They really need to take a stand and decide what they are going to do with archwing and archwing related content. The quest, the missions, and the very outdated fomorian 'event'. Not only are the events long stripped from the game to give new players context about what a fomorian even is or who this new corpus guy with the raspy voice is, but the detail and quality of the missions are also very lacking.

Old quests and archwing are the most 2014 the game still feels, like you are teleported back in time when the game proudly held that "still in beta" meme lol. I doubt DE completely removed those old lines of dialogue from some events so they could easily rework the archwing quest to include that lost context, update the graphics, and improve the fomorian event to be more involved. Perhaps even add a new "elite" version that uses railjack combat as well.

T2 Survival for Nikana was wild. I just got equinox and was so low mr. I remember a nyx carried me and three other players with chaos. We stayed for an hour but by the last 15 mins or so I was hiding in a hole. The good ole days.

Honestly I miss doing void key missions. Feels like outside of argon, the void is kind of just there.

[TheOldest]

I'm getting a 1, 000 yard stare remembering the farm for Ember Prime.

[OnyxBurst]

The void tileset really needs a purpose again, and not just for argon crystals

[lastoflancas]

48:07 - It’s not too different from the players nowadays try to sneak in int for radshares (or vice versa) or just use different relics entirely. Granted, it may be rarer than back then, but the hustle never truly died.

[Ro-fwlc]

T4 hour survival was absolute hell. This was before we had energy nexus, equilibrium(the way it is rn), and energy siphon was the only way to regain energy. That meant you better hope there was a loki or trinity, energy sustainability was absolute hell. I think i showed up a bit before arcane energize was released and that was a literal gold mine too

[BoondockDevil]

Fuck, those old UIs bring me back. I got into the game at Closed Beta through an invite and man, those old UIs hit different.

[lionard]

I find it really odd that DE was weirdly hush-hush with drop rates of items. Most games around that time and even more so now I feel were quite open about the drop rates of their items.

[KRBadonkadonk]

The start of my Warframe career was doing T1D every morning to level up whatever I had finished building that day. Most of my early MR was T1D.

[yourdemiseishere]

My memory of void keys is a single ash killing everything for 40 waves until he got bored and left, all four players afk. As well as me on frost just defending.

[jessewyatt]

I couldn’t even tell you how many times I ran T3 Defense for my first Ash Prime. Those were the days

[zoopvonbeezle]

I have very fond memories of Void Key defence and survival missions, with a good team you could leave with over 10 prime items and Forma. It was the endgame at the time and I loved it.
