The Remote Observer: Vol 60

Welcome to issue 60 of The Remote Observer, Tenno! There is a lot coming down the pipeline for the release of The Jovian Concord, and while we are aiming for a release next week, there were a few features and upcoming QoL changes coming that we wanted to highlight to get you prepared!

THE JOVIAN CONCORD - COMING TO PC SOON™

Development is still continuing, and while we were hoping to get The Jovian Concord into your hands this week, there were a couple polish points and features we wanted to include before we shipped it to you. Most of these new features you may already be aware of!

  • Wisp! - Our latest Warframe! You ever seen a support ‘Frame rocking a solar laser? Well, wait no more!

  • Gas City Remaster! - It’s big! It’s gassy! It’s Jupiter! See the remake of the harsh and industrial tileset, located in the atmosphere of the Origin System’s largest planet!

  • New Boss Fight! - Something big is lurking in the gas clouds of Jupiter, Tenno. You may see it more than you bargained for...

  • New Game Mode! - Disruption! Fight off crazed, explosive units, hell-bent on making you fail. The better you do, the greater the rewards!

MORE FEATURES!

What we haven’t talked about much as the new features and fixes that are coming with The Jovian Concord. Have a look at some of these other upcoming features and changes to get an idea of what else is dropping with this latest update for the PC client!

  • Huge UI Reworks! - Huge changes are being made to the Market, Syndicates, Void Relic, and End of Mission screens to make information more readily available and easier to follow! This is to help people identify items that can be purchased with credits, give more information on the contents of a Relic, and giving a general facelift to older screens.

  • Two-Tone Energy / Emissives! - One of the biggest Fashionframe changes made to date, the inclusion of dual-tone colors for your Warframes, equipment and fashion items! Warframes, Sentinels, Weapons, Attachments (Armor, Ephemera, etc), Regalia, Syandanas, K-Drives, and Archwings now all have a double Emissive color option (no Forma required), and a double Energy color option (Forma required)!

  • Gunspear Fixes! - We have made a variety of changes to better increase the way Gunspears function within Warframe. With an increase in flight time across the board, and several stat changes (including removal of self-damage on the Javlok), you will see some nice QoL changes on these explosive polearms!

  • Eidolon Bounties Now Grant Standing! - Ostron Standing can now be gained by taking Eidolon Bounties! Bagging a Teralyst will gain you 1000 Standing, when snagging a Teralyst, Gantulyst, and Hydrolyst will gain you a whopping 5000 Standing!

There are a lot more changes and fixes to be added to this list, and they will all be included in the patch notes for The Jovian Concord when it releases SOON™! As with any major mainline update, your feedback is invaluable! If you see bugs or want to give feedback on a feature, head over to our Official Forums to let us know!

TWO-FACTOR AUTHENTICATION, TRADING AND YOU

Trading and account security are big concerns of us and the community, so when The Jovian Concord releases, we will be implementing a change that requires traders (both parties) to have Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) enabled on their account.

It’s important to note that 2FA on accounts can drastically reduce the threat of having your account hijacked, and used for nefarious means. Bad actors and scammers will often use compromised accounts to trade illicitly with regular, innocent players, and those interactions can have detrimental, knock-on effects to player accounts.

We wanted to give you some incentive to use 2FA as well, so if you enable 2FA, or you already have 2FA enabled on your account, you will receive the exclusive Fae Step Ephemera, delivered to your account when the update deploys!

If you would like to learn more about Two-Factor Authentication, and how to enable it, then please take a look at our 2FA FAQ / guide to get started!

Thanks for stopping by this latest episode of Remote Observer, and don’t hesitate to drop by our Official Forums if you want to see more discussions!
