The Remote Observer: Vol 64

Welcome to issue 64 of The Remote Observer, Tenno! This week has seen a lot of crazy developments both in the game, and behind the scenes for TennoCon - coming this July 6th 2019! We wanted to give you a look at what you can expect in the next couple of weeks, and for the convention itself!

TENNOCON - WHAT TO EXPECT (BEFORE THE CONVENTION)

In the weeks leading up to TennoCon, we will be more and more focused on preparing for the event itself, and that means our usual schedule of Livestreams has come to an end! Our last Livestream before TennoCon was Prime Time on June 20th, and our next Live Stream will be on July 6th, at 6:00PM ET for TennoLive - straight from the TennoCon Main Stage! Here are some things you can do to prepare for TennoCon!

  • If you are at home during TennoCon and not able to physically attend, make sure you link your Twitch and Mixer accounts to your Warframe account. You can link these accounts by going to https://www.warframe.com/user and using the Twitch Sync and Mixer Sync options.

  • If you are a TennoCon Digital Pack holder (and why wouldn’t you be?!), you should save up those Ducats, because Baro is going to be in town, and he is bringing everything he has ever sold!

  • If you are traveling to London Ontario, make sure you take a look at our handy travel guide to TennoCon 2019 to get some information about the area and how to get there!

TENNOCON - ON THE DAY!

If you are attending in person, there is a whole bunch of stuff for you to do at the Event! TennoCon is a jam-packed day, filled with a whole host of activities, displays and finally ending off the night with a huge live event, stuffed with reveals, secrets and information about what is to come! During the day, you can expect to see some of the following:

  • A Warframe Museum with a collection of art, artefacts and models from the warframe universe, many of which have not been seen before!

  • The return of the Simaris Sanctuary Showcase, featuring teams made up of both attendees and Warframe Partners!

  • Escape rooms! Can you brave the perils of the Orb Vallis?

  • Workshops! Are you interested in working for Digital Extremes? How about starting your adventure as a TennoGen artist? Ever wanted to ask questions of the Sound team? Well, here is your chance!

  • Meet the Developers! As you will walk around the event, Warframe Developers will be amongst you, giving you the opportunity to share your Warframe stories. We want to hear from you!

For those of you watching the day from home, you will have access to watch some of these activities yourself!

  • Watch various on-the-day Warframe Partner streams for the event floor!

  • Watch Panels and Workshops as if you were there in person!

  • Tune into TennoLive at 6:00PM ET to catch all of the latest information as we stream it to Twitch and Mixer!

We have had reports of the Grineer patrolling around the London Convention center, however. Darvo has been looking pretty nervous of late, and we are sure that something is going on. What does this mean for TennoCon? Attendees will have to find out what’s going on, and figure out what the militant Grineer Security Administration want!

For the first time ever, we’re streaming all Main Stage TennoCon panels throughout the day before TennoLive! Watch any panel on Twitch or Mixer for 30 consecutive minutes to receive a free Lotus Ephemera. This drop ends at 5:59PM ET.

Then at 6:00PM ET, watch TennoLive 2019 and witness the full reveal of Warframe: Empyrean to get a FREE Nekros Prime! You’ll earn him by watching the show for 30 consecutive minutes between 6:00PM ET and 7:00PM ET. (Includes a free Warframe slot!)

PC WUKONG UPDATE AND OTHER FIXES!

The biggest news coming out of this week’s PC update is the Wukong rework! Our Monkey King now has a completely retooled power set, as well as some new mechanics for you to play with! While you can see the full list of changes in Wednesday’s update thread, here is a brief overview:

  • 5 Levels of Immortality! - (New Passive) Dirt naps have never felt better! When you are downed, Wukong gets one of five new buffs but for a maximum of three times. After that you are back in the dirt!

  • Celestial Twin! - Get a clone that will attack your targets, switch up attacks depending on your style and give you a good fist-bump!

  • Cloud Walker Redux! - Faster, better, stronger! Heal you and your clone, dart across the skies and ignore lasers!

  • Defy Redux! - Suck in damage to deal it back with your staff! Gain armor depending on how many skulls you crack!

  • Primal Fury Redux! - More combos, more Melee 3.0 and new animations! Don’t hesitate to slam the enemy with this reworked signature weapon, with increased range and new combos!

And like always, with each update comes a range of fixes, Quality of Life updates and other additions! To highlight a few of the important ones:

  • Slightly Gassy! - Mirage’s Sleight of Hand will now work with the object in the new Gas City tileset!

  • All Turned Around! - Capture targets were having a difficult time finding the exit when on the Gas City tileset. Added some sat-nav to their helmets to fix.

  • Target Tracking! - Fixed an issue that was stopping more that 5 Archwing Markers showing up at once!

  • Loop.zip - Ziplines will no longer have a looping slide sound upon dismounting!

  • Droning On! - Domestik Drones will now stop escaping after you step out to the Simulacrum. We removed the part of their programming that craves freedom.

As you may have seen by Danielle's forum post, the Wukong updates are gearing up for cert, and preparing to be released for our Console platforms ASAP! Soon you too will know the joy of having a clone shoot things while you fish in peace!
