5 Fates at Koumei’s

[warframestuff]

Tenno,

With the arrival of Koumei & The Five Fates on Wednesday, October 2nd, we would like to help prepare you for the Update with some rough update sizes on each platform:

PC: ~3.09 GB

PlayStation 4: ~24.00 GB* PlayStation 5: ~9.44 GB

Xbox One: ~3.72 GB Xbox Series: ~3.76 GB

Nintendo Switch: ~2.55 GB

iOS: ~1.50 GB

*PlayStation 4 Download Size: Our PlayStation 4 Tenno will notice a larger than normal build size since we have reorganized Warframe’s data to optimize total disc space used. This reduces the size of Warframe from our Lotus Eaters build of 44.57 GB down to our Koumei build of 43.19 GB.

iOS Download Size: As this is a cert build, all iOS Tenno will need to redownload the 3.6GB app from the App Store before downloading the Koumei & The Five Fates update. Upon the launch of the update, you will receive an “Update Available” popup as usual and be redirected to the App Store to do so.

What fate will Koumei have for you tomorrow?

Koumei & The 5 Fates Update Thoughts

(I've only been playing around with this update for a few hours, so of course my opinions may change in the future)

The new mission type (Shrine Defense) is nice; despite the name, it's more like a mini Interception (though without a timer, which is greatly appreciated as I play solo so Interception is a pain in the ass for me) hybridized with Plague Star (the infested enemies, the tanky final boss, the fact that you'll have to do it enough times to get sick of it, and that Vay Hek is there). The randomized buffs from Koumei offer a nice bit of variation.

The music that plays during the mission is also lovely

When I saw we'd be picking up this mission from Saya, I was happy to see her return to the story and agency a bit, since her introduction in the Saya's Vigil quest sees her operating entirely as a plot device for the two men who are in love with her. Then I saw that, by "talking to Saya," the game actually meant talking to Konzu, and selecting the Saya option. Once again this poor woman is an extension of men. Don't love that!

The fortunetelling minigame is cute, though, and I deeply respect Warframe's commitment to expanding the world with new mechanics and little minigames when they feel like it, AAA-shooter-brain be damned.

Koumei, like Voruna before her, has her special resource (fate pearls in this case) used both to get her blueprints and as an ingredient in them, a mechanic I find annoying and confusing and which I'm displeased to see return. Voruna at least had a chance for parts to drop during her missions, which Koumei doesn't (ironic, that random drops don't come into play when trying to build the warframe themed around randomness...). edit: this isn't true per community response, thank goodness! Per the wiki, you need ~330 pearls to buy the blueprints, and then 330 102 (edit: wiki was wrong yesterday) more as components, for a total of 102-432 pearls to craft, and 14-18 drop per mission...

When I realized this I got so grouchy I left Cetus 😅

I'm not used to the new arsenal UI yet, but it'll happen

As a Caliban Enjoyer, I have mixed but mostly positive feelings on the Caliban rework (much like the Hydroid one before it, as I had hundreds of hours logged on Hydroid even before they made him SP-Viable (TM)):

I actually preferred the old Razor Gyre, wonky and ineffective as it was... hear me out. The new and improved Razor Gyre is almost exactly the same move as Reave: a fast short-range traversal that heals when interacting with enemies. Which is fine (it's a good ability!) but Reave is Revenant's Helminth ability, so I already could put Reave on Caliban if I wanted to. What I can't do, now, is heal by spinning in a silly little circle and ragdolling enemies continuously. I miss that. It was also the most Sentient-enemy-flavoured of Caliban's abilities, which was always fun for me from an RP perspective; something I loved about earlier Warframe content that it seems to be sadly moving away from is the joy of, after seeing an enemy use an ability (or weapon) to kill you, unlocking the ability yourself to use on them with a vengeance.

The 2 Feels the same, but buffed, which is nice, because it's an excellent and underrated CC ability.

The new Summon Caliban Babies utterly slaps, no notes. I love the tactical choice of 3 different baby types to use, and the Summolyst just feels immensely cool in general.

The 4 was a giant fuckoff laser, and is still a giant fuckoff laser. 😎👍

The companion changes are much too large in scope for me to have grasped them enough to form an opinion yet.

I will say, though, all these new mods are going to take a ton of endo to grind, and I would have preferred an endo gift as a sign-in instead of 5 forma (which I probably won't need to use on the new content anyway?).

And most importantly:

Mid-Shrine-Defense I heard an Ostron child yell "I believe in you, Tenno!" and 🥺🥺🥺 the synchronicity of childhood belief, dreams, fate, and the power of stories... I need to lie down

Started watching Paripi Koumei/Ya Boy! Kongming and it's very chill and fun!!

Everyone is a normal person with reasonable thoughts and opinions and Kongming is here like "I will dedicate myself body and soul to you. Your word is my command. Only speak the word, and i will make it happen"

very down-to-earth look at the music industry

basically a Fate game but the Master and Servant are just chilling and trying to climb the charts instead

Kongming occasionnally having sad emotional "ive lost everyone ive ever known" thoughts and im sad too

The man-out-of-time trope works great because everyone reacting to Kongming goes "this is clearly a autistic man with a very specific hyperfixation, but that's none of my business"

Kongming: "I may have died a thousand years ago but manipulating people is still the same"

the heroine's backstory is that she had depression and idk i like that

representation for when you hear a random song and project your current emotions on it and then become obsessed

General theme of "Even the small, good things are important"

disney: we heard there was a vampire renaissance going on and we wanted to capitalize on it, so here's a morbius

tumblr: absolutely not. We would rather read the actual OG dracula book. In fact, we'll create the world's largest book club and do just that

Dream is so funny he invites himself into Constantine's place and immediately insults how messy it is with such vehemence that she gets concerned he'll start cleaning up if she leaves him alone

made her go from FUCK INTRUDER to "What are you, my mom" in three seconds flat

actually my favourite part of glass onion was that even when all the lights were off, you could still see what was happening, which is good for a movie

My #1 post of 2022

underrated dynamic of spy x family is that Loid has no idea about his own emotions, at all. They formed their little family and

Yor was immediately delighted with Anya and was ready to kill for this new adorable daughter, and anytime Loid does anything she blushes and is super impressed, and she wants to impress him, and

Anya loves her papa and mama very much (it's free family real estate!) and is the only one who really understands that they are a family

meanwhile Loid still believes he's doing all this for the mission. Dude almost maimed a teacher (and risked ruining the mission!) for making Anya cry and has on several occasions talked back to someone for bad-talking Yor and he's still like: "Hm, wonder why i did that"
