It's been a few weeks since the last Devstream, and - perhaps more importantly - there are only 11 weeks left in 2020! On one hand... thank whatever deity it is that you believe in, but on the other... well, there's not much time left in the year, and we don't quite know what's going on within this game that we love so dearly.

Well, DE has come to the rescue with Home Devstream #7. While we still don't know if we should expect any large drops before the end of the year, we do know there are several things coming to the game over the next few weeks, and that's fantastic. So join the Cephalons as we pull apart everything that was presented during the stream.

Given there was another down week between Devstreams, the Cephalons decided to have a discussion around a recent change to Mag's Magnetise Ability. As this was slightly tweaked in order to make it even better, the discussion was expanded to look at a bunch of other older Warframes and some of their... less popular Abilities.

Have a listen to the banter, then join us on Facebook, Twitter or Discord to share your thoughts!

(Beginner topic: Increasing Mod Capacity; Advanced Topic: Saxum Set Mods)

We've had some interesting chats in our Discord of late, as well as a few questions that made us think. One of them boiled down to whether or not companions are worth your time, effort and resources. The answer is, of course, yes, they are! But why?

The Cephalons take the time to address this, going over all the different types of companions available to you. Plus, of course, there are our regular segments, including Beginner (Mining) and Advanced (Carnis mod set) topics... So what are you waiting for?

There was a secret Devstream this week! Well, OK, it wasn't secret, we just didn't know about it until it happened. It was, as usual, full of good info on both the state of the game, and upcoming changes. Plus, there was a lot of useful info in regards to how people are using the Helminth! We went deep into the data, so check it out if you want to know more about that system.

That does, of course, mean that we don't have beginner and advanced topics this week, but we do have all the usual fun, games, and banter. Check it out.

Warframe is not for the faint of heart - there is so much content within that many players would pale in the face of its complexity. But, as most fans would know, come to understand that complexity and there is a wealth of fun to explore at your own leisure.

However, this can be a double-edged sword - without a level of simplicity and approachability for new players, some may find Warframe far too confusing and overwhelming in what it has to offer. With Railjack and a third open-world recently added to an already hugely complex game, is Warframe verging on alienating new players by way of feature creep?

In this episode, we take a light-hearted look at this topic, among all of our regular shenanigans, including beginner and advanced topics!

A quiet week in terms of news, as the team at DE looks towards hotfixes - plus, there was a long weekend in Canada. This gives us a good opportunity to review our opinions on Heart of Deimos, now that we've had a good go at it.

Unsurprisingly, we're still having fun, but there are a few things that are beginning to annoy us here and there...

Oh, and we start giving tips on Heart of Deimos content!

From quiet weeks to DOUBLE DISCUSSIONS! Yes, this week, not only are we covering the new Heart of Deimos release, but there was also a Home Devstream! While it was a shorted Devstream, there was still plenty of good info to cover, so we talked about both... And we certainly do have a lot to say - Heart of Deimos is a great update.

We're getting very excited now! Only a few more days to wait until Heart of Deimos hits ALL platforms. It's a great time to be playing Warframe - and as of the 25th, it's also a great time to start playing, as there will be a whole new introduction and tutorial!

Anyway, TennoGen Round 19 was announced this week, so we decided to try something new - which we are calling TennoGen Runway. We'll go through every item on the list and provide our thoughts on what's coming - if you want to follow along while you listen, here's a link to the announcement on the forums:

Apart from that - all the usual shenanigans abound!

With just over a week and a half left until the release of Heart of Deimos, every Warframe fan worth their salt is thinking hard about what the new Helminth System will mean for the state of Warframe moving int the future. As luck woul;d have it, DE dropped their Developer's Workshop post in regards to this topic, so the Cephalons spend an entire episode going over every single Ability that has been confirmed.

Buckle up - it's long and it's bumpy, but it's good! Promise!

Heart of Deimos represents a new direction for Warframe in a number of ways - from new contraptions that the player can build and utilise, to a whole new system of customisation. We decided to take a look at this through the lens of the future - what do these new additions suggest in the way of change? And what else do we hope comes out of this?

Plus all the usual shenanigans. Join us for more fun as we wait on the next update!
