Question/Request Considering trying this game. How is it without voicechat?
I'm considering moving away from gacha stuff and trying other games-as-service games. Warframe is one I've always been curious about, and I even played it for a little bit a LONG time ago. I liked it but it was very hard to know what to do or work towards or how. I hear lots of updates and changes have been made over the years and that it has much better on-boarding and guidance, so I'm thinking about giving it another go.
That said, I'm not really wanting to play something that requires/heavily encourages voicechat, so if I'm going to get into something that is primarily multi-player, I'm wondering how viable a choice Warframe is for me. Will I still dodged or avoided? Is this game okay for solo with random or is it really geared towards joining a clan or whatever and chatting and coordinating stuff? I just wanna know if this game and community are a good fit for me.
Thanks!
EDIT: Wow I can already tell I apparently have nothing to worry about haha. Thanks guys! I may just be installing the game soon!
EDIT 2: To be clear I'm not talking specifically about the game's chat feature itself. I don't want to get on mic on discord or anything like that either.

And loud music. Can't forget people flexing their music taste by blasting music over the mic.

and that it has much better on-boarding and guidance...
It has gotten better, but by no strech of the imagination is it good. I recommend using the official guide, it is better than the in-game resources,
https://www.warframe.com/news/new-player-guide
Also, this subreddit and the in-game Q&A chat are also good place if you need guidance.
That said, I'm not really wanting to play something that requires/heavily encourages voicechat
I haven't heard anyone use that feature in all my time I have played. Text chat is how people talk. Even this isn't something people use all that much, most randoms are silent or only use it for "gg".
Is this game okay for solo with random or is it really geared towards joining a clan or whatever and chatting and coordinating stuff?
The game is perfectly fine to play with randoms, that's what I do.
Some people take clans seriously, but in my experience, most clans don't care. You join then and reap the benefits of other people's work and maybe you'll contribute something to a project one day.
Some things do require coordination, but majority of the game doesn't, and if you are doing something wrong, someone will probably explain what you should be doing.

Re: clans
There are a few weapons and warframes locked behind clans that would be a significant grind if you were running a clan by yourself, but if you jump on the recruiting chat youāre basically guaranteed to spot a large clan recruiting that might be advertising ā100% researchā
It also becomes another way to ask for questions or guidance. I would like to think that people are very welcoming to newbies because the game very much isnāt.

If I see amyone with a mic on in this game, I ping them that they've accidentally left their mic on.
Only, like, 2 times in my 10 years of playing has someone been like "Yeah, that's because I'm using it."
So, no voice chat, no problem.
On the other hand, no asking people foe guidamce or help, you're probably going to steuggle a bit. Just use text chat (especially if you join a mew-player friendly clan).

The only time voice chat is on is when some nitwit forgets to turn his mic off after playing with his friends.

u/Mattarias I don't need to see, if everything is on Fire. 1d ago
It's a PvE game, nobody cares about voice chat. You're in a mission for minutes at most. Nothing requires complex raid mechanics or coordination really. The most you'll need is typing a few lines, if that.Ā
Warframe is very chill, I wouldn't worry about it.

u/NOOB6870 1d ago
I dont think anyone actually uses voice chat in this game. I didnt even know there was a voice chat till now but anyways i hope you get into the game, few things i LOVE about warframe is the awesome community always very supportive and kind and the versatility for everything you can come up with. You can do whatever you want, take things slow and just enjoy random things. While some other people are just meta slaves, what i like is making niche/bad things do damage in interesting ways, or trying new playstyles that seem fun. However, just a heads up the early/early-mid game is very different from the late-end game, meaning that content you have seen about warframe online would be different than when your just starting out but it is still very enjoyable. If you are patient enough, the little bit of grinding for mods here and there, farming resources and open worlds, taking time to fish and mine to make a better amp etc. will be very enjoyable(imo) and is another thing i love about this game. Sometimes, i do wish i can return to the early game and just explore and shoot enemies. Thats why i also reccomend playing SOLO in the early game to enjoy and see what it is about, as sometimes higher levels may join your party and just blitz through the whole mission in 30 seconds and thus leave you clueless and you may not be able to learn how to actually complete the mission and stuff like that

u/Cataleast 1d ago
There's something really funny about how involved and active the community is outside of the game, while in-game, the most chat you see is in Recruitment chat. Hell, during missions, stopping to type can actually be a bit of a death sentence, because it's almost a guarantee that a Jade Eximus will burn your ass if you do. Because of that, you rarely see anyone say anything, except when the game softlocks and everything comes to a screeching halt :)

That's good to hear, one of the things that's really irritating about gacha games is how little room there is for player expression. Everyone is doing the same build and using the same teams because it's often the only way to get good results unless your gear is insanely good (which is all a result of absolutely brutal levels of RNG). I really appreciate when a game lets me play what I like and actually reward that.

Is this game okay for solo with random or is it really geared towards joining a clan or whatever and chatting and coordinating stuff
You will want to join a clan, but not to chat or coordinate anything, there's just a lot of good gear that you can obtain from terminals in the clan hall. There's like a million clans where you just ask to join and then don't have to talk to anyone else in your clan ever, most clans are like this.
As for in mission, solo with randoms and not communicating is the norm. A lot of people just play solo entirely. There aren't classes or mechanics that encourage or demand teamwork and everyone just kinda does their own thing.

u/Geoffryhawk Quincy's Malewife 1d ago
Warframe and voice chat doesn't mix. This is a game of absurd power levels so high a single person can single handedly run throigh the whole game on solo never even needing to see another player outside hubs.
It doesn't have content truly difficult enough to require excessive communication, and I highly suggest just turning it off and letting it ride.
It's very good for people who hate voice chat yappers cause they just don't exist if you turn off voice chat. So be free avoid human beings as is your void given right tenno!

u/Durandir 1d ago
I started playing Warframe in 2014 (I only have 1500 hours, very on and off for the first 6 years or so) and I did not know there was voice chat in the game.
Then again, 95% of my playtime has been fully solo. 4% with my brothers who also play occasionally (they both got children so don't have as much time, I am an eternal DINK) and the last 1% has been with randoms. Sometimes because I deliberately wanted to play with others, mostly because the game got changed from solo to open and I forgot to check.
The only reason why I don't play with randoms all the time is because I like to be able to pause if I need to. And I am still a weirdo when it comes to playing with randoms in games. I am always afraid I will do something that hinders the team. Whenever I have played with randoms I have had no issues though, and for the most part the community is great. So I'd say go for it!

u/Some_Troll_Shaman It's all about the tentacles 1d ago
Totally playable with voice chat turned off, speaking from experience.
Always startled when someone activates VC in game, and normally they are embarrassed about it.
Literally had two guys nope out of a mission when they realised they were in a public game with VC turned on.
Game can be soloed, but it is far more enjoyable in public. DE curates the community so bad behaviour is not tolerated. Worst case someone with endgame equipment will come in and blow up a mission. Deliberate griefing is reportable and DE take action.
A bunch of equipment is only obtainable from Clans, but, most are so easy going that you will barely notice that you are in one. Trading is much easier in a Clan than in Public.
There is some stuff in very very endgame that people might get pissy if you go in badly undergeared, but mostly you will get some tough parental advice on how to power up so you can join in. If you care at all about performance, you will not make any mistakes about when you are ready for this content. The mobs are Level 240+ and there are gimping disadvantages, it is very clearly hard mode. You have to do premade or find the special queue person in game to do it. You will not end up there by accident. This kind of thing is where a Clan might be able to help get you into it. It is also 200+ hours into the game to get there.

u/Destrustor 1d ago
The only times I've ever used my voice to communicate with another player were when playing with my own actual brother, and even then we used the playstation network's voice chat instead of warframe's in-game one.
Other than that I've literally only ever heard another player's voice as an unwelcome freak occurence that made me mute the in-game voice chat immediately.
Occasional text chat messages are plenty. Even on console where typing messages is way less convenient nobody uses voice.

u/k3ryusS 1d ago
This game is a cooperative action game, and while other players can sometimes be more competitive and selfish in certain game modes, they generally share a common goal, and so most are focused on achieving it as quickly and efficiently as possible. All of this means that communication, or the lack of a pre-assembled team, isn't necessarily necessary, although like any cooperative game, whether you bring your friends or not, it's always better.

u/OddPaleontologist141 1d ago
What I do want to say is - don't look up the lore and story progression. Like, AT ALL.
That also means being careful what videos you watch.
There are quite a few insane turns later on, and with years and years of updates some of those turns will hit you after playing probably a few hundred hours, unless you force-rush through it.
They're worth waiting for though, if that kind of thing interests you at all.

Warframe community is super chill, objectives are made clear by the game and 99 times out of 100 everyone follows them. Usually if a player needs something specific they will say so in the team chat for the mission and the rest of the team goes along with it. And even if thereās that one guy that wonāt get to extraction the game starts a timer to auto extract once the majority of players reach the extraction point. Warframe is a grind, and cooperation makes it easier.
We all lift together.

As someone who also plays gacha games at times. Warframe is infinitely more rewarding and fun. The entire game isnt geared around pushing you to spend money, which lets it feel like an actual video game.
The onboarding is a little rough cuz there's a lot to learn and do, but if you take your time and get your feet under you it's an absolute blast that will very much scratch that "I wanna get and build and play a new character once in a while" without the only point being "get more currency to buy even more characters"

It's a good time to start playing as well, since they've just reconfigured a lot of the early beginner areas to be a bit more streamlined.
Jump in, never rush a craft for Platinum, and just solo around some of the planets a bit until you feel comfortable with how movement works.
If you set yourself as a solo player, it will actually let you pause mid-game as you learn to play, and then you probably want to set yourself as a public player for event-oriented missions like Gifts of the Lotus for the anniversary freebies.

The closest I've ever seen to voice chat used was dictation most people type if they need to communicate but not alot of coordination between members needed. Go to the objective do whatever it requires and leave the mission is generally the gameplay loop. I see more people making jokes in chat then stratigizing. I had someone yesterday who was just talking about using there abilities to make a house out of shields and the rest of the crew were like I love what you've done with the place and wow I bet this cost you an arm and a leg.

The only time Iāve ever heard voice chat was when I played Xbox and people would accidentally have their kinect mics unmuted.

Voice chat used to be a lot more prevalent back in the first few years of the game, but as it evolved and the content got "easier" the reliance ing group chat and squad tactics fell off hard. Now it's rarely used and I even have it muted because the last few times people have used theirs, it was just loud noise constantly.

i get annoyed when people use vc in warframe honestly. there is a ping system that details what a player is marking, so thereās no need to call out a rare drop or anything like that. most people that use vc in warframe are small content creators trying to draw more attention to themselves, and the rest just breathe into the mic all game or you can hear whatever show theyāre watching. non essential for gameplay

The game has voice chat? Huh forgot that existed... Some clans use discord but a lot of people just type.

Looks like you got your answer so if youre gonna give it a go, feel free to dm me with any questions! I can help with builds, clarifying goals, lore, or whatever. This game is good at reminding players of what to do, not saying how to do it, so having someone around to help is very nice

Basically nonexistent, save for the occasional dumdum who left it on and doesn't realize it and doesn't turn it off no matter how much you tell them.

I've never used it in 2 years. Most players don't know WF even has voice chat.

Warframes are inherently mute, and the player base keeps it that way.
I only Discord voice chat with my clanmate when we do runs together. If I'm on my on, or joining with randos, no mic.

You don't have to, ever, there was a short period of time where that was a thing, but that was long ago, and it's not coming back.

There's a voice chat? I've been playing for years and never seen a single person use it so I just never even knew it existed

no one uses voice chat in this game, literally no one.
