===Housekeeping===
*New Wiki redesign (working with the this Wiki!) "Phresh"
*PS4 Update 12: Coming after three critical patches. Patches will begin deployment next week.
*WARFRAME has passed Sony Certification in Japan, and will launch with the PS4 in that region!
*Update 12 Happened, lots of cool stuff
===Redistributed Void Drop Tables===
*They have been deployed!
*Defense & Survival: 15 Minute rewards are actually 20 minute rewards; mistype from 4am deployment of U12. Live since yesterday
===Snowglobe Nerf===
 was nerfed heavily, making players worried that other useful end-game frames (Nova, Vauban) will also be nerfed. Irrational fear? Follow up: a lot of powers have power/damage changes depending on armor/enemy stats, but others (Loki's Radial Disarm) are not. Balance issues?
*Scott: I noticed a lot of times I played Frost, I got bored; I get brought on missions to hit 3. Is this the perfect solution? Maybe not, but we wanted him to be more dynamic, and we're taking your suggestions
*Frost Power Utility: freezing and damage
===HUD Customization===
*We are looking into more customization options for the HUD! Keep up the suggestions!
*They've heard your feedback, they're working on it!
*Give your support to Dorian and Pablo, the HUD gurus!
===Melee 2.0===
*Aiming for end of February release
*Programmers, Sound Design, other elements are overloaded
*The new Grineer Hammer was given polearm animations as a placeholder, will be replaced
===Endgame===
*VIDEOS of "some crazy stuff," most of it leaked via Design Council. Three potential projects!
*NOTE: Another summary was posted on the Design Council, check out the leak here!
*REMINDER: These are just ideas, nothing finalized yet!
====Focus====
*find a lens/paths/skill trees, basically, that affect Warframe/Weapon performance or skills.
*"Find a Warrior Lens, excess XP goes to Warrior Points, then based on Mastery you can unlock points to use in the skill trees.
*Will not be like mods" "Focus state: BEAST MODE?"
*"Per player account, not just gear-focused! Upgrading YOU as a Tenno, not just your gear"
*The economics of it aren't "awesome" right now, will be improved upon
====Proxy War====
*Trying to make good on Battle Pay: side allegiances will be tracked with factions
*Clans gain alliances with the factions
*SECRET ORDERS: "Red Veil; a guild of assassins" - "The Oracles of Saturn; collecting information about the Warframe Universe"
*Secret orders will give standing points and rise in the ranks of those organizations.
*Interesting cosmetic items, exclusive mods as rewards for secret order missions
*More of a sandbox game for newer players, rather than restrictive "progression" style
*A "lore buffet" - "vor's prize"
*If you are enemy #1 with the Corpus, or revered with the Red Veil, players can have a personality for their Tenno
====Badlands====
*Locations in Starchart that are ADDED to the game, unaccessible until a large clan (or alliance of small clans) can cooperate to build a SOLAR RAIL
*Once a clan builds a Solar Rail in that location, everyone can take the Solar Rail to this new location! However, there is a tax!
*Clan/Alliance can control the mission tax/toll. Toll road
*Badlands will have better mod drop rates, higher resource concentrations, perhaps rarer enemy types
*Another Clan/Alliance can oppose the current Solar Rail by building their own and "Challenging" it. Territory conflict
*Battle Pay-like system where users will fight for the side they support! Similar to ===Invasions===
*Doesn't seem to be PVP, no indications of Player vs Player. More likely PVE with clan impact
*Special bonuses on clan help/membership; reduced or removed toll
*The Badlands will have NO EXCLUSIVE ITEMS
===Corpus On Starchart===
*Harvester is a primary cause: "Attack on Tenno"
*We can't tell exactly what we're doing... but play Darvo's mission and you might find out! "Project Tethra?"
*"We are very aware of it, we have heard the Grineer are maybe doing something..." -Scott
===Concept Art For Inspiration?===
*Yup! Zephyr concept was very inspiring for us!
*Dive Bomb is getting looked at; we know there's an issue. Damage may be going through the floor of the mission
===Utility and process of node-to-node progression?===
*"I can't believe you're showing this today" -Sheldon
*VIDEO of the VESPER RELAY: Screenshot gallery
*Stations in each planet (in this case, Venus). Different stations for each planet!
*"The beginning of the Death of the StarChart" -Steve. We're taking the UI and putting it into the game. "Stations" to connect missions. A new large-scale lobby, like Phantasy Star hubs/Citadel in Mass Effect where all players can hang out and chat before going into missions
*No more kneeling on weird circle things, but in a real place to dock your ship and travel between areas!
*Emotes will be implemented here primarily
*In-game Market as well! The game currently has no sense of "presence." Want to make the game more immersive
*Simple UIs for quick travel and basic functions, but a place to hang out and have a character
*Wall-mounted Alert system
*Trading stations in-station as well!
===Brakk, Event Exclusive Or?===
*The "Disney Vault" of Warframe, many items will return in the future
*Founders' Exclusives will remain exclusive, and will not ever be available again: Excal, Lato, Skana Primes
*Brakk codename: "Little Mermaid"
===PS4 Performance===
*You can expect at least double framerate or more in the Void (we'll also fix this for PC as well)
===Thoughts For Warframe Abilities/Mods?===
*No release date yet, but 2014 has brought code support for abilities that work for any Warframe
*Players can start to customize their Warframes further
*Idle packs to be used on all frames: Rhino in the Ember pose, "let's embrace it" -Geoff. "Sexy Rhino" -Steve
*Embrace the customization
===Lore===
*Ember Codex entry
*Darvo's new mission
*Hyenas are going to be in the Codex soon, sorry about that!
===Serration Retirement!?===
*No, we're not retiring Serration, but we do want to increase damage diversity
*Circumstantial Damage buffs? Ex. Damage+ on headshots, Damage+ on unaware enemies, etc.
===Next Primed Warframe===
*90% Chance with it being Rhino or Loki!
*Will launch with Melee 2.0, end of February
===Warframe Merch Store Coming Soon!===
*OH MY GOD!
*"Squeaky clean and oh so sexy"
*Gangster Lotus
===New Art and Tilesets===
*VIDEO of the Shipyard set, very dark
*Tenno Katana/Wakazashi (Lotus symbol at the bottom of the guard)
*Lever-Action rifle/dual pistol concepts! Cool Terminator style reloads! May come next week
*Corpus Freeze Ray Gun
*Grineer Acid Rifle concept
*Primary Tenno Crossbow
*Grineer Death Squad drops new weapons?
*Melee Contest stuff is coming as well!
===More Mini-event like Oxium thing?===
*Yup. Yep. Yes.
*Tied into the Proxy War system or Planetary Stations
*The Darvo Alert had some cool concepts as well
===Darvo Alert, replayability?===
*They agree with us, we want to find a way to put them back in!
*Codex entries for replay options?
*We will figure it out!
===Stealth!===
*Banshee tweaks, "Silence" and Stealth
*Once Stealth features are implemented, Silence will become OP, so we're working on finding a balance -Scott
===Parkour 2.0===
*VIDEO
*It's a joke!
===Councilor Vay Hek===
*Still getting rigged
*Don't have a release date, complexity is much higher than anticipated
*More complex boss fights coming in the future
===DERF?===
