For all of my fellow PS4 owners I have compiled some useful information about Waframe. Warframe is free to play and is currently my favorite game on the entire system.
One of the first things you should do (If you happen to be a PSN Plus member) is download the free starter pack. This will help you out tremendously. Just make sure not to waste your Platinums. Most frames in the game can be obtained from simple farming. If you do chose to spend it on a character make sure it's (Vaubon,Banshee,Volt or Excalibur) as they are the most difficult to create. Volt for example is only 75 (Which is a great bargain considering he comes with a 20 platinum item and a slot). It also should be noted you can buy the Blueprints for frames (Do not buy these yet!) As you will NOT have access to the items you need until later in the game.
If you have the platinum or simply don't know what kind of character you might like. I created this guide to help!
While you start with either Excalibur/Loki/Mag you might opt to replace them ASAP:
In my opinion the best four frames right now are: Rhino/Nova/Nyx due to some overpowered abilities. This game is constantly updated so nothing stays broken for long. Some frames like (Ember/Valkyr) are currently at a huge disadvantage right now due to nerfs. Hopefully when PS4 gets some updates this will change.
I also gave each character a tier value with (1) being the highest and (5) the lowest. (Note this is subject to change with updates)
The ratings are also based on skill,longevity and unique typing. (Excalibur would for example be easier to use then Loki and seem superior but this is not the case on equal terms. I also penalized frames that have no unique traits or are outclassed by something similar (Therefore becoming obsolete).
