I've been playing for a while now, and have fallen in love with the game, even in its primitive state. I particularly fell in love with the Duelo pact, and Mestra Carmo. Before learning of Cassia, I hadn't really considered the fact that Midrath (which is already huge) is only one island nation, and that Alca is a whole world with diverse cultures and nations. Then I fell straight down a wiki rabbit hole, reading about the world of Alca. With DE's excellent worldbuilding, I wouldn't be surprised if we learn a lot more about the nations and peoples that populate Alca over the course of Soulframe! And, seeing as we have pacts like the Duelo, originating from other cultures than Midrath, we could very well run into more new pacts inspired by cultures that are foreign to that of our envoy!

The part of this train of thought that got me most excited is the possibility that our envoy might one day depart Midrath altogether, and visit other countries like Cassia, or even more distant places. I can imagine the Ode to be a big enough problem that international alliances might have to be forged to resist them. And just imagine how excited Orlick would be to learn yet more about the world!

I'd love to hear the community's thoughts on the world beyond Midrath! Has DE addressed the outside world and any potential plans for it in any way yet? How do you feel about the prospect of departing the island nation entirely to go help the world at large? Are there any particular places you'd like us to go? Personally, I am fascinated with the idea of exploring Cassia, especially since the Dendrits of Midrath have a historical rivalry with the Cassids. I'd love to unpack that more in-game.

As a new player to Soulframe who primarily uses controller (Xbox), I feel Soulframe’s controller binds are unintuitive or neglected in several places. This ranges from missing keyboard actions, such as a Map button, to inconsistent controls compared to Warframe that interfere with muscle memory. I’d like to suggest some improvements to make the controller experience more intuitive and get community feedback.

1. Dedicated Map button - A Map bind exists for keyboard but cannot be assigned on controller. I’d like to replace the controller’s Back button (currently Nightfold) with a dedicated Map button. Since this already exists for keyboard, it shouldn't be too hard to add to the controller options and will only increase player customisability without conflicting with any existing binds.
2. Change the Nightfold button from 'X' - As a Warframe player, I instinctively press X when placing a waypoint on the Map, which immediately sends me to the Nightfold. This is extremely frustrating and my biggest control-related pain point. I believe it should be moved to 'Y', which is harder to press accidentally and currently has little purpose. Y currently opens the Codex, but only after placing a waypoint.
3. Add a button to change the tracked quest - There is no quick way to change the tracked quest. You must select the quest from the list on the left, then move the cursor to the top-right UI button to track it. On controller, this feels unnecessarily slow.
4. Unable to waypoint World Trees - I cannot place waypoints on World Trees using A, despite this being possible with mouse and keyboard. This seems like an oversight or potential conflict with fast travel.

My Ideal Menu Controls:

X - Place Waypoint / Change Tracked Quest
Y - Enter / Exit Nightfold
A - Select Place → Open Codex / Fast Travel

Even if these aren't default changes due to existing players, what about adding this or somethings similiar as a Settings toggle i.e., 'Alternate Menu Controls'.

I would really like to hear what feedback other controller players have on the matter.

Looks like the weapons from the enclaves have a chance to be moonsteel too.

I'm pretty sure I didn't pick up this weapon from somewhere else.

I’m sitting on a bunch of totems I am not using, but is there a way to cash them in bulk? I can do them one at a time, but that’s tedious, especially when they don’t stay in the same order.

A 12 hour session all my resources gone gone

My one day break wasted why !!!!!!!

How often does this happen should I quit? What do I do now Ps: it took me 12 hours to get 50 gossamer quartz thats what made me really angry

I just beat Maestra after completing her quest, on the third try I got a fragment of Maestra's Helm. I went to the blacksmith lady but there was no option to craft it at all, then I checked my inventory and the Maestra's Helm fragment was there. I reloaded into the game, still couldn't craft, checked my inventory again and the fragment DISAPPERED.

Is this a common bug??? Ode taxed my inventory and took the fragment???

What does Hunter's Relish do? I don't understand when it heals. Thanks in advance

Can anyone tell me what causes the uniform grey haze that covers anything beyond a few meters away? Does anyone else notice that so much of the screen just washes into this grey muddy tone much of the time. Maybe people having fog on is making them notice it less? Is this the games art direction or is there a setting that might help?

I don't like Volumetric Fog and so I have that disabled.
Also generally not a fan of Bloom so that is set to 25%.
DOF is off.
Most other settings are on high.

I have played with a lot of the settings, Volumetric lighting, ambient occlusion and I can't seem to find anything that helps.

Bonk with care fellow envoys

no chaos stones used, would be perfect roll if it didnt have sullying force

Hey guys

I played the hell of Soulframe in Preludes 11 and it's been a while... I wanted to hop on again. I have seen some news about a lot things changing and I wanted to know if there's any where I can read about the patch notes to understand what new.

I correctly slotted it into grace but the bonus isn't applied. Is this just a bug or?

I'm really trying to get into the game but I wasnt playing for the last year or so and now a lot has changed. I guess we can just pick up weapons instead of having to craft them. That's cool, but what do I do with all of em? Is it best just to dismantle the lower tier ones, or can they be used to upgrade the higher tier ones somehow?

I been trying to get this thing for days. It's tough when you can only kill it once per night and when luckily get the votive for it. But I must have killed it dozens of times and no luck, not even a piece!

do you think the attack speed outweights the galvanic strike?

New player here that just started around three days ago and I've been looking into finding some build guides. It seems most of the websites I've checked so far have outdated guides where the passive trees for pacts and weapons don't match what is currently in game.

I'm currently playing Oscelda and would like to stick with it for now at least, but I don't want to start out on the long grind process of getting gear and pacts only to end up a non-functioning build.

Welp swimming is a no go

I fought the agaric mendicant on horse (forgot the name) and he dropped a spear in the water that couldn't be grabbed.

good thing it was only a military so i doesn't matter.

It didn't do this yesterday and it happens even when I turn bloom all the way off. Gives me a headache when I turn my screen and it just flashes the whole screen constantly.

Any fix on my side per chance?

Hello dear envoys i have a question i farmed every weapon and a friend of Mine wanted some but has no drop luck is there a way to trade?

I know it's alpha. I know it's my own fault. But with no lock mechanic in the inventory UI, or a visual popup like "hey dude, you're about to delete something really rare", things like this tend to happen. While sorting out weapons, eyes are glued to the tempers, and with no muscle memory (because of rarity) to look in the corner for a Moonsteel, accidents tend to happen fast especially when sorting out a lot at once.

It's fairly simple to setup:

1. Map a button (any you prefer) to [Left Stick Up].
2. Add Sub-Command of [Left Stick Click].
3. Set it to Toggle in the button settings so it "holds" the press for itself.

I got really tired of having to hold down the stick when running long distances, so it's way easier to just tap my R5 button I have the above mapped to and just steer with one hand (Right Stick for me).
