  1. I really hate you for this one DE...

    This is the first time the Acolytes have been around in what? 2 years?

    And how are they presented to us? In the worst possible way. This event is such a deceptive time sink that I do so much hate the fact that I'm feeling obligated to run it. This is essentially how this event is broken down:

    1. Find the Acolyte in some random corner of the star chat
    2. Farm said Acolyte several times for the rare drop that has a 4% chance of showing up
    3. After roughly 15-20 minutes (I haven't timed it yet but it's not based on health), repeat the process, searching the galaxy for it over and over again

    This is NOT fun.

    Christmas is in a few days, why are you forcing us to spend hours and hours to get a few mods? Why do you want us to choose this over our families? You might argue that we can choose not to play this event and that we aren't really missing out.

    To that my response is simply Maiming Strike. This is one of the most expensive mods on Warframe Market at all times. Since these Acolytes spawn one at a time after the predecessor's life reaches 0, there will be a LIMITED window to acquire mod. According to the Wiki, Violence, the Acolyte from which this mod drops, typically doesn't last more than 16-18 HOURS. Everyone is gonna farm this DE...and the people that DON'T get to farm them, because people, I don't know...CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS WITH THEIR FAMILIES will have to trudge through fights with Misery an ungodly number of times to even have a chance at getting what they want.

    I love what you're bringing here in terms of content for this event this season. I absolutely hate how you've presented it. It's Christmas...give us something...

    You could have had all of these Acolytes on a fixed timer instead of a health bar, let's say 7 days from now. You could also have them spawn in a defined planet or node, that way players know what they're getting instead of having to sit at their keyboard for 15 minutes or so while they wait for somebody to track the Acolyte down. This would be fun, players would be able to farm what they needed, you would have a consistently high playerbase due to the exclusivity of these mods, and you wouldn't be alienating those who don't have hours and hours to try and farm 1 single mod.

    I don't know why you did this, and I hate you for it. The only downside I could see to my proposed idea would be the price of Maiming Strike being driven down by the increased supply, but why you'd care about that, I have no idea.

    But challenging Kela only expends 50 points, so it would be 2 times Rathuum per Kela Assassination. Also, you could sell some mods that you get from her to at least compensate your effort (Medi-Ray goes for 30p+ for example).

    2 times*

    Fair enough, but still doesn't refund me all the time I'm having to spend to acquire a base Warframe that's going to be used for MR fodder then sold, seeing as I've had Saryn Prime for ages now. If I were interested in plat I would be doing vault runs or selling rare primes pieces.

    I really just want to be done with this god-awful boss grind. At least with Tyl Regor you get to keep fighting Tyl - instead of having to solo level 85 enemies without energy two times over just to get an attempt.

  3. Hi,

    I just finished fighting Kela De Thaym for the 12th time in search of at least 1 of the 2 Saryn Systems I need to build Saryn and Chroma. And for the 12th time I received something other than that piece...having expended all of my Victory Points, I am now forced to play Vodyanoi - a mission that nobody plays anymore after the Ash/Ash Prime nerf destroyed it for endo farming - 4 times in order to fight Kela De Thaym again and presumably not get the Saryn Systems I need...

    No other boss in this game, aside from Tyl Regor possibly, requires so much effort to complete a set.

    Some solutions:

    • Increase the drop chance of Saryn Systems (currently 22.56%) versus Saryn Chassis and Saryn Neuroptics (38.72% each)
    • Increase the amount of Victory Points earned in the arena missions, especially Vodyanoi (currently 25 per win)
    • Add normal loot tables to the enemies in the arena missions so that players have an incentive to actually farm these missions (Neural Sensors perhaps)
    • Do away with the Victory Point gating altogether
    • Allow people to trade regular, non-primed components

    Acquiring these frames has been such a chore and having to run these arena missions solo is both frustrating and time consuming. Statistically I should have received the piece I need at least twice by now. Instead I have to trudge through more arena missions to inevitably be disappointed once I kill Kela and receive pieces I don't need again.

  4. Hey guys,

     

    I've played Warframe a lot in the past but a consistent crash when loading forced me to uninstall it. I was once in Crescent Moon clan but was obviously booted for inactivity. I'm a 21 year old guy playing on the East Coast looking for a group of players that have completed their research and would prefer those with some form of voice communication, preferably teamspeak. My mastery level is currently 7.

     

    My IGN is TheDutchDemon, feel free to message me or reply to this post if your clan is recruiting and I'll gladly take a look. Depending on how much correspondence this gets me I may just come back and look at the recruitment threads, but I'm a bit short on time at the moment so I thought I'd throw this up there.

     

    Thanks for any consideration.
