    I don't understand why they don't do this, it works well in missions.  Obviously if two minimum want to leave, the team's a bust anyway.

    That said, I haven't yet experienced anything like the trolling that Arugula has.  It's possible he might have just been unlucky (it's kind of RNG whether you get tosspots in teams).

    I wish I was just unlucky. I made another thread since this about all my problems with PoE (I link this thread in it so I don't want to keep bumping myself, check my profile if you're interested)

    This is not uncommon, I experience something similar every single day and almost every single squad I am in everyone complains about how we need individual extraction. It is the only fair solution. 

    You don't want to pull other people out, that way the fishers and miners can do their thing if they so choose and you can go in, do your bounty or whatever and leave when you're done. Everyone wins and there is no stress. It's free roam mode and this should be the goal. 

    Right now however it is just a cess pool of nonsense and toxic behaviour. Seriously I experience at least one insane meltdown every single day minimum. It's a disease as it stands now. 

    Pls DE this is RUINING everything this update has to offer and turning it into a horrible recess or toxcisisity.

    1- obviosuly, this is on many threads. you can't give us multiple missions without individual extraction (Bounty, then mine, then fish, then kill eildelon, etc). When there was nothing else to do after completing a missions was one thing, but staying is now "encouraged".

    2 - Agreed. I wartched many streams, got literally nothing but fireworks, 2 latron bps, and a wisp statue (and the syandana for watching any stream). I did see someone survivie the night but didn't get teh sigil. Twitch left a terrible taste in my mouoth. 30+ rewards, not single thing that was worth it.

    3 -  Slow down. While upping the focus cost and rate hurt vets alot, the overall costs are for the long term, you are not supposed to unlock multiple trees right away. it took almost 2 years to complete all 5 trees in Focus 1.0. Not sure what the new calculation is but many of the skills (again) are not really that great or game defining so not having them isn't terrible.  Harrow was not a soul crushing farm, sorry Nidus farm was worse than harrow. Zenuirk can now be shared with others, which is actually a real upside for anyone not playing alone, one person with zenurik frees up everyone else to take something else.  I hate forced operator more than anyone and I rail about it every chance I get but the keystrokes to put up a bubble are so smooth for zenurik you hardly notice you used operator. Focus grind got worse no question. vets who had a lot of focus farmed already god shafted by the straight up inflation, but your tack really isn't on target.

    4 - yeah AW in the plains should just be a thing. I don't want to stand and fish... sorry DE, this is a NINJA game. Unless I can use mesa's peacemaker to fish out a pond in 2 seconds I want no part of it, but AW in the plains should be a cool thing, I don't know I haven't tried it yet because yeah.. don't want to waste fish oil until I know what else it is used for. One problem with fishing is you can do it during a bounty misssion... one guy can go fish and leave the rest to do the bounty or deal with extracting...

    I mean maybe I wasn't clear enough with my criticism. I don't really think that focus is "bad" so much as it is "bad for the price". I acknowledge that zenurik is better giving energy to allies, and I admitted that it feels good. But for the cost it's just not worth it. If you're gonna screw me so hard on the focus intake, at least give me enough focus to get the full new energy overflow experience. I understand that the other focus trees are not meant to be easily accessed, I can see the justification in that. What I cannot justify is that there is a similar, or somewhat greater cost to maximizing a single node on a tree. That is what's not cool to me. And on top of that, when I invest 200k focus into something to "unlock" it, I should get the freaking ability. I shouldn't have to put in another 300k to then get the effects, that's bogus. Maybe I should have been a little more clear on that point.

    Other than that glad you generally agree with my points. 

  3. Rather than making many threads I am just going to compile all of my thoughts on the update into one. 

    1. PoE NEEDS individual extraction.

    Currently the biggest game breaking issue facing PoE is that it has become a toxic cesspool caused directly be trapping us in a space and not allowing us to leave unless everyone else does. It is quite frankly a mess and ruins the game. Many people seem to agree on this point, I've seen other threads on it, but if you want to read a more detailed version of mine, and other's experiences and thoughts I made another thread here: 

     

    So I need not go on an entire tangent about that again. Seriously though this needs to be fixed asap.

    2. The twitch giveaways are a disaster. 

    Again, most everyone seems to agree on this. Maybe I am biased, I spent many hours on the original release of the event, which was the same day PoE came out. I watch many hours of many different streamers to get NOTHING in rewards. This experience was so common that DE stopped the promotion only to start it again in the middle of another day with practically no warning. Now since then I have tried to watch streams (tiring as it is now) and have only gotten the wisp statue. I don't think its possible to get the sigil now. This is the BRUTALLY honest review, so I'm going to be clear about how I feel about this. Honestly this feels like you are spitting in my face, and in the faces of everyone who sat up night after night refreshing and refreshing to see when the update dropped and immediately began watching streams for hours to get these rewards. The effort of these players clearly means nothing to you, or at least that is the point you are making when you do this. What you should have done was just give the items out at that point, instead of telling the people who worked hardest to comply with your initial statements of what we had to do that our time and effort is worth nothing. And with exclusive items to? It's shameful and I feel personally disrespected for my time and my effort. Somewhat similar to how login rewards should have carried over this is a slap in the face to the people who have given the MOST to your game and you seem not to care. That sucks. It demotivates me from playing the game, and certainly makes me never want to watch warframe on twitch again, as it now only represents frustration to me. And I know others feel the same.

    3. Focus is bad. 

    One million focus. That is almost all I need to say to get most people to become frustrated. One million focus. Again this gives off the impression that you either don't realistically understand or don't really don't care the amount of time and effort people put into this game. And it would be one thing if it was one million to access everything, but no, it costs one million to get a tree, one million to "unbind" a single node, and probably more than a million to upgrade it to max potential. For those unaware: the cap is 250,000 a day. So it would take 8 days of non stop grinding to get you ONE unbound node, and that does not include upgrading it. 8 days is the amount of time it took me to grind harrow which I think we can ALL agree is an awful awful soul-crushing farm. Not to mention that unlocking a node doesn't even do anything a lot of the time and there are no refunds! Lightning dash, for example, cost me 200,000 focus. Nearly an ENTIRE DAY'S worth of work to unlock. But guess what? It doesn't even do anything. It cost me 1 full days of work to accomplish NOTHING. That is just a sick joke. The average player will get around 2k focus a mission (yes I know if you farm you can get much higher focus per mission but I'm making a point), now that is someone that is just playing the game to have fun. It would take them 100 missions to unlock a node that literally does nothing. Am I the only one who thinks that this is completely insane? It is not fun to have to sit in a boring mission with a small map and grind focus all day, or find exploits all day just to get a node that does nothing. That is crazy. For all of our work we deserve better progression than that. It's bad. Mind you ultimately the best thing you can get, which you have to work harder for than ever before, for me at least, is an objectively worse version of energy overflow. I mean, it's fun to make the bubble, it's fun to do I'll give them that. However it's hardly practical, switching in and out is odd mechanically, and I've noticed often breaks in PoE for a lot of people currently, not sure what's up with that. But ultimately it's not the best. You're telling us to constantly use the kids, when previously people would avoid doing it around new players to save the integrity of the best part of the game, second dream (at least I did ). And now you're subtly taking that away from players. It's confusing, it's a little clunky, but really I could get over that if it wasn't just so horrible to try and get in the first place and 200k focus didn't just get wasted in the process of you actually trying to progress some in all of this mess. 

    4. Fishing

    There are hardly any fish. Too much fish oil for the  sky archwing (if you ask me any amount is too much, but here we are). People go fishing at the worst times, but honestly that could be solved with individual extraction. I don't have a huge problem with this, I just think it needs to be made a little bit easier, maybe increase the hit boxes of the fish and make them give a little more oil if you really intend to stick with that.

    5.Archwing

    Another common criticism; I payed 175 platinum (a very specific number that requires the 3rd tier of platinum to be purchased) to get a blueprint and no charges. That is HEAVILY misleading and just plain not worth it. There is another thread on this that displays the grievances of players who feel similarly than I ever could so I'll just link that here:

    6. While I'm here can we get pet birds? None of that caged stuff, real flying bird companions.

    I know it seems that I have a lot of negative points, but I think that it is only through the acknowledgement of these issues that we can help this update, and the game, grow in the direction that will make it the best it could possibly be. Thank you.

  4. After many days of playing on the plains I have realized that this is not an isolated issue. Nearly every single person who I encounter in the plains claims to have experienced something like this, and is cautious of other players.

    This creates a Toxic environment where everyone is on their guard and treat each other horribly because the game, as it is, is broken.

    In a mode that not only anticipates, but caters specifically to new players, this is especially toxic, as new players do not know what they are doing (obviously) and others will berate them usually to no effect.

    Things as they are are not functioning. It is regularly accepted that you will not get rewards because people will not leave with you. This has happened to me so frequently that I have experienced many nights in the plains, have killed many small sentients, but have almost NO sentient cores. The night cycle is a hot commodity due to it being only half the time of the day (50 minutes compared to 100 minutes), and no one can ever agree on when to leave. New players have no idea what is going on, veterans need those eidolon kills, and somehow there is always ONE person trying to fish. 

    The result of this is just a mess. It's awful. It's not fun, everyone is upset constantly, it's basically part of the game at this point. No one gets the items they need, adding to the already heavily criticized RNG the game relies on. I cannot stress this enough IT IS A DISASTER. it is ruining what should be a fun experience, and it is such an easy fix, I have read so many people saying the same thing I have no idea how it is has not been changed at this point. 

    we NEED individual extraction, there is NO other way to make this playable.

    This is a game breaking problem. It NEEDS to be changed NOW or the game will continue to be BROKEN.

    Please someone from DE PLEASE change this. The game is not fun and it is BROKEN right now.

    I thought I read that about the drops. Thats good to know. So every time you pick something up everything is saved? I guess that solves the problem. I don't know if I kept everything, I know someone else I was with did not keep their stuff. I guess there are bugs but at least the way it's supposed to work doesn't allow this issue. 

    Thanks for the clarification

    1 hour ago, InDueTime-EN- said:

    This might be because we are getting relatively new players due to the update. 

    Yeah you might be right about that. One of them was a new player, but one was mastery rank 17. I guess that's not really a precise indication of how long you've been playing tho. 

    Still I could see this being partly the problem for some people also having this experience. 

  6. I watched for HOURS when PoE came out and got NOTHING. 

    This promotion is a disaster.

    They need to just give it to everyone with linked accounts there is no other way that is fair  truly to everyone at this point.

    If you disable your Internet for a few seconds warframe will move you to a private session where you can solo extract with rewards intact. 

    Just make sure you reconnect your Internet as soon as it separates you from the squad, or else it will kick you to the login screen. 

    I mean that's interesting but far from a solution.

    I should not be reduced to this because of an exploit that allows players to torture other players. 

    This is a blatant flaw in game design and NEEDS to be changed ASAP

  8. To be clear I was in a group that was hunting eidelons and one person wanted to leave. We told him we didn't want to. He then got mad and said he was going to "afk so [we] don't get xp or rewards" make us all "suffer" (actual quotes, I recorded the incident because it was so bizarre) then stayed in one spot only moving enough to not get kicked. One squad member left pretty immediately, and so many people arrived in the game, realized he was afk at the start, and extracted. This happened until eventually he actually convinced a new player to stand with him. My remaining squad mate and I then were forced to leave.

    I realize the amount of detail is probably unnecessary, but I feel it helps illustrate just how crazy this problem really is.

    I feel like this post should be getting more attention, this is pretty game breaking.

    This whole experience has put me off warframe for right now. 

    Back to Pokemon showdown for a while

  9. I am having a really just insane experience where other people are harassing me and not letting me leave the plains. 

    I'm fairly certain this constitutes bullying in some sense, and therefore I assume must also be violating the rules in some fashion. Regardless there is a fundamental flaw in this system that this is even allowed to happen. 

    Really not sure what to do about this. 

    Edit: 

    Finally just decided to abort. Wasn't sure if I was going to lose anything but I really didn't care by the end. I think the return to cetus thing needs to he removed for free roam. No one deserves to go through what I just went through.

    Just people refusing to leave and harassing them the whole time. That was so awful. This community is normally so great what I just witnessed was the most disgusting display in all my 4 years of playing the game. 

    Something needs to be done about this. This cannot be allowed.

    Are you kidding? We're already overfishing the seas simply to EAT them. No way will fish oil provide anything even remotely approaching a sustainable automobile fuel source even IF we found a way to convert it into usable fuel.

    I've been saying for years that we need to start farming the whales. 

    Oil crisis: solved

  11. Yeah for 175 platinum it's ridiculous I could not agree more.

    Without discounts you have to spend a minimum of $20 to get 175 plat, not 170 that would cost just $10, they had to slip in the extra 5 plat so you have to buy the 370 platinum for $20. 

    $20 to be faced with a grind wall. Yeah that's really upsets me. Like a lot. 

    I had a discount and happened to have EXACTLY 5 platinum (no joke), so I was lucky enough to have only spent $8. I still feel ripped off. 

    Admittedly I should have known before I bought that it was going to cost resources, but the second I saw dojo requirement my instinct was to skip it. 

    This feels like a huge cash grab and I feel like i have been tricked, or at least mislead. 

    How are you going to tie sky archwing to the dojo? Smh.

    This is fine. Good on you for being an advocate for a proven helpful medicine. However, while I can respect that, blatant belitting of others for simply posting apparently incorrect information is just rude and not a very good reflection on one's character. You are completely allowed to share your opinion on something, but were these comments really neccessary to get your point across?

    I mean no hostility.

    You're right. I got too heated in both of those instances. I'm sorry to the two people I said that to. I get very passionate about this, but it's no excuse and there's no way around that. 

    They weren't necessary. You're right. I feel kinda bad for saying that now. I guess I felt a little attacked but I'm putting myself out here. Regardless that's not an excuse. It's certainly not good for my cause. 

  13. 26 minutes ago, TrickshotMcGee said:

    Not relevant because your teachings don't change the fact that it's illegal, and talking about illegal things is something that gets you banned. 

    Well as I previously stated moonshine is illegal in some states. Why not ban talking about that? Cause it's silly. I know DE has a right to do whatever they want, this is just how I feel about this one particular decision, and I wanted to say how I felt because I think it's really important. I appreciate you doing the same.

    So you're going to say that your college knows for a fact that every single person who smokes does it because there's something wrong with them? 

    I'm sorry, but that's really damn stupid to assume. It's a blanket statement and, frankly, simply not true. I know from experience, not sitting in a classroom or reading about it in a textbook. Be certified in whatever you want, but experience trumps learning about it from books every time. 

    Now, I'm not saying you don't know what you're talking about. I'm sure you understand medicinal properties of the substance, and probably the history of it. 

    What I'm saying is that some of the assumptions you're making are ridiculous. Not everyone who smokes/has smoked has mental health issues. The probability of that being true is astronomically low. Not every state that didn't vote for it had greed-driven lobbyists speaking against it. 

    Well just about every human being has some type of mental illness. Mental illness is caused by an imbalance in brain chemistry, something particularly prevalent in teens. We've all been depressed, we've all been anxious, especially as kids. Cannabis effects the brains by balancing brain chemistry. creating homeostasis in the brain. This is why it's good for the mentally ill. It is also why you cannot overdose on cannabis, you cannot have "too much" homeostasis, or balance. If these kids with their unstable brain chemistry escape even a moment of painful depression or anxiety, is the very definition of medical benefit? This is why I believe this is so important. The scale of the medical effects of cannabis are greater than most people know.

    Now about the history, again I said directly the people who vote against cannabis legalization "are not bigots". I literally just said that, come on man. The vote I am referring to was back in the 30's when we can all agree (I would think) that america was very racist. The law was actually the original vote to make cannabis ILLEGAL that was soaked in racism. That is because corporations like timber, pharmaceuticals, tobacco, and alcohol lobbied against it, preying on people's racism. For example the film "refer madness" was funded almost entirely by big tobacco and Heineken. The film (along with lobbying efforts of these corporations and others that would benefit) is responsible for the term "marijuana" which actually isn't a word, but a Mexican slang term. They did this and also insinuated that it would lead Mexicans and minorities to commit violent crimes, specifically against women. Yeah that's how cannabis became illegal in the early 30's. And that is deeply seeded in racism, obviously they played on the huge amount of racist people back then, including congress at the time. This has nothing to do with people today, to be perfectly clear, this has everything to do with the people who initially made cannabis illegal. Any substance is legal under united states law until it is placed on the list of controlled substances. This is what got it on that list. Their reasons were almost entirely racist, and were funded by large corporations with everything to gain, mainly big tobacco, alcohol, timber, and pharmaceuticals. That is just history, and has nothing to do with people today. However, it's just more reason to overturn the rules, thought that is just my opinion.

    Is it weird that this topic is making me feel nostalgic for when I first got to the Forums and wanted to champion strangers on the grounds of right and wrong, even though they never wanted me to?  Man, I started so many B.S. arguments.

    Well I'm glad somebody got something positive out of all this. 

    I just really want to get my educated thoughts out here. Ultimately the hope is that maybe, just maybe some dev will read this and think "hey you know, hes got some points", and maybe just maybe they pass it up the ladder and this stops being an issue. I know it's a ghost of a chance, but nothing ventured nothing gained, am I right?

    I grew up in the american south. High school was across the street from a farmer who kept cows. Plenty of people smoked.

    I can promise. I knew a lot of people who did it for fun. Not because they were depressed or anxious or anything of the nature. I certainly never did it because of stress. You just have too much faith in people. If you tell a bunch of high school kids "hey, smoking weed is fun, here's some" they're gonna do it. They don't need to be depressed, they don't have to have some form of health/mental health issue. 

    Plenty of people do it without need. 

    As someone who is certified on the topic I disagree. The reason teenagers are attracted to it is because they often suffer from mental illness you're telling me I don't know what I'm saying when I'm three times certified on the subject, you don't know what's going on in their heads. This is not an opinion, this comes directly from the many experts who teach at the college where I earned my certifications. So nice try.

    Parts of this are inaccurate. 

    I won't  get into them because it will get very politically heavy and opens up for too much off-topic stuff. I'll focus then on one thing:

    You also think you know what you're talking about. You have no idea why some states didn't pass it. You just assume. Some of that stuff was true in the past, of course, but now it's very different. Plenty of states will concede the medical benefits (Florida, as an example). But the individuals in the states all have different reasons for not voting it in. And 10 million+ people in Florida aren't all racists or money driven bigots who didn't vote for it. But I'll drop this here because nothing good is going to come of this end of the conversation.

    I KNOW what I'm talking about because I went to COLLEGE for it and learned from EXPERTS and have THREE CERTIFICATIONS of expertise in the area. I know better than you, I can tell you that as an absolute fact. If you were attempting to understand me you might have realized that I am not saying anything about anyone who currently prohibits the law. But it is a historical FACT that the reason it was illegal in the first place was because of greedy people in the timber and pharmaceutical industry. They did things like popularize the word "marijuana" to associate the plant with the Mexicans that they said were likely to commit violent crimes while under its influence. Again, deeply seeded in racism. But that has nothing to do with anyone now, other than we haven't yet revoked these laws that are deeply seeded in corporate greed and racism. To be clear, no one is a bigot for not voting for it, but the people who lobbied for these laws in the first place certainly were. That is history.

    I also want to point out that there has been some massive derailing of the original topic. Fact is - it's against the rules to use those particular words in public chat channels. Reason is irrelevant. 

    This is all perfectly relevant, as the op is upset he can't say these things for fear of getting banned. 

    I agree with op, it shouldn't be an issue. 

    I am certified in the field. I feel compelled to help make his case, and have more than enough facts to help support it.

    Lemme stop ya here. I agree that there's a reason they're doing it. But getting high for fun (as the likely overwhelming majority of people do and always have) is not a valid reason, I'm sorry. 

    The point is that they think it's for fun, but it's really because they're depressed, anxious, or something of that nature. These are the same reasons people drink, but the difference is this substance actually has medical benefit.  No one does it for no reason, I assure you. These illnesses are serious, and the people who suffer from them deserve to be taken seriously and treated with respect. Respect like not kicking them from chats. 

    5 minutes ago, TrickshotMcGee said:

    I imagine that someone with that kind of illness knows how much of a meme saying "smoking weed" is. I have a couple clannies who do it for medical purposes and one has cancer, so it's not lost on me. None of them has just come out and said "I smoke weed because I have 'X' disease". There are better and less crude or meme-y ways to say it, and everyone knows that. Especially people who use it for medicine and the people who devote their lives to it by way of studying it for medicine.

    Yes, it's a helpful thing overall. But it is still something that a huge number of people don't do with medicinal purposes in mind. They do it because they want to get high. As long as that is the most common reason, most people aren't going to take it seriously. Hell, most of the US refuses to even let it be used for prescriptions because it has been abused since it was discovered. 

    I am glad the OP is being helped by it. But if they want to tell people about it, then there's no difficulty in finding a way to do so while also following chat rules. 

    I denounce the idea of "abuse" of the substance. Furthermore the states that ban the substance still have done so because they have NEVER recognized its medical benefit and are still stuck in the past where "refer madness" and other falsehoods were spread around, most of them deeply seeded in personal conflicts of interests involving corporations (timber, pharmaceuticals) and racism. If you do your research you'd see that's why it was banned in the first place. Not because of any abuse, because of misinformation spread in a disgusting manor for the personal gain of a few. Again everyone that thinks they know best, I ACTUALLY know what I'm talking about.

    I appreciate your enthusiasm on the subject! Also I hear your point. 

    I have dedicated my life to the substance, and my stance is a very common one, all use is medical. Even if people are doing it without the proper paperwork it's still objectively a good thing for their health, because there's a reason why they're doing it. 

    Obviously it's not my game. I just think in one where murder is like a backdrop the illegality of a plant that does some pretty good things seems silly, and I don't think the people who do nothing wrong should get caught up in that.

    I mean could you imagine someone with a serious illness getting kicked for that? It's worse than kids making jokes about it in my opinion, which is really what the rule is meant to prevent, and the worst thing that could possibly come of it.

    I just read this I'm not raging at you. At least that's not my intention and I'm sorry if I upset you. This is a very important issue for me obviously, it's what I dedicate my life to. You say you work in the industry too I hope you understand just how serious and important the work done in this industry is to many. 

    I cut that part of the comment because I thought you're only supposed to leave in the parts you're responding to. Again, not raging, just making a point about something I am extremely passionate about. I appreciate your personal stance on the ban.
