  1. I'd say the best idea is to not penalize explorers, make resources drops shared like credits are, one player grabs them the whole team gets it, drop the 0 completion credits for not getting to the extraction point, this way rushers can rush, explorers can explore, and no-one annoys each other

     

    and afkers can afk

  2.  I don't see a difference between those two things, aside from one involving trips the the Orokin Hotel.

     

    Lol.

     

    I guess one could say the orokin hotel is a bit more interesting than farming M prime for ferrite. But yeah, in the end they are both very similar.

  3. A) That's a rather broad generalization to be making. You should probably stay away from those.

     

    B)

    Italicized for emphasis.

    Farming Forma > farming mats/credits for trash rotation weapons.

     

     

    (yeah im still lurking around. I did stop playing though other than daily logins.)

  4. so.....20+ years of gaming = new gen ?

     

    please teach me master

     

    i bet ur 14 years old

     

    i went to check the profile and the age is hidden

     

    if you dont like hard games like these go play pacman or hello kitty online kid

     

    Your part of the new gen because of your mindset not your age. (you also have the reading comprehension of younger people)

     

    I mean, no old school gamer would consider Warframe hard.

     

    The game is very simple. The GRIND is just mindless and time consuming.

     

    Also lol at all the little insult attempts. You better watch out, the mods here like to ban for silly stuff like that.

  5.  Alright, I can kinda understand that. Although really none of the weapons in the game right now are so horrible they can't be worked with to at least work them to 30 and dispose of them.

     

     I choose to have a short list of weapons that are my Favorites - those weapons I'll min/max with to get peak everything in time. Everything else is just running laps through the arsenal. I learn about the weapons using them and decide if they'll become permanent additions to my collection. 

     

     I've no desire to own it all - to min/max every weapon or warframe. So far this has worked out well for me. Perhaps you should exercise the same mindset? Makes things much simpler. 

     

     For me ranking up a weapon doesn't feel like a grind at all - quite the contrary as I've learned to enjoy myself doing it - for me the grind is all in crafting.

     

    It does vary greatly from weapon to weapon.

     

     

    The kunai was fun to level even though i knew i would sell it. Why? Because of the 2 V slots and armor ignore. A lvl6 kunai can equip a high lvl serration and be very powerful and useful at low levels.

     

    If all weapons where like kunai: new,interesting,powerful. Then there would be less of a problem.

     

    The problem is. To get to mastery rank 7(clan weapon req) as a F2P. You have to level and sell a TON of weapons. Instead of trying new interesting weapons you get to Grind out old weapons that deal nearly no damage to high level mobs.

     

    So you end up sitting around doing nothing or shooting 5 dmg at mobs while you wait for the others to kill stuff for your XP.

     

    Like i said, right now i got 3 weapons equipped that are all useless and i literally just sit there and hope i get weapon xp. I can use my frame skills to wipe out everything in case i need to save the objective, but that means less weapon xp.

     

    If i where to use a formad weapon, say the hek, It would be strong starting as low as lvl 3 due to Polarity and catalyst.

  6.  You brought up the Lato - I figured that was the example for a Forma'd weapon you wanted to use.

     

      Besides, what is the point? Is there some important reason you need to reach Mastery 11? What purpose does that even really serve you? Don't take this as criticism of your opinion or sarcasm. What do you view as the value of all that extra Mastery?

     

     Right now you would only really Forma a Weapon if you really enjoy the weapon in question. If you intend to use that weapon as a real mainstay and desire the absolute peak performance you could achieve.

     

     For instance - I like to watch a particular player, a gent named Gravefire, livestream really high level defense runs. I've notice that when it is time to shoot at some of the seriously powerful enemies who are level 100+ he seems to prefer going into the fight with a Lex.

     

     Imagine that Lex Forma'd four or five times over. Sure, he'd need to rank the weapon up again each time - but that is enough Mastery slots that he'd be able to ramp up the rank of all the mods on the weapon through the roof. He could reach a point where every single mod on his Lex could be Maxed out in rank - achieving the absolute highest stats from his build - and thus improving his power significantly during those high level defense runs and future content. He could craft the perfect Lex for him.

     

     That is the singular reason to use Forma on a weapon. That is reason enough, in my opinion.

     

    Im a min/maxer

     

    The only reason i want mastery is to unlock the most powerful weapons.

     

    I could not care less about mastery other wise.

     

     

     

    I just think games that force their players to play/use something they dont want is turning it into grind and wont do well for the game.

     

     

    The last time i had to grind a mastery i didn't want was in SWG during the holocron disaster. I grinded like 4 or 5 entire class skills and ended up quitting along with over half the player base.

     

    Another example of silly mastery grind was in RFO where you had to grind out PTs of other weapons to raise your base stats. That game also did not do well.

     

    Just in a general sense of gaming. Forcing players to play an aspect of they game they don't want to play for a prolonged period of time is just a bad idea.

  7. Follow these steps for success.

     

    #1 SOLO

    #2 Bring a fast frame

    #3 Bring a strong potatoed weapon

    #4 Rush past everything and kill the boss.

    #5 If she drops what you want go to exit. If not ABORT

    #6 repeat until you get what you need.

     

    Each run should take about 1-2minutes depending on the map and your gear.

     

     

    Took me about 25 runs to get all parts (~50mins)

  8.  Then the change would be negligible, so what would be the point?

     

     

    huh?

     

    You could forma all of your favorite weapons at least 2x and get a good amount of XP.

     

    Sure it wont eat up the whole mastery grind but it will at least put a dent in it.

     

    And if you want to go bezerk and max forma a weapon you at least get some XP for it.

     

     

     

    *edit not sure where your going with the lato thing? Im using a lato because i never actually leveld it. I sold it very early on so now that im rank 6 its one of the few weapons left that i can buy level and sell.  I would not forma a lato lol.

  9. New generation of gamers? I'm sorry to tell you but i've been playing games for 20 years. Try again.

     

    Grats your part of the new generation while being old? lol? your point?

     

    I got you beat by a few years but my thinking seems quite a bit different from yours :)

  10.  I was surprised Forma'd weapons didn't give Mastery - but I think I can understand a bit of why.

     

     Some items - like my long time standby Braton Vandal - are honestly quite powerful and were quite easy to get to 30. Considering the new slots would make it more and more powerful (potentially) because I'd be able to plug beefier and beefier mods into the weapon at lower ranks it'd really only get simpler to get to 30.

     

     

     The equivalent of eight weapons Mastery experience and it'd only get easier every time. 24000 Mastery XP - just from my Braton Vandal.

     

     A Warframe would be double that.

     

    They could make it so each forma round diminishes the XP.

     

    75% the first time 50% 25% 10% cap.

     

    They could even restrict the frames to 10% or 0%.

     

    Im just tired of watching every one else kill stuff while i sit around with a lvl 5 lato.

  11. I guess i was wrong.. You people like grinding with S#&$ty weapons all day.  WTF i think I'm seriously disconnected with gaming(maybe its the new generation of gamers). Time to quit lol.

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    PS: no you cant have my stuff.

  12. Role playing aside. (experience different weapons... lol)

     

    Mastery is just a silly grind right now. Its a way to force every one to play the limited content they made(yay same weapons with different skins)

     

    I'm literally using the worst weapons i can find right now just cause i know i will sell them at 30. (Boar,Lato,random alert sword)

     

    So i sit around at xini or kappa shooting stuff with a lvl 5 lato doing 10 dmg and adding nothing to the team .(Ok my dethcube still owns i guess)

     

    I would love to forma my Hek or despair but i cant since i have to use S#&$ weapons to get to mastery rank 7. And this will only get worse as DE adds more weapons at higher mastery ranks.

  13. I'm tired of running around with garbage items all day. Id rather forma something i like 10x

     

     

    End game? Play with a full load out of low lvl S#&$ weapons that you sell at rank 30 to keep getting mastery xp.

     

    Fun? Not IMO

     

     

    Pros to add mastery xp to forma resets:

     

    People have to farm(buy) forma.

    People can use the frame/weapon they like = fun

    People progress their frame/weapon + get mastery xp

  14. What do you enjoy in this game that you can't get from triple-A titles? The Parkour. The melee. Which have all been negatively affected by the most recent patch. I might just dust off ME3 at this rate, at least they had a larger selection of guns...

     

    Mirrors edge! Best game ever =]

     

     

    Its just missing the space and lazors and stuff :P

     

     

    If they take out the mobility stuff that i actually use (air slide) then i have no reason to play this game over planetside2.(at least there i have a jet pack or i can drive something instead of walk around)

     

     

     

    From what i can tell in this thread it seems they just crewed over the macro users and maybe a few that where ground sliding super fast.( i still don't know the details of the nerf lol)
