I generally don't...  As we know the saying "Caveat Emptor" (Let the Buyer beware), there's also "Caveat Subcriptor" (Let the Seller beware).  

As we're trading for a good for premium currency -- the necessary safeguards should be taken into consideration, because the truth is, a lot of games run their terms of service "as is", with a heavy implication of self-protection required to keep the hide on their butt from being stripped off. 

So instead of creating a potential witch hunt for entitlement, you make friends with people in the legal sector (be it a lawyer, judge, pro-counsel) and learn the common sense of trading for goods and services.

[Search Pulses Suggestion - Make them into a Resource]

10 minutes ago, Ace-Bounty-Hunter said:

It's not like the content is going away anytime soon, nor is there any kind of finish line or detriment to falling behind other players. 

DE doesn't have a habit of removing or trivialising content like Blizzard or Bungie does, so you're not really missing out if you put the game down for a while.

I think you missed the point of what @laxximus implies.  The point is he likes the content, but at the same time he might currently have time constraints to deal with it all right now.  Or he's planning when he's going to have time constraints about it.  The point is that DE has been fostering a more lenient (albeit it punishing) method for having to do other things than play the game: staggered extraction.  As Deep Archimedea currently stands it's fostering the issues that come from FOMO by fixing it to an arbitrary number to do every week and then missing out when they have to walk away for that week.  

And the truth of the matter is that, sure!  It's not going away like the bullS#&$tery that Bungie does by having time-constrained special events (Corridors of Time anyone?).  But!  As it stands it's currently in the evaluating period for for both DE and the players community, and some people are here to remind them of the promises and offerings that DE is giving us.

I don't agree. Deep Archimedea is supposed to be a trade off where you sacrifice two of your Netracell runs for a mode with harder difficulty but more rewards. Removing that interaction defeats the whole purpose of it while simultaneously adding pressure to the player to do everything for that weekly lockout.

Not right, not wrong...  My problem you're given 5 a week, but to do Deep Archimedea you need to do 2 pulses regardless.  And while Westerners don't have problems with this number incongruency (as I personally prefer 3, 6, 9 and 11 are good luck for me), Easterners are even deeper into numerological superstitions as you can see here: 

Perhaps understanding the cultural differences should be investigated. 

Post edit...  It just dawned on me..   It's not like we can't do something like this because what the hell am I going to use this any time in the near ever?! 

 

[Limited/Randomized loadout gamemodes are great, but they're antithetical to the inventory limit and crafting timer monetization schemes. What should change:]

1 hour ago, ShardTheDiceGirl said:

- Priority 1: remove inventory slot costs, or increase at least five-fold the amount of inventory slots obtained per purchase. Inventory limits are easily the worst form of monetization in this game, they are fine if your game design encourages "maining" few things, but they are downright disgusting on the level that casinos are when your game design encourages (or even requires) "collectionist" behaviour. This would ideally be all inventory slots, but as long as this design trend continues, it matters most for weapon slots and warframe slots.

- Reduce frame crafting timers to a *total* of 12h, same for weapons. Most people who'd spent platinum to rush would likely still rush with this, but it makes the game far more approachable for those who don't. Prime frames are also already heavily monetized in a variety of ways, the timers on them feel far worse.

- Massively reduce (10min max) or remove forma crafting timer. Formas require farming resources, then relics, then opening the relics and luckily getting the blueprints, it's already enough of a bother that people who have plat are more likely to just buy them. This would be such an important change that even if the resource cost for forma was significantly increased, it'd still be worth it.

You're not discussing the problem, you're using is as an agenda for your personal wants and desires.  This doesn't sound like feedback to the game mode, this feels like a hostage negotiation for what you think should be made better that's not remotely associated to Deep Archimedea. 

You know there's a forum for this,

I don't have a response for this other than the numerous weapons no one talks about, combined with the statistics of the most used weapons and frames. Not all weapons and frames are created equal.

So we're playing the game of last word?  This should be fun.  

And of course they're not.  They're put together based on three tiers (low level (Mercury - Ceres), mid level (Jupiter to Neptune) and high level (Pluto and out)) and damage types and stats often chosen by a spin of the damage wheel with the illusion that it looks logical.  But that's not necessarily true if you know what the hell you're doing like I did with my Harrow and Wise Little Rabbit did so with that Mesa.  You should see what we both can do with the Kestrel (which was originally designed for low level enemies) when we head to Steel Path.

23 minutes ago, DragonManipulator372 said:

In the early days of Warframe, as I've come to understand, the game was far different. The focus was on stealth, because back then, you weren't very strong or durable, so the key was taking enemies out as quickly and stealthily as possible, before they could kill you.

Not quite. 

The problem with early game -- like back in 2013 -- the ammo and energy restores weren't as plentiful back then as they are now.  You could frequently run out of ammo and energy 50% through the mission without the required restores in your gear wheel.

My suggestion: open the floodgates. The state that Warframe is in now, it has become the ultimate power fantasy. We are void blessed kids, given incredible powers to control creatures of pure power themselves, with a whole host of abilities that many would kill to possess. And despite the bumpy road it took us to get here, we're here now.

Honey, this was said by Tactical Potato back during when DE was discussing the changes for weapon damages and physical damage types:

At its core, Warframe is a whole mode game about killing huge amounts of enemies; so let us kill them.  I'm not looking for a long walk on the beach with this #*!%er...  I want to end his existence.  We already have Warframes that can harness of an Anti-Matter drop.  Go Invisible.  Disarm enemies while making them beat ten shades of S#&$e out of each other.  Warframes that dance to a beat while nuking a whole room.  Sound quake enemies as they spawn in.  And a Warframe that can suck targets into a two inch puddle of water and make them drown.  The game is about being over-powered space #*!%ing ninjas.

Go experiment.  Try it out.   Don't listen to content creators cookie cutting out the same tired builds for people incapable of doing algebraic maths and want to laze their way through missions until they're bored and burned out looking for something else to whinge, consume and burn out from like a toddler on a sugar high.

[GI Lighting effects tweaks have far reaching problems on the rest of the Origin System Tile sets]

As reported here: 

It would appear that your lighting effects seem to have problems on other maps.  Case in point when I was running the Invasions yesterday on Jupiter (for the forma Blueprint).  On the Corpus Spaceship Tileset, this is what I was met with for at the beginning of the map: 

and

they're not shadows, it's pure blackness and lack of asset presence.  

While I didn't take a picture (or three) of the Grineer part of the map as we transitioned from Corpus to Grineer Asteroid to Grineer Galleon, on the Galleon tileset, imagine if you can that some of the doors were also this pure black of nothingness with either the green (of a door that can be entered) or yellow (which is couldn't) indicators. 

I was half thinking Falkor should come into the game and warn me of the nothing.

Inaros can now cancel Sandstorm with a Melee attack!

It seems that when you press a combination of melee interaction (E) key on my config and the Sandstorm ability button (2) frequently, you can cause Sandstorm to continue without energy consumption as seen (above).   While it seems to be mostly a visual bug as it doesn't seem to suck enemies into the whirlwind,  you can  infrequently cause enemies that are rushing to you to get thrown around the map while the effect is happening (as though sandstorm is active).   

This happens regardless of whether the player is running with Elemental Sandstorm.  

And so far, the only way to stop the sandstorm is through extraction (either aborting the mission or normal extraction methods).

Melee have been given arcane adaptors because ... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I'm with @xXDragonGodXx on this...  Melee has always been superior to primaries and secondaries and has been this way since Damage 1.0.  

The primary reason why we got melee arcanes and Tennokai was to entice the players from Destiny II, COD, R6S, and so many other games involving shooting enemies to death was to entice the them out of the rut of running & gunning only and using melee beyond the typical hatred and trolling stigma of bringing a knife to a gunfight.  Whether this is truly working remains to be seen (as we don't see the spreadsheets DE sees with builds and outputs, so we can only go based on limited observation).

Again, limited observation based on matchmaking, but I can tell you from my limited observations there's still a butt-load of players still happily running & gunning with nary a knife or sword used by them other than to break open the occasional loot boxes they happen to be standing nearby to.

the answer is definitely more than 1.   

But what's the point.  Lockers open with a single interaction.  Loot Foot lockers are broken open with 1 hit..  But the Sarcophagus?  6 to 8 hits later -- at a standard 1.2K damage -- seems rather excessive for nothing unique in them.

[Semi-Cloak Effect somewhat disappointing -- gives hall of mirrors effect while moving]

While the picture doesn't do it justice, when the invisible effect is set to semi-cloak on Ash, Ivara and Loki there seems to be this hall of mirrors effect while they were moving.  When the Warframe stays still, it goes back to the semi-transparent effect like shown in the arsenal in the orbiter.  

However, I would like to bring to attention the parazon mod: Untraceable.  Another bigger disappointment because this will use the semi-cloak ability on the warframes in question, but as other warframes don't have this -- it goes back to the default effect prior to this add-on to the appearance screen.  

What's the point?  If this is supposed to be visual accessibility feature for players, why do we have it limited to just Ivara, Loki and Ash?  Why did you arbitrarily chose to exclude Octavia for her Metronome?  

If this is supposed to eventually roll out for all warframes, this is really a half-baked testing.  And it's disheartening.
