I gave up on this years ago. Too tedious for me. Glad to see some one doing it.

#1 You farm Kuva for rivens anyway. This is something added on to Kuva farming to make it LESS grindy.
#2 If you're taking hours, you're doing it wrong. Only once have I not gotten my lich killed in more than 2 and only because I needed to go to bed.
#3 You grind missions for items so now there are missions where you grind multiple items at once. If you dont get one, you get something else.
#4 Cracking relics is a thing. Fewer rewards demand a higher price of having to bust em on the kuva fortress. Time gating at it's finest- So I'll give you this one.
#5 creating the lich couldnt be any easier without just letting you walk up to Maroo and buy one. I've only passed up 2 because I didnt want to duplicate just yet.
You're being too myopic. Being MR27 gives me the view that if you just have fun, you get stuff as a bonus for having fun. My first try at soloing Eidolons was a chore. And while part of it was for the grind of Rep and items, the main focus was to do it and have fun. Then take other people with so they can learn it and teach other people how. Yes I whined about the grind of Fortuna. And then once I got thru a lot and started helping others and showing them what I learned, it became less of a chore and more fun. I've getten to the point where I dont rush any game play any more. It becomes a job. And this is my pass time so Im not wanting it to be a chore.-

I'm feeling with you there, especially since the changes aren't very meaningful unless you care about the utmost minmax.
I "sorta" min/max. I do what's meta for me and my playstyle, not THE meta for the game. Im not the best, but I am the best at my style. Hell, I soloed the Orb Mother. Took a while to get there, but I did it... barely. And only once. Too much time and stress to do it more than that. 7 min Eidolon solo(single not triple) first solo and YouTubed it to help people as a training vid. Died once. Still get that sinking feeling that I only have 2 lives left for the day =D. But I do my thing so that I can be the best I can for the team Im in. I dont wanna be "that guy" that has to be rezzed a lot or cant do enough damge to be useful(outside of dragging newbs to level them up- you dont have the mods to be uber, you're not expected to be).
I've loved Warframe since day one. Still do.-

People wanted DE to take some time and focus more on reworking and fixing old content instead of adding new stuff. That's what we're getting. Guess DE can't please everyone.
I dont play a 7 year old game expecting to change everything I spent loads of time on to get it right. Some stuff should remain the same. And much of it due to whining. This game used to be hardcore. Imagine being in a group during a time when you only got 3 deaths PER DAY at MR10 or less, hanging out over a ledge looking at the exit when you're down to your last death with a group that was still going when the NPC level was over 300 begging to leave because you knew that if you died you were done playing for the day. These little whines about frames needing tweaks when that's the Warframe you remember, the Warframe where "get good" had meaning, and then having things changed in a major way making all of that actual work a pointless act of futility, it's upsetting. The game got easy. And I understand the monetary aspect. You make it too hard you make it less viable financially. So some of that had to happen. What Im doing is what I feel is the best way to minimized that aspect. All the returned formas dont make up for time lost and so Im going to wait it out til MR30 is a thing. And MR30 because I have yet to see an indication that a higher MR hasn't been considered(check the number of training stations at the relays). Everyone seems to focus on what appears to be negative instead of looking at the part that says I like Warframe. I dont think anyone likes their time wasted. A boss saying the report has to be redone because of changes, You have to reroute your trip because of changes, etc. But you get paid to work. This is my free time. This is a leisure activity. I dont like it being wasted by doing the same thing over and over. So excuse me if Im a bit miffed at having to redo a warframe or doing it 2 or 3 times. It makes my time wasted and unless Im getting paid to waste my time, I choose to wait for the most of it to blow over so that I dont feel like my play time is wasted.
MMO's do become complete. They get expansions. I personally think that Railjack should have been "an expansion" and that the focus should be on getting the game to MR30 (completion) before creating expansion stuff. I know that's not how things are done and my actions are to minimize the wasted time.-

While I can see your point of "always be beta", I disagree. Base game will be out of beta but then you have expansions. I understand the process. I thought that by saying that I understood that there will always be software updates, would have made that clear. Even single player games, like Skyrim, get updates and "mods" that provide enhancements. What I was referring to is reworks of established and functioning items that make building anything to it's end, an exercise in futility since it will be changed and never end. Somethings need to stay the same. And as I stated in the OP, this is MY position.
Im willing to bet everyone has complained about the rework of the face of windows every time it's changed. Window ME and 8/8.1 especially. This is not any different. You either get used to it, or got to OS or LINUX. You either get used to the changes or you do something different. And until MR30, I've chose to do something different. It's not a dig or a bash. I like Warframe A LOT. In the OP I stated it's the only game of this time I have ever liked. So you can speculate on my lack of awareness or level if disgruntlement all you like. This is the way I feel about it. I know other that feel this way, but not going to get into that. This is about an explanation why Im not currently playing.-

Before I start, I am NOT bashing DE or the game. Im speaking my mind and giving a point of view the devs may not have heard or considered.
Im exhausted by having to rethink frames I was done setting up to be meta for me and my playstyle. Even though I understand maintaining a balance, it still frustrates me. I also understand that with the advent of new programming, hardware and just keeping things fresh, updates and reworks happen. It still doesn't change the gnawing idea that it isnt worth my time to go through all of the leveling, testing and hours of playing to get the frame or weapon to where it's just right for me because, more than likely, they will be reworked. Within 'ME', it kills the desire to play. As I said in the beginning, this is NOT bashing DE or the game. I love the game. It's the only game of this type I have ever enjoyed. And just as a frame of reference, I've been playing PC games since they were text based games.
I also realize Warframe is actually still a Beta and wont be out of Beta until there is MR30. I still plan on playing Warframe, spending money to support the game and having fun with it. But not until the point where I see it as no longer being Beta. To keep from allowing something that I have no control over from causing me anguish, Im just going to wait it out and return after MR30 is possible. Im still logging in almost every day and will continue to do so. I miss the days of games being complete when they enter the market and will just have to be patient for the day when it is complete.
The only reason I posted this is that I have been asked by all of my WF friends in discord and Im getting tired of answering the same question over and over. Now I can just tell them to read the post/link it in the discord channels. Last time, This is NOT bashing DE or the game. This is just an explanation of why Im not currently playing. Take it as negatively as you like but your negative take is wrong.-

The game is becoming a waste of time for me. So....

Aren't we beta-testers? I don't think DE have enough resources to test their updates properly, so we'll be getting buggy updates anyways.
They have the resources. A test server isnt that expensive. Especially when you can rent the space needed.

You have every right to step back from the game, no explanations needed. But you =/= everyone. Many, and I emphasize, many asked for those changes for a good while. Tens of threads with Ember rework suggestions, same for Vauban or even Saryn. Currently I'm seeing an increasing number of Frost change threads too. Same logic for most other content, even if I agree with some of the points of this thread.
And Lord Clem knows I'm thankful for Ember's rework. Easily one of my mains, currently.
Adjusting what was there would have sufficed. This isnt about Ember. This is about the 7 forma and not actually the forma but the time involved in doing that. This was before SO and ESO. Now I have to start over and spend the time to make the adjustment when I could be doing something like... I dont know... actually PLAYING the game instead of grinding that out.
Thousands of people that play this game have jobs and families. They dont have the time to rebuild a frame 17 times. Your myopic view of what I said needs to expand. And if you dont get the connection of those people to the survival of the game, I'll make it plain. Make the game annoying for the people who spend the money and the game wont survive because they will quit playing. Well, It may survive, but not at the level it is currently. -

kind of like the lich system. If you’re REEEing because you are expecting or demanding that DE does a radical complete 100% change to the system to fit your fancy you’re going to get ignored.
Im not asking for anything specific. Im asking them not to waste my time. My time is the issue.

So you somehow started playing a game that is explicitly under development and are complaining when your favorite bits are developed. What lead you to believe your favorite part of the game was sacrosanct?
Where in that did I say "Favorite"? My TIME being wasted is a problem. It makes me not want to play for fear that they will do it again and make MORE time wasted. If I CHOOSE to reforma something, that's on me. But being FORCED to spend the time doing it is what bothers me. I dont build a frame or weapon a certain way only to have them adjust it in a way that makes it pointless. Forma and favorite is NOT the issue. My TIME is the issue. I would rather spend my time after all of my adjustments, playing what I want to play. Not restarting. Passing me 3 forma when I've spent 7 of them is an insult to my TIME. If you're going to change it, give them the number of instant lv 30 tokens it will take to fix it. Otherwise, LEAVE IT ALONE!

I decided to step back from Warframe. Why? Because of changes no one asked for, because of the exponential grind DE has equated to game longevity and DE having allowed the riven mafia to rule the day(because some one has to buy plat to afford those prices)
The one that bugs me most is the idea that grinding = longevity. I have every NES console, PS2-4 and a jacked PC that can do full grafics on any game including VR. Game favorites? Glad you asked. ALL of the Zelda games, ALL of the metroid games, Myst, Riven, BG, IWD, NWN1 and 2(not online) The entire Elderscrolls collection(except online) and even pikmin. Why? Because those were great games. And I still play them. Up to and including Guass, I only needed login weapons to have everything in the game. It was great. No grind. And I still played, still had fun and just enjoyed the game.... because it was a great game. Over the many years I have played, the game has gotten more and more and more grindy. Constant grind is NOT fun. I prefer my purpose to whoop the tough guys. I challenge myself with trying to figure out how to solo everything.
And I dont copy meta builds. I work on what's meta for me. Improve my frame to suit my play style. I make what's meta for me. I have frames that most people stop at 4 forma that have 7. I spend a lot of time making sure that the frame is the best I can do for what I enjoy. Im sick of spending all of my time grinding out the new parts longer than it took before Warframe turned into Grindframe. Grinding, while a needed part of gaming, should NEVER be the focus of longevity. None of my Nintendo NES thru Cube games get updates or new content and I still play them. Cant get online to play Diablo 1 on a windows 98 machine and I still play it.
Better and more interesting content. I've never spent money on this game to avoid the grind. I've spent money on this game because I like it. If I want to avoid the grind for something I want, I take something I've got in inventory and sell it for plat. My $$ is spent on slots, cosmetics, materials for dojo(used to ) etc. I support the game financially because it's good. And I cant do that with the current state of things.
The main issue for me is that it annoys me to work as hard as I do to build meta for me and then have all of that time turned into a meaningless waste. I put a lot of time and effort into keeping my Ember relevant to the game. Whether or not I like the changes means nothing. What Im whining about is the lv to 30, forma, lv to 30, forma, etc etc that has to be repeated because DE decided to make a change. It's not the forma. I have 50 forma and 109 BPs. It's the waste of my time. And wasting my time isnt fun. It's what makes me leave games. It kills the intensive to do anything because I know at some point, DE will do it again.
So, Im taking a break. Im hoping Quality and Content get held up over what squeezes money out. Quality gets more money than forced longevity.-

This part at the beginning of the article .. :
"A couple of days ago, we were invited to check out a 'virtual' (that is to say, remote) demo of Empyrean, the next major expansion coming to Warframe in 2020 that was previously known as Railjack."
Not that I'm surprised, but with the latest hype I was hoping for this week or the next.
Wow.... Amazes me the patience of the player base these days... I mean, a whole 3 weeks of delay. BRUTAL!
You and others like you are the reason that we get bugged out content. You push so hard for new content that they rush things and then we get issues. Seriously... break out the microsoft card games and relax. Push for FINISHED content, not fast content. I prefer quality to quantity. -
Ok... Baro is just baro, look is (or was) [ff

I'm not sure what you meant.
Armor types that don't effect armor?
It might be just my somewhat poor english, but this doesn't make sense to me.
Real life armor. The ceramics in bullet vests dont melt to fire but they do heat up. Translate that to the game and fire always makes the NPCs panic. Maybe not for very long, but you'll see them change their actions just long enough to reload.

considering that over 80% of the nodes on the start chart do not drop anything worth more than 10k credit ... i don't think we need any new planet for the next 10 years
The suggestion was that more nodes = more places relics can drop and thereby thinning out the number of relics per drop table

Heat melts stuff. Heat melts metal for example. Armor is metal so, heat melts armor. Armor is melted then armor is reduced.
I might as well add that just making enemies more vulnerable to fire wouldn't be useful at all. Since their armor will just outscale whatever dmg you do to them. If you melt their armor -as fire should do- then you can deal actual damage.
And also your idea would make an arcane pointless. So good job on that one.
Actually, there are armor types that dont effect the armor but do effect the body inside.
To the OP: Fire already makes enemies panic. If they are panicked, they arent attacking you. Same as AC reduc IMHO. How? Less time they're attacking you means more damage you can do before they do. It's so easy to get multiple damage types on all 3 weapons that you can swap to a different weapon to use that. Cor/blast on primary, viral/rad on secondary and mag/gas on melee. Then then there's CP+ your abilities... Im thinking there's no real reason to change anything. Maybe a better balance of the types but no changes to how they work.
Even with the nerfs that have happened to Ember, she is still my most used. I run her a LOT. It's called adapt and overcome. Instead of changing the game, change your tactics. -
With as many relics as there are, the drop rate seems to be diminishing as a result of there being too many per loot pool. Is it time to creat more nodes on planets or even having a new planet altogether? I understand a new planet or new nodes on existing planets would mean having to re-open the Arbitration. Im good with that. Anything to lighten the loot pools from having 20 items. While I think 10 items is too many, I would be ok with that as a cap. I also realize that an easier solution would be to vault more at a time. Im personally not in favor of more vaulting. It takes long enough to wait on unvaultings as it is. I dont know what would be the best idea, but I feel like something should be looked at.
What say you all?-

I have 5 guitars. And there are SO many styles of electric guitars. Flying V, Hollowbody, Les Paul, etc etc etc. Any consideration toward making skins like that? I would probaly buy all of the ones that look like my actual guitars.

This isn't what I meant to come across, although I understand the how the viewpoint may seem like it. If someone were to come and tell me "scrap Limbo's current kit entirely" I'd be as enthusiastic as you sound in your post. Reminder:
Dont get me wrong. If they improve her at all, I wont be disappointed. It's just that I was able to rework my mod set up so I didnt feel as much pain as most. I just dont want to see them change so much that it's not even the same frame. While Wukong needed that, Ember doesnt. Tweak here, tweak there and she'll be fine. And yeah... Changing Limbo more than shrinking standard bubble size would torque my cork. I think Limbo may be compensating? =D

It's not this mission... it's nearly EVERY mission. Didnt used to be this horrible the room ahead of this is a dead end. I had to go through 3x the map already shown to find the exit and the green dot stayed pointing to the same place thru most of it. This needs serious and immediate attention.

Now that Atlas is getting a Prime, I think it would be best for Atlas to get some love. Atlas isn’t in the best spot and while he’s good, he’s a bit strange. I would like to suggest changes to Atlas to make him more accessible to most other player.
QoL Change 1: Moddable Landslide
Landslide should be able to have its own mod build. Being forced to have a stat stick shouldn’t be a thing anymore considering no other frame needs one. Make Landslide moddable.
QoL Change 2: Make the Rumblers last longer
Wukong has a stronger and smarter clone as his 1st ability. Atlas only has this but worse. Either nerf Wukong’s Celestial Twin or make Rumblers last forever.
QoL Change 3: Taunting Walls
Make the Tectonic Walls taunt enemies like Octavia’s Mallet. Do this and his wall would be a lot better.
These are only some changes that can happen without making Atlas completely broken and still make him better. DE, please make some changes to Atlas. He deserves better.
1 agreed
2 No. Setting up frames is about choices on which abilities to up and which ones you dont. So no.
3 No. You can already block well enough and hide behind it well enough as is.
Does it need help to be more interesting? ABSOLUTELY! I dont play it because it bores me. I dont do support unless it's my turn. And Atlas just isnt "I KEEL YOU!" enough for me. Never been much of a tank, healer or other support type player since I've played so many single player games where you HAVE to be DPS. Make it interesting. Right now, it's just ok. Nothing dazzling. Give the Rumblers a mod like "Guass Speed". That would be HILLARIOUS! -

I was not aware MR30 was a point for end game to start being a focus. I think for now I have accepted it won't exist for some time to come in Warframe, and so seeking challenge elsewhere is fine for me.
And yes, I understand the point of having basic nodes locked behind something like the pain point mentioned in your original post, perhaps quests overall need to be reviewed and things of this nature should not be on the path to unlocking the star chart. It's all very complex and that can be the most off-putting thing. Anyway, with some number crunching on DE's part for when new players are leaving we can only hope they will make some positive changes going forward.
That's not a bad idea but Im not sure they can do it with the Ropalolyst bing a part of the star chart and needing the node unlocked. However, I believe he was able to drop an extractor without the Rop so... could be doable.

Ember is fine. Ember is and always will be my favorite frame. Still my most used. Even non prime is still in my top 10 of most used. The numbers may need to be shifted a bit, but outside of that, Ember is good. The 1, if you have duration is a great blockade on doors. Light em up as they enter.
I've never understood the mentality of Change it" when you can maximize the use of it and go with the idea behind it. I LOVE to use sonicor as my example. Impact weapon that everyone tries to make into something it's not and then walking away calling it garbage. Blast is an impact. Impact mods are nice too. With Impact and blast, I leveled everything in the game except secondaries. 75% of it solo. I've knocked NPCs out of the map with mine WITHOUT a riven. And now that I have a riven for it, it's better than it was before the nerf.
There arent many frames where you cant maximize them for all of their skills in one loadout. Hence A config, B config and C config. Different skills for different mission types. Exterminate is DEFINITELY 4. Defense and mobile defense is 3. Farming for 'stuff' is finding a hidey hole and blocking the door with 1. (2 is an always thing) Instead of having them adapt the frame to you, why not adapt to the frame and it's abilities?
Again... I do just fine with my favorite frame. It doesnt need all of what your talking about. And I dont hate your suggestions. What Im disagreeing with is the point of view that implies that you want the adaptation to happen for you instead of you adapting to the frame.

So, I missed this and now Im starting to understand the issues Im having. Maps with connection issue banners, chat giving error 10054, host migrations at the start of a mission(switches host to another member of the group). All started around the time this was implemented. In the words of Buck Futz Chief engineer for a seattle radio show... Uh oh. Sum tin broke.
Hopefully you'll respond the way he does with "I fizz it".
