I was on a hiatus from playing for a little while (after I hit MR30 and maxed out everything available for like the 4th time), and just came back last month. Started cleaning up the updated Railjack stuff, picking up the new Primes, hunting the new Sisters, etc. I put off starting The New War because of the warning that it would take "several hours" and I wouldn't be able to access the regular game during that time. It sounded pretty awful, for someone who just wants to play and collect everything. But eventually all that new content hiding behind the quest called to me, so today I broke down and activated the quest. I know some people like this. I know because I've read their posts. But even they admit that this is not Warframe. The big hint is that YOU ARE NOT USING A WARFRAME. This is some other game I'm being forced to play in order to get back to playing Warframe. Okay, some of the previous quests have felt like that as well. But they were all relatively short, and you could quit them at any time and go back to regular missions. A few hours into The New War, I just don't want to do this anymore. It's not fun. Nothing about it is REMOTELY fun. (And "a few hours" really should have been your first hint. There's no excuse for taking us out of the real game this long.) The movement, which is the best thing about Warframe, is atrocious. For this game, it feels like playing a paraplegic. We can't run properly, or jump, or slide, we can barely move. The "stealth" sections were torturous, but thankfully you can just follow directions online, and the mechanics are fairly forgiving. As for the rest, playing a regular human, with no Warframe, no choice of powers, not even a choice of weapons, is not only boring, but is frustrating and stupid. But I pushed through, because I've been playing this game a long time and I really enjoy the actual game, if I could ever get back to it. And then I got to these "boss fights." And they are TERRIBLE. And I don't want to play anymore. If I could go back to the regular game, I would. But life is too short to throw more hours into this unfun torture-machine they have turned their beautiful game into. Seriously, DE. I see posts of people complaining about this all the way back when The New War released. How have you not fixed this? How many players like me have quit because it's just too long and obnoxious and not fun? I play video games to enjoy myself. I'd love to get back to enjoying myself in Warframe. If you eventually come up with an option to get out of this garbage, I'd gladly take it. Until then, well, it's a damn shame. I'll miss Warframe.
