It seems that the developers are running out of ideas of how to continue to upgrade and 'refresh' warframes and the base, original gameplay so they are turning more and more towards things like operators and drifter and op/drifter weapons and mechanics and quests.. even now the Duviri paradox won't even allow you to use your favorite warframes unless rng places them in your mission. This is shameful, if the devs can't figure out how to make WARFRAME fun then why not call it DRIFTER or OPERATOR or HORSE HEAVEN or HEY WE HAVE 50+ WARFRAMES HOW ABOUT YOU USE 3 OF THEM AND YOU DON'T EVEN GET TO CHOOSE.
and please, the 'excuse' that 'not having warframes is part of the story' then stow it, if the devs literally won't allow me to use my favorite warframe for most of the new content then I literally couldn't care less
I want to play WARFRAME, I've spent years enjoying the gameplay with my favorite WARFRAME and now the game is trying to transition into slow, awkward, uninteresting operator/drifter because I'm convinced they don't know what else to do so they're just taking the easy way out and making completely new things to branch out on and then not even let us use our favorite warframes in the new update..
I don't know how else to say it, the whole reason this game works is because players can choose their favorite builds and it's always fast and engaging like WARFRAME has been for years. Having my game f'd up by rng at the most basic level and not letting me choose my warframe is infuriating and insulting. Not to mention you can't even use your warframes in half of the content anyway.. I'll say it once more, I. WANT. TO. PLAY. WARFRAME. I want to use my favorite WARFRAME. This is WARFRAME. I have played for literally 8 years now and one of the most hyped updates of the entirety of the game AND I CAN'T EVEN USE MY FAVORITE W A R F R A M E???????? Duviri paradox is a great update in it's own right, but it is not WARFRAME because I'm not allowed 100% use of my favorite one.
I hope content in the future accounts for the fact that some players expect to play WARFRAME.
