I agree. This is also really frustrating because for years now I have ran melee health tank builds on Excal and most of my frames. Now since this doenst apply outside of those frames I literally cant play the way i have for years whenever there is a source of over guard present. And they keep adding more and more ways for playing to give over guard. Will you all at DE please consider making it so that over guard generates energy for hunter adrenaline and rage. That or please give us a toggle to opt out of receiving over guard. Im not trying to be dramatic but this is quite literally ruining the game for me and id rather not start dropping from squads that have an over guard frame whenever i see them. I would rather simply not receive the defensive benefit from over guard if it disables my main play style.

Thanks for your reply. Yeah I totally get what you are saying and was thinking about that before making my initial point. I think its totally valid to look at things from the perspective of the randomization being one of, if not, the core aspect of Duviri. If that does end up being the case, to me, it just feels like if there is no way to select what i want from among what i have. That the game design behind Duviri is at odds the the philosophy of the main game in a reductive way instead of an additive way. More so than most other games it really seems like player expression is at the core of warframe. From selecting loadouts and frame to how much emphasis is put on cosmetic choices. So it kinda makes me feel like im being penalized for having a main gear set in a game that seems to heavily encourage and rely on incentivizing players to at first try as many things as possible before focusing in on the gear you like the most and pushing that gear to its absolute limits. And as someone who has been playing the game for 10 years, while I like going off the beaten path from time to time i also have a very solid idea of how i like to play the game the most. And it seems like almost every other game mode is in favor of this. All in all, Like you said, ill also ultimately need to play it first before concluding how I feel about it it just seems like another inevitable situation where an update is released without a small fundamental features that makes the quality of life better, that often times is added in the Echos update anyways. Id just personally not like to wait potentially 6 months for them to add a feature that seems like an easy win, at least in concept. (i cant personally speak to how hard or easy it would be from a technical aspect to allow parts of Duviri to support player choice in gear)

I have been paying close attention to all the reveals as they have been covered by both DE and content creators. It could be that I simply missed it but I have a question that im not sure has been explicitly addressed. Will there be any warframe modes in Duviri where we can simply select the frame we want to play as, in the same way that the standard game has always worked? As someone who has a main that I have always a very much like(as im sure many others have their own as well) i feel a little worried about not having the options to go with the play style I like. Im totally cool with the story only Duviri mode and well as the "true experience" mode forcing randomized warframes. However I feel like it would be reasonable to expect that the warframe only circuit mode would allow you to select the frame you want to use. Is there anyone at DE can speak to this or does anyone else know whether or not this is the case?
