They didn't mention a single word about Dantte in today's devshort. Am I wrong to feel that they're trying to downplay how serious this issue is to so many of us? I'm confused as to why they wouldn't give us a quick update at minimum. Are they all stuck inside their echo chamber telling each other everything is fine?

The last time I felt super excited and in love with the game was back when I first started playing when the Planes of Eidolon released. Since then, my love and interest in the game has declined, and even though it waxes and wanes, I think as time continues, I feel less and less interested in the game and the new frames they add. That was until Dante was released. I instantly purchased his pack, and within the first few minutes of leveling him up, I felt my love for the game ignite again, especially due to loving casters. I was having genuine fun for the first time since I started playing. Now, after all the nerfs, I've actually felt very depressed with the game. I could go back and play my old mains like Ember or Saryn or try to master a frame like Gauss that I haven't played much. But I just don't feel the desire to do that nor to log in for more than a few minutes. I lament the brief moments of happiness I felt with Dante when he was released and just log back off. I felt deeply invigorated with the Dante release, and to have a lot of that taken away has left a permanent scar and a well-learned lesson about Digital Extremes and tying any ounce of my happiness and fun to them. I used to support them without hesitance and now that's changed forever.

I don't want to invalidate your experience but disagree with you. Dante feels powerful at lower levels (non-steel path), but at higher levels and endgame, you can and will lose with or without a Dante in your group.

I've been doing what Steve said, and I've been testing Dante in his current state and I agree with others that they should reduce the range and remove the line-of-sight requirement. It won't be the same, but if they're adamant about nerfing him, this is the best solution other than just reverting him to his original state. I appreciate their apology. I wish it were a bit more formal and direct, but I'll take it. However, I don't think there is anything they can do other than show us through their actions from here on out that we can trust them and the integrity of their future Warframe launches.

I haven't logged in since the initial nerf, and I'm trying my best to stay off the game until they fully revert or make things right. I have been reading through the feedback, and the general consensus of other players is that things still don't feel right. The part that upsets me the most is the lies, and I feel that there is a sense of false advertising. I watched several videos by their content creators who all showed how fun and powerful Dante was, so I made the decision to buy his pack, then I had so much fun I purchased the Tennocon pack to show my support for designing an amazing Warframe. Then I purchased a much larger and more expensive platinum pack, again because I was having more fun than I have in the game for years, and I wanted to show them my support, and I wanted to build Dante and his entire loadout with as much power as possible. When I initially heard what Reb said in the devshort, I felt some anxiety, but I was starting to develop a high level of trust with her and the rest of the devs, so I decided to relax and wait, knowing that they would most likely make small changes after a few weeks have passed. However, things went so far in the other direction that this has eroded most of that trust, and even if they revert or fix things, I won't ever be able to trust them fully again. I'm not saying this to be melodramatic, although I will admit I've been posting strongly worded responses on here and on YT, etc., because I have been very angry. I am saying this because this entire situation was handled so poorly by them that I would only have myself to blame if I continued buying their new Warframe packs on release and poured my platinum, forma, and time into them without waiting to see if DE does any major or even kneejerk nerfs like this ever again. This entire incident erodes the trust between the player base and Digital Extremes and their Warframe content creators.

I will never trust DE devs ever again, especially after what they said in the devshort. You guys REFUSE to listen. Apologize and revert the nerfs or give us our money back.

Even if I continue to play the game I will never buy a new Warframe at launch. I should have learned this lesson a long time ago, so maybe I have only myself to blame. DE and Reb don’t respect us, our time, or our money. I won’t ever forget this.

I bought the Dante pack after waiting and seeing several of Warframe’s sponsored content creator videos so I could make an informed decision. I then bought the Tennocon back and 1k plat because I was having so much fun with him. I used a lot of that plat and my forma on him a few on his Noctua. Now I feel like my time and money are wasted and a joke to Reb and DE. I’m angry and I hate feeling this way over a game that I love but these decisions are the final nail in the coffin for me and my support for DE. So I have a question for Reb and the devs: How should players like me feel when do things like this?

What you guys do to Dante will determine whether I keep playing and supporting this game. He is the reason I came back from a long hiatus, and he alone has reinvigorated my interest in and passion for the game. I've wanted a powerful caster frame for so long that fits the magic or wizard theme, and we finally have this, which makes me beyond happy. I understand I am one player, and you have to make sure my fun doesn't disrupt the fun of others, but I implore you to be very, very careful with how you adjust him because we dedicate our time, money, and heart into this game and especially to new Warframes like Dante, so when you nerf things like this that we purchased and have put our time into, I believe this reflects how DE sees and regards their players. I also watch videos from content creators that you support, which determines whether or not I buy a Warframe or other items; nerfing something that I purchased based on my research and watching your content creators can dissolve some of my trust in you and your content creators and will greatly increase my hesitance to support the game. Thank you for all you do and for creating an amazing and fun Warframe like Dante! :)

After a long hiatus, I decided to play Warframe again and saw all of the cool Halloween things I could buy. So I sign up for a bounty, and a few minutes in, someone leaves/disconnects from the game, and then there is a host migration followed by a second error, which causes the mission to fail and returns me to the multiplayer menu. I tell myself this is just a fluke and to try again. I get into the next bounty mission, and about 5-10 minutes in, the entire scenario happens again. I'm left here wondering what the heck I'm supposed to do. This is not the welcome-back experience I was hoping for, so I just logged off again because I don't like my scarce free time wasted like this. :(
