You just keep running in circles and is honestly waste my time. I don't have any need for a broader perspective on how a bug report system works, nor do I need lectures in sympathy when this is about none of this. My core reason for this post is I experience their support team S*CK at just doing plain support things, like keep requesting logs I have already sent, not following up on their promises, and spending a ton of time just getting back with responses. No I'm not a software developer, nor have I ever claimed to be even affiliated with software or programming. My rant also mentions that I think that in general DE as a company delivering the product "warframe" (you may have heard of it) is doing a bad job at fixing bugs. Like mentioned further up in the thread, took them literal years to just get around to fixing sticky corners. And when it comes to "oh they need to make new content to keep the money flowing in" there is literally no evidence that suggests that taking 1 update to just mega fix everything they can wouldn't bring even more money in, BECAUSE THEY HAVE NEVER EVEN TRIED ANYTHING LIKE THAT. It's always just hotfixes and fix whatever requires fixing. I think they are lazy / priorities wrongly in the same way I think the dev team of pokemon scarlet/violet are lazy, in the same way I think the same of all those other gaming companies that rush projects and leave them a buggy mess, which I feel like is direction DE is going. Also just quite the whole "what does realistic mean?" I'm not saying money could summon a unicorn, or create a square circle. At this point I'm not even interested in your answer anymore, it's just nonsensical and a waste of time. Goodnight

Alright, I hear what you are saying but you still haven't answered my question, so I'll ask again. Do you think DE doesn't have the money/time/talent/resources to fix these bugs? If you do think they can fix them, then you have no reason to be here in the first place. I am expressing my dissatisfaction with a service, and how stupid I think it is that they have time to try and launch on IOS before just fixing the bugs that have been going around. Some more harsh than others, and some of these having existed for YEARS and they still haven't done anything about them. Now you might argue: "Oh but they are always fixing bugs" or "but they will get to it eventually" Like I said it has been years. They are barely active in the bug forums they advertise so hard, and I don't care how much they are doing behind the scenes, if they can't communicate with the community, give us anything to know about the many bugs we complain about, then its a bad service they are providing through their support, bug fixing teams and community technical communications. Now if you don't think they have the money/time/talent/resources to fix this, then they are doing an even worse job. If you can put something together, but not fix it when it breaks, and just leave it broken and damaged for the player to pick up, then of course they are going to get annoyed with you. This isn't about needing to understand humans are working on this and "corporations are also people", I get that, and is by no means attacking those working on this, I'm sure they are probably under enough stress with Dante and all already. But Why is there no management, developer, or anything that can listen to the community just enough for them to actually just slow the pace for a bit, ask the community if everyone is happy, and fix whatever issues there might be. I'm angry that DE is going too fast and isn't fixing the holes they are leaving behind. And if complaining here on the forums is the wrong thing to do, then what is the right thing? Has all this basically just been a way for you to say "swearing bad, try using kinder words"? Is it really all because you think I'm too harsh on them? I literally pay their bills as a player, I am within my right to try and communicate my frustrations to them. Now you might say "then give your money somewhere else and go away" Which is just stupid. I am complaining because I love this game and want it to be better, and I want to keep enjoying it, and I will keep playing no matter what, but if I don't complain, I know they will absolutely never get anything fixed. Also yes throwing money at something does fix the problem. I would like for you to propose me one realistic problem that can't directly be fixed as a result of more money.

Like I said, this post isn't about gender politics or representation, but just that I have noticed that in general female frames are stronger. And yes there are great male frames, and they are popular, I'm not arguing that, I'm just saying in terms of meta and viable frames, there are more female frames than male frames. If yall really want a list, I will sort what frames I in my opinion think are equivalent to A tier or above, split between genders. Female above A tier: Saryn, Garuda, Voruna, Mesa, Citrine, Wisp, Khora, Mag, Octavia, Zephyr Male above A tier: Gauss, Kullervo, Volt, Revenant, Rhino Rest of the male frames I'd argue would be lower, while apart from Yareli, it would be hard to argue (at least in my opinion) that any female frame is below a C tier. Where I'd place Loki, Limbo and Chroma in a D tier ish. And it was never an argument about visuals or how they look.

I mean that's a fair argument, I kinda like running absorb and being an immortal terminator, but I can understand why its boring. I don't know why it shouldn't fully armor strip, that's weird, but typically I run her with Nourish as her first, damage buff, activate absorb, put on chaos and just shoot and kill. And if any enemy is too strong, armor strip, and das it. I get eximus' are a problem for some, but most weapons I have used kinda tear through their overguard, then it should be pretty normal from there on. But yea I would put her in the "needs rework / touch up" pile, alongside loki, valkyr, limbo, oberon and caliban.

It's literally nothing about the numbers or math or anything, its about the fact that its not like they are in need of money, they keep expanding, and they can f*cking afford fixing their sh*t. (Are you actually scared DE will go bankrupt if they fix these bugs or what are you trying to argue for? Do you actually think they can't afford it? Why are you fighting against these bugs being fixed? what is your actual purpose here?)

I feel like the correct analogy here would be something like, I argue Ferrari's cars are generally faster than Volkswagen, and I say on a test track they will always drive faster because they have more power, and you say "well they can both drive fast enough to go on a highway". Yes I get what you are saying, but if you can handle level cap, its only easier to handle everyday content. And yes we weren't meant to play level cap, but as said before, if you can handle level cap, you can also handle steel path, and if you can handle steel path, you can also handle normal star chart. If you just needed to be able to complete steel path and nothing more, they wouldn't even need to buff anything, because pretty much any frame with any build can do steel path, because you can always just use weapons anyway. I (sorta) use level cap as a measurement, because as said, their performance there, reflects their performance everywhere else. They can only ever dream to have the power of the prime bust

They on average earn 252.500 USD per employee, they could afford hiring 17% more employees than they had last year. If you can afford to expand on such a rapid rate. You can fix 500 bugs no biggie. Let's assume it takes 100 working ours average to fix a bug. With just fixing the 500 most prominent bugs it would cost 500 bugs * 100 hours * 20 USD (I'm just gonna set that as the average salary) That's 1.000.000 USD. I think its being very generous with the numbers, and since they generate a solid 123.000.000 USD, I don't think its out of their scope to spend 1 million on fixing bugs. (Also so far they have earned 42 million this year, so I don't think it's exactly going to be a bad year, nor like they are on the verge of bankruptcy)

I have like 7 inquiries currently pending over 5 months, It's not like I'm spamming them, relax. They themselves have referred to the support team to get rewards back, if they refer to it, they should keep their end of the bargain. And sure let's just call it "a few" resources, its still not about that. I shouldn't even have to write to them about this, it should work, period. I write to them so the issues can get fixed as the main purpose in mind. No I don't care about a few hundred steel essence, I get that every other day. But it's still insanely frustrating to play hours, and then lose it all because of their bugs or whatever. I provide Logs and everything else so it can be fixed. This isn't about TOS, they should listen to their community and fix their issues, which they barely ever do. I would like for you to go through a 1000 random bug reports on the forums, and find just 5 responses or notes from actual developers or people who can get the issues fixed.

This is absolutely a valid argument and an amazing point. I think you are completely on the nose with why my little conspiracy exists. I agree that maybe if they armor and health scaling it would make male frames perceive more viable instead of just pure kills. I get your argument with most played, though it isn't a reflection of actually strength (not to say revenant prime isn't powerful), it is somewhat an argument to be made nonetheless. And as stated this wasn't to talk about gender politics or representation or anything, I just found it weird how there was this pattern. But thank you for your comment, it was actually a perspective I didn't think about, and was near exactly the kind of thing I was looking for :)

I agree that Yareli yes is in the bottom tier, but I'd take Nyx over loki and inaros any day. She is basically immortal, armor strip, CC and with helminth you can put damage buffs on her too which pretty much rounds her out completely. I would like to discuss further if you have any female frames in mind that you'd consider 'weak', because I can off the top of my head not think of any 1 female frame that couldn't function viably at level 1000 or 2000 (except yareli, maybe with her new augment it will be different but currently i'd agree she is overall weak.)

This doesn't reflect pure strength nor what is actually good. This is a mix of accessibility, fun and popularity. If you were to put these frames against level cap, I can only with my own experience say, the female frames generally perform WAY better, which is also coming from someone who has played near every frame.

Like I have said before, I have only reported to the help desk the issues that directly prevent me from enjoying the game, or getting access to content / resources I have rightfully earned / payed for, and even those issues have gone unresolved. I have seen devs speaking on it before that if you lose rewards you should contact the support team, which themselves when talking to have mentioned they can potentially recover lost rewards, problem just is they haven't recovered any of the many resources I have lost, and they seem to be doing absolutely f*ck all with their own time. They ask for for logs again and again. I take logs, give it to them, just for them to basically ask for it in the next message. They aren't even organised or anything, and they are inefficient as well. With the garuda talon issues, I have paid for a skin, gotten skin for the talons, paid for it, and can't use it. Or all the softlocks, I have spent time getting rewards, and their systems are withholding them for getting what I got, because of their servers or whatever else.

YOOOOOOO WTF I feel like it has the same status as the elevator on fortuna, I have never seen anyone use it or anything, damn You think when they have the money to regularly pump out and develop new content they can't take the time to just make a few things work? And if they don't have the time, just make the time by delaying content or waiting with introducing new.

I have screen recordings of them falling through the actual ground on maps where they can't just wander off a ledge. Also they don't get downed or anything, the mission straight up just instantly ends once they are out of bounds, saying the operative died. And ontop of that, they haven't even been downed once through the entire mission. Didn't know about the button, where is it? In the arsenal with the captura buttons or smth?

You can prolly find a bunch of reddit threads about it. There is an issue for a lot of people where Dirigas arc coil doesn't work, makes the sound and everything but nothing happens, no beam no nothing.
