  1. Ideally, for me, I wouldn't have to change my loadout every other mission. Feels like I already spend half the game in the modding menu as it is. And I'd be able to do cool stuff with well-balanced status effects without needing to worry about elemental resistances, and not have to rely on a bug to make any off-meta elemental damage remotely viable. Also the whole idea of faction damage mods is instantly defeated by crossfire, factions that just don't have one, or straight up factionless enemies. And often times enemies that are unaffected by faction-specific mods are the biggest threats in the game (Angels, Thrax, Sentient, Archons, Acolytes, exct.). If you're building to deal with these... you're most likely not struggling against anything actually affected by faction damage with the same builds. So why bother? Why would/should I build any of my weapons around this system when it's not even always useable? It's drastically more convenient, fun, and in a lot of cases outright better, to not use these.
  2. Honestly, agree. They should not exist. They're way too restrictive and their existence is basically DE's excuse to not look at how garbage status-only weapons are, because of a bug with faction mods that make status-only builds actually useable. Barring the deletion of faction damage entirely tho... The faction stats should at least not exist on rivens, at all. Whoever made that decision is hands down the worst developer of the game.
  3. Yeah that's not an official video. That's just someone else's screen recordings of in-game cutscenes. Hence the confusion. But yeah that's one of my favorite ephemeras in the game.
  4. It's not easier to buy everything. For one there's a lot in the game you can't buy. But there's also a lot in the game that is just easier or more fulfilling to farm for. The point everyone's been trying to make is, this ain't it. Relics are the most repetitive grind in the game. You're not losing out on anything by admitting you're sick of it and bypassing some bad luck stints with some platinum. It's basically the same system as the belric and rania crystals, just with the extra steps of needing to sell some stuff and interact with other players... in an mmo... You get bad luck, you sell the crap you got that you don't want, you buy the thing you wanted. That's how the system was built and balanced. That is part of the experience of the game. You're not robbing yourself of anything by using the trading system, you're participating in the game as-intended. It's not the game's fault you refuse to do this. It's yours. This is 100% a you problem.
  5. They bought some stuff and it's not showing up across all their linked accounts because of the ridiculous restrictions DE has in place around what items in you account are and aren't available through crossave.
  6. Yeah the restrictions on cross save are disgusting. If it was any other company I'd be shocked they let it release like this. With DE tho I'd be shocked if they ever release a single thing in an acceptable state. Still even for them this sort of stuff is pretty abhorrent. I haven't played it myself but you might find armored core 6 interesting. It's near the top of my list of games to try once I get the money to upgrade my PC. Gives me almost a mix of Warframe, Darksouls, and Nier Automata vibes.
  7. :/ Not everyone's in a 2000+ member clan full of people jonesing to jump on the first person to ask for a relicshare of any kind. Or has a large group of friends that play the game willing to just drop everything to help you farm one stupid prime part. Some people are in tiny clans, or personal clans, and none of their friends are into the game. It's not a difficult thing to wrap your head around. Imagine being an elitist prick about where you go to get a god damn relic share group.
  8. As much as I think OP is being unreasonable.... have you ever tried to get a relicshare group for an off-meta weapon from several prime releases ago? You'd be lucky to sit in recruitment all day and find one person. Use context clues my guy. We were talking about the trading system. And for gods sake the blueprint you want is 15 platinum on the market right now. That's as cheap as a rare part gets. You probably tripped over 50 mods each individually worth more than that along the way. It'd literally be more effort to go make a sandwich.
  9. Yes except they don't spawn until you're right next to them. If you already passed that area and it spawned without you noticing then you can see the blue light form halfway across the map. But 9 times out of 10 I see them spawn in when I'm practically standing on top of them. And if I only ever did archarbor I'd have completed the entire pathos clamp grind 5 times over by now and still not gotten the damn bow.
  10. Then just buy it. You don't have to do it for everything. It's up to you. But there is an rng protection system in place here, and you're not using it. That's all there is to it. If you feel like you've put in more than enough play time to get the thing you were after and you still don't have it, it's tradable, you have the plat to get it, and you're not saving that plat for something else. Just do it. It's not more complicated than that. I get that just paying your way around a problem is frustrating. But if it's pissing you off that much, at some point you have to swallow your pride and just say "I'm not willing to put up with this". The confusing part is you have already, and instead of taking the next logical step down a paved road, you dove head first into a nearby swamp instead. Especially for prime parts tho. Because prime parts are an endless grind. You're not skipping some experience with the game you otherwise won't have a reason to come back to. A new prime will release every 3 months or so, and you'll have the opportunity to do the whole song and dance again, forever, until the game's servers shut down. If it was something like say, skipping Nidus' grind, that would make a little more sense to get this frustrated over.
  11. I'd really prefer drifter combat not be made more difficult personally. I would like for them to continue adding incarnons but if they do the need to add a couple reward choice slots that will randomly roll incarnons that you don't have. The cycle thing is really stupid any infuriating. And they need to make the Cinta bp tradable so enigma puzzles don't just become meaningless to do once you have it. And a clarification on how those damn things spawn.... or a rework on their spawning mechanics entirely so only a set amount spawns and they all always spawn the instant you load into the map instead of you being able to check the same location 20 times and not have it spawn, only for it to spawn there after you kill the worm so you can't get the rewards from it for some reason. Like 99% of my duviri playtime has been circling the map checking every enigma spawn location only for a single new one to spawn each time I do a full round. Absolutely stupid system for what would otherwise have been a fun mechanic.
  12. People get stints of bad luck. That's how rng works. My worst was something like 15 full share squads (so 4x as many relic rolls overall) to get a common part. I don't remember what part it was. But I had similarly bad luck on a rare Saryn part. Nothing about the relic drop rates has changed. you just got some legendarily bad luck. Which you're bound to get a few times if you try to farm every single prime in the game. It's just a matter of time, everyone will get the bad run, and everyone will get the run where they get every single part of an entire prime release first try. Provided they stick with the game, it's just a matter of time before everyone experiences both. It balances out. If you're having luck that bad, guess what, trading is faster. Like someone else said, it's on you if you don't wanna engage in the system that's specifically meant to solve the issue you're complaining about. Now stuff like Cinta, which has a non-tradable blueprint that's suspiciously one of the only things in the game the devs haven't publicized the drop table for.... THAT's some grade-A BS. Is dual ceres prime even like... a good weapon?
  13. As much as I despise that grind... Luck is not challenge, and those two weapons are so bad they're not even really worth thinking about until you've obtained literally everything else in the game. I'm more annoyed with grinds like Aeolak and Cinta... which are actually useable weapons. Grind wasn't really part of the discussion tho.
  14. I for one loved the character segments in new war. Buuuut it did kinda feel like a waste of development time to me. Veso's puzzles were mostly intuitive aside from the boss at the end. I needed to look up that you had to use the shield drone to protect the bomb drone long enough to reach the boss and detonate itself. Intuitive in hindsight. But in the moment I just wasn't getting it, and I tend to be extremely good at puzzles. Kahls segment of the quest was rather short and unobtrusive I thought. Teshins... well all you had to do was pay attention to the on-screen prompts... But I'll grant it was a bit more challenging. I also, personally, love arcwing and railjack. The main reason most people hate them is cus the devs just, refused to expand on them more. Ironically DE taking the "more warframe, less railjack" complainers to heart, resulted in railjack being made worse with the garbage timer side-objectives in corpus railjack, corpus railjack mostly just being a scenic-rout to normal star chart missions, and the complete removal of railjack-only grineer nodes. Necramechs need some serious refinement of their movement, and an actual reason to exist... I did use my voidrig to help in the fight with the fragmented one. But that's a one-off optional challenge boss. I also think Duviri is worse off with the annoying time-guzzling warframe undercroft objectives that just rehash mission types we've all done half a million times, than it would be without them. Love the maps, but every time defense, excavation, or survival pops up I wanna swan-dive off the side of the island. So, some people hate this stuff. Some people love it. Can't please everyone. Side note: You can get banned for swearing like that. Even tho the site auto-censors it. Even censored swearing is against the community guidelines, and if someone decided to report you you'd get a strike for it. I know because it's happened to me. So, as stupid as I think that rule is, cool it with that. For your own sanity. I have this permanent infuriating "inappropriate language" strike on the side of my profile that pisses me off every time I look at it. I was hoping it'd just disappear when the strike expired but it doesn't. It just sits there taunting me about that infuriatingly arbitrary and hypocritical rule, and how some jaded prick reported me for it cus they disagreed with what I was saying. Probably because they had the same thing happen to them.
  15. If that were the case that would be an absolute disaster. Player trading is too important to the entire economy of the game. If people didn't trust it that would cause some serious problems. And if it was possible, it would happen a lot, and the forums would be absolutely flooded with complaints about it. As others said they were probably just being kind. Even items that are genuinely valuable some people just don't care about gifting around. I've gone off and bought new player's slots a few times just cus I felt generous and had a lot of plat on hand in the moment, cus I know slots are one of if not the most agonizing part of the game for new players. The longer you've been playing the game, the less valuable stuff like this is to you. The person probably just had like 10 of them sitting in their inventory collecting dust. Probably collected while farming Forma or something. They might even have a specific way of farming platinum that doesn't involve prime parts, or they frequently buy prime access and/or platinum packs so don't need to farm platinum at all, so the prime parts they do have don't even register to them as worth selling. There's a lot of reasons someone would have just done that altruistically.
