completing a netracell in which you do not collect a reward consumes a search pulse. I feel like this HAS to be an oversight. host migration can screw you out of a run, and this also prevents you from playing netracells with friends that don't have the deep archimedea unlocked/ don't want to do until you have completed your DA missions for the week. Please tie search pulses to mission rewards, NOT mission completion. I would like to be able to help friends without losing out on all mission rewards, because as is the only way for me to play with my friends still working their way to DA is to abort mission just before the vault opens, which sucks :/

if it wasn't for the assassination mission i think i would be enjoying it too honestly

damage cap on boss says otherwise. beyond basic modding there's not much that matters for the boss. its just cookie clicker.

As someone with basically every weapon and frame, 50+ forma lying around, and 30+ potatoes lying around. this is the perfect game mode for me on paper. In reality its meh at best. First 2 missions were just like a normal mission but with a little more gravity since I had to make sure nobody died. I was somewhat enjoying them. but the last mission was hella boring and i don't even know if i wanna do these if the last mission is assassination because its such a drawn out fight. I think its ok for a game mode to be aimed at more seasoned players, but this game mode is for nobody with the way the assassination currently works. -newer players can't pass the gear checks -older players that trashed MR fodder have to waste time rebuilding stuff -older players that invested in everything are not rewarded because damage cap on boss

did it with people from recruiting. had to keep picking up teammates but eventually made it through. by the end i was extremely frustrated not from going down repeatedly, since i only got downed once or twice, but from how boring it was to just endlessly dump magazines into a boss for 10-20 minutes. I find myself asking myself not "am I equipped to beat this game mode" and more "is it worth wasting my time to play a frustrating game mode". its not engaging on a gameplay level because the only thing that matters is uptime. its not engaging on a preparation level because beyond basic modding/gear selection, your damage is capped.

the only challenge i felt was watching my teammates health bars to keep them alive and not just leaving out of boredom. other than that it was like others have said, monotonous. even had a teammate quit because they got bored after we hit phase 2.

for the first 2 missions this week i had fun. I don't think that everyone will. I have around 7k hours in game, so i am under no impression that others will get the enjoyment from this that i had. it was rewarding to have meh weapons that i invested in have a use. All of that went out the window when i got to the assassination. weapons didn't matter, only uptime mattered. very boring, and I imagine its even worse for people who didn't keep every weapon they ever leveled. the hardest part of the mission was not getting pushed off of teammates that i was reviving. it took a mode that felt tailor made to me, a player with investment into everything and turned it into a slog. if players are gonna have to sit through a 10-20 min cookie clicker boss where gear doesn't matter much then the rng loadouts serves no purpose other than to annoy players.

my main complaint is the cookie clicker assassination which takes 10-20 minutes. which would not be so bad if it had mechanics or weak points and wasn't just a bullet sponge boss

cookie clicker boss takes way too long. either add mechanics or remove the damage cap. let players actually fight the boss more effectively than just keeping uptime. assassinate just felt like a massive time waster

10-20 minute bullet sponge boss with no reward for having invested in your arsenal or aiming at week spots (since damage attenuation caps your damage) is the most brain dead gameplay in the game next to AFK interception farming. I felt like i was playing cookie clicker the only benefit to having good gear is to clear ads, during the boss fight. but then you are paradoxically just loosing out on boss damage...

i don't care about the randomized loadouts, but the damage attenuation is ridiculous and just makes it feel like i am playing cookie clicker. there is no reward for aiming or having good builds. the only thing that matters is spamming attacks mindlessly

Strongly disagree. it was an exercise in monotony. giant bullet sponge bosses are not the way to go. i don't want to spend 10-20 minutes wailing on a boss with my only break being to rez a teammate. it was not engaging at all. no real reward for good aim since damage is capped for the whole team. i may as well have been playing cookie clicker.

just what the title says. Tested multiple times on the tier 4 steel path bounty. Fish boy screen says it gives 6000 standing, mission complete screen only gives 4000. pictures below

none of these missions i ran were the event 💀

sounds like you just have a fundamental dislike of the core element of the game mode. warframe is a big game with a lot of modes, not all of them are for you. not all of them are for me either... you can buy incarnons for plat, so you can bypass the whole mode if you want to. otherwise it sounds like a gear problem. just because a mode is unlocked doesn't mean YOU are ready to run it. barring time gates a new player can access most in game content in less than a week of play. that does not mean they are equipped to actually run that content. FYI there are weights to the randomness. there is a higher chance for you to get gear you don't own. so the best way to cut down on repeatedly getting fodder you tossed is to build it again. went to level cap with a player running yarelli and the stug. truly a sight to behold
