    As a NW season 1,2 competed guy, getting the aphremra, and the armor sets just feel like rip off. I like the fact that they are there for people who didn't get them the first time, but people who got them shouldn't feel like when they reach that level, they gets nothing, it's late level 20's and level 30! Kuva 20K? 10K?/NW Crid 100/50?/Vitus 10? would be fine! atlease we don't feel like we got nothing!

    I like getting more of those sweet sweet exclusive mods, (for trade reasons). but these un-trade-able cosmetics  that worth less than 25K Crids. jsut feels like such a waste of effort.

    You know what, I've been an adherent (and, at times, defender) of Nightwave, but I have to admit that I get where you're coming from. (And yes, before anyone comes at me, I know DE said they'd be making previous NW cosmetics/unlockables available relatively soon!)

    NW - for me - is all about incentivising participation in the acts, and you incentivise people by giving them things to look forward to or achieve: having ground out all the NW's to date, I've all the cosmetics, and it feels like a bit of a letdown that people can just go and get them again after I made a massive effort to get them to begin with.

    So, I agree that there could be a better solution for those that already have the cosmetics; it's not that I don't want anybody else to have a shot at getting them, but more that I'd like to have access to Kuva, NW creds, or any other resource so that when I do unlock those (now empty) levels, there's still incentive; it's also like a nod from DE going "hey, you! Player who ground out the first two series and the first intermission! We see you there! We acknowledge you!"

    As such, I don't feel this sentiment is at all entitled; it's more about just receiving some kind of recognition that you actually committed time to a system that was designed to reward you for committing time to it. I don't think expecting to be rewarded is outlandish at all.

    For my part, I will approach this intermission far more casually than I approached Series 1, because I'd already been more casual with Series 2 and managed to unlock everything with time to spare, even though I missed a couple of weeks' worth of acts completely.

    This still isn't explaining the mindset behind your post.
    I will ask again: Did you ever walk into a backery to tell them that you will NOT buy from them but from another backery?
    If you didn't do that, why would you do it on the internet? Because it's anonymous and less embarassing?
    All I see in your OP is "I like D2, I dislike Warframe". It's okay to think that. But why tell everyone about it? Do you believe that your thread is providing helpful feedback? What's the plan here?
    Then again you don't seem like a person with a plan. Just doing some silly stuff for the lulz and that's it.

    I wish you good luck. Have fun in D2. You will be back in 2 months. Maybe even 1 month.

    It's the perfect example of "less is more". When comparing with WF:

    • less classes (compared to frames)
    • less unique (Exotic) weapons and weapon types
    • less game modes
    • less fluff

    /snip

     

    I haven't read most of these comments as they're lengthy, but out of curiosity:

    1) For how long have you been playing Warframe?
    2) For how long have you been playing Destiny 2?
    3) Do you think you'll feel the same way about Destiny 2 after spending as much time with it as Warframe?

    Ultimately, this is not to deny that there are brilliant aspects to either title (I played Destiny, and loved what I played, but couldn't muster up the courage (nor did I feel keen on scrounging together the money, at the time) for Destiny 2. Huge Bungie/Halo fan here!), and I hope that the cross-pollination continues: when I started Warframe, it felt like I was playing the bastard lovechild of Destiny and Diablo (and I liked the Destiny aspect way more) and now Destiny 2's gone free, like Warframe.

    I think both can coexist, and I think new competition in the market - in this regard - is good for both Bungie and DE.

    When free Destiny 2 drops on PSN, I look forward to giving it a shot, but I doubt I'd be keen on dropping money on PSN+ nor any DLC if I have to pay for it. Warframe wins there, hands down, every time.

  4. Look, ultimately, for FTP game to have lasted this long and to not showing any signs of stopping... and evolving along the lines of Empyrean... and to have have broken into the mainstream like this... Damn, if that's not a testament to greatness, I don't know what is.

    And, as with all other things great, there's simply no satisfying everyone. It really comes down to a simple axiom: games are supposed to be fun, and if you're not having fun, nobody is forcing you to play but you.

  5. Really good points you bring up there, and I can't argue re Nitain and potatoes at all; that should definitely be looked at.

    Pity about your kids, but good on you for drawing them into what remains - in my view at least - a great game. Let's also consider, though, that most games do have a lifespan, so it's not unnatural for people to move on to something else or better.

    However, aside from the fluff, as you describe it, the only place you can truly argue that you're forced to play NW is for the credits, and I'm rather confident that even playing casually will net a newcomer enough credits during a NW season to be able to stock up on Nitain and potatoes adequately. Yet, I concede that this is the strongest point of your argument.

    Thankfully DE - at least in my limited experience and time with this game - do take player requests into consideration and adjust where or as needed insofar as - it seems to me - they're able or willing, within reason.

    I think, frankly, that it's the lack of content drops. We haven't had anything big since Fortuna, which was... well, it was a grind-fest for Standing, and a lot of people are sick of that grind. They tossed in some fun, but easy, boss fights since then, and one new game mode (which, admittedly, is surprisingly fun), but on top of that was Nightwave.

    Warframe is, realistically, just one of those games where... once you have allthethings, you don't have a reason to log in. This is why many of us veterans so strongly crave and demand sustainable endgame, but... at this point, we have to accept that it's never gonna happen. This game is meant to be casual chillzone grind, so it's whatever.

    Maybe I'll experience that at some point, but I still, most definitely, do not have allthethings, and it's gonna take some time still!

    Only games I've played this year: Hitman 2 and Warframe, with a dash of Prey in between to play the Mooncrash DLC (that then spurred me on to replay the base game). I don't know if I should feel ashamed, or impressed that between DE and IOI no other devs have ever managed to accomplish this.

    Are you still complaining about Nightwave? About the grind being too demanding for you? Being too time-consuming? Have you reached rank 30, or are you struggling to do so? Do the Zealot spawns and Emissary Derelicts help alleviate that stress some?

    Are there specific Acts that you still just LOATHE ENTIRELY?

    Thank you for this post!

    I just hopped onto the forums real quick to see where everyone was at, and while I've not been visiting for sometime, I find it curious that I've seen fewer and fewer "OMFG I HATE NIGHTWAVE SO MUCH FU DE!!1!" posts, which is great.

    Personally, I got a bit burnt out by Warframe of late - not sure whether it was Nightwave in particular, or just he game in general - so, I started playing less and less. I skipped maybe two or three weeks entirely, and some I skipped plenty of Elite Weekly Acts that just seemed like a boring grind to me. And I still got to level 30 with ease. And you know what? Now that this is done, I'm like "what am I supposed to do in Warframe?" Which is a bit of curse, but on the counterpoint also a blessing, cos it's making me brush off all old goals I have: ones that require more effort, such as making a Note on my phone going "farm this resource/that frame/that relic/this resource/etc. so that I can build this weapon/build that frame/sell for plat and buy that mod/etc." 

    Tl;dr: just as with Nightwave Series 1, complaints around Series 2 were largely unwarranted and stem from entitled gamers that want everything for nothing. (Yes, I'm aware I've just riled a bunch of you up, but go on, change my mind, and prove me wrong with facts: getting to level 30 is piss.)

    >.> DE, I get you want to make it so people play your game longer.

    The "find all 3 caches" were hard enough for me with my ADHD; it's hard to search places moreso than the normal person. Now, you're making apothics a 7k rep? Come on...

    Not only do I have ADHD, I have very limited time to play warframe. Finding all these materials is a nightmare with the sunlight/moonlight mechanic PLUS starting from scratch; getting only one item per scan. That's a bit excessive, don't you think?

    If you're going to make quests part of nightwave, that's fine. But please for the love of god, don't do ones like that. I have enough of a difficult time finding all 3 caches (three times). It took me all of my gaming session last night (3 hours) to find them. I can't do them with clanmates typically because they're busy pursuing their own agenda, and PUGs just want to rush the mission, so I gotta do it on my own.

    My entire gaming session. For 4.5k rep.

    Just skip it, honestly.

    I've been super busy, so I've gone a few weeks without playing seriously and I missed a lotta acts... and I'm still at Rank 25 of this Series, and I'll likely get to 30 without a bother.

    It's getting to a point where some players need to realise that DE can't bend to the will of each and every individuals personal needs or handicaps: it's a game, not work, and if you're not enjoying it you're doing it wrong.

    the nightwave bounty recovery system was a great idea, no doubt about that, but why exactly do we have to finish ALL of one weeks challenges to have access to previous ones we never finished? take this week for example, im not 100% sure ill be able to do the eidolon challenge, but if i dont do it i wont be able to do any of the previous weeks challenges i might have missed

    ive been playing the witcher 3 recently so i ended up missing out on all of last weeks challenges, so ide like to be able to work on those right now, since all i have left for this week are the two elite weeklies, but i wont be able to do any of last weeks until i complete those, why? whats the point? at least make it so you only need to complete half or 75% of a weeks challenges before being able to work on ones from previous weeks that you never finished

     

    Because it's supposed to be... a challenge!?

    As far as I'm concerned, you can catch up on all of the Elite Weekly acts once you complete the current week's Elites. So, there should be plenty of time to catch up when you find some time at a later stage.

    Last week's set of challenges were ludicrously easy to complete; this week's only real difficult one seems to by the Eidolon, so... let's chatting, more playing! 😉 

  11. I've had this issue a number of times: I'd be loading back into the Orbiter after a mission and checking out chat as I wait; someone links an item, mod or whatever, and I open it up but then I can't get back out of that screen; nothing works, not a single button press or anything; just a hard reset.

    Hoping this gets fixed soon as I've only been experiencing it after recent updates.

    Every reference I've seen to "FOMO" describes it in terms of predatory use of a psychological phenomena.  It appears to be:

    Unhealthy

    Not affecting everybody

    Related to addiction

    Causing people to act out of fear of not getting something trivial (you mention this yourself in saying "unrewarding grind")

    To me, this sounds like a problem for a therapist, not the feedback forums.

    If you think so, then you should be recommending feedback for people addicted to the internet, virtually all social media platforms, smartphones, gambling, etc.

    Good luck with that.

    If you think that DE doesn't employ techniques that exploit people's psychological weaknesses to play their F2P game... and actually spend their money on it... you're the one who needs your head checked.

    And honestly, going around saying "people need therapy" just adds to the stigma surrounding mental illness - the plague of our times - and people who need real help. Don't do it.

    This returns to the point I've made in the past:  people experiencing this psychological condition need help, not for the game to change for them.

    My hot take? A comment like this isn't helpful like this because you're talking down to people - you don't know - for having a condition you deem problematic even when you're more than likely unqualified to diagnose such a conditions.

    FOMO is part of Warframe's DNA; it's when the FOMO is to dependent on unrewarding grinding that it becomes a problem, and if DE can address that and maintain challenge and freshness for both newcomers and vets alike (not easy feat, imo) you'll see these complaints become less and less.
