[A warning to all Railjack Pilots and DE's non transparent AFK system]

To the people here as assuming that this persons account was suspended because of an automated system.

Do you all honestly believe that a one time flag of "This person is AFK" would result in an account suspension? If that was the case there would be hundreds if not thousands of threads like this. Come on learn to think for yourselves for once in your lives.

This is the important question - why would people believe an unknown person on the Internet and don't trust a shady game developer. Guess it's not without reasoning.

[Momentum in Archwing]

At this point I don't think there is a single person working for DE that has a clue about design and uses his/hers brain.

-old Archwing was drifting for 1km in any direction

-old archwing could blink over entire map (and on top we can place energy pads mid-flight.. terrific)

So what do DE do?

- Break flight controls -no experimental flight

- break any sort of logical flight model and Mass/Acceleration physics

- introduce 3sec delay between blinks, making it completely useless.

 Good job indeed.. and we're speaking of incoming flight combat?!?LoL

I guess no skilled person would apply for a job there anytime soon.

[How much money have you droped on warframe. Come on, be honest...]

25€. That's 20 more than this game deserves.

İm kinda new in this game and the eidolon fight is realy fun.Trying to do 5x3  6x3 in 1 night so i used 4 forma to my itzal to travel faster.And it got nerfed today.Now its useless. Thanks.

Same situation. I'm sick of playing a shopping simulator with timegates and constantly fight with bugs and stupid design decisions.  Enough is enough.

[illegitimate plat problems still at hand.]

They don't lose money if they catch the "illegal plat" and remove it from the game. Asking for real life payment on top is absolutely illegal in 3/4th of countries by any means and pure scam. How much better or worse is in comparison to other F2P casino simulators it's difficult to answer, but a game like GW2 seems like God blessings, compared to this ..game.

[illegitimate plat problems still at hand.]

Why would anyone be asked to pay real life money if its account gets punished (unfair on top)?

Did anyone take that stupid platinum and brought it to real life somehow? Or did DE lose a cup of coffee?

Pretty much this story should mean one thing only - never ever spend money on that shady studio, they don't care of regular customers. F2P should be banned by law the same way as loot boxes, there's nothing for free and most of the time there's nothing good to play there too, apart from gambling.

XMas is only once a year not twice every month.

Yeap. WF is more a shopping-simulation than actual game currently.. Fortunately enough there is r/GameDeals so no complains, no regrets.

[DE, the Lich System is bad and it needs to change.]

Agree with every single word. Terrible decision to push that as almost mandatory content. That is a reason one should not invest money in Betas and MMOs with questionable design concept.
Just the idea that everyone that finished "The War Within" is ready to get swamped by that "content" and do sortie-alike missions under time & rng pressure is ridiculous and demonstrates complete lack of video game design knowledge.

IT. IS. LITERALLY RIGHT UNDER THE PURCHASE BUTTON... 

Keep in mind that most of the money DE makes usually comes from experienced players who usually have completed a good chunk of the game. Not newer ones.

Typically, its: 1. Find item in Market, 2. Click on "BLUEPRINT."

Right, that one is indeed clear. I'm mainly using the Arsenal-> WF/Weapon->Equip path, where it still asks me to agree on purchase for Plat and then carefully select that option on next screen.Not sure where my statement was false here to be honest, but that is irrelevant. On the rest - I'm now sure we're playing a different game (not only due to platform difference) so there is no way we understand each other. Nothing wrong with that, we'll be drawing different pictures of same object (under diffent lightning conditions and view angles of course). For ED's sake let's hope I'm a minority and you are correct ;) 
Have fun and all the best

That was part of the old UI, it's gone now. Of course, most veteran players don't care, many of them still like the old version for whatever reason.

"Pay for a slot and color every 7 days?" What?

"Get 5 platinum after 7 days gameplay"... ...Uhh... I'm a bit confused...

Where is that new UI? When I want a BP I either go via

"Arsenal-Equip- find item for plat-buy-select BP for credits.."
of
"market-same process......"

Is there a third option to find directly BP without having the need to click BUY on a Platinum listed price? Apparently I could find the cash grab options above, but not the one you point to so please help me 😞

 

On "Pay for a slot and color every 7 days?" - it's simple, as a new player I constantly unlock and grind WFs. That is just by following the main and side quest lines.

I have 4 now in Foundry and they need slots.. You can of course argue that one is not supposed to keep all WFs, but at least primes and quest-obtainable are to be kept at all cost, so a new player would have to buy slots regularly until he/she caps the need/WFs/credit card (whatever comes first). 75p for color palettes is even beyond discussion tbh..
Also bear in mind what is the chance for a new player to get platinum on discount. Else we're speaking of full pay2play title price of 50 Euros by first 100h gameplay. Ergo - no free2play from new player's perspective at this stage.

On the "5 plat per 7 days gameplay" topic - You have to think from new person's perspective, not having 1000h grind behind. If I go through my Inventory I have lots of stuff that cost 1-3p each and several that cost up to 10-20. But I need those and will be needing them + more as I progress. It's not feasible to expect and claim that new players can easily make Plat in game by several reasons:
-they need to collect stuff not get rid of it
-they need to know what is the rarity and value of the stuff, before even approaching the Market
-they need to spend way more than they get from RNG at that stage (one Prime WF needs a slot and a potato at least, that could easily cost me 1/2 of Inventory currently).
-Nightmare is NOT new player's content. Same applies for ESO and so on. The places where good loot drops are not easily accessible at the start
and so on. All those are not a problem, just reasons why it's not reasonable to expect new players getting plat easily.

I'm not saying it's impossible, terrible, unbearable. I'm just sharing my impressions. No idea why some comments are toxic and mean, I thought the idea of the thread is to give developers feedback to improve the marketing and polish the stuff. I'm here to read/write/play/learn so obviously I haven't thrown away all entirely and I'm looking for workaround of the issues I face.. but I hope devs aren't following the trend here to call new players/customer "ignorant" and "having no clue", very few game studios can afford that nowadays and even they don't get away easily with that..

[At What Part of The Game Do You Think The Majority of NEW Players Quit The Game?]

I'm a new player (mr7) and have quit 2 times already (with more than 1y pause between comebacks).

- first time I quit after 1st boss. There was simply no storyline to keep my interest while jumping from point to point for easy run&gun gameplay.. or maybe I just expected something like borderlands, idk.

- second time I quit after I saw the in game economy and shop: everything costs incredible amount of platinum and it's overpriced. You have to click "buy" for plat and several pages later carefully select blueprint for ingame credits. Wow, that is illegal shady attempt to trick buyers in most of the countries nowadays. 

-now I'm playing with friends and have some small amount of plat bought with discount code.. the way I see it, I'll leave when it's over. Why? Well, for me Warframe combines all bad of several f2p business models out there: it's a mixture of mobile cash grab game (pay for slot and color every 7 days), Asian MMO (get 5 plat after 7 days gameplay) and Wargaming product (buy WF for 50€). It might have been a good business practice years ago..

[Everything is way too expensive]

As a new player I can only agree with the OP - all stuff is ridiculously overpriced in the ingame store. Yes , premium currency might be obtainable with playing/trading, but there is a thin line between having to spend 100+ € and the need to forget that this is a video game and become a farming bot. Guild wars 2 could be taken as a good example in that sense.. Such prices only leave an impression for a cheap mobile game, made to be a cash grab. That is sending a false signal to new players, in my option.

On top of that we have a shady ingame market, that is asking us to click "buy" for Platinum in order to find well hidden option to get blueprints with credits. It can be probably even seen as illegal shady attempt to misguide the people to pay for something, which is for free..

Don't get me wrong, I would love to support the game, but in all fairness I cannot justify spending 20-50€ on basic  dyes and styles when I'm forced to spend overpriced platinum for slots at the same time. Neither accept it easily to run 100h with blue-pinkish color of WFs.. so it's a magic circle that's leaving a bad taste.

Just my two cents from new player perspective. Warframe might be a great example for f2p business model, but I don't see evidence in my short playtime here (MR7). For me the business model looks like the worst combination between Asian MMOs and a Wargaming product..I sincerely hope I'm wrong, but first impression is already here and..
