[Your Stance On Melee?(Discussion?)]

I really like melee as-is, except that I think there's too much focus on combo.  Part of why melee seems like the only game in town is that switching to use ranged weapons means dropping your combo, which means losing your Blood Rush bonus that you probably have on most of your high-damage builds.  I don't think that pressuring the player to just keep using melee is a good design decision.  I would rather players be encouraged to mix it up.  I actually think that if they got rid of combo, melee would be in a pretty good spot.

I also think that the attack speed bonuses need to be toned down, but it sounds like this is a planned part of the upcoming re-balance.

I'm with you and I think the devs are too. Don't be surprised if they create a universal combo system.

First off, i must admit, WF has ruined movement in every other game for me. The fluidity of movement in WF is just unmatched, truly.

Now, on to the bad things. I cant help myself but be so disappointed by how much WF is lacking in comparison to Destiny 2. I accidentally started out by running dungeons (the equivalent of that in Destiny 2 at least) and O.M.F.G. At least 5-6 different 20-minute expeditions with voice narration and differentiation in areas. And as ive read more, this is just the tip of the iceberg! There is a HUGE amount of original content in the game comparable more to an mmo (and probably a well polished one) than a shooter.

Then i continued to the "main quest line" and the open world... Just amazed. So many different things happening all at once, people running around, public events, quests and side quests all happening at the same time.

The game features PvP and PvPvE but honestly im not even comparing this because i believe PvP is hard to implement in WF.

What strikes me though as such an unfair deal we're getting with WF is the true lack of content. Every 3 months DE offers a 45-125 euro pack for 5 cosmetic items (accessories and a prime wf thats basically the same wf with a bit of an upgrade in stats and better looks). Truly disappointing. 

DE will say that they want to keep all real content free. I respect that to some extend but there could be a compromise. Make the frame obtainable in game, but the cosmetics obtainable through a quest that you gotta pay real money (or plat maybe?) to unlock. This will make people that do enjoy the game probably more keen on actually buying the packs. Or actually create some original content, raids, dungeons, timed events that need something more than plain zombie-mode grinding, PvEvP, anything for crying out loud! 

Liches are a lovely addition as a concept, yet just a more spongy enemy to put bullets in. Empyrian, albeit a new game mode, yet with a lackluster execution. Fortuna, copy of PoE with snow. The best actual content WF offered were Eidolons! An amazing boss fight, with skill, team effort and gear required to complete within a time frame to get the maximum loot! And that was 3 years ago!

I believe all my words are a lost cause, DE had 7 years now to provide us with actual content and they never did, it just pains me to see a game that ive spent more than 2k hours in, just stay stagnant and not achieve its full potential even after all those years.

Those were my 50 cents. Thank you for reading this far.

OP, what you experienced was simply playing another great game for the first time. There are a ton of Destiny players who have experienced the opposite and both are normal and okay. 

What I'm surprised at is how you would suddenly place your over 2k hours of playtime into a singular focus of how far a game has developed. You enjoyed your 2k hours...otherwise there exists a deep problem. If you truly enjoyed even half of those 2k hours then DE did their job 10 fold. Therefore, I'd love to hear from you after 2k hours of Destiny 2 without playing Warframe. That will be a truly interesting feedback post.

Silly you! DE only wants you using snipers for this fight! No other guns allowed! I had a 12K radiation Hek with the special mod and all. I shot the Teralyst point blank in the knee... Was like 92 damage per pellet. Isn't that wonderful!? You get to use a sniper with Hildryn! Yay!

Oh and it's more than just AoE weapons. Before having the MR to wield a Rubico Prime (or even an understanding of why!), I tried a lot of high base stat damage weapons. None of them worked very well! I am convinced DE only wants you using snipers for this fight.

Just like EVERY OTHER SHOOTER GAME MADE, sniper rifles (most) are the most powerful single shot weapons that can be modded heavily with radiation, multishot, insanely high crit dmg and crit chance. The crit multiplier for that single shot is what makes it meta. Most other weapons are just fine and can do the job but, if OPTIMAL EFFICIENCY is the goal then snipers like the rubico prime, lanka and vectis prime are the answer.

I like how at start they told like "Season will be around 5 weeks with a smal Intermissions (1-2 weeks) between them" and now we have sh*t like 5 month Intermissions and forever seasons...=) Nice, nice. 

That was our fault as players.

People complained about not having enough time to earn the rewards. DE then extended the time intervals.

People complained about the points being too low as well as having too many tasks to do per week. DE, therefore, reduced the task list, durations of tasks and increased point values.

People then vets started complaining about the lack of "meaningful" rewards while others complained about "not enough variety" of rewards. DE, once again, obliged and offered special mods, rotations per week and even tossed in a good lore story for good measure.

And now, people are complaining about...stupid stuff. This forum is proof that we ask for and receive too much and yet there will never be enough. In fact, I think the ONLY real area that DE always gets hit the hardest is when they listen to the whining that's disguised as "constructive criticism". Knock it off guys. 2020 is already hard enough without the pointless complaining.
