    People tend to have an issue with it when it affects their playstyle, or how they relate to their playstyle by degrees.  If the devs were to take the piecemeal approach, then yes, I can see this causing outrage.

    However, if those things are just a part of the overall rewrite, then those things would be seen in context with the rest much more easily.

    It would make even bigger outrage with how they change everything from the ground up

    Add enemies that expect us to do something else than out damage them

    Which doesn't really make any difference when everyone is dead

    Secondly, missions don't have to be "kill X enemies for short time". It could be something that you cannot just avoid with big enough "gun". Already mentioned Zariman took me 30 minutes to 1 hour. You know why? Exploration. I've been looking for sound tapes and checking all tilesets for secrets. I've once done 1 hour session to find what is that button that does "nothing". There could be even some kind of user generated content.

    We have those on newer places, doesn't guarantee you will go back once you're finished with the exploration unless it's a constant gathering like plumes and duviri side objectives

    To add some more info to just you. That's their problem if they do all 200 nodes per few

    It goes to square one with what you said, "lack of content" that almost every game if not all put gates to prevent it

    Free to play doesn't mean it can stops being a game.

    For having some daily or weekly limits? Try saying that to other online game community if you don't get laughed at, it's either layers of grinding with below 1% drop or gated, even on games requiring $40 per "DLC" to deal with "lack of content"

    No other developer forces me how I should play and consume the game they build

    Try destiny and tell me if they're not dictating you how to play with champion mods, one drop a week, utterly crap drop rate and audio bug that is still not fixed until now and you have to turn off some part of the game as a "fix"

    yeah. it's the player's decision if they wanna binge the game or not. that's the point -- moving more of the control of the pacing into the hands of the player.

    With the mental condition of some Tenno, especially content creator? Not a good idea

    And why is that we beat it in 1 week? Maybe problem is not how fast we beat it but IN LACK OF CONTENT?

    You can put 2 new weapons for every single node on the star chart (roughly 400 weapons) and someone would clear it in one day or two then goes back to complaining "there's nothing to do". We have tons of content already, most games have only a fraction of what Warframe has and usually you don't stray far from that, only twisted a bit such as the amount of player in a team and such.

    Feel free to find a free to play game that offers as much as Warframe while requiring as little time as Warframe to get something because it's more likely to be none

    Well, "balance" is a very relative term.  I'm most certainly not suggesting that we get the power fantasy of mowing through armies taken away here.  Rather, that the things within the game be better balanced with one another to allow for better enemy health/damage scaling, better & smoother player power progression, and more intuitive use of all of them through the systems present without limiting player choice.

    "Better balanced" means buffs and nerfs and a sizeable part of the community is allergic to the word "nerf". Look at AoE nerf where they only touch ammo economy, you get a meltdown with "DE killed AoE" and you expect the "better balance"? Where you have people that want to be challenged but without losing their ability to wipe out hordes of enemies with one button? Feel free to get your wisdom to fulfill that demand from whatever eldritch creature you can meet

    Nah, no need for such here.  The same F2P model used now would be fine - if the game got a ground-up rework as I'm suggesting, it would start generating more money by consequence as more players returned or tried the game again.

    We've all made the joke that Fashionframe is Endgame, but in a way, it's true - we all have the urge to make your character look awesome, and if you're enjoying the experience of playing that much more, you're more likely to cough up extra money for skins.  More players joining and doing this means more revenue for DE, which becomes a positive feedback loop for doing so.

    And I'm not going to say I'll enjoy being balanced when the next thing to come is "challenging" fight with bloated health bar and you can't blow through it like what we have now. Warframe is fun being an overpowered JoJo character, no need to follow other balanced games

    The reason we should hold DE to a higher standard is, if they fix the underlying problems and make their engine more robust / less fragile, then they will be able to realise more of their ambitions for Warframe

    When you said this part first?

    It's true that DE can't fix severe player connectivity issues, or people running WF on potatoes, on their end.

    They put a lot of effort to make the game playable on potatoes and they complain they found bugs DE missed? Sure, DE can simply go "f*ck it" and stop supporting potato PC, mid to high end only so they don't have to have the headache of optimizing for low end. Can they buy the PC for that? That's their problem, not DE anymore

    Simple, DE simply should have a test team to make sure the update has as few bugs as possible! If they had a test team we wouldn't have this kind of disaster every time they release an update!

    Maybe they can stop lower end support for PC such as Intel i5 and lower so they don't have to focus on making Warframe playable on lower end and more focus on testing the game

    The collection of updates on equal time spans given can't be compared to the amount of content that Guerrilla Games produces. As you said, IT'S UNFAIR. 

    Keep in mind that Guerrilla Games has less number of people than Digital Extremes. 360 for GG and 416 for DE

    The quality of Guerrilla Games can't be compared to DE. Again that is unfair. GG is on another category. 

    Look in comparison, DE have to release content on regular basis for free while GG release one time content so you expect DE to be able to hit same quality with GG? Asking for a paid game quality from a free to play online game? Maybe they can if everyone pays $40+ every 3 months

    32,000,000 PS5 sold. 

    Is that a small pool? 

    We have a 32,870,000 total number of warframe players.   

    https://mmo-population.com/r/warframe#:~:text=We estimate the daily player,total player base of 32%2C847%2C976.

    Are you sure of that?  

    32m PS5 and nowhere else while you can get more on Warframe for being not a PS5 exclusive

    False. 

    But you have 60 frames at 4k with Horizon Burning Shores. 

    And how have is the requirement?

    Ps5 is a low end gaming rig. 

    CPU

    x86-64-AMD Ryzen Zen 8 Cores / 16 Threads at 3.5GHz (variable frequency)

    GPU

    Ray Tracing Acceleration
    Up to 2.23 GHz (10.3 TFLOPS)

    GPU Architecture

    AMD Radeon RDNA 2-based graphics engine

    Memory/Interface

    16GB GDDR6/256-bit

    Memory Bandwidth

    448GB/s

    Internal Storage

    Custom 825GB SSD

    That's similar to i7 PC with 16 GB which costed you $2000 before intel i9 release in 2019, dropping the price down by 75% by today's price. PS5 is by no means a low end

    The game enjoyed a free to play period

    Just a demo, not a free to play

    I think Warframe still requires 10+ runs. It's not so uncommon in this game as you may think

    10+ runs where you can finish most in sub 1 minute or up to 20 minutes for rotation C, that's really short considering most will cost you around 10 minutes for one drop (rotation A, longer for more) if not extended with "go from here, reach that place, finish the objective and then go back to where you start and survive for a minute before the extraction is available

    For me i just don t have time for everything, and i m Mr 30 and i still feel it is to much , between weekly sortie, weekly SP circuit, weekly kalh, daily sortie, nightwave,Open rivens, farming prime parts, farming SP to buy froom tenshi. And remember you still need to time to farm resources in duviri to build the incarnon weapons, lets not even talk about the Arcanes u need buy on duviri. XD . No i m not obligated to do everything, i m just divided between doing origin system or duviri, i don t i will never have time to play weekly to do this much is like DE just put 8 carrots in a stick and me has the horse have to decide the 4 carrots i can get weekly even if when only have time to eat 2 XD.

    Just do which one you want. Thankfully stuffs in Warframe don't take too long to finish while other games usually need 10 minutes to clear a run and I'm still bouncing between SketchUp, PUBG mobile, Shadow Fight Arena, Squad Alpha, Second Extinction, Dead Frontier 2 and Warframe at night

    Games shouldn't be a second job.

    So, having things that don't go anywhere is FOMO just because it's limited to 2 a week? I suggest you don't dip your toes to any online game where things are limited and it goes away in a short period where you're expected to do a month of grind in a week or two (and sometimes pay money to get all stuff)

    Oh but they did. 

    Horizon Forbidden West. What you saw there was a simple DLC that took one third of the time in comparison with DEs development time for Duviri. 

    And what did they release during that "one third of the time"? Nothing, while you can put that time frame on any date and you will see DE releasing roughly three updates. That's why you can't really compare the development while one can make it without burdened with releasing content on regular basis

    Warframe is a Cell phone looking game. 

    Horizon Burning shores is a PS5 exclusive looking game. 

    And what's the point of having "ps5 exclusive looking game"? Especially with small player pool like that and are you really going to plant your face just to see the texture? Warframe looks fine enough and doesn't require heavy class rigs just to run minimum requirement and that's what matters for many. It's useless if the game looks pretty when it can only be played by those who can throw thousands to run minimum requirements that might end up not seen when you're focused on gameplay

    Aliens Fire Team elite says hi. 

    Free weekend isn't the same as free to play unless you can prove that you can still play after the free period ends and you wouldn't see any price tag on the game page if it's f2p
