[Affinity From Orokin Mission Grinding]

Haha, that puts me in my place.  Have to say, i have never come across that mod. 

 

Edit: In looking at the mod/aura the issue would still be present.  Yes Affinity Amp increases the amount of affinity that you gain on a mission but if you have equipped max ranked weapons and frames to survive longer the affinity that you gain is still wasted

[Affinity From Orokin Mission Grinding]

In recent weeks I was grinding the Orokin Derelict survival missions (dammed mutalist) and for the first time felt the game get the repetitive. Don't get me wrong I love the game and how it has evolved over the years but at the end of countless missions, receiving the like of forma blueprints for my troubles, I couldn't help but feel the missions were a bit of a waste of time. It felt like the grinding was taking time away from other parts of the game namely levelling up my weapons /frames.

 

I know that when running the missions I could equip a weapon that i hadn't maxed ranked but if you're aiming for longer mission times it's just not feasible in my eyes. While considering the issue I think there is a solution, an affinity collector.

 

I can see this working in two ways:

 

1. A Gear item -

The collector could be a gear item that has to be constructed once you acquire a blueprint.  To stop newer players levelling unnaturally quick the blueprint will only drop from higher level missions and/or have high construction cost.

 

2. A warframe mod - adds a new option for warframe build and in some cases you will have to choose which mod to swap it for.  Possibly give it a D polarity to make it a bit more challenging.  Again to stop newer players levelling to quickly, make it a rare drop from higher level missions or vaults.

 

If DE wanted to make it really rare they could make it drop from Rare Void Containers.  This could be tied into the lore saying it was a design or item that the Orokin came up with.

 

Questions???

 

How you can collect affinity / experience?

 

Answer: affinity is a physical item in the game i.e the golden orbs that you get from crates therefore something tangible that can be collected.

 

Is this not open to abuse by tenno to level much quicker especially with affinity boosters?

 

Answer: In theory yes.  To combat this i thought that the gear based collector could reduce the amount of affinity collected by at least half counteracting the affinity booster. The mod based collector could start by collecting a low % of affinity which then increases as the mod is levelled up.

 

How would you apply it to weapons and warframes?

 

Answer: in a similar way to formas or orokin reactors/catalysts.

 

I'm sure there will be more questions and issues I did not think of however this is what i have so far.  In theory i think this would help grinding missions for parts feel a little bit more worth while when you don't get that part your looking for but let me know what you think whether it be good, bad or indifferent.

["please Wait" Issue]

Yeah, same problem here.  Goes to "please wait" after clicking the accept button.  Have previously let mine sit for 5 minutes at this screen but still have to restart the game.
