Things that have the best [DE]sign. 

Alerts obviously left for Nightwave. Nightwave left cause after S1, reworks are probably needed for S2. As for Nitain, there's supposedly a x10 Nitain alert this weekend. 

Won't disagree though, DE did drop the ball here.

The most likely reason seems to be that they hoped Nightwave Season 2 would be out much sooner than the current scenario. They also didn't seem to realise that it'd be such a problem, considering they put up a 48h Gift of the Lotus Alert for 10 Nitain really soon after Season 1 ended. I assume that in the future this problem won't occur as they think up an actual solution for the off-season. Re-adding Nitain Alerts in that time would probably be super easy to do.

Nightwave will return.

Dude, it's been like 4 f--king weeks. At this point I would be happier with the return of alerts than having to wait a ridiculous amount of time for something that is literally the only content that is not repetitive (imo) in Warframe that I can play. Just because it "will return" doesn't mean you should just accept that we're gonna have a nitain, catalyst, reactor, auras, free stuff (i.e. forma bundles and kuva), for nearly or more than a month. This is not the kind of response you should be giving to these questions dude.

Technically DE dont totally remove alerts.

Since NW i have 2 alerts (not lotus gifts) beside ayatan hunts and clem : One for 10 nitain and another for the Hyldrin alternative helmet.

Probably they dont focus on alerts now and work on next NW and others stuffs like melee 3.0.

They want Nightwave to be a feature that is simultaneously active on all platforms at once.

If they didn't want this then they'd have probably gotten s2 out within one-two weeks; instead we get to wait until every console gets it and has it activated (and at this point the console updates are probably waiting for Jovian Concord to be ported).

 

At least at this point this is all I can assume to be the reason. The changes they said they're making seemed minor enough and afaik there hasn't been any announcement of development delays.

But...it will return.

I totally agree with you, even though I have no need for nitain. I like Night wave, but the alerts system is a much quicker way of obtaining nitain (for those that wish it) than night wave. So, I don't know why they don't allow both. I mean that (only) the 4 hourly nitain alerts should run along side nigth wave.

Simple.

Nightwave was the replacement for Alerts and WoSS has run its course (thats what time-limited events do).

All we can do now is wait for NW Season 2.

 

As to what DE is doing right now, they're finishing up Railjack and preparing for Tennocon. So don't expect any more nitain for a while.

Sorry, but that is not good enough, as they have created items that are in need of nitain. If season two wasn't ready, then they should have told us and kept season 1 in place until it was.

It's barely been over 2 weeks since Nightwave's end. I understand though, it's crazy how time can feel much longer when you are waiting on something you need. Luckily they've pumped out the most Gift of the Lotus' I've ever seen with some pretty beefy rewards (10 Nitain for one mission? Yes please!). Still, hopefully season 2 will be out soon.

More than anything else it pisses me off that season 1 ended with me sitting 7500 points away from rank 30. If it had just run for an extra week I could have finished, yet here we are going into week 3 of no Nightwave. That's 3 weeks that Season 1 could have stayed up so people actually had something to do while they were getting season 2 ready, which would be more than enough time for me to finish. DE is clearly aware that people are upset about the delay, since they're running occasional Gift of the Lotus alerts, but I don't want an alternate helmet for Hildryn to tide me over, I don't even have Hildryn! I just want my Wolf armor!

Sorry to double post but how do I get this x10 nitain extract bundle you guys are talking about? That'd be perfect for me right now.

You missed it

it was a 24hour alert last week. You just had to be there...

DE doing things poorly again; I see no reason why it couldn't have been a full Weekly Alert, like Maroo's Treasure Hunts are...

That's a good question, it's difficult to follow their logic on this one.

Should they have replaced the quick alert system that was successful for 6 years - No.

Should they have introduced the nightwave grindy system without asking it's gaming community for feedback before launching it - No.

Should they have made the 15 Acts that are no fun to play for 10 weeks to get around the same rewards, minus key resources - No.

Should they try forcing its gaming community to play stuff they don't like to play - No.

Do you hate mining or conservation missions, well too bad you have to do them over and over again - are you a solo player, well too bad now you have play with your Clan members - are you a newbie, well too bad now you have to do sorties and a ton of other stuff locked off to you on your galaxy map.

I quit playing the game because it was no longer any fun to play due to the replacement of the quick alert system with the grindy nightwave system.

I have said it multiple times they need to bring back the quick alert system - by itself or together with the nightwave system - nightwave needs a huge overhaul to make it fun to play - it should never have been launched in its present state - least of all to stand alone.

I was going off of this post: 

Which says Sunday May 19th, so 18 days now. But when it ended doesn't really matter, we're still left without alerts or their replacement. I was just pointing out that not as much time has passed as many feel like it has. I think a 1 week break is totally fine, maybe even two. But we're just past the two week mark now, and there hasn't been any announcements of when season 2 will begin so I am left to assume it will be several weeks still 😞  

I just hope they'll continue the trend of giving us Gifts of the Lotus on the weekends until season 2 starts. It isn't ideal, but something is better than nothing.
