I still need to rank up with the Entrati to get the Hentai Wall but I am so tired of Infested World.

Same. I haven't bothered with it much, waited for DE to detach the Fass/Vome cycle from the vaults and in general reduce the grind and irritating little details. Still cannot be arsed without an active resource booster to cut down the time I need to slog around in that moon-sized prolapse. Haven't even bothered getting the necramechs, despite the amount of 40K memes you can squeeze out of those.

What is happening?

Salt everywhere.

Salt from DE giving away Braton Vandal parts as twitch drops to people, who haven't gone through the meat grinder the "proper way" to get them.

Salt from people, who were looking forward to getting free Braton Vandal parts, only to have Twitch/DE/whoever botch the drop.

Salt from market sharks, who just saw the price of certain weapon parts plummet, along with the demand.

Salt from people, who spent a lot of time on the test server as well as giving their feelback, only to see DE disregarding the majority of it and seemingly still can't learn from past mistakes. Voltage had a very good post on it on the latest patch notes thread:

Thank you for the hotfix!

Deimos Arcana has had many bumps in the weeks leading up to release as well as the weeks after. I hope this is a situation of learning and growth as this update showcased many hiccups with the disconnection with actual gameplay.

For starters, let's take a look at some issues with various parts of the update that should be noted.

  • Bonewidow's Exalted Ironbride is underwhelming for the same reason Excalibur's Exalted Blade, Wukong's Iron Staff, Valkyr's Hysteria, and other Warframe Exalted Melee weapons are. This is due to poor modding selection. Mods are most of the fight in this game, and this fundamental oversight is why people want a Jaw Sword Riven for Khora's Whipclaw or to run Condition Overload over Primed Pressure Point. Furor for example gives a measly 10% attack speed to Arch-Melee while normal Melee have Quickening, Primed Fury, and Berserker on top of Warframe Speed buffs. Ironbride has the same base range as the usual Polearm. Polearms have fundamentally more Critical Chance from Blood Rush, more Range from Riven Mods, more attack speed from better attack speed mods, and just have more inherent practicality. The only way to really make Bonewidow even a choice over Voidrig is to make it a rewarding effort to use this melee weapon over any other.
  • While [DE]Rebecca did touch on prerequisite bounties being removed in a coming update, it needs to be noted that this change should have never been required. The change coming is simply what the Profit-Taker has had since day one in 2018. This type of mistake leaves a bad taste in many mouths, and these impressions are lasting. Nightwave suffers from this same mistake as Sortie Seasons proved that scheduled seasons would also run long overdue.
  • The new Theorem and Residual Arcanes are still underwhelming while requiring quite a bit of effort for aquisition.
  • Most of the bounty objectives are similar in gameplay than what we currently have played through for many hours. The Juggernaut objective is infuriating for the same reason the Defection gamemode or the Drone Escort bounty in Plains of Eidolon is. Waiting on AI is always slow. There is a reason people use Wisp in Defection or use Nova/Loki to move a Drone hundreds of meters at a time in the Plains. The problem is the same principle in each example listed.
  • Feedback is often taken into account too late. Please use Dev Workshops and the Test Cluster as a way to get feedback before committing to (potentially negative) ideas, and feedback before launch to iron it out for a smooth release with less major issues. The way Deimos Arcana has released has left many players questioning what the Test Cluster even accomplished with the loads of oversight into content pacing as well as the oversight on how the structure of this update makes a player feel about their time spent. Writing a Dev Workshop while already committed to most of the coming changes doesn't do many favors for developers as shown in the "Why Do We UI Like We UI" Dev Workshops. A great example of this working perfectly is when you guys considered Eximus weak points on a Devstream long ago. Since it was still a thought, when hearing the idea was not good for the game, it was easy to toss it aside without wasted development being put into that mechanic. 

These are just to name a few major things. I hope the end of this year and 2021 will use Deimos Arcana as a point to make the game feel better to play with less bad tastes in the mouths of many players who are quick to stick new content in their hungry Tenno stomachs.

I understand this year was tough on everyone, and now is the holiday season, but please realize how deep the issues are in these major updates that get the negative reception they do. The Old Blood, Empyrean, Scarlet Spear, and Deimos Arcana all have similarities, and they are rooted in the structure of how these updates launch in the (questionable) state they are in on release.

And of course, the american sociopolitical/-cultural discourse is as salty as ever.

I'm slowly gathering bits and trading in Father and Ota tokens.  I can at least get some progress that way, basically passive farming.

I literally had to convince myself that Ordis/Helminth/Space Roombas/Tenno-when-I'm-logged-out take care of all my living things in Orbiter. :)

The idea of the Space Roombas roaming around looking after your pets is honestly the most endearing thing I've heard today, lmao.

Man that Demon's Souls remake has reminded me exactly why I avoid the Soulsborne fanbase like a pox.

Reminds me of this one time a nobody streamer kept invading me when I was playing the remaster of DS1, they were using a full min-max build at low soul levels, so I decided to just run past them to the boss door and eject them from my world. I checked in on the stream and they went on a tirade to the 5 people watching them insulting me for not fighting them.

I kept getting some bad luck on that boss so this happened about 3 more times and each time they got saltier and saltier about me just brushing them off and going about my business running to the boss door.

...Not sure why I'm rambling about Soulsborne, but eh, I've already typed this out, might as well post it.

Anyone else feel bad for the caged birds in their Orbiter? 

I bought one like 2 years ago, put it in my personal quarters and havent been back to that room since. Forgot about that piece of nugget until now. Maybe should check on him when I have all arcanes at full rank (have about 1 at the moment).

I don't like dark souls or any game related to it, ever since 2012 other games are just trying to be like it. The only good thing going for it is that the graphics is pretty good but that`s it, it`s boring and just button mashing. The game I'm into are GOW (old one) Darksiders, Bayonetta, Castlevania LOS. Metal Gear Rising etc. why? coz of the combat, the different combo  combinations, the arial attacks, fast past it`s fun as heck unfortunately they are not making games like that anymore. They need to make more games like them. Just to ask does Godfall have the GOW type of combat?

It's been directly compared to Dark Souls, so...

'Fraid not.

 

I could reccomend Devil May Cry (all of them except 2, and perhaps the reboot) if you've not played it, but given your repertoire I would imagine you already have.
