Affinity owo

[GaleSquid]

Lvling doesn't involve experiencing anything 'new' for me at this point. It's just a chore I have to do to make a weapon viable for doing higher level content. Expediting that progress by letting affinity from max rank weapons go to non-max rank weapons makes this less tedious. It also means that I don't end up in groups where actively participating and helping out my teammates is punished by me getting a lower share of the affinity. This isn't as much of a problem during modes with infinite enemies, but it's made esp. apparent with modes that have a set amount of enemies such as with defense waves.

If I'm doing a good job, why should I get less payoff? That's the key question I want answered here. If there's no answer to that question, it means the system is inherently flawed and a change should at least be considered.

The only real way to fix this is to have a weapon not reset to 0 when you put a forma in. Also way easier to implement.

They could move the forma option to the foundry where you combine the two items into one and it has a build time of an hour or something.

This change is really just about fairness and appropriate rewards being given. It's not about the difficulty of lvling stuff, cuz that's already easy, if sometimes time consuming for weapons that need a bit more forma. A full team that's doing an equal amount of the work can lvl stuff to max within one run of akkad very quickly, and I'm pretty sure akkad isn't even meta for lvling anymore.

Yea I'd have to wholeheartedly disagree. I mean why would you want to raise your MR quickly? What's out there that you really need to do? I played a decent amount of Warframe and gained a decent amount of MR. But after MR 16 there's nothing in the game that requires you to gain more. There's so many weapons and frames and even intrinsics from Railjack that allow you to gain MR really fast. You can even skip the crappy weapons.

Still gaining MR too fast is also a bad thing because then you will never appreciate the power growth. To each his/her own.

Getting additional standing caps so levelling Vent Kids takes less hours of my life, for one. Plus the power growth between MRs isn't measured in new weapons, it's measured in "how much pain is this MR fodder going to be to level up alone."

Someone put it best. Don't know who. "Get rid of stealth affinity farming because the stealth part of this game is broken, and increase affinity gains by 2.5 to compensate." No reason to go to ESO unless you have a weapon you like and want to slap 6 forma on that bad boy, which is reasonable, but then I can take some MR fodder off the grill, kill things with it and have a reasonable MR gain.

@GaleSquid i did the same experiment you did as frost and made a thread about it along time ago. the way affinity is gained is in need of a overhaul. people leech because the affinity system favors it. 

alot of the core systems of this game need an overhaul but DE is to busy trying to bring new content (that is usually broken day 1).

Gotta give props to the one dude whos been wrong sine his first reply but keeps going lol.

What's really the point of affinity at this point? To prevent some from putting 10K formas on Vauban in one day instead of one month, probably.
