Is there even a point to make a Necramech?

There is a good chance that the parts are bugged and falling through the floor.

They are, and I can confirm it easily. Tried to do vaults this morning, when a part did drop...there it goes, right through the #*!%ing floor. Not even touching that until it gets fixed.

We will be able to use them in all missions, Its confirmed just now in the devstream

Then they gotta make maps and doorways bigger for it to work like that.

They said they gonna let the environment be the restriction of where you can go with it, I actually find it useful for Solo players

If it coud crouch walk, we could pass by most of those doors.

pure luck

oh and also the exploit they fixed if you used that, a lot of people took advantage just like with the intrinsics

Oh please.. ofc luck. Well I wanted the mech so I farmed it like a madman for 10 hours. Everything have a price. You just want the easy way out for something you are not even sure you want. What a sad story...

I mean...I guess that works. I just don't see a nechramech working in something like say, the grineer Galleon tileset or something close quarters like that.

Here's a question- what's something you can do with the mech and not with any frame?

Switch to it mid-mission.

Imagine you're doing a run with Loki or Saryn, or some other super-fragile frame and then you get to that one difficult part of the mission, or The Wolf shows up mid-mission and makes you regret everything. It's a massive boost to your mid-battle options.

The only other frame that is loosely comparable is Equinox, and that has both less options for switching, and frankly a much worse grind than this.

defensive much? i would prefer you didnt try to stuff words in my mouth, i just stated a simple fact.

[Ketec]

It is cool? Who doesn't like mechs.

[Cybercobra2]

well they just said they will make them work in regular missions and they have the biggest AOE damage output in the game with their exalted grenade launchers so id say there is a healthy point to them.

I dont see the point unless they do a "profit taker" and decide an enemy is only vulnerable to the mech because reasons. 

That's exactly what they will do. Their solution is to implement a way forcing players to do something rather than address why players weren't already doing it.

Amusement? Remember when you did things for fun.

Well fun for me in Warframe = Figuring out frames and building / possibly minmaxing them for high level viability, which is actually the whole point of the right now broken progression system. 

What isn't fun for me: Having game mechanics completely unrelated to the game's core mechanics "just because" and then later on getting forced to use this mechanics for only 1 specific thing in the game = Nechramechs, Amps, Kuva liches. The only thing I'll do those is for Mastery Rank points and nothing else. Not fun, no reason behind playing it for me. Just MR for accomplishment.

You can't say something IS FUN, you can only say that it is fun FOR YOU, subjectively. I like to have fun ye, but it doesn't mean I'm gonna like dumb, pointless mechanics in the game just because they're something different or because it's a good one time thingy.

Everyone has their fun on their own way, but objectively speaking, these mechs could be fun if they weren't just a gimmick to draw in people or if they weren't here in warframe. They are all one bad design choice that's only purpose is to make people want to get them and have their first impressions. But it isn't a long lasting or game mechanic, which an MMO like warframe, or in fact any online game, should aim for.

The inevitable boss that forces you to use them 

[xcrimsonlegendx]

Whats the point of any content? Something to do? Something for fun? Its existence is its "point".

[Zebiko]

They will be used for the boss fights in the next major update. And that faction rep will increase from 3 levels to 5.  I know this based on the last two open worlds and their updates.

So aside from the damaged voidrig part drop rates being practically non-existent currently,

not to brag, but I legit got every part except the Engines tonight. after getting nothing every other vault run I've done, it felt pretty astonishing to get nearly a full Necramech in a couple of tri-vault runs. as for a point to making them, just for fun at the moment, but future content might ask us to use them for something important.

Wouldnt you be able to go operator and then teleport it to you?

Yeah. They are many corner, doors and corridors that are way too small for them, so when they say any missions, i dont see how.

[Methanoid]

there will be a use, if not now then later when it is forced upon us as a pre-req, typically in a future bolt-in or event same as railjack+scarlet spear.

If you find deimos amusing, good for you. I think it's as bad as the other two. Remains to be seen how much DE wants to enforce players "enjoying" their S#&$ty additions if they decide to force it into quests that are outside the open world. But they can't be that stupid, right?

[Kaotyke]

*brings out the edge and paints it black and red*

Why build, when it will someday be destroyed?

Why cling to life, when death is inevitable?

Valid questions, but Warframe is not real life. You can't just project things from one topic to another to close an argument O.o I mean, you can, but it doesn't solve problem.

I think it's worse actually, improved a bit since DE reduced the prices to advance but making the mini games compulsary (I fecking hate conservation) wasn't clever.

The reason I want to build a mech is to go stompy stompy blasty blasty, however, based on what we've seen on Deimos it may well become a requirement for something else later on.

I miss old warframe where we could dip in and out as we saw fit and still get everything.
