The Non-Prime Equinox Farm Is Stupid, So Lets Change It

[PowerIsPower]

So as most of us know, the equinox grind is absolutely insane right now. Not only do have to basically farm the same warframe TWICE, all of the parts including the day/night bps drop from the same boss making the reward pool incredibly diluted. But I had an idea that I think makes a lot of sense, swap the frames dropped by tyl rigor and vey hek and make which equinox parts you get depend on the current earth day/night cycle. Not only does make a lot of sense mechanically speaking since now the reward pools for equinox won't be so damn diluted, but also thematic sense. Think about it, hydriod is the "creature from the depths" aquatic themed warframe, so why not put him on the planet with submersible missions and such where the boos actually tries to use the ocean against you? it also makes sense for equinox due to the fact that her day/night forms will coinside well with earths day/night cycle, since it's the only planet on the starchart to actually have one. I feel like this would b a welcome and much needed change especially since helminth would require you to have a base version equinox for you to subsume her, and most people don't even bother with the equinox grind because it takes so damn long to do so they get equinox prime anyways.

This is the best solution to the equinox issue. I support this change.

Or just... make it easier. Like... get rid of having to build both day/night halves.

There's practically no point in keeping it that way.

I was lucky.
I played this on the PS4 and farmed Equinox. It took me around 55 missions, against Tyl Regor to get the 8 parts needed. I restarted on the PC and dreaded doing this farm, but got lucky and did it in 16 missions. It's one Warframe that metamorphoses, so really people should only be farming for 3 parts, like all other warframes. I understand, that you have a total of 6 abilities that can be used, courtesy of changing day and night, but then we also have this with other warframes. Off the top of my head Ivara can select multiple arrows. Titania can select multiple debuffs. Grendel can select 3 options once he's consumed an enemy....the list goes on and on.

Bottom line - people should be farming Tyl Regor for systems, neuroptics and chassis, NOT the aforementioned X2 plus a day and night aspects to boot.
