Oh well there is some tenno who rank up fast but honestly MR does not really mean anything.

Oh thank god

It's cool bro, I'm well over 1k hours and still only MR 15, since I only get warframes and weapons I actually think I'll get some use out of.

[(XBOX)x ARTaco x]

just means they collect and master equipment efficiently. that's all. 

 

it is a huge bonus since it adds quite a bit to your maximum standing, traces, loadouts, etc. and it also makes your weapons start higher level so you can actually attach mods at r0. that last one is a huge perk. around mr23-ish i noticed i didn't get anxiety anymore when i forma or get a new weapon to rank up lul

Time doesn't really equal MR, he could have an account that was transferred to console (no idea how the time played transfers over) or just had the knowhow from playing on PC prior.

Heck I reached max MR (at the time 28) in under a year on PC just from all the knowhow from my console days.

[FrostedMike]

It's fine, don't worry about it.

What really matters is if you enjoyed your time playing so far. Everyone have their own pase, some slow and some fast and both are fine.

Well MR only shows how many of the weapons and warframes that you have/have used. Being a low MR at that many hours just means that either you played when there was a smaller volume of available items when you got the bulk of your time, or you just prefer to use the items that you already have. I'm an MR 27 with just under 600 in-game hours, but I have been pretty efficient about my affinity (bringing underleveled stuff into missions and almost never having no weapons/warframes waiting to be levelled), so that's how I got MR so fast. Also, my friend that got me into the game had a basically completed dojo.

At the rate that I am going, I will almost definitely reach MR 28 before I have played for one calendar year. But that doesn't mean that I am better at the game than you. I have killed a grand total of 12ish Eidolons and have only done one Kuva siphon mission. Mastering mechanics takes longer than making numbers go up.

TL,DR: MR doesn't say anything about your abilities.

[Wyrmius_Prime]

MR only measures how many rounds of sanctuary onslaught or hydron you have leeched.

[(XBOX)Dunethunder76mx]

Mastery really means how much hydron or helene or akkad you've farmed tbh. Usually I'd say get to MR 16 and be done, that is until more higher mastery weapons are introduced.

Yes, because that's all there is to it. There's no effort put into unlocking all the stuff before hand, right?

That only starts to matter at the high 28-30 ranks, and the more items that get added in to the game, the less it matters to max out all the useless amps, archwing weapons and k-drives. Every patch makes those items less and less mandatory to acquire to reach 30.

Thank you all for the help

You still need to unlock whatever you're leveling. You're not going anywhere near 30 without having all the prime and normal warframes (or close enough), for example.
Sure in time that changes, but so does the goal post. When i started playing, a MR 20 was a pretty high MR person. Now its more middle of the road than anything, in fact it takes more Affinity to go from 20-30 than from 1-20.
And when people start showing up with Legendary Ranks, that'll be the continuation of the same thing. MR matters a bit, because unlike other games where the goalpost is fixed, but the ways to obtain it increase, in warframe they move the goalpost with the new ways of unlocking it. So being at the top of MR does take some effort.
Up to 20, its somewhat easier, yes, but still takes some effort.

i knew someone who was almost finished with sp and had 1.2k hours, but hadn't passed mr13 yet. mr means nothing if you have the skill and knowledge of the game

[Brynslustafir]

I just broke 10,000 hours on steam a couple days ago and I'm only MR29.

[(PSN)Gentleman_Raven_]

Nah.

Go at your own pace.

[Skial]

Mate I've played on and off since this came out and I'm MR. 20. And I only leveled those up recently, I can say that at rank 18 it doesn't really matter at all. I never had to grind ranks to unlock a weapon or anything else really. And remember, MR rank 30 only became relevant like a month ago or something. Just strap on your fav gun and go have fun. 😉

All depends oh how you play and cheese everything in game or if others user real money for play. If you invest any kind of money for play you will progress x10 quicker than others who play totally free. But in the end you can get the same results free or with money.

[(PSN)Apoleon_amarr]

Nah, i reached the 1500 hours being rank 16, it doesnt really matter, but i recommend you to get every single blueprint you can find, then you can get that mastery easily if you ever want to rank up
