Forma Exp Bonus

[Psyduckxoxo]

Hello,

I think most of us know how Forma works so I dont have to explain it.
Those of us who want to use multiple Forma on the same weapon know, its a grindfest.
A big one and most importantly an annoying one.
Because if you're already pretty far in the game you suddenly have a Rank 1 weapon you wanna farm and such a weapon is pretty useless at high levels, no? 
I understand that a f2p game needs grind, so the lazy people will buy Affinity Boosters. I think thats pretty fine for like 1 Forma. But if you want like 3 Forma it's more of an unnecessary frustration grind and frustration makes people leave games.
So thats why I think a small Affinity Boost on that weapon per Forma used would help. Something like 15% per Forma.
It really isnt that much. But it will soften the grind up to an acceptable level and you can get the weapons pretty fast again to a useful level.

What do you guys think? To high/low Affinity Boost? Terrible Idea you wanna grind or not even harsh enough?

Let me know! (:

ps: ALL HAIL CORPUS ヽ(*・ω・)ﾉ

i just want forma'd weapons to go by faster. My weapon collection is pretty massive. Like 70 weapons. No xp though that would be broken because then no-one would use the bad guns.

I'd like them to give 1/10 experience everytime you Forma. It's not so much that it makes a difference, but it's a little more rewarding to use Forma.

No, it shouldn't give EXP.  Mastery level is exactly what the name implies, your mastery of a variety of weapons and warframes. It's a way to encourage you to try out every weapon and warframe, and to get profficient with them.  If forma'ing a weapon/frame gave you experience, it would defeat this.

 

That you're able to make your favorite weapon/frame more powerful is the only reward you actually need.  However, what I think DE should do is release "dual forma" BP's or something, thats lets you do two polarities in one forma or something, to slightly speed up thne process.

Ouh seems like there is a small missunderstanding. I mean the weapon experience the weapon gets should be boosted when you use a Forma. Gonna fix it.

[ClaymoreNo47]

oooooooo then hell yes im all for that. I want to go by faster. Jesus its annoying 5 formaing like a dozen weapons.

for the love of god yes please

I think the point is that you can't make your weapon OP very easily.  Otherwise no one would use the lower mastery weapons.

i actually want it to go by faster so that i can specifically use my weak weapons. Most players don't use a weapon if its not being forma'd or leveled because its a waste of time not getting mastery rank elsewhere.

So you mostly agree that there should be something that helps getting forma'd weapons on 30 again faster?

[Aliiias]

Would love to see something like this implemented. It's really a huge pain leveling the same gun over 3+ times. Anything to make it easier I'm all for.

As you put more forma and polarity into your weapon, the faster you can put your strong mods in it.

 

For example, a weapon with no forma has to be at least level 9 in order to put a mod with 9 capacity (assuming no potato)

If you forma the weapon, the weapon only needs to be level 5 in order to put the same mod in.

 

In that sense, your weapon becomes stronger faster, and allows you to innately level up your weapons faster. (More kills with the gun = more exp for the gun)

 

So none of this is really necessary. It's fine as is.
