They always tell us when a season ends 2 weeks in advance (that's DE's stated policy). 2 weeks was never going to be enough to catch up in standing - so it was clear that you needed to prepare well before they announced the end date. How far in advance? That's up to each player's individual judgement. You seem to have misjudged.

Maybe. Or maybe you are. We will never know for sure unless DE announces official stats about this season. If they do - it'll be interesting to have a look at them.

Actually, there are plenty of reasons to set a cap you don't expect people to reach. In software engineering, it is much easier to manage a data structure if you know exactly what range each of the values is going to be in. It's a similar reason to why a lot of games limit the maximum length of a user's name: to make the data structure it is stored in much more predictable in size.

One could argue that an example of the occurrence makes the possibility more than "strictly theoretical". And the idea of "reasonable" is pretty subjective and can be disagreed on. Since we are talking about the reasonableness of time spent farming the standing, it is completely valid to disagree on both how that time is distributed (November to January or May to January) and the optimal farming method (long missions, short missions, or some combination of both).

If reaching the cap is not expected, then farming fissures becomes an unnecessary extra that some people choose to put on themselves. Then the farm being unpleasant is irrelevant to the success/failure of the system.

You can't say if reach the cap is expected or not, DE needs to say that, my best guess is DE just never even tried making it "possible" or "not possible", they just increased it so no people would have complained about reaching it too soon, but now it's the exact opposite situation, like I said a mid ground would've been perfect, so everyone would be happy now

And if you may be somehow against that idea, it's your problem (a non existent one but you get the point)

The absolute ending date is given to allow time to spend, rather than time to finish. And that's.. the recent announcement, not November's. It was never 'clear' how much grinding would be required, and the fact remains that grinding is implicitly unreliable and therefore should not be considered as expected in any way, shape or form.

The fact it's influenced heavily on happenstance and differing playstyles, despite actual mission time investment, already states that anything past task-driven standing is strictly anecdotal. And you even admitted to degenerative Steel Path farming, didn't you?

None of this states why the cap wouldn't be a reachable figure.

The standing value is already an unsigned int at least, and even assuming rank value is stored not derived, that minimally comes with a 255 limit in singular byte. 180 doesn't approach or divide into anything relevant, bitwise.

A field-length cap also generally allows you to utilise it. Even if it's storing strings with doubled length for the sake of Unicode accessibility since some 'characters' are double-wide, that's still allowing you to potentially use those characters to fill it out.

Since we are talking about the reasonableness of time spent farming the standing, it is completely valid to disagree on both how that time is distributed (November to January or May to January) and the optimal farming method (long missions, short missions, or some combination of both).

It's still theoretical. Your 'example' doesn't mean anything more here than if you were the lucky turd who gets a legendary Arcane each and every time they run Eidolons. Reasonable expectation there exists somewhere within the standard deviations of the distribution, not on the leading fat tail. You did a nonstandard activity and/or had great circumstantial luck on when you happened to extract from missions, putting you on the extreme high end or the vague scatter-plot of unreliable glass enemy kills.

You can't disagree on the time distribution, because the cap wasn't stated that early on, and all precedent evidence gave no reason to believe that doing every task every day would be insufficient (considering the cap had to be extended multiple times). November is the absolute maximum timeframe as that is when the current cap was instantiated.

It's arguable whether it's the November cap-raise or the recent announcement which should declare reasonable timeframe of seeking the goal, but in either case, it's a greater or lesser extent of still being unreasonable.

Quote

If reaching the cap is not expected, then farming fissures becomes an unnecessary extra that some people choose to put on themselves. Then the farm being unpleasant is irrelevant to the success/failure of the system.

But the cap is expected. Not for everyone to reach, but to be realistically accessible to those who engage heavily with the system. Claiming otherwise is simply fallacy. "It is unrealistically accessible, therefore it is intended not to be reached" obviated the very real possibility that DE just threw it out there haphazardly and didn't realise it wasn't a sensible amount based on the possible task-driven standing we now know is available.

 

If the prestige cap was meant to remain irrelevant to actual accessibility, DE would at least set it so arbitrarily high from the start that nobody would expect to get there. Making it reachable and sequentially extending it with prolonging of seasonal task count confirms the intention to be a consistent accessibility which encourages tasks throughout.

And gg you again skipped some things i said in the same comment, keep comment only things that make you look still in the right!

What exactly did you want me to reply to in that comment? If you insist, let us go through it line-by line:

Yeah but never by just doing non-endless missions

All we have is a snapshot of his activity over a couple of days. Yes, he did both endless and non-endless missions - what does that prove? That snapshot was taken during the "research" phase, not the "using the results to farm" phase, why do you think that the "using the results to farm" phase would contain the same mission distribution?

I also manage to get them spawning in open worlds very accurately even before I found that post.

ok. So you can predict the spawns in open worlds. That doesn't mean you can't predict them in normal missions.

Yeah like I said you wanna prove all stuff wrong but when it's needed provide a hour proof worth of data, hell no you will do it.

I am so gentle i will do 2 hours of both type of runs to convince all of you sceptic ones.

At this point, this research would bring exactly zero value to me, so why would you expect me to spend hours of my time performing it? And then running back to you to show you my results (incl. the screenshots that you are demanding)?

You are the one advocating for change, so the burden of proof is on you!

All valid points, but you are ultimately relying on the assumption that "reaching the cap" is the expected outcome. as you know, I've been arguing against exactly that assertion.

1 hour ago, TheLexiConArtist said:

No, I admitted to farming enough SE to get the operator suit and the two Ephemeras. In practical terms, that turned into 6-7 survival runs of 2-3 hours each. Over the course of 8 months, this is statistically insignificant. I also farmed a lot of railjack, but mostly making sure my ship never gets boarded (hence minimising the number of glassed enemies I encountered).

None of it states the cap would be a reachable value either. It states that some cap needed to be set. And setting it to 255 would be odd for Warframe: everything in Warframe seems to want to be divisible by 30 (with some exceptions).

But every time a NW cap was reached by lots of people and that fact was reported on a DE stream, whoever was running the stream would always look really surprised to hear that. Furthermore, if DE were planning for people to reach the cap en masse, they would have been increasing it during the last big update before the fact, not haphazardly looking around for a good time to do so after the cap has been reached.

None of this is concrete proof, but it does lead me to believe that "players reaching the cap en masse" was never an intended situation.

I suspect they thought they did: in season 1, nobody knew how much standing most players would grind for. So they though "let's give them TWICE as many ranks as we give prizes for" (i.e. 30 prestige ranks). That sort of worked, so the left it as is for season 2. Then Intermission 2 got away from them and when the cap was reached, they thought "OK, let's throw them another 30! That should be enough, shouldn't it?". And then Season 3 happened...

That's the thing: we don't really have a clue as to what the true distribution is! You have your anecdotal evidence, I have mine. But neither of us truly knows what the distribution is! Therefore our assertions as to what is and is not reasonable are effectively just subjective guesses!

And again, if reaching the cap was not the expected outcome - this too becomes irrelevant!

No all the data that confirms how much hours had to be spent if the glass fissures spawn were consistent and the data that right after confirms that it isn't 

Meaning the whole system revealed to be more tedious than it should just 'cause DE didn't some math before adding that last standing cap. 

That survey is still running, do you know how a survey works? It can still show some other people in the same average situation like me and the other 2 and the more people will appear there confirming this, the more you will learn you lost this argument, so let's reconsider that survey in the future not now that is useless to both our points! 

A 3 hour run is not enough data? Having a guy expert in those timers confirming they put a random value in it and all the examples showing how stupid this farm would have been if someone tried doing it on purpose are all STILL valid.

You are the child that doesn't want accept those, i did my job and i did it really good.

And why in 5 years playing as a completionist this is the first time this is happening? I did a bad job just now after all this time? You don't get this at all that's the thing i understood from all your comments. 

You just have that higher rank, and the will to want debunk everything said here without any opposite data and proofs that may prove this farm isn't insane and badly thought and executed. It created a random disparity with players who will be able buy more stuff from nova than others that played the same amount of time. This is not OK.

"more tedious than it should" is a very subjective measurement. It would be good to quantify it in objective terms - otherwise it's just an unsubstantiated opinion. And the last part of your statement hinges on your assumptions about DE's intentions for the reachability of the cap - which is still under question.

As discussed above, that spreadsheet does not actually say what you are claiming it says. What that spreadsheet actually confirms is that you can predict the fissure timing to withing a 5 minute time slot (with fair reliability). This alone goes against a lot of the things you've been claiming (e.g. that means you can farm the fissures in non-endless mission as long as you make sure the missions cover the predicted 5 minute time slot)

Randomness? In Warframe? Who would have thought!

In all seriousness, that's the nature of the game! Last time I had to run 15 radshares to get the rare part out of a relic, I didn't go cry about it on the forums - I just had a laugh at it and continued farming relics. Because that's the nature of the game! Sometimes RNG is your friend, sometimes it isn't. If you can't accept that - games like Warframe are not for you.

It seems that I did the amount of work I needed to do - since I'm about to reach the cap (even though I never set that as a goal - you did). Or are you under the impression that the goal was to suffer the grind, not to get the standing?

And don't give me that "luck" nonsense - 8 months is long enough for the Strong Law of Large Numbers to kick in, negating most luck-based variance.

Yet the spreadsheet shows that (with a bit of calibration) you can predict the timetable for all the fissure over the next few days with reasonable accuracy.

This model may not be good enough for a timer you'd put on a website (it may require periodic manual re-calibration), but it is absolutely good enough to use in one's personal farming.

Have not seen the data from your own run (you don't seem to be too keen on presenting it), but the spreadsheet you did present suggests that you can semi-passively farm that standing while doing other things (with very minor adjustments). Actually, it states that you can efficiently gain NW standing while doing anything in-game except kuva survivals or the arenas - as long as you are willing to occasionally wait a couple minutes before starting the mission.

What other resource/item in Warframe can you efficiently farm while doing almost any in-game activity of your choosing?

Nothing in this world is perfect, and there will always be someone who is unhappy with the outcome. If said portion only consists of 2 (or even 3) players - then this portion is statistically insignificant and should be ignored. Because if you start making changes whenever 2 players (out of many thousands) cry about something, you will most surely drive the game into the gutter.

Nonono...

I went in orb vallis, and grabbed the timer he made based on those data (open this Nightwave Challenges - Semlar.com) and possible fluctuations, I went 5 minutes before it reaches 0 and stayed for other 10 minutes, got 0 glass detected fissures...

I wish it could've been so easy, only consistent way is to stay for hours in orb vallis/open world maps, but first spawn can happen in 1 minute or a lot more than 25 unfortunally.

And my point still remains why did they made this system like that this time?!

Can you imagine if they did something like that for something more important like idk:
for example getting a specific relic era mission; not always be able to do an axi mission for 25 minutes after last one appeared and you can't even predict exactly when next would pop up? Community would have been going crazy about it! Now just because it's happening for something a lot less "important" (even if it still counts for completionists), people who not really care about it, can't just say it's well done and logic, and fine just like that.

And you can't neglect this, people complained about farmings a lot easier and fair than this one, but they still reported it and DE sometimes even made it simpler for them, even if it wasn't that bad for me and wasn't a farm that "important" anyway.

You clearly dont get the system. It is based on the real life clock. A spawn can fluctuate between 22 - 26 minutes and at rare occasions it skips a rotation, pushing it to 44 - 56 minutes. You cant go in and wait for the timer to hit zero and then wait for another 10 minutes, since that just means you got a skip rotation and 10 minutes is never a widow of time that it can spawn in after a previous spawn or a skip. So you should have waited 26 minutes in that mission after you saw it was a skip i.e it not spawning when the timer reached zero, since I'm quite sure his zero on the timer is based on maximum minutes possible for a spawn to occur, so if that timer hits zero it means it is a skip.

And the reason this spawning system is a thing is because you dont need to use it to reach the main goal, it is a bonus and nothing else. It's has a supporting role to keep the acts the main focus of the NW series' 30 main ranks. So it is well made, logical and fine. If it was needed for the 30 first ranks it would be a different story.

Bug reports are basically the only thing on the forums that shouldn't have much discussion, and if there is, it might be to inform the OP that what they are reporting on isn't a bug or to support their claim that it is. All other threads are bound to have people disagreeing due to different tastes in what they like about warframe.

As the other poster mentioned you seem to move goal posts a lot, yet there are already a few defences against the arguements you put forth.

1. You seem to argue a lot that reaching 180 is too difficult. 

Many players have complained that reaching max rank is frustrating since standing gets wasted, so having max rank difficult to reach is good.

2. You seem to argue getting 180 takes too much time.

Time taken is 100% irrelevant if all you are looking for is a round number on your screen. It is your choice whether you want to reach it, as such it is up to you to decide whether it is worth the effort:

If it is worth the effort, do it and don't complain on the forums.

If it is not worth it, then don't do it and don't complain on the forums about something that you are/were unwilling to put the time into.

In both cases, you were able to do it and it was 100% your own decision whether or not to do it. Given the insignificance of a number combined with the fact that you wish to call yourself a completionist, there should be no reason for you to ask for more standing if you were perfectly capable of doing this yourself if you decided to put in the effort. 

3. You seem to keep referring to the spawns as random.

They were understood within a month of release. 25-25-25-50 minute intervals between them activating and previous posts suggest only 2-4 minutes variation from the pattern.

4. You seem to want anecdotal evidence of people reaching the cap.

Anecdotal evidence is irrelevant when it has already been shown to be mathematically possible,  the only thing anecdotal evidence would show is that there was someone like you who is a completionist and cared enough to reach the maximum. Any anecdotal evidence of people not reaching the cap when not trying to will not prove anything other than a lack of people trying.

still theoretical. Your 'example' doesn't mean anything more here than if you were the lucky turd who gets a legendary Arcane each and every time they run Eidolons. Reasonable expectation there exists somewhere within the standard deviations of the distribution, not on the leading fat tail. You did a nonstandard activity and/or had great circumstantial luck on when you happened to extract from missions, putting you on the extreme high end or the vague scatter-plot of unreliable glass enemy kills.

If we are talking statistics here, wouldn't a "completionist" not have to care about the distribution at all? If it is possible,  a completionist can do it. 

(First off, NW fissures are way less random than in game drops, so this analogy does not fit in that regard)

I am somewhat insane with the goals I set for myself, so let's use my goals as a similar analogy:

I'd like to get one of each mod and arcane of each rank. Most people only need 1 of each of the max rank. In case of arcanes, the regular person would need 21 of each, yet for my own goal I need 21+15+10+6+3+1=56 of each. Would it make sense for me to ask DE to increase the drop rate of Orphix Venom's currency because I am wont be able to fill my collection before the event ends after I decided to never run a mission that went above 22k and decided to rather split my time trying to farm the mech mods by running the lower tier of the event where the mods drop faster, but the currency slower? (Assuming I will never sell the arcanes)

I think the above scenario is very comparable to OP's based on all his posts, yet, I believe that due to my goal being mainly a completionist's goal and I was unwilling to put in the effort to achieve my goal that it is not the system that needs to change, but I who should have put in the work to achieve my goal.

Back to the statistics you were mentioning, let's say I was trying to get my arcanes through Eidolon hunts and I got 50 of each legendary arcane, yet for 2 months hit a dry spell where I only got rare arcanes, as a completionist should I complain that the drop rate is too low or accept that a completionist challenge is bound to be more difficult than the developers intended the rest of the game to be?

(I have indeed previously asked on the forums for something that would improve my ability to achieve some of my insane goals, yet I have only asked for a method to obtain things which were otherwise only obtainable once. {For mods I believe this to be acceptable, since extra copies does not make any build stronger outright, but would only add more versatility})

Just to confirm: I was hunting another lich today (my pointless goal is to get all lich weapons to 60%), caught a glass fissure at 21:05 UTC (I'm in the UK). So I decided to time my missions (none of them endless, none longer than 10 mins) to the 25 minute cycle. Was aiming to start a 10 minute mission 5 minutes before the expected fissure time (although could have used a smaller buffer). Was always able to do another 1-2 shorter mission in between the ones where I was looking for a fissure.

After the 21:05 one, caught glass fissures at 21:54, 22:19, 22:44 and 23:07. Was in-mission but did not see fissures around 21:30 or 23:32 (consistent with every 5th cycle skipping). Don't even try asking for screenshots though - dealing with them on the Switch is a pain, so I never bother.

But it is starting to look like the fissure times are rather predictable after all! Who would have guessed...

 

P.S.: NW Season 3 Rank 30+145, with 360 extra standing. Remaining tasks are expected to give another 3K(this week)+43.5K(next week). To reach the cap, need to farm another 3140 standing in 10 days.

I agree about the forum functionality, it never hurts having different opinions on any subject.

Yes I say it's too difficult to reach, 'cause in S2, if someone wanted finish get the missing ranks, after doing all possible weekly acts, could just spam a bunch of zealot boss fight 'till he was done with it. Whoever hit that final cap did it on purpose, unless he simply done that boss over and over for fun.

Consider the gap there was actually 0 ranks (it lasted 15 weeks*43500=652500), so everyone who played the whole series hit the cap anyway and I agree it was way too easy, but if there was a 20 extra ranks to get like now it would be still possible to do if you wanted doing the zealot.

In this series you can spend 100 hours, probably even less to reach from 0 a rank of 160-164. (considering also the 5 story acts)
Considering you can at best get 900 standing in 3 hours, by never skipping a glass fissure during most of this 8 months (the more the time this lasted the more hard would be never miss a spawn), to get those last 16-20 ranks are required 667 total hours by never skipping a glass fissure, so realistically the time required is even bigger.

Ofc you can remove the 100-300 hours you may have played during this whole season, you still needed more than 300 hours to do it on purpose. Please list me a "farming" in this game more tedious than this considering the time needed. (maybe reaching MR 30, but you can do it in no limited time)

Last point yes I want to see other opinions from people who wanted hit the cap, 'cause I got accused to have been just bad at get it, and we all know it can't and it's not a reason.

It seems that I did the amount of work I needed to do - since I'm about to reach the cap (even though I never set that as a goal - you did). Or are you under the impression that the goal was to suffer the grind, not to get the standing?

And don't give me that "luck" nonsense - 8 months is long enough for the Strong Law of Large Numbers to kick in, negating most luck-based variance.

Sure is long enough... Go read the previous comment I made, so let's bring here those 667 hours (the best scenario) and let me do some math: this season like you said last a total of 259 days, to hit the cap you had to play 3 hours a day with never skipping even one! And not in just 60 days or 90, it's almost an entire year.

Realistically not many players would play so consinstent in such a long time, and I'm not even considering "by just playing" during those weeks all the potential skips of fissure spawns (in such a long lasting series they can be a lot), the total amount of hours can easily reach 800/900 hours range.

Also like I said in the other comment, it feels so stupid that 16/20 final ranks requires countless times the amount of time needed to earn 160 ranks, the progression is linear for those first 160 than it just becomes unfairly big with no given reason, they just didn't noticed is still my best guess.

Yet the spreadsheet shows that (with a bit of calibration) you can predict the timetable for all the fissure over the next few days with reasonable accuracy.

This model may not be good enough for a timer you'd put on a website (it may require periodic manual re-calibration), but it is absolutely good enough to use in one's personal farming.

...at least that's what the data you introduced implies!

It also confirms how much time is needed to never skipping a glass fissure by doing the math I did above. So it still favourites both of us.

You clearly dont get the system. It is based on the real life clock. A spawn can fluctuate between 22 - 26 minutes and at rare occasions it skips a rotation, pushing it to 44 - 56 minutes. You cant go in and wait for the timer to hit zero and then wait for another 10 minutes, since that just means you got a skip rotation and 10 minutes is never a widow of time that it can spawn in after a previous spawn or a skip. So you should have waited 26 minutes in that mission after you saw it was a skip i.e it not spawning when the timer reached zero, since I'm quite sure his zero on the timer is based on maximum minutes possible for a spawn to occur, so if that timer hits zero it means it is a skip.

And the reason this spawning system is a thing is because you dont need to use it to reach the main goal, it is a bonus and nothing else. It's has a supporting role to keep the acts the main focus of the NW series' 30 main ranks. So it is well made, logical and fine. If it was needed for the 30 first ranks it would be a different story.

Like I said in the comment above this one, this series linear progression isn't linear anymore after rank 160-164, and you had to spend more time for those last ranks than the whole series 'till that point.

That's why the glass fissure system wasn't well made, they had to keep the ranking up more linear in terms of time needed to get each rank up.
But if those final ranks required still a bit more than usual I would't complained about it, but now it's just way too much. 

A middle ground in terms of hours needed by either having a better standing gain or more frequently glass fissures spawning, like every 5/10 minutes, would've been perfect for everyone.

It's not a black or white situation.

let me do some math: this season like you said last a total of 259 days, to hit the cap you had to play 3 hours a day with never skipping even one! And not in just 60 days or 90, it's almost an entire year.

That is not how averages work! You can play less time one day and more time on another day while still getting the same average. And I did say a few pages ago that I estimate I've been playing an average of 4.5 hours per day. That does not mean that I played exactly 4.5 hour every day - I played less on some days and more on others.

If you want to do the maths - let's be precise about it:

The season lasts (according to you) for 259 days or 37 weeks. At 43500 guaranteed standing a weeks (tasks), this is 1609500 standing. Adding the 7K standing we got for each of the 5 completed crime scenes (you did complete the crime scenes?), we are at 1644500 guaranteed standing, with 155500 left to obtain. Dividing by 259, that's 600 standing (or 4 fissures) that you need to catch per day (on average).

As I have demonstrated yesterday, you can easily catch 5 fissures in 2 hours and 2 minutes (say 2.5 hours) while doing other things (with minimal adjustments). Note that these are not even in-mission hours - these are in-game hours. And don't start making excuses about "luck" - as stated yesterday, I was predicting exactly what missions I'd be encountering a fissure every time (except the skip cycles - which too are predictable once you encounter the first one of them).

Now back to yourself: you said that you've been playing for an average of 4 hours a day over the course of this season - which is significantly more than the 2.5 hour figure established above. Therefore, you should have been getting significantly more standing than you did - even accounting for some of your playtime being ineligible for fissure (kuva survivals, the Index, etc.).

So stop blaming everyone else and try to understand why whatever you were doing was so inefficient!

Not many players call themselves "completionists" and set themselves the goal of reaching this standing cap! If you do call yourself a completionist and did set yourself that goal - then be prepared to put in more effort than those who don't and/or didn't.

I am one of those Conclave players! I don't play as much of it as I would like, but I do really enjoy it when I'm able to find a match!

And if you actually have a look in the Conclave section of this forum, you'll notice that quite a lot of the threads are about how to make it more popular. So the focus is not on asking DE to fix something very few people care about - the focus is on trying to make the game mode more popular so that more of the playerbase could enjoy it.

No that doesnt mean the glass fissure system is bad, it means it works as it should and the ranks beyond 164 were added in order to simply cover the series to the end for those that still want to grind. without DE having to spend pointless time to nudge the ranks in perfectly to line up with the end date. It is also linear, since you still need 10k per rank, the ways to obtain those 10k are just different but should have also been obtained over time during the whole season. By your own logic one could say the glass fissure system is far superior to the systems of other nightwaves since it allowed for a total of 180 extra ranks to be added as opposed to the previous max of 90.

And no a middle ground wouldnt have been perfect for everyone since it would still mean development time wasted on something that ends half a month later and where the core gameplay has already ended 2 months earlier more or less. Which in turn would mean more waiting time for other content pieces for those that have no interest in prestige at all or care nothing for reaching 180. It would also not be perfect for the whole bunch of people that strongly dislike glass fissures spawning once they're done with the basic NW ranks.

Yes... First fissure can spawn in a time around 25 minutes or less (I personally got one after 30 minutes a bunch of times), all next ones will spawn around 25 minutes later, let's add 2 minutes needed to clear all the glass enemies so timer for next spawn can start, 2 hour and half if you never skip a spawn.

Try play for 3 hours doing normal stuff, sortie, sindicates missions, crack some relics, a kuva survival for some kuva, 1 bounty on open worlds (all in public squads possibly). Come here saying you get 5 fissures during that session and multiply what you got for those 259 days!

Exactly, I never had consistently 4 fissures each day, but 2! And doing something consistently for such a long period is a requirement too big anyway.

So ofc in the end I will have half the standing you got... If you played differently (more like most players actually does) that standing amount would be a lot different.

Why the hardest thing to "complete" in this game has to be a nightwave series? Who thought this would be a good appreciated idea? Whatever goal I can possibly think of in this game and set it will require 10 times less the hours this needs.

I can only hope DE will put this system with this "slow progression" tied to time for something that more players will care about (a new resource maybe), I expect you will comment those potential topics like you are doing now.
Actually go make a post about putting that system for other farmings in this game yourself, you seem to like this one so much, let's see how many people will be supportive to such idea!

I will repost today and send another ticket, whatever you will say. 

Btw good luck, 'cause you need 9k more standing; we got 2 weekly bugged and they both can't be completed :)

If you use actual logical deductions and not the ones that suit you, the conclusion is a little bit different:

The correct conclusion is that DE should not be spending any major amounts of time maintaining Conclave (unless it gets much more popular) - which they do not. Deleting it from the game would also require a fair amount of development resources (removing the UI, removing the backend code, testing...) - and I'm sure DE has better uses for their time.

And the "because raids were deleted" argument shows either that you are not as informed as you claim to be or that you are arguing in bad faith: DE stated during one of their devstreams that the reason raid were removed was because they contained a lot of custom (raids-only) modifications that would break something with every update - taking up development time to fix. So comparing DE deleting raids with them keeping Conclave is a clear false equivalence.

The reason why I got less spawns than you should make you think a bit more about this system 'cause you still don't get it apparently, unless you are just trolling at this point.

ecause it's not? You seem to be one of the 2 people who are unable to "complete" this series to their satisfaction (you seem to be claiming that there's a third player - so let's make it 3). As far as I've seen, nobody else is having these issues. Maybe you're just doing something wrong?

4 actually (even more if you check comments area) Nightwave cap at 210 and 3 weeks to go. Any hints how to reach the cap in time? : Warframe (reddit.com)

We all did something wrong in a system where you can't even " mess up", you got them spawn and you kill them while you play, simple as that, no way people can fail this even if they wanted, unless they abort on purpose everytime they spawn. Do you realize how stupid you accusing us to fail something like this actually is?

Have you never heard of Eidolons? Those things that you hunt on the Plains at very specific time, that are the main source of a type of in-game progression (arcanes) that many players care about? I thought you'd peen playing this game for quite some time? You must have heard about them before now?

Did a lot of those, got around half arcanes needed to get all r5, then I finished all with both Scarlet Spear and Orphix Venom (DE made get arcanes so easy now)

Consider also eidolon are time based but you can do as much as you want 'cause there is no end-date.

This nth stupid comment proves DE made a tedious time investing farm, and changed it with this every 6 month event system, so they should do the same for this farm as well by your logic.

'Cause this farm is 100% worse than the arcanes one, which you actually hate, oh the hirony!
You seem to be the one that hates something ONLY when you fail at it by that comment, and blame others when you succeded in something tedious (you are still the only one), and they didn't.

Maybe your other goals are simply not ambitious enough?

Do some examples, you're way too general! And good luck finding one that requires 600 hours, and a constant 4 hours gameplay at day (it has to be time-limited as well don't forget)

Since all your arguments here have been torn to shreds, I guess opening another thread and hoping that nobody there disagrees with you is all you have left! Good luck with that one! Or is opening duplicate threads like that against forum rules by any chance?

No 'cause I want DE notice this (most of topics are ignored even when they address something 100% right to report), so this topic was probably skipped whatever we all said in all those useless comments.

And doing another will increase chance to make them notice it, and hopefully address it somehow, like they addressed arcane farm you hate so much ;)
