ok, this is a tough one:

What do YOU think, what is Warframe right now?

*this thread is especially for the WF-veterans, but i also want to know what the newer player have to say abot this

-------------------------------------------------

My answer to this question is a quote from a forum user(i'm not sure whether or not i tell the name, so i won't do it):

 

"Don't get me wrong...I like Warframe...but it doesn't offer a whole lot of anything. It's literally just a grinding game with guns, not much ninjaing and also a lack of real fight-applicable interactions."

 

Don't get me wrong as well, but Warframe turns to be just another Shooter...

We get A LOT of content, but this content is just a new design of the old content(weapons and map),

i know it's very difficult to find new game types.

Warframe is highly highly repetative... unfortunately.

 

maybe it's just me, and it should become (slightly, well a bit more than slightly) boring after 400h.

I still enjoy the game, but i give me about 2 more month to break up with warframe.(this sounds like a relationship, huh xD)

-----------------------------------------------

ok, pls write your opinion below, and pls do not try to change mine(i can do this myself)^^

 

EDIT: we are in the discussion forum, please discuss with us, and dont write just one word posts

WIP.

 

Edit : because you wanted an opinion.

 

Warframe was a dark, attractive closed beta game when I first picked it up. It reminded me heavily of the Mass Effect 3 multiplayer which I was rather addicted to at the time, so it was a natural transition. I saw a lot of potential in the game when I first started playing, hence founders and saw it having a very bright future. 

 

Whilst the game has developed and definitely come on in leaps and bounds in the last year, it doesn't feel like it has moved forward in my opinion. Rather than moving forward with the game and being innovative in their development, the past year has felt more like they have expanded on what they already had to begin with. Now, don't get me wrong, this is fine to do especially in Beta, it's just not what I expected.

 

Also, the fact that the game hasn't developed certain things such as Stealth, balanced mission rewards or warframes or advanced AI yet, makes me kind of worried that the game is going to be stuck in the perpetual purgatory that it is currently in. Whilst certain updates have certainly changed the game (Update 7 and Update 11 for example), the actual foundations of the game do not feel all that different to the closed beta version.

 

In essence, the game is what it always has been, still after a year. A rather empty feeling shoot n loot with a progression system instead of an RPG system, where the sole reason to play is to grind. After a while, the grind simply gets to you.

Mature word, you are warned:

More seriously, I am a month old player and despite some changes that rustled my jimmies(Damage 2.0 released when I finally learned Damage 1.0 out of my head, now Damage 2.1 released when I finally learned Damage 2.0 out of my head...) I love the game and the devs seem to be really wanting this game to become grand.(Unlike Star Conflict devs)    

Maybe they don't always make the right choices, but as long as we are constructive and explain our thoughts they might listen ^.^

 

I am too new to really know if what I just said is true, but I do look forward to the future of this game and spending my money on it.

I'v had 600 hrs + and I love this game.. but it's not what it says on the tin.


"A self proclaimed ninja game that doesn't exhibit enough martial arts or stealth orientation."

Right now this game is a shooter, where we play as soldiers with supernatural abilites. We can parkour and use various technologies.
These are adaptations of modern concepts. Yet there is little to no expansion of Ninja related concepts. What I mean is, if you gave any kind of person these abilities, it does not define them as a ninja.

Though set in a future where these "ninja's" are capable of space travel. They are clearly not capable of using a variety of melee attacks or traversing the environment in a ninja like way. Ninja abilities are spread among Warframes as abilities. Though the overall majority of abilities are clearly for offensive purposes. Ninja's in a ninja game are expected to have a foundation that defines them. That means all Warframes as individuals would be able to distract, conceal, traverse the environment in a multitude of ways (other than just parkour, I'm talking shimmy, hanging, staying out of sight, spread eagle on a ceiling etc)

Instead what is seen, is that only a few warframes can conceal. Few can distract. Few can traverse in an alternate and innovative form (grappling hook, portal, bounce, teleport etc). This foundation is instead split among these Warframes. Similiar to specially tasked divisions in the military. Reinforcing that this game is not in fact, a game about ninja's, with a ninja foundation. 

But that this is a third person shooter, with parkour elements and melee and that's it..

My first like 3-4 months I was a big big advocate of WF and they could do no wrong... but between updates making me more and more frustrated with the game + it doing the same to my friends (and most of them bailing) pretty much changed my mind.

It's still a good game for the most part, but IMHO it's not nearly as good as it used to be and some decisions they've made to really radically change the game pretty much ruined it for me (because I invested a lot of time and even money into getting my setup "just so" and now all but like 3 of my gear pieces are just awful)
