An Idea For More Challenging Missions

[Zylofan]

I am late game tier myself, I have frames formaed to all hell and back; and most mods all maxed out.

 

Warframe is not a challenge to me anymore. Which is a shame because I love this game, and I was excited when sorties came out because I thought they would bring a challenge, but no, I can do sorties in my sleep for the most part still.

 

And even if that were not the case, they are only 3 missions a day, 3 MISSIONS, that MAY force me to actually play a bit.

 

So I have come up with an idea, that might bring the challenge back to the game for high level players.

 

 

I think the game should reward players for using weaker builds!

 

The main problem right now is that the late game is not highly balanced for a challenge, but the early game is! To take advantage of this if players are enticed to use builds with low conclave levels then they can be presented with a challenge again!

 

But of course the key word is "entice" most players would not willingly hurt their farm potential for no reason, so I suggest an affinity boost be given when playing with a weaker build.

 

If you play with a conclave of X where X is determined by DE to be a fair level, then you get an affinity boost for the mission if you succeed. With the addition of focus this to me would be reason enough to run a mission not packing all my best gear!

 

I know the first thing people will say is that I can do that right now. I could just take off half my mods and get the challenge I seek, but the problem is I won't do that because I have no motivation to do so other than making a game that should be fun by default, fun again.

 

This system rewards players who want a challenge, but also doesn't hurt players who would still like to play with their god frames.

 

 

 

So any thoughts on this?

No thanks. I would rather not de-equip mods that I have worked so tirelessly to build.

You can already do that, as you said. Offeres nothing new. Cannot really support your idea.

Take a look at this instead:

This is just an example. There are way more out there, players just don't care about new chalenging content...

they just want more items to farm! :\ and complain about other stuff.

It's really hard to get positive and constructive feedback on new content for veterans.

Glad you actually read the post. ;)

More incentive to play at a more interesting power level is a great idea.  Good ideas, OP.  Idk if a straight affinity boost is the way to do it, but you may be onto something good.

Hitting the fusion button is soooooo tiring...

I read it just fine.
