Stormquake Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 I love it, and I wouldn't mind if it was even a tiny bit harder. I hadn't died in missions in so long, so going into U9 and getting rocked in solo made me have to reconsider so many of my mods and also convinced me to finally work towards a sentinel. Soloing is so fun and a great challenge right now and I don't get why everyone is saying it's too hard. Appreciate the challenge guys, Warframe isn't meant to be casual, we're god damn space ninjas.

[PS. Anyone else loving the new enemies and higher level stuff?] 100% agree with you, although it's still far too easy with a group of 4. But soloing is much more enjoyable when I actually have to dodge shots instead of standing there like a bullet soaked sponge, or bring ammo packs because I actually run out now. This update definitely been a huge improvement in terms of difficulty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This update definitely been a huge improvement in terms of difficulty. Defense on certain maps is mad hard even with 4 people though, and you kind of have to consider squad composition now. You can't go in without at least one tanky frame or you're going to get wiped in higher missions. Also, I haven't been running out of ammo, but that's just because of the normal melee strike boosts, wooooo! Dual Ethers with max fury, pressure point, and loads of elemental mods have been my weapons of choice in U9.

opolong Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 It only really hit me the first time I played update 9 and got my &#! handed to me by Vor. But I will always blame that on the fact I couldn't equip Energy Siphon at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archistopheles Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 (edited) The only thing to kill me so far is Nightmare Raptor when I had vampirism. Edit: Ice-reduced shields too Edited July 16, 2013 by Archistopheles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-HAKUNA-YOUR-TATAS- Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 The only thing to kill me so far is Nightmare Raptor when I had vampirism. Edit: Ice-reduced shields too I imagine that scenario could only be topped off by adding a melee only modifier as well. XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xenapan Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Its "harder" but im still able to solo everything without problems. It does force me to play better as now I actually have a chance of dying if i make mistakes which is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Mochie Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 I really do love it. Soloing nightmare missions is now a seriously fun challenge. +1 DE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Transmorphic_Wyvern Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 And having fangs or daggers equipped at the time... Oh jeez... Run run run, jump.... Rocket to the face. And I ran!~ I ran so far away!~ I just ran!~ I ran all night and day!~ Couldn't get away~ This was totally called for, in my opinion. Especially since it was an ice level, with the ice condition XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fredlicious Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 I freaking love it; it's not "omg I can't do anything hard," so I'm not sure what's up with the complaints. I do think that Nightmare mode should be an option on missions where it is enabled, though. I can't think of a good gameplay reason that playing normal mode on those missions should be disallowed.

AcewingX Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 People are running around like headless chickens in PUG's, and I just failed the Meridian helmet alert three times due to the "scaling". It either demands all the players have their best gear on, or that you have a Frost. It also seems like the defense node/artifacts do not properly scale with the level 60+ grineers, and even a rocket heavy can shred 12-15% of health off of them. I honestly prefer how the alerts scaled before this difficulty spike went into place; if people want a challenge, they can do Nightmare mode/T3 Defense. Don't force it on everyone and in every sector of the game, because it really doesn't benefit all the players, especially in PUG's. (And before anyone asks why I wouldn't go with a clan/friends - Neither were interested in participating or were already in a group). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But be advised, you are not supposed to leave mercury-venus-earth if you cant kill Vor reliably. And trust me, Ive been playing Warframe since January´s closed beta days, difficulty is something that you hate at first, true. Then, when you start to miss it you learn to love it... badly. Warframe has never been as fun and challenging as it is nowadays. And hope there is more to come! Edited July 17, 2013 by Eversor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
