*sad Face* Play-Ability Becoming Issue With Lack Of Challenge

[OaKLeYz]

Simply put, this game is too easy once you have max gear and if you're like me who has all the frames level 30 and a majority of the weapons forma'd as desired, I don't have any reason to level stuff on Kappa/Kiste or care to farm for mythical void keys on Xini (or other defense missions for that matter). I have every mod you can get EXCEPT for Antitoxin (curse you!) so no reason to go looking for those. On top of all that, high wave defense is simply incredibly monotonous and not fun at all.

 

However, I do enjoy higher level nightmare missions like those found on Ceres because I seem to get a decent amount of high level mobs there. Only problem is, no one seems to play those! I will literally sit in those lobbies waiting and waiting for someone to join for an HOUR at a time. I'll watch some TV or a movie waiting with no luck only hoping to play just ONE game. I've already done them solo and that's not exactly fun.

 

Can anyone relate and if so, what are you doing to keep this game interesting?!

 

Disclaimer: I am relatively new to MMO's and PC games in general so this might just be part of the "nature of the beast" with these? I've always been a competitive console, Halo guy or played stuff like League off and on.

 

TL;DR

After 260+ in-game hours played with all frames at 30 and weapons forma'd to liking, I don't know what to do that is challenging or fun. Maybe stop playing until U10?

Play with normal weapons that aren't catalyzed or forma'd? If you're going to min/max your weapons and complain everything is too easy then, iunno.

Players shouldn't have to handicap themselves to create their own difficulty.

 

Here's hoping that eventually they come up with some kind of boss runs that require some kind of team coordination.

Gonna TLDR this and say...damn got all frames and weaps; suggesting a good guild backing you, and that, like me, you "invest" in the game.  Having said that, too easy = wait for others to catch up to your level of play style...A.K.A. = end Game.  They are revamping everything and putting in content like its a Fire Sale.  Im assumming you are on the design, gifted with a Broframe lvl Clan with peeps rdy and willing to farm, or pumping cash into plat.  Not downing ya man, just saying wait.  They are honestly moving faster than even you can push the game content. A huge update is on the horizon to fix osme of this sh1t, so sit tight and pull up the britches my friend.

I'm actually in a clan with only 29 members not looking to have more than 30 and have never been in something different. The only weapon we still need is the Acrid but I already have all the materials built just have to wait the days for research time since there is no way to speed those up.

 

And yes, being a Grand Master allowed me to skip past some of the farming for frames and such so it definitely made things quicker.

 

I still pretty much solo'd all those needs simply because I didn't want someone to carry me, that's just how I prefer to play.

handicap? its called maxing out Mastery Rank...

[Kyte]

a) Get a clan. Easier to find people. Already have one? Too bad, cry me a river.

b) So you're basically complaining that nobody wants to play the harder missions.

What do you want from DE, then. Force people to play harder missions? There's a reason why Pluto wasn't very popular even pre-U9.

Best bet... wait for DE to release a nightmarish event on Pluto... LOL... THEN and only THEN will I go there...

[Hayden11121]

I am sorry to say waiting for U10 most likely won't be an option.

 

U9 was the update I was putting so much hope on, and it showed so little improvement to the gameplay overall.

 

You might have worn yourself out of warframe as is.

[Letter13]

The big problem is that if DE releases missions/areas that require fully min-maxed, 8-forma frame/gear then everyone who either can't afford or don't have the time or dedication to getting the appropriate gear will be cut off from portions of the game--not to mention this will fuel the "Pay2Win" rabble.

 

Not to mention the matchmaking currently will match people with unranked everything with people who have supercharged rank 30 everything, which either makes the mission too easy for the super player or too tough for the rookie.

 

The issues I think need to be addressed are the following: Matchmaking and level scaling. Only match people who have comparable equipment when it comes to item level/forma spent, and scale the enemies up so they'll present more of a challenge.

Solo T3 void defense with your frost.

Challenge!

Um have you try doing T3 defense with your clan mates? Until you finish the whole thing, don't complain that this game has no challenge

You're right. But he asked what to do. The fact they released formas before there was (and still isn't) content that can match the absurdity that we can achieve on our weapons just smells of blatant cash-grab.

[DAWGUNITALPHA]

You mean something becomes less hard when you've min-maxed everything and do the most damage you possibly can? Say it isn't so.

Maybe if you don't want things to be easy then you shouldn't forma and potato every weapon? Doing things designed to make the game easier, then complaining its too easy just sounds...silly.

[fatpig84]

It happens to all of us eventually.

[Kiarin]

Ugh. Min-maxers don't seem to know how to have fun in games.....
