Question: Do you regularly use Operators more than you absolutely have to?

[phoenix1992]

No, Only during Eidolon kills.

Because it is not efficient.

[fatpig84]

I use it when necessary.
Even 250 hp is pretty glassy.

[nickelshark]

No. I don't find them fun to play. The only time I use them outside of eidolons or kuva missions is when I'm fighting stalker or sentients if I'm not using some top tier weapons.

[Hypernaut1]

I've been soloing the plains mostly, and I've realized that I am actually starting to use them voluntarily a bit more. 

My school is naramon and void blast confuses and disarms enemies. I've actually been using that at times when things get hectic. While stealth is rarely ever necessary, I've used the naramon void ability to see enemies through terrain and sneak up on them. There is one bounty that requires stealth and it came in handy. I've even escaped a few ambushes in void mode. In a group, I'll rez in void mode.

It still doesn't feel like a polished experience. I still get disoriented at times and I still don't "get" the concept of these guys materializing. I thought the floating apparition of mental energy made more sense lore wise. 

Not the direction I would've taken the game in, but I'm coming to grips with it. WF was always about being weird anyway I guess.

I don't play any content that requires Operator use. That said, I still like to press 5 every once in a while just to walk around like a normal human being. Immersion brings more fun into games like this for me than trying to min-max my combat effectiveness and time spent grinding.

Brief comment...mmm...mostly it's because the Operator isn't the avatar I signed up to use way back when. A large degree of this is simple inertia, but I also don't like the limitations the present keybinds place on me. If I have to radically redo keybinds--which will affect every aspect of my gameplay negatively for a long time--to use this new feature, I'm not inclined to use it much. 

I don't have a problem with the operators from a story/lore perspective. It's strictly a mechanical thing and one I'm loathe to modify since so much muscle memory is involved. 

Sums it up perfectly for me.

[Atekron]

no, why would I? i'm already forced enought to use it

[Praslea]

The operator has its use.

You can soak a big hit by switching to operator, dying and going back to your warframe.

You can revive a fallen ally very easy by entering operator mode, pressing ctrl for stealth and revive while stealthed.

Void blast is a very usefull cc.

I'm sure more utility will come in the future.

Edit: De should focus on building operators for utility and not for dmg. That's what warframes are for.

Nope. I avoid the operator at all costs. I don't do Kuva siphons or floods, don't plan to do any Eidolon crap, and will probably not spend any focus once it's refunded. Basically the only time the operator happens is when I accidentally trigger transference (using a controller, with my layout, it happens sometimes if I accidentally bump a paddle and select that power). 

The only "operator" thing I'd do is occasionally use the Focus power, but even that is rare.

i agree. More utility, less combat prowess.

They just feel weird, but im trying to learn to love them.

I dont "get" the concept though. Im trying to imagine how this plays out from a story standpoint, and its just weird. 

I would be FAR more comfortable with them if My WF became a specter- in fact, i'd probably love double teaming enemies with my WF if that was the case

Now there's an idea, I can get behind. 

The warframe being turned into a specter while we are in operator mode, loving the idea!

But for the record, I rarely use my operator unless I'm forced to it by game mechanics.

That being said, one of the former posts actually highlighted a few things, I didn't consider possible by utilizing the operator.

[DeMonkey]

Yes because my Operator allows me to revive freely, place a free bullet attractor on capture targets/bosses and easily push through hordes of enemies whilst debuffing them for my allies, also for free.

If I can do all this with the small amount of focus I had, I cannot wait until I've grinded the system a bit more.

[Echowing]

Yes, I use mine regularly.  The various abilities from Vazarin give you a lot of survivability and defensive utility to help the team, and you can use Protective Dash to heal yourself and avoid incoming damage.

[Twilight053]

Yes. Having played for 4 years straight you get so bored of being an OP brainless machine, I prefer playing Waroperator.

No Not until DE prove they have some basic competence and maturity.

Yes, because I am one of the few people who aren't afraid of actually being required to use my brain for something else than smashing the "4" button on my keyboard.

 

 

Honestly, I can understand why people don't like the fact that Operators are children, but that's no excuse to be stubborn and go full "I don't like it, so it has to be removed. And until it gets removed I HAVE to insult the system in any way possible". Like it or not, they're here to stay. So deal with it or GTFO.

Boy, I can already see all the haters coming to start a flame war with me...

 

I have far more issues with them being mentally childish then i have issues with their physical age. I also cant take them seriously when they are so inexperienced and incompetent. 

[Greenshockclaw]

Yea, I actually enjoy operator combat. hoping we get more combat oriented gear later on, as opposed to the utility we're getting at the moment

Yes. After I finish my mission I switch to Operator and jump down any cliff, in the hope that I can actually kill it. 

Aye, I've donned a bag on the head of my space vermin in hopes it suffocates. More than two years, it still lives. It seems like space babies need no oxygen 

But no, I am not and will not participate in eidolon takedowns, I will not waste my time leveling the brats, I will not farm kuva, I will not farm more focus than I have now. I'm here for some badass shooting action, not some westernized shonen galore. Call me a nudnick but in my world, space marines > crippled indigo brats

I would use operator more if DE would add modding to them. Make it so that we can mod the amp and the armor pieces that they wear with stats same between all pieces of armor.

Agreed. If our frame move, use abilities and attack like specter (those craft specters from rescue mission), then i will be happy to use operator. And, maybe give operator a separate set of abilities? (Like how there's a separate gear wheel when equipping fishing spear).

No (I don't count activating passives at mission start). But I will occationally use my OP for resses (thanks to Lisztomaniac for the tip).

Too much fuss, too little gain. This won't hold me back from putting my focus (pun intended) on Destiny 2 next week. I still play Warframe along, but I won't throw myself in the treadmill this time.

Did you just answer your own question in your own thread?

You're a nudnick. Reality-warping children controlling space ninjas > Boring old space marines.

[LameLaYou]

Yes.

I love the new operator, i don't have much focus points to unlock nodes and they are already super useful for movement, soft CC, reviving, helping my warframe survive etc. I keep on finding more uses for them that complements my warframe gameplay and i can't wait till i get more focus & operator equipment to make that side of the gameplay even better.

I actually am motivated to farm focus and quill/cetus standing now.

[Vectorazec]

No.

I have too much fun just shooting things and hitting them with my sword. I might teach myself how to use the operator at some later point, but imo the game already offers a lot more interesting things to put my focus on.

By the way, we should start some kind of club for people with edgelord usernames.
