EinheriarJudith Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 all frames should start with all 4 powers at unranked rather than 1 power it makes absolutely no sense. try lvling zephyr solo with only tail wind its fricken atrocious. give me 1 good reason they shouldnt start with all 4 just one.

Spartan336 Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 Because it teaches newer players that they need to level their frames to become more powerful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This system has been this way since 2013, and hasn't changed. Why would you, instead of getting rid of the entire thing for every frame, just change the starter frames? Then the new players will get confused because they wont have all 4 abilities on their new frame causing even MORE questions to be asked about an already complex game. It's a perfectly good reason. And I don't see a reason to change it regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry for misunderstanding that. But I still don't see a reason to change it. As a new player it was fun to unlock new abilities and see what they could do. If you're just handed them, it wouldn't be as fun. This is Warframe, so you should grind for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EinheriarJudith Posted October 14, 2017 Author Share Posted October 14, 2017 (edited) i dont know if you were around before they removed ability mods but you used to be able to have access to all 4 powers. changing it to the new system is fine but they stripped away access to powers for no reason.

If you were to keep all your powers after you get it to 30 the first time I'd be ok with it. Keeping your powers after a forma would be great. But right of the bat I wouldn't like. Your supposed to discover your abilities, not get them outright. Besides, Zephyr's abilities aren't meant for soloing by using them only. Using a level 0 Warframes abilities, even if they had all 4, would be dumb. Just use your weapons. And I was around back then. I like the new system better. Could be personal taste, but I think it's because discovering abilities is much more fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hydron is the new XP farming place, and you get equal amounts of XP for all your stuff when doing it. You don't have to use abilities to rank up your Warframe. Shared XP is defiantly a thing, but abilities aren't. Edited October 14, 2017 by Spartan336 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shared XP is certifiably a thing, but abilities aren't. again you dont have to use abilities because of the shared affinity. without shared or objective affinity the only other way is if you use powers (killing with weapons don't grant you frame affinity while they grant other players affinity because of shared affinity). this isnt just a multiplayer game and i find most of the time when i pug i have more issues than some with squad mates then none, especially on MD with hallway heroes killing outside of affinity range. so will i sometimes take the opportunity to cut out the stupid? answer: yes. as i said before. having 1 ability at the start is pointless. you dont learn anything and it most certainly doesnt benefit those who have worked their &#! off grinding/ still grinding.

On a solo mission your Warframe will still level up without using abilities. You don't learn anything, besides "Hey this is how the game works." But you do discover something. Thats how the game works. It's also a part of the grind, hence being called a grind game. As I said I'm all for having all 4 abilities after a forma, but before hand would be a no for me. Besides, at the end of the day this is really quite trivial. It wont effect the game much either way, and I think it's more fun the way it currently is.
