There isn't anything else if you remove grind
>>
Because you can't put aside the grind in a game that's main feedback loop is "grind to grind some more".
>>
>removed coptering and other fun things
its just power creep and stupid amounts of grinding

The main developer said it best in an interview with Angry Joe.

It's a rat maze based on grinding shit.

The only appeal it really has it tits and ass.

The grind is optional, but there's not a lot else to do.

But isnt that the point of all MMO's?
In WoW you grind for loot to later on do raids that give better loot. and you can replace WoW in this anology with any other MMO. Whats your point?
>>
>>383710479
For me , it sets the graphic standard high so you can say "Warframe , that is a free game 3-4 years old , has better graphics than your AAA shit".

I like that is it exists in this industry and raises the competition barrier.
>>
>>383710479

Because I've put 350 hours into it, unlocked everything I want. What more is there to do?
>>
i prefer the 2014 and before WF, that was way better than the modern one.
>>
>>383710928
I'll also admit that the core gameplay of Warframe is good enough to warrant engaging in that feedback loop for some time. I played the game for fifty hours before fatigue set in, you hit the paywall, and realize that there isn't much more to the experience then stylishly sliding your way through grunts. I imagine that many other people here had a similar experience and that's why they don't play it anymore.

But shit man, Plains of Eidolon is looking good, and I just heard that they finally added Banshee Prime. I'm considering going back for a bit.

Criticize the game. Give feedback to the developers, expect and look forward to future content.
>>
>>383710928
Grinding in Warframe is doing a horde mode map while magnet guy spams his draw in enemies and items move and someone does an AoE. I get your point though.
>>
>>383710928
This is why MMO's are a garbage genre upheld entirely by their social elements, which Warframe is sorely lacking.
>>

I recently came back and did the 2nd dream quest.

I always thought I was this cool robot ninja.

Turns out, I'm a dumb kid and the "warframes" are fucking puppets. I was so mad I didn't play since.
>>
>>383711327
No.

Anon, games end. This is a pretty difficult concept for people to accept when a game has no ending, but it still is true. You don't need to be upset that you no longer want to play a game after sinking so much time into it. I don't WANT to play for 10,000 hours. I've had my fun, thanks, it was great, and now I've moved on.

>>383710479
I'm only level 4, but I think there's serious lack of game modes.
It's mostly wave defence or "go inside and do specific thing".

Bashee prime was added months ago and only 50 hours? Man you have some carching up. I bet you havent even done any of the cinimatic quests.
>>
>>383710587
Yeah, it's 4 hours of content that they tried to stretch across the entire solar system.
>>
Game lacks proper pvp, hopefully they'll add that dark souls invasion stuff

This is one of those games where once you get all the things you want, there is no reason to play it anymore.

>>383710479
They banned Warbros because they were #1. Fuck them.

Progress to the Uranus junction and start the second dream quest then after that do the war within. Its a massive change of pace and i dont want to say more otherwize ill spoil stuff

But I do like it. It has really smooth well optomized 3rd person shooter gameplay.

How long is banshee prime gonna stay available? I don't wanna play yet but I don't want to miss her either.

Shes not the current prime that would be oberon prime and soon hydroid prime.
If you want bashee just do some relic missions to get her parts or trade for plat to buy her off people who have her

I've still got fingers crossed that some day, eventually, they add an option to ditch the little turd-skulls, but the more I wait the more I'm sure it'll never, ever happen because they've made the lore focus on 'em too much already.

Fuck. Now I'm getting angry again.

The fact they exist at all still infuriates me. That and every time there's a new cinematic quest doodad whoops there goes the hood, here comes a bunch of stupid shit out their mouth because they're the most important person in the fucking universe and the whole gruddamn story is now centered around the player's own potato kid in particular.
>>
>>383712716
When I was watching that all I could think was they'd just be better off starting fresh with a warframe 2 instead of trying to have all this new shit but still keep old stuff somewhat relevant.

Warframe shills are pathetic.

My whole feel for the game changed, they removed all the coolness with one cut-scene.

I wasn't this disappointed since Kylo ren took his mask off in force awakens.

It's not though, just that their moderators delete any other posts to give the impression those kinds of players ar the majority.

>>383713219
Even outside their official forums they're popular. Plebbit loves 'em and the crowd of deviantArt divas loves 'em, doubly so now that they can use the Obscura Camera function or whatever it is to take THREE HUNDRED FUCKING NEARLY IDENTICAL PHOTOS of their ugly-ass Operator and spew them all over dA like it's 2008 and bad Garry's Mod renders are back in fashion.

>>383713362
Hell, there's even a sizable portion of /wfg/ that apparently likes 'em, although that might just be a different form of autism that's more attracted to underage androgynous children than it is to self-insert Original the Characters.

The cinematic quests are good, but they only last a few hours or so and then it's back to the normal shit, which now feels even worse because you've had a taste of something better.

>>383710479
I honestly can't even figure out how to progress in this game. Seems like no matter how much I upgrade my shit I can't move on past a certain level of strength.

progress through the starchart and go from planet to planet. Make sure to do the junctions and quests in the quest tab. Also if you want to get more powerful learn to use mods more effectively. If your confused about somthing try a channel on youtube called Brozime hes got alot of good information for new players in his free2playthrough series.

It's a bio-mechanical being grown from a corpse and augmented with ancient technology being remotely piloted by a transgendered potato child.

>tfw 1700 hours in Warframe

I fell for the meme
>>
>>383710479
To me it's just the total lack of content.
It has like 4 map type of copy pasted rooms, like 4 different enemy types with little to no variety, and because of the F2P aspect they force you to grind this shit for decades to get anywhere.

I can happily grind in games like Diablo 2 because I know it won't take me long to get a new item, or even a new skill. In my 60 hours or so of Warframe I played with the same frame and used like 3-4 weapons because all the interesting ones were locked behind paywalls/immense grinding.

It's a shame because it has a pretty nice base with some pretty satisfying fast paced combat. But it being F2P just kills any chance it has, both because of the grinding, and because in the end it's numbers and not skill that determines how well you succeed.
>>
Did they ever add the 4th enemy faction?

It's not the grind that makes Warframe bad.

It's grinding without a real endgame. You have infinite means of min-maxing your weapons, pets, frames, and mod cards without a real ceiling of achievement or status. The game has a half-dozen systems for pet raising, drones, weapon rebirth, and affinity shuffling without a finality.

Top this grueling system for perfection off with a bloated and looming cash shop and you've a game that does a poor job ever disguising it's whaling nature for people to throw small fortunes of money at under the illusion they're attaining peak equipment for the hardest content at any point in time before the next dump of items with no pauses inbetween.

The game doesn't value your time whether you pay or not, and the direction the developers have for it changes wildly with such a great uncertainty that you never are 100% certain whether your time is being spent efficiently. If the PVP or competitive features meant a fucking damn, this would perhaps be even more hard hitting than I make it out to be.

I just burnt out trying to stay clan-relevant and be able to participate in the latest swarm beatdowns for the chance at the latest mods for a few years now. The game is the epitome of a journey without end or closure. The story content marginally makes up for those shortcomings but if you're planning to play the game for some length of time until you come out with a comfortable build that you think will stand the test of time while you work on another suit or set of weapons, you're going to get the rug tugged out from under your ass on the regular by adjustments and a constant power creep from newly added equipment and mods.

>>383711370
Warframe is all grind and no social structure, despite all the special skins and customization they offer which ultimately is a personal taste. The hubs players gather in tend to be idling ghost towns and are ultimately shallow attempts to alleviate a game inherently designed for lobby play.
