Why is it dying?

fuck off retard

>implying anything in defended this rancid trashfire of a game
ah, I see english is your fourth language

>You are dead already! I know it, the system knows it, my 15 friends, who are betting on it, know it!

The game is objectively not fucking dead.

>>implying anything in defended this rancid trashfire of a game
It was defending coptering.

Their roster is bloated to hell already, but they just keep pumping it up with more unwanted shit.

The open world areas were a breath of fresh air, but grinding in them is fucking awful. Farming defense C rotation drops is somehow less repetitive then those fraction rep grinds.
Also having horrible weapon/frame balance in a game that's all about grinding for new weapons to try is a major fucking problem that will never be fixed.

Three broken/boring updates in a row. They need to fucking stop and focus on making what is there work.

GEE I WONDER WHY
The saddest part is a small percentage of these normies are going to get sucked in by the microtransactions and join you on the sunken cost fallacy, and you delusional fucks will take that as a sign the game is good and everything is fine just because you couldn't see the writing on the wall when the rest of us did.

waaaah

we already know you're retarded if you're still playing and defending this game you don't have to give me (You')s

Not enough big tiddy frames

Or else what? Gonna keep crying?

Powercreep.

They refuse to make endgame content for players that have hundreds of hours and top tier gear.

I just gave up at Empyrean. I think Warframe runs on dreams, everyone who plays it thinks that there’s an update coming, in some nebulous future tense, that will fix all the problems and make it great

Sooner or later, one by one, those players realize that it won’t ever happen, Warframe is just the game it is and not the game they know it could be, and they drop it.

It happens to everyone eventually.

>(you)'ing your own posts

No actual endgame, just endless grind

Females have been present Si ce the beginning.

Theres no reason for her to be blushing. Explain this.

yes but now they are attention whoring most of the time

even autists get tired of grinding in the same game for nearly a decade

It's a game about grinding, but the grind isn't fun. It's all about efficiency. "How can I do this mindless repetitive task, as quickly as possible?" But then they nerf everything efficient.

Whenever they do add stuff, it's just a really bad, buggy, barebones knockoff of actually good games. I mean this stuff is so barebones, it's not even a proof of concept. Their idea of difficulty, is nothing more than "BIGGER NUMBERS" which the players always manage to figure ways around.

The only conclusion I can come to, is that they actively don't want people playing their game, and that they'd rather be working on literally anything else, but idiots keep shoveling money at them for this game, so they're stuck developing it.

who fucking cares?
you want them to waste their time on a fucking trailer so you can watch it once and then NEVER again, when they could be fixing the game or adding more meaningful content

The game isn't dying, they just give way less events & fresh content than before because they have a harder time coming up with new exciting things.
Fanart about a work of fiction, that's your explanation.

>they'd rather be working on literally anything else
thats why we have those minigames

Shut up Scott.
All the time in the world couldn't make you fix the game, as evident of how little has changed over the years.

the only thing the game builds up to is more buildup.

don't request a win condition, just grind equipment and then get excited for more equipment

they couldnt they dont know how

This.
League of Legends had problems with this and DE is going the same path.

you don't have to be Scott to think the trailers are a complete waste of time and resources

if I had said that everything needed to be nerfed into the ground and to have all fun removed from the game, THEN you could call me Scott

I see this said so often of Warframe, and pardon my ignorance since I stay away from the genre as a whole, but isn't that true of every fucking PvE game-as-service title, period?

I mean what's "endgame" in WoW or FFXIV? Sooner or later it all just becomes grinding to grind so you can grind for grinding on grind, and the game sustains itself by constantly shitting out updates that add a new grind milestone.

Even PvP games have this now since the battle pass became a thing.

Is Warframe in some way uniquely guilty of it and I'm not seeing it? Or is this just what happens when people who came for the gameplay mechanics figure out what an MMO-style metagame actually is?

>this is what people who still play warframe actually believe
I pity you brother, I really do.
One day you'll drop those chains and wonder why you held them for so long.

With this much build up everyone is gonna get constipated soon.

endgame raids

Warframe needs sweeping nerfs. It needs a complete balance overhaul. I know they'll never do it, but the game has powercreep'd itself into utter oblivion and no amount of tweaks will save it.

People who play the game bitch that it's just mindless farming with no "end-game level challenge" but they don't want challenge, they just want mindless farming. Nerf their farming implement and they riot.

This, they've also completely ran out of ideas on how to introduce new Warframes into the drop tables.

It's to the point where they're just recycling the ideas for older frames, but doing different implementations of the same idea. They're done. Add some other form of progression. You've taken the Warframe and Mod ideas as far as you can, and there's only so many ways you can make an Assault Rifle shoot.

The gameplay itself has potential.
Jumping around, dodging shit etc - can be very entertaining, especially if the environment allows for it.
The problem is that with enemies always knowing where you are, always shooting at you no matter where you're located - it doesn't matter that you're up under the roof or in a vent somewhere.

Doesn't help either that all tiles are pretty bland in terms of mobility, obviously made this way because the AI can't fucking move around or flush you out should you sit in some vent.

Ultimately fixing these things would be redundant because while you had fun spending 30 minutes in a mission, you only got 5000 credits as your reward.
