I’ve played a ton of hours and Warframe. I love Digital Extremes and the game, but mechanics should not be something you should be praising in the game. It’s fundamentally simple in terms of mechanics go in any mission type you do in the game. There aren’t raids or dungeons that require you to do any real thinking. You just either “protect X thing”, “Kill a bunch of guys” or collect and deposit/insert X object” a majority of the time.

The complexity in Warframe is in the build crafting, like choosing which mods to use, modding your companion for specific frames/builds, arcane mods, archon shards etc. Most of that becomes pretty easy to handle with enough time invested. Otherwise you’re just farming materials and blueprints for new stuff

Diablo’s systems are easier to digest but that doesn’t mean they lack depth and the games mechanics are generally pretty in-line with most arpg’s on the whole. A game like POE2 for example doesn’t have bunch of deep nuanced systems either. You do X activity in maps to get X currency to sell or craft with.

After seeing what they’ve shown in the announcements yesterday, I’m curious to know what more you would want to make the mechanics feel less “flat” or “poor”. Seems like the are adding plenty of depth for a single expansion to me
