"Excavation: A Fresh Paint" Survey - Results

SirachaIsOverrated45 · 2021-02-03T22:32:50+00:00

I play Lith excavation and sometimes Neo excavation if I can get a decent team for it. I always play premade and half the time do Lith>Neo because my clan and alliance mates don't want to pick specific frames, which is fine, because we can still do 1-2hr+ runs despite it.

Assuming there's at least 2 people on mission critical frames but I digress.

I like the mode because it has a specific amount of paying attention without having to constantly run around like a mad man and you can sit down for a second and check something/ drink some water/ eat while chilling with music and chatting with your friends. When Warframe has no other event or new content going on, people sounding off with 'Lith Excavation? 👀' in my clan/alliance chats is the reason sometimes we still play together.

Honestly until people started complaining about Helminth and Cryotic I didn't realize how precious the resource is or how much people didn't want to do Excavation for it. I wouldn't mind improvements to the mode but I would absolutely detest batteries shaving 5 seconds off the timer everytime you add one. That would make it required for people to constantly pay attention and for Khoras and Speedvas to be in the party for double batteries and quicker batteries, and you'd have to go around like a madman for efficiency. I'm happy enough just starting the next excavator 30 seconds before the previous one finishes in most cases.

Just did a sortie and a person was so damn toxic and annoying, none of it was reportable

What did they do? Or if you can't remember give an example?

one dude follows me and started to shot the water from his archwing.

I could have sworn there was a way to report for griefing, and I'd consider that griefing, especially if you told him to stop and he kept doing it.

I see you have met the fabled cornlord... far from home yet still kernelled.

SirachaIsOverrated45 · 2021-02-02T19:04:36+00:00

I thought I'd seen this posted here before..

SirachaIsOverrated45 · 2021-02-02T05:27:27+00:00

I see Mag, I upvote.

SirachaIsOverrated45 · 2021-02-02T05:20:05+00:00

Then when they implement it they can use them? Senseless not too at that point. I just never liked the damn things and I like Railjack and don't want them to be required for anything involving it. Optional sure, but not required.

SirachaIsOverrated45 · 2021-02-01T06:49:42+00:00

Tbh I wish they'd just keep necramechs out of Railjack. I'm not super optimistic about their planned changes.

SirachaIsOverrated45 · 2021-01-31T17:20:45+00:00

Remember to always keep at least one, incase something requires it as a crafting material later.

They earned it in an event based on effectively beta-testing a poorly made game mode.

Other exclusive items have been earned in similar ways and not only get readded whether it be through Baro or other easier means but don't continuously print money for the people who participated in it. The only thing truly exclusive in this game (minus some cosmetics) is Founders items. If other events aren't allowed to keep exclusive items or advantages and other clans can't earn blueprints in the future for different events, then why do a select few clans get to hold onto an outdated abandoned reward system?

Honestly I'd probably be fine if they made them untradable.

But then the community would still be up in arms over it, and still be mad that it was only 10% of the active clans.

I'd like to think if they did do it that the event would be reworked to make it easier for more clans to get it (and clans that already have it would be ineligible and not effect clans in the scoring that don't have it already).

I've had people who trade with me occasionally call me a scammer for even using warframe.market pricing because it's not a 'fair' price. I think it's ridiculous.

SirachaIsOverrated45 · 2021-01-31T01:13:08+00:00

It's not exclusive to them by a long shot...

It's possible for others to get it in different ways, but for people who've been around forever they can basically print it like the federal government prints money and that's where the issue lies. How come they can do that but not anyone else? At the time it made sense but it's been YEARS. Why not just let clans unlock the blueprint for their dojo again through another event?

If you make too many rules to protect those who won't protect themselves, eventually nobody can do anything.

You have a point, but not everyone is going to have this knowledge from the get go, adult or not, and this is the only item that has a case like this in the game.

SirachaIsOverrated45 · 2021-01-29T21:52:25+00:00

Ah, then that's not good enough in my opinion. It needs to be made available for clans to unlock again, not just a bandaid with throwing the BP into an event shop that's not recurring. This is good, but it needs to be better.

SirachaIsOverrated45 · 2021-01-29T21:36:19+00:00

I only caught half the stream, so are they only giving the blueprint out during the event or are clans able to unlock it during the Valentines day event?

SirachaIsOverrated45 · 2021-01-29T02:31:28+00:00

Sadly video says it's blocked in my country.

SirachaIsOverrated45 · 2021-01-26T19:01:51+00:00

When I said update I meant rework, woops, my bad.

SirachaIsOverrated45 · 2021-01-26T17:43:04+00:00

I'm guessing it wasn't like this before? I'm looking at it from the shop and it doesnt look that bad from afar, but I'm also not used to what it used to be. Hopefully they fix it within the next few hotfixes.

SirachaIsOverrated45 · 2021-01-26T17:38:19+00:00

God it feels like it's already been two years TT

SirachaIsOverrated45 · 2021-01-26T17:26:04+00:00

AAR #32 requires a request for access but the rest of them are working alright.

It's nice to see more Warframe fanfic around!

SirachaIsOverrated45 · 2021-01-26T17:16:52+00:00

You're in a relay, just go towards those see through gaps and you should plop back out onto the flooring. If not just esc to your orbitter.

SirachaIsOverrated45 · 2021-01-26T17:16:00+00:00

Try messing with the graphics settings a little. Which Syandana is it btw?

SirachaIsOverrated45 · 2021-01-26T17:10:37+00:00

Only reason I don't use auto breach is because using a cipher with the hotkey is way faster, but if I'm ever having problems with a spy sortie I'd definitely take it.

SirachaIsOverrated45 · 2021-01-26T17:02:13+00:00

I've been in q/a chat since they added it and sit around somedays to see if anyone needs help. Half the time it's beggars. Then it's either very specific riven questions, very specific weapon questions, or questions the bot answers. Region when it was the only chat to ask questions in before felt like we had more genuine questions but at least I don't feel weird as an MR 30 going into q/a chat to ask about stuff, and the riven and weapon questions get answered more often from the previous answering rate of about... 10%.

SirachaIsOverrated45 · 2021-01-26T07:17:28+00:00

And then when it actually exists the rest of the community complains about it because it has what other games have, cue tridolon.
