For those who have reached Hardmode, what are your impressions?

Are you enjoying your time doing the activities or are things not as good as they could be?

I’m enjoying myself, currently at hm pyro almost have him beat. I fight them solo as it’s hard to get a decent group in que and they become bullet sponges. I’m enjoying the grind I like the challenge. I came from 11 years of Warframe so it’s nice same modding mechanics (not as in-depth) just new scenery :)

Yes, hard mode is actually hard and the game really wants you to focus on one character and weapons so you can farm effeciently. It's really neccessary in my opinion, focusing on too many character this early is bad. I just grinded enzo because of vaults, now i will focus on trying to get a farm character pref ultimate version, then go ham with it till im really comfortable farming in hard mode. Then i farm for everything else and improve other chars, weapons etc.

You have to step up your game so if you enjoy the extra challenge (and extra grind required) then you'll enjoy it.

... but I've quit now that I've got there.

I was here for multiplayer and matchmaking is out for Hard Mode, for now at least. Not a fan of spending at least 20 minutes trying to form a group in chat all the time and I don't want to have to be messing about with something like Discord as a requirement either. Game needs a guild or communities system or something.

Well no MM in dungeons mean that need lot of defensive stats and constantly switching is annoying.
In other side, forced multiplayer outside mean that outpost is constantly farming so we can't easy farm drop or several outposts with popular drop, we need w8 for respawn every time that also annoying.

You won't even be getting all drops from those recon outposts if you don't stealth. Design is so tedious.

horrible, you can't unlock anything unless you pay hundreads of dollars. Sure, you can unlock a character for 15 euros but you need so much stuff for them.
You also have to wait real time for "crafting" to be done so even upgrading a single character becomes a nightmare.
Equiping a new character is almost impossible because of the huge variety of drops.
Sad because the intercept boss fights are fun, the setting is nice and the overall combat is fun but they insist too much on teleporting and invulnerable enemies.
It's basically Outriders 1.5 but with pay to win

Have you played Warframe before? Same modding system. When it comes to relics in Warframe you have 6 drops that you can get from 1 relic. When you run a mission in TFD 6-7 drops. It’s also a Korean game and everything Koreans make is grindy. Warframe has pretty much all the same things as far as the grind, cash shop, materials, outfits, and characters. You don’t have to spend a dime on this game to progress. Just use your brain for builds and have some patience.

Don't forget that Warframe allows trades between players and this game doesn't.

Being able to swap parts you don't need for parts you do saves a lot of time in the long run.

My issue with TFD is that the act of farming here just feels so much worse. Most activities i just can't vibe with, its just on a much lower level than Warframe if you ask me. It is very easy to get tired of these mundane activities.

I can get behind that. I wasn’t that big of a fan until I unlocked hard mode. Then the grind of building my guy up to take on the world lol the challenge of the intercept boss fights and grind for mods perfect weapon rolls what has me hooked. I’ve played Warframe for 11 years done it all and have it all. Warframe was cheeks when it first launched now it’s a titan in the genre. Idk if TFD will become that but it has promise, depends on devs tho.

The things i want are all locked behind Zone recon infiltration, which is incredibly annoying to do. Run around the map activating the stupid towers EVERY SINGLE TIME, then exclusively use Sharen to clear the thing hoping to god you don't get spotted. And then hope you are strong enough to kill the boss. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ like that aren't fun.
