The Login Reward Problem In Warframe

[Scholar Andrew]

Dear Digital Extremes,

The Primed Shred has become available to obtain today, should the player have reached the 600 day login reward. The stats look great, and the utility is doubtlessly phenomenal. I'm excited to get it.

Unfortunately, I am not in the position to obtain this mod at this time due to my job occupation, being unable to login to the game for months at a time because of work. This is unavoidable, and there is no workaround to this problem.

I am approximately 200 days behind receiving this login reward and there is no way to 'catch up' to the time lost. That's it. You snooze, you loose. Too bad.

This is VERY disconcerting, as it seems very elitist in concept to restrict access to content by playtime. There is no means to 'earn' this time back, or redeem the days lost to return to the 'current' achievable login day reward.

The game is very much still playable, and there is much I currently enjoy and more I look forward to. I will not downplay the frustration of this, though, just because there are other good things available and in the works.

To be frank, current aspect of the login reward system passively 'locking out' players is incredibly bad. Just really bad.

Thanks for reading, and I'd like to get as much feedback as the community has to offer.

Have a great day!

Guess it's the humanitarian one then :) Can't see how the others should prevent you for months.. As it is though, I can see how it sucks for you, but I don't see any flaw with the system itself.. It was made to reward players who comes back daily/often, and as such it works

[snee.scampers]

often would be better than daily

75% of an average callener month would be more than fare to a loyal player that checks in regularly

Primed mods shouldn't be time locked and especially not for nearly 2 f***ing years!

Yeah time lock exclusive weapons and cosmetics, but not mods.

As others have said, it creates a strong disincentive for new players as they can never catch up and also puts off lapsed players who might want to return, only to be hugely put of by the same issue.

While I understand OP's frustration, I couldn't agree with OP.

I've been around since U6, when the Daily login reward happened, I wasn't entirely thrilled.
First, it was sorta promised that higher MR will have a better chance at rolling better item for our daily reward. And being MR24 still only net me an orokin cell or whatever 'rare' resource that any veteran would have in the thousands by now.

Second, no retroactiveness. Sure, that's fair, but it also left a bitter test for veterans who've been around forever. But we started the same spot as everyone else.

There are tons to do in Warframe, but one thing that everyone eventually experience, is burning out; From all the grind, all the farm. Taking a break from Warframe isn't something I haven't done, in fact, done plenty.

But that's no excuse for what OP is complaining about. It's a daily login system, you aren't required to play daily. I too missed several months worth of login days, due to internet shortage, moving etc. You don't see me crying about asking for compensation.

[TL;DR:]
And there have been times that it was my own fault, I was so burned out that I didn't even want to bother login. But that's exactly it, all you needed to do is login. Which takes at most 5 minutes to do, no matter how busy one's life is, you can spare that 5 minutes to login. If you couldn't spare that, then you've got no rights to cry about it.

Daily login system isn't a chance thing, it isn't require consecutive, it is something everyone would be able to get, eventually. It is a reward system that show gratitude to those who have the dedication to at least spend that 5 minutes of their life, everyday. Or if you'd like the less glorified version - It's a system that shows who've got no life, or made Warframe part of their life.

It's not that OP.
Get over yourself; do you really think having job to support yourself is problem?
Seriously?

[PhellAsleep]

Supported the game since Beta. Couple months behind in logins. Don't agree with OP. You get the inconsequential reward when you put in the minimal effort required.

i'm in the same boat, but i don't see the big problem in just logging in once the day (not even 2 min of timeto do so) to get the counter going.
i have over 4.2k of hours in the book and should there get a lot more of those login rewards, right? no! i'm about 40 days behind the top in logins (as you said, sometimes you really can't do it) but in don't complain about it since even the "great" primed mods aren't really necessary at all - they are no game changer but just a little addon for even smother runs (IF at all).
there is no "elitist" and no "lock out" in this reward system - the problem is only your perspective.
i don't even here player that where "offline" frome wf for over a year complaining about this - so why should you be entitled to get more?

[«Wodan»]

I still give the OP more points since they are able to make a well constructed post. Definitely worth more than most of these replies are.

[Kaciro]

NO NO ATTENTION

just kidding

[Kaciro]

If it helps, warframe have a mobile app for login.
Maybe DE dont give a ♥♥♥♥ about the missed logins, but you can use this app in your work just to login and get the rewards.
I need more 25 days for 500 (zenith)

sorry for my bad english in this post

Been using it to even check the Foundry as well as Extractors. Perhaps some don't even know that such a thing exists? It's only been out for almost two years. [Strangely, it came out at about the same time as the Daily Tribute system. Almost as if DE wanted to give players a way to login without being on a console or PC].

Besides, we all know the reasoning behind the login rewards system and these kinds of threads just validates it. [kinda like the threads that bemoan some F2P thing or rather. The publishers tend to see these kinds of things as 'customer interest' and not 'customer complaints' regardless of the posters' intents.]
