New war: Don't play it.

[Zerfyx]

New war sucks. And the best part is, since it sucks so much you don't want to finish it, you can no longer play the game. 10/10 game design. If you're going to make something like that, maybe don't make it terrible?

219 Hours! Are you sure the game is the ♥♥♥♥? Or are you the ♥♥♥♥? And the game tells you that the mission will take a long time! Or were you not taught to read? [Google Translate]

It was difficult to get through but I rather enjoyed it. Having just returned after 4 or so years away from the game I managed despite my deteriorated skills. Just keep at it. It honestly doesn't take too long and the additions to the lore of the game are rather good, if I may be so bold ;) Best of luck to you.

if you hate new war i guess you will hate next duviri update too.

I hate some parts of The New War but a good thing is you only need to complete it once.
Still better than some other games where the mission restart from the beginning when you failed.

It's a main story quest. If it's not completed, there are other content and quest you cannot play/access. The stealth parts also not that hard or actually bad like what SMALL MINORITY people make it. You base your opinion entirely just base on one thread of people who hate it, so of course you will hate it too.

The quest is entirely different game play and game style unlike the fast pace and crazy abilitie and weapon spam space ninja, Why is it like that? because it's the story line and narrative of what currently happens in warframe universe and in fact it's really suit the plot. If you are someone who doesn't care about the game story and just want to enjoy fast pace, abilities/weapon spam so yeah it's understandable you will hate it.

Anyway, you still need to do it whether you like it or not for content progress. The quest also have been here for a long time. Many people like it, the stats is showing that aside of loud small minority that keep saying how much they hate it.

I think the stealth part was the worst part of the quest. I do think most people agree with that. But the quest itself is great. The stealth part is like a few minutes of a couple hours it takes to complete it.

I will agree that it's by far the worst part of the quest, "drifter" in general is, with the stealth being the bottom of the barrel. And as is said before, i do like the story, the quest, so to say. But that stealth really soured it for me. Again, personal preference. Though i will say, the last (I belive) boss fight is pretty terrible as well.

Being a person that recently complained about "The New War" quest, I still adored the stealth elements that the initial Drifter mission(s) required me to do.
Heck, I enjoyed all of it apart the last boss' when having to hit those Narmer lenses dead on while using fragmented Lotus's blasts to be reflected upon me to hit those.

But then again, in a "Space Ninjas" game I'm quite sure by now that I'm one of the few that enjoys using their brain prowess to keep it as stealthier as possible instead of the more commonly approach to go all in guns ablazing rush sort of thing.

Agree, they where a bit weak - though I am not complaining solely for the fact that they had that AoE barrier that was kinda rage inducing until you find out how to avoid being pushed away.

Cut the bubble range in half (maybe not half, but 25% smaller would be nice), dial the damage up a little, and add a bit more armor to each and I could see them being a fun fight.

Again, imho, that's more like a lack of trying to be imaginative / resourceful than anything else. I've figured out on my own that Boreal's AoE barrier could be bypassed down by my Drifter's Smoke Screen and then hitting it on the screeching head, where it hurted.
It took me just a while longer to figure out Amar's image copy-cats and using Drifter's Sonar to figure out which one was the real deal without having to go throught most of'em of trying to see which one had the weapons in hand (and it was way easier with the Sonar too).
And since I did Nyra with no fusses at all from my 1st run at The New war, followed by Amar I only believe that Boreal was the real harder one to figure out when facing it upon their own arena because it implied you to be constantly moving to avoid its teleporting near you while you recovered from the cooldown time period between being able to cast Sonars. Doing it as the 3rd and last Archon was quite easy because by that time you already were able to shift into Void Mode to remain invisible and then easily pierce that AoE protective bubble of his.
For ex., I either took my Dera Vandal or my Rubico Prime into that mission alongside with Ivara, coupled with a Supress'ed Epitaph, Skiajiatti since it was already fit to face Sentients alongside with its own few invisble seconds when doing stealth kills and still hadn't regretted it one bit.

That or, as an alternative, any invisible sort like skill from WF's or using a Wisp's passive coupled with the Aero Vantage Exilus mod to allow you to remain standing still invisible in mid air while aim gliding with a silent weapon or modded in such a manner as I tend to do with a few of mine (like for instance my Zenith).

It'd be a shame if someone broke the combo...

Btw, your judgment is based on your personal inability to finish the game mode? Oh boy, there's this term that people normally use on this forum, especially in this occasion... But, I'd rather not say that...

Cheer up, OP. You can do it! Godspeed!

[Warsome【★】]

yep, quest design was always bad. they topped themselves with that one

[LegacyXI]

Yep spot on. It was not difficult, but it was boring I almost didn't want to keep going through it. Only thing that really made me want to keep going was the new bow which is busted.

It's not boring if it's pissing you off. It's more like infuriating.

Boring is for something so easy and yet you are doing it over and over again, borderline tedious.

gf and i didnt have an issue, its just a video game. youre acting as if DE robbed you and also sad telling someone not to do it just because you couldnt handle it yourself, i hope no one listens to this "advice"
