Is there actually any point to play Duviri?
Like: what exactly can I get there and unlock that I can then use outside of Duviri? Can I use the mount on every other content island or just Duviri? Is there anything worthwhile to farm for other than blades for the operator/drifter? I'm mastery level 28 and already finished basically everything and anything one can do in this game, including playing through the Duviri story through once.

This is of course before factoring into the farming of arcanes, which require us to farm intrinsics first. Considering the fact that most of my enjoyment of Duviri came from staring at bugged decree screens and watching enemies get stuck on the terrain I don't expect myself to be sticking to Duviri at this time.

Look, I understand that unlocking things in a video game should require effort, but I shouldn't have to play the same mission up towards a hundred or more for the sake of a dopamine hit.

The swords. You can buy them for currency from orowyrm

"Can I use the mount on every other content island or just Duviri?"
yes you can. Read the riding Intrinsics.

" Is there anything worthwhile to farm for other than blades for the operator/drifter?"
Core of this game is grinding new stuff. As you wrote, you can farm blades for operator and warframe. You answer yourself the question.

"I'm mastery level 28 and already finished basically everything and anything one can do in this game, including playing through the Duviri story through once."
You cant use "I'm mastery level 28" (its mastery rank) and "finished basically everything" in one sentence. Im rank 31 and I have a lot to do. You are half way through the game... you didnt even get max Intrinsics and you complain about not enough content, about point to play duviri. Farming is point to play duviri. This game is about farming/grinding.

Of course private profile. Show your "MaStErY LeVeL 28"

outside of the intrinsics themselves(some of wich apply to outside duviri content) , one of the highlights sure is the incarnon updates to a bunch of the old outdated weapons, thats been a fun ride so far. i'ld recommend to check that out, skipper.

as for you, adikos. bit aggressive, are you?

you can totally say say mr 28 and finished everything in one sentence. ive been on this game for over 10y and just recently hit mr 29.

edit2: some rudeness i coulde just not done has been edited out, unnecessary.

being under mr30 and having "seen that, been there" in warframe isn't mutually exclusive.

edit: bit of additional detail.

A lot of veterans, including myself. Are getting increasingly fed up with part of the player base that has done nothing but complain.

Constructive criticism is most welcomed, but these forms of complaints we have been getting for almost every update seems to stems from burn out, without acknowledging it.

These players are complaining seemingly for the sake of complaining, while doing absolutely nothing to alleviate their supposed issues or conditions.

A lot of them are complaining, when they have not given the actual contents a chance, by which meaning having the willingness of actually come to understanding of what it really offers, and how it works.

Actual veterans have been dealing, hearing these sorts of ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ for almost 10 years straight. We love Warframe, and we want to have a community we can bond with. But we all lack the ability to forcefully separate the bad part of the community from the game we love, hence the understandable aggression.

Just imagine having someone put a growing pile of ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ on your favourite dish during dinner time. It's hard to stay nice.

Bruh... I forgot about Incarnon from Duviri. Shame

i can see your point, especially after duviri and alot of the backlash it received that just felt completely out of place for an update that detailed and fresh.
did weird me out, too.
though if i take a look and compare forums to my in-mission social experiences, i can say that i very very rarely see someone going postal, usually its what it's been just about all the time, some light hearted fun small conversation in between the shooting and stabbing :>

one of the things i love about this game. situational comedy that just naturally happens while playing stuff, and everyone pickin up on it and havin a good time.

(just yesterday when i rolled a real bad loadout for the circuit, but we ended up having a vauban. so i just mag-pulled the entire map into his vortex endlessly (outside of overguard of course) :D and we had a field day. hehehe.)

i understand the forums are weird and while this thread has a lot of "couldve just looked it up and informed himself better before asking other to do it for him" vibes to it, i think he ain't one of those coming here and crapping all over the place for the sake of it.

other than that, i already liked the new war as a pretty fresh update for what it offered on its story alone, and duviri just feels good so far, imHo.

@Skipper, let me say it like this, the roguelike circuit has been a fun ride for me and the people i play with so far, and while its nature will eventually lead to one rolling real bad loadouts, it still has the make-it-work-regardless charme to it. the incarnons that completely overcharge some of the old weapons are just the extra vanilla on top of the cheesecake to me.
Wintermute May 31, 2023 @ 9:01am 
I'm definitely farming some of those incarnons. Paris, Boltor and Dread were my starting weapons. Will be really nice to dust them off.

It's a lot less about asking a question that could've looked up.
It's more about asking a question with bad faith, and attitude.

Personally, I used to love helping new players, to a certain degree I still do.
But asking a question with bad faith indicates they weren't genuinely trying to learn, but instead asking a question in a rhetorical way in order to imply a certain notion.

Sure, OP in question can be as you say, just aren't one of those. Maybe it's just language barrier. But after 10 years, players like me really couldn't give enough of a ♥♥♥♥ to identify which is which, seeing as bad faith players are just seemingly in overwhelming amount in forum spaces.

just because you spent more time grinding than making other progress does not mean everyone has done the same. i'm MR29, and i i really have to do is finish the steel path starmap, farm archons, and grind out some of the harder to grind weapons (if i dont decide to just buy them off the market.) this has been true since i was MR 25 or so, maybe even earlier, barring the new content that i finish an hour or two after release.
Skipper May 31, 2023 @ 12:16pm 
Dunno what part of my post indicates I am "fed up" or "complaining", as some of the posters here seem to assume, but OK. I was simply asking a question if it's worth to spend more time and effort INTENSIVLY into the new content or if the content can be ignored or skipped for the time being until there is more stuff in the future to do, as in: I'm not missing out on much for now so there is no need to rush or be pressured into playing it beyond the main storyline.

1. What the heck does my profile have to do with my mastery level like it's some status symbol I have to prove having? I've been playing this game since the beta and was here for literally every single piece of content. I don't have to prove anything to anyone lol. It's a meaningless rank in a video game, not a doctor title.

2. Imagine thinking you smart but then fail to even do basic research on how the mastery and leveling system works. Yikes. Mastery Level 28 is basically the point of end-end-endgame, given the technical max level is 30 + legendary ranks that are essentially just prestige. But sure. You are totally mastery level 31.

3. I don't see the point, nor reason, to have to max out literally every single point in Railjack or Duviri in order to be able to claim that I've seen and done basically everything this game has to add. I've played every single frame, cleared all nodes, played every single mission and gamemode to death, maxed out standing with every single syndicate once, got all their offerings that I needed and wanted, used and mastered like 80-90% of all weapons (majority which I bought with plantium cause I didn't want to grind days or weeks for the parts and materials) etc. I'm as up to date as one can be and even if I don't have literally 100% of every item and point in my inventory, that doesn't exclude me from calling myself a veteran of this game lol.

It takes 732,500 mastery points to reach from MR 28 > LR 3.
732,500 can consists of -

244 weapons / kitgun chambers / zaw strikes / amp prisms / sentinel weapons / archwing weapons.

122 frames / companions / archwings / k-drives / plexus / necramechs

Obviously since we don't have access to your in-game profile, we can't determine just exactly what combination of items you're missing. But suffice to say, you're missing on a LOT of levelable items. Presumably items that you can't just buy outright.

The curious irony at hand is that, you said the purpose of this thread, is asking others if it is worth the time to invest in Duviri, but then go on to state that by your own subjective opinion that, it is "no point, no reason" to max out everything.

This is why I said the way you worded your thread has given me a reasonable suspicion that you're seeking to complain with a rhetorical question. Because you've already made up your mind about the topic, by your own definition of what's worth the time or not.

If you don't want to play with the new toys Warframe has put out, I think it's reasonable to say that you're experiencing burn out. Because what else is there to do, like you said it's just a video game. And if you aren't going to enjoy the new contents, then why are you here?

Warframe has always been, and always will be. The same main course, but to eat it with different utensil. That's literally the core structure and concept of every looter shooter out in the existence. Every expansion / update Warframe has, are just side dish that offers you different utensil to eat the main course with.

Either you enjoy the different utensils provided by the game, and out to try them all, or be content with eating the same meal, with the same utensil. Which ultimately, remove the entire need for you to ever ask - Is XYZ content worth doing. Because whatever you have right now, works, and will work for at least another 2~4 years to come.

PS. The "intensively" effort for me to tackle all Duviri content, was only the first 2~3 days. Then it's every Sunday 1~2 hours of SP Circuit, 2~3 runs of Duviri Lone Story, and an additional 1 hour to max out the new toys. If you can't be arsed to deal with that little level of commitment, if it's not burn out, I don't know what you would call that.

Also. About 60~80% of Warframe's content is optional, can be ignored, and skipped. The fact that you haven't realised this is why I'm personally questioning the validity of you calling yourself a "veteran". How could one plays for 10 years, since "beta", and still haven't figured out Warframe's pattern, you've either got to be daft, or talking out of your ass. But I digress.

/thread

The point of playing any game is to enjoy it. If you don't then don't play, it's pretty simple really.

afaik, it's the only way to get mats to craft incarnon adapter guns, which are currently the most powerful weapons in the game.
Hauzer May 31, 2023 @ 5:33pm 
The Circuit/Steel Path is what it's about, Incarnons + other good rewards and focus. The other modes are basically for Pathos Clamps/resources. The normal circuit is also great for noobs or potentially building hard to get frames for the helminth
