Steel Path is not the endgame I was wanting

[Lui2D2]

I may be a MR 15 (16?) and have at least 1k hours in Warframe, but I'm having trouble with 80+ level enemies as is, not even the +100 levels that happens with the Steel Path. Could we maybe negotiate it down to +50 levels so it doesn't feel so jarringly elitists and gatekeeping in literally my favourite game since I was hooked some years ago?

OP,

It sounds like you want the game to fit your loadout rather than adjusting your loadout to fit the game.

Steel Path is not hard AT ALL. It can be cheesed in SO many ways.

For example, an invisible Loki + literally ANY melee can get you through about 90% of the star chart. Then all you need is a defense frame for the Def and MDef missions, and you're good to go.

If anything, I think Steel Path should be HARDER. Like, +200 or so....

[FlyBoogy]

It's not that challenging to be honest. Even if you solo it it's pretty easy to get through. And boring. The rewards are pathetic and that's me being nice.

''Steel Path is not the endgame I was wanting''
it is never meant to be endgame

Read more news next time
DE has already confirmed it is not an endgame

If you have troubles against lvl 80 enemies then you haven't even scratched the almost non existant endgame in warframe to begin with.
Besides, steel path was never meant to be endgame.

Just run heat on a primary(baza works well) and viral on melee, heat strips armor quicker than corrosive and viral half's health so it's and quick and easy kill on all grineer. Max ur builds if u can't kill them yet then go back and try

Yeah your info is outdated.
Heat strips armor only to 50%, corrosive now only up to 80% instead of 100% and viral no longer halves health but instead increases damage dealt up to 325%

Wait... they will eventually lock frames and maybe even a relic into it.

Then.. your journey into pay to win.. will be complete my young jedi.

For anyone who doesnt think this.. see Grendel..

Ah yes, the frame you can get by being taxi'd. Truly locked and impossible.

You seem to be forgetting the missions you have to run while all your mods are removed, and require a dedicated team with certain... frames..

Nice try though.

You can solo them. No need for a team.

Some people cant throw a 90mph fastball, therefore everyone can throw a 90mph fastball.

Some players can do mythic raiding, therefore all players can do mythic raiding.

Just because some people can do a task, does not mean every person can do that task.

If you can't do a task that doesn't require any skill from you but only a quick google search then seriously something wrong is about you, not me

Ok? Nice try what? What is the issue? It's not like it's hard to ask, there's a Recruiting chat tab for that reason. Some people cant throw a 90mph fastball, some can't throw a 90mph fastball. All can type in chat or ask for help though.

just one shot them

1k hours having trouble with steel path, ure doin something wrong, u either have most of the mods not maxed out or dont have some major mods at all ( also might use some questionable builds in general or something that is far from bein meta ), can u really complain about "difficulty" ( that this game does NOT have ) after 1k hours?
Edit: gotta admit thou, steel path really forces u to use top tier gear in some cases

Consider using a kuva nukor as an element appling stick, use primed smite mods and a slash melee and watch enemies melt in seconds. baro brought the smite mods on pc this time, pluto relay

Everyone in my clan and the friend i asked seem to think smite mods are horrible. That's also what it seemed to my newby eyes. Only 5% damage for the base one unranked, compared to the 15% damage of elemental ones or serration and the like.
Does it take place somewhere else in the damage calculation? Any reason why you suggest it?

[Shazbot!]

Messaggio originale di Addaran:

Does it take place somewhere else in the damage calculation?

A) It's multiplicative with total damage, aka another damage multiplier
B) it double dips slash/toxin/gas(rip) procs by increasing damage of proccing hit AND by increasing DoT's damage
