the fomo really bums me out

[LadyJade90]

been playing since i first got my ps4 years ago close to its release on and off (because real life sucks) and i every time i come back i see more fomo things I've missed out on that i never had any chance of getting and it seems never will. honestly its super demoralizing. skins for frame or weapons that i'd happily buy or grind for but will never be able to solely because i wasn't around, or i was poor, or in one case in a month long coma followed by 2+ months of rehab. i get short term fomo as a sales thing but honestly the "never bringing" back thing just feels like i'm being punished for not playing this game 24/7 forgoing my actual life. i cant be on this game constantly and i dont have an infinite wallet to buy anything the moment its available.

Specific examples, please. The only "never to return" items I know of are Excalibur Prime and his weapons and those two Mag and Frost skins that were way overpriced anyway.

You could technically count the operations/clan events in the past but I'm pretty sure all the rewards from those events are accessible now

(im still on team make old operations into quests if they had important story content)

...there is FOMO in Warframe?

Excalibur prime, lato prime, skana prime, Mag and frost heirloom skins. As far as i know these are the fomo that never will come back. If this small stuff make you feel super demoralizing, i think you should never play warframe in the first place.

Because of seems like you are priotising something that are very niche compare tons of other stuff that you can get and do in warframe that have nothing to do with fomo.

There are only a few items out of the thousands that are never coming back like Excal Prime with his weapons or Mag/Frost heirlooms. Everything else is either added to the game permanently in some way or they eventually come back for people to grab.

Given the timing of their post, I'm going to guess they're talking about Nightwave? It's always around this time that you start seeing posts complaining about missing out on it, or not having enough time to grind it all out in one week.

Then it will come back because the rewards will be add again either in a credits shop of next nightwave or as rewards in the nightwave itself. (might be 2 or more of new NW season)

Yes, Fear of missing out is complete ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. No matter how small it is. Excal prime for example, is far more important to me than all frames combined, or 90% of content combined for that matter, yet i'll never get to experience what its like to be him (without illegal methods ofc) all because i only discovered warframe about 5-6 years ago.

Someone has got to feel that way for the frost/mag skins too, someone who has a main of them, but didn't have the $80 at that point in their life. As far as the Nightwave stuff goes, it's annoying, but at least it'll be back some day. Unlike the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ situation that excal prime is in. It could be a lot worse. Imagine if they made Actual POWER fomo. Like a one-week run of an item that could boost your warframes strength by 700%.

What i suggest is to just remember its just a game, and that all real-world problems/situations easily take priority over any game. Know that some day, competition will exist, and that these thick-headed scumbags that run the game now, will either be replaced/fired or out of a job when competition does finally arrive and does everything better then warframe. Nothing last forever.

A bit extreme, there.
Exclusive founder packs that literally saved DE's financial ass is a far cry from being a scumbag.

Most of those things come around from Bari Ki'Teer the Void Trader every two weeks - Tennocon weapons like the Vastelok and Gotva Prime have definitely come back at least once each from Baro.

His store can be disappointing sometimes, especially since he only shows every two weeks - but, it is a source of some very good stuff.

That's a really extreme take for something not nearly worth it. Founders' rewards are an exclusive thing rather than something people coming late to the party miss just by virtue of being late. Many people back then didn't get it either because they didn't support the devs as much as the Founders did.

Other than those rewards, all people these days miss by being late to the party are a few cosmetics and the experience of events, which by their nature can't always be experienced by everyone anyway. Personally, I came to the game 7 years late, then took a break for 3 years and came back just a couple months ago. As far as gameplay goes, I am only missing 1 weapon out of the entire array of items the game has, and only because that weapon is a Day 700 login reward.

Those things can also be purchased at any time from other players, so even if he hasn't had some item for months it can still be obtained whenever.

True.

The only other things I can think of are particular Mods, like the 60/60 damage mods, which can also be traded from other players.

Skins or color packs I'm not sure can be traded, but I've never tried to trade for them. Baro does carry them, though.

At some point I decided the only healthy way to play Warframe is to be able to turn the cheek from FOMO.

While the game play is sincerely fun you'll burn out trying to keep up with every new event, rep rewards, dailies/weeklies (nightwaves, Kahl, sorties, archons, Duviri, etc), relics for Baro as well as recipes, and grinding for a sea of island content materials.
Plus - if you're new - unlocking the star chart, steel path, and completing the main story quests - some of which some people report spend multiple days on.

It's not healthy to actually feel like you need to keep up on all of this at once. And since a lot of things are limited time you will feel like you didn't play enough. So you get a lot of people that play much more than they actually want to play. I was one of those people.

Eventually I had to learn to just decide what sounded fun in the moment and ignore the rest. Usually that was an endurance run with friends.

Literally none of those things are FOMO besides Nightwave, which has enough passive challenges to complete the whole season way before it ends by just playing the game as you want.
