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.

Really off-topic but that is usually described as "post-nut clarity".

Usually that's interpreted as more of a 'why did I do this' or something to that effect, thanks to the ennui that follows, at least in the circles I frequent at any rate

That would be "post-nut depression."

This isn't exactly a new thing, apart the forking "Heirloom 10 years Celebration" pack crap, albeit on different level, but it's more like game content that isn't available anymore for players to enjoy and for me to actually have a more distinct clue of what had happened in that timespan period, I was forced to research and to read about Operation: Scarlet Spear[warframe.fandom.com] from the 'UnOfficial' WarFrame (WF) Wiki'[warframe.fandom.com].

And on a different take about the "FoMO" ("fear of missing out"), I really would like to be able to play Operation: Scarlet Spear, even if as an event, because at that time I wasn't able to due to several IRL work related overload and didn't had enough spare time to spend upon gaming. And tbh, that's one of the few pet peeves that I've got against WF. And somewhat furthering that argument is that Digital Extremes (DE) always tends to deploy new: game modes; content islands; and/or types missions but rather rarely irons those bugs out and/or properly fleshes those modes in to being an enough decent reason for players to spend their time upon after the initial flare.
Since DE is such a successfull multibillion Dollars company they at least could try and dash in some quality into their previous released work inside WF, apart only reworking what they deem fit and/or nerfing what breaks their idea of "game balance".

On and off player since closed beta... there's not much FOMO, only Nightwave but none of that ♥♥♥♥ really matters, Umbra forma used to be a big deal but nowadays most of the best build don't even use them. There's also mods in there but you can buy them from other players for relatively cheap if you really want them

This is an on and off game for me for years, I don't feel any FOMO

Edit: By years we are talking 10+ years apparently, still no FOMO playing maybe 20% of the time, master rank legendary 2. Like I said Nightwave is literally the only FOMO mechanic but it really doesn't matter that much, cosmetics repeat and most anything else can be bought from players. If you haven't played the market yet you're probably sitting on a goldmine of plat, check warframe.market

This is what Orphix Venom is, minus a bit of fluff- I do agree that having to read fluff on a wiki (and Fandom of all godforsaken places) is dumb, we need an ingame grimoire tbh

for me, as casual players , i don't feel there are a lot of FOMO in this game, IIRC only founder packs and heirloom (but mostly cosmetic, skana prime and lato prime is outshadowed by many weapons out there, excal prime is just skin for me, umbra is even cooler)

i am genuinely surprised at how many people are unaware of the number of limited event cosmetics and goodies that came and went as obscure as some of them are i figured people here would know more than the 3 or 4 getting mentioned

Because nobody cares about glyphs this does not qualify as fomo they are the most useless cosmetic i've ever seen in any game ever, literally just a tiny square at the top left of your screen that you can't see very clearly and that other people can't see unless they go out of their way to watch your profile which they don't, and cosmetics in general aren't fomo.

If you fomo on cosmetics that's a you problem not a game problem and you deserve to get your money taken away from you to put to better use.

There's a lot more but I'm getting tired of pulling the list, and the point has been made.

In fairness some of these could come back, but we know a lot won't. In particular Tennocon cosmetics, old event emblems, Mixer syandana, etc will be like pulling teeth to get an answer about a rerelease from DE, and will almost certainly be labelled as permanent exclusives. I'll happily be wrong and I wish I was, but there's a massive laundry list of stuff that will never return.

This is why I hate permanent exclusives. The entire premise is silly, no matter how cool it is to have something "exclusive" you will at some point have to put the shoe on the other foot and get locked out of something you otherwise could've enjoyed.

Everything at some point should return even if it's extremely hard to obtain as a consequence for missing the window the first time. Hell, I'd be satisfied for a one in a million drop chance just to know that it's possible.

Not to have my words confused this doesn't mean that all events are bad, or exclusivity is bad. Limited exclusivity is fine and to be specific... miss the window wait a couple years and now there's a dedicated path to acquire it. This is for the most part the model Warframe uses, but stuff falls between the cracks, or in grey areas like Excal prime and console/ platform specific items.

the truth get buried under DE dicklickers

You got that backwards, it gets buried under reactionary naysayers who bring up the most pedantic nonsense and try to pass it off as a point, and who rely on vapid yesmen such as yourself to engage in mob mentality for a facade of legitimacy.

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)

I also wish they would turn those into quests. There is so much missing lore that new players just will never get to experience because they were tied exclusively to events.
