Steel Path already dead?

[Jordan_Peterson]

So I just unlocked it and tried to do ANY mission I can do after unlocking it and in none of the ~10 I clicked, I found any other person to play it with.
Like nobody wants to do sp missions? Come up DE. Fix that please.

Most people just do the 5 daily SP alerts, as they award Steel Essence. Otherwise, only Endless modes actually have any activity on SP.

yep, when I cleared steel path I had to do 80% of it solo.

You bust ass trying to clear stuff and you get normal money and experience it seems like, but supposedly you get an increase in resource spawns lol. Its funny to do a 30 min steel path survival and barely get anything. The only reason to play steel path is for the arcanes that drop from the acolytes. This is why alot of people play the daily steel path missions. The 5 steel essence helps as well. But when you get 25 for clearing a planet as a bonus, it makes more sense to do that.

With a good setup, you can easily solo the capture, exterminate and sabotage missions. But it takes some serious planning and dodging to do the more harder ones like hijack, interception and assassinations.

But if I can do it though....

Just solo Steel Path. Problem solved.

It’s just like the regular star chart, there’s no incentive to replay the SP star chart after you clear it the first time. There’s incentive to do the 5 dailies since there’s guaranteed Steel Essence for completing the missions

Yeah it's kind of weird that he doesn't want to solo everything in a multiplayer game. Oh wait a minute...

Maybe he can't, cuz he doesn't have everything to be op so he needs to be carried.
When I started SP it was hard, I didn't have many warframes with good builds, didn't have arcanes r5 either, it was rough to kill everything. Now it's just like killing enemies as fast as the normal star chart.

This. Doesn't exactly take much thought to get here, either. I'm sure you don't do random normal missions very often after clearing them, why would other people?

[Nukyo]

No incentive to do steel path. Do it just for the challenge.

You're better off just doing the 5 dailies for the extra essence. And they are random so over time you will complete the chart as you do them every day.

[Donitsi]

Steel Path doesn't offer anything new and fun challenge. Enemies only have boosted numbers that courage meta play even more.

[Radolf Hortler (Real F2P)]

clearing sp node is like 1 time thing for me and most people i believe so good luck finding randos lol

[Jordan_Peterson]

Yeah it is sad.
Missions take 3 times more time to finish but you only get twice the loot.
At least make so everyone wants to stay at this new "hard" mode and not switch back after he has done them.
If I do a harder mission it should give me an extra reward. Higher challenge higher reward.
The reward you get now is peanuts and useless to most endgame players.
they need to change that.

You need to google some builds and make a setup that can solo acolytes. Once you are able to do that, SP missions are a breeze. Regular enemies wont be a problem at this point anymore. Also nobody runs the regular missions for any other reason than to get arcanes from acolytes and just the dailies for essence.

Join a clan also will help. That way you get actually good teams that can tell you how to improve your builds too.

You dont need Max rank arcanes to clear SP solo. You dont need anything hard to get,lots of frames and weapons will work and melt SP enemies easy.

SP is the point where you finally see does your builds actually work,since on regular star chart anything works.

Acolytes spawn in SP missions every 3-8 minutes also. 3 in non-endless missions, and infinite amount in endless missions.

@they ruined baldurs gate

You get higher reward for the difficulty, its from the Acolytes. Nobody runs SP for the drop chance boost, its pointless, just run regular missions and you get everything you need much easier.

Kill Acolytes and get those arcanes. Those Arcanes are what endgame players want so they can improve their builds even more.
If you are taking that long, time to check your builds and see how to make them better. SP is easy once you know what you are doing.

[Sceles]

SP is meant for very seasoned players who have optimized their builds to the point where other content no longer provides any challenge. It's not for people who can't even handle their own weight.

Thats not a valid point. To clear steel path, you need octavia, continuity, stretch, intensify, any gun to break nullifier bubble.
