What do you do while waiting for things to finish building?

[Ben]

Honestly I think they made the times a bit to long, I mean 3 days for a frame to finish? I recently started building the parts for 2 new frames, so I'm basically waiting 4 days for my 2 new frames to finish and have no idea what to do while waiting.

I don't have anything to level up since I'm still waiting for things to be built.

Great right when I was excited about the game. Let me guess, if you pay real money you can instantly build? -_-

You will reach a point where you have a backlog of things that have finished crafting. Just pick from the list, rank it up to 30 and throw it away/build another weapon from it. Unless it's a particularly good weapon, in which case you'll keep it, design a mod loadout for it, and love it until something is better than it.

Sure you could, but it's really not a good idea. That would add up to some serious cash. Eventually, you'll have so much building at once that you'll be constantly picking up new things from your foundry.

I do agree that some of the build times seem a little long, though - you're looking at a minimum 84 hour build time per frame. (12 to build the systems, chassis, and helm, 72 to assemble the frame)

I mean everything else is fun, I just really hate this part of the game and don't understand why they would do it(aside from the people paying real money to instantly build).

Probably to extend the "gameplay" and stuff. Something game theory once said about F2P being addictive because of wait times.

Yeah and I understand they need to make money, it's a great game expecially for being free. I would rather just pay $60 and have the game lol

Oh snap, I also forgot to answer the OP's actual question - while my stuff is building, I gather the materials to build more stuff. Constantly adding more things to my build queue is the only way to keep getting new things every day.

1) Use your currently available frame(s) to farm for more rare resources like O. Cells, Neural Sensors, etc. You can never have enough of them.
2) Do Void missions to get more Prime parts and forma blueprints. You can never have enough of them.
3) Level or forma your gear to lvl30. You can always forma stuff to make them better.
4) Play other games.
5) Go to work/school like everybody else

3 days pass by quicker than you think with the above.

The same thing you would do if you would have what you're waiting for? I mean, unless you're solely building things in order to gain experience, then you should have various things you were doing before.

But you can't. So adapt and plan ahead.

[arkhamthecat]

I buy some weapons if I am that desperate. Otherwise, I just help other people. But I am MR 9 its extremely rare if that happens since there is so much for me to do.

[Ben]

Any easy frames to get like Frost/Valykr that have parts dropping from low level bosses? I could do them while I wait.

How many games have you seen where you can pay $60 up front and then not a single cent afterrwards last over 2 years and still bring new free content out constantly??? None. Why? well this is because the cost of adding the new content and maintaining the servers needed for the game still cost money so the longer the game is alive for the greater the loss for the company and that is just bad business.

Guild Wars 2, Borderlands, on and on and on. I would rather pay $15 a month than have full fledged PC games have pay models like piece of junk mobile phone games. This is not Candy Crush. I don't mind paying for expansions, the game itself, and even monthly fees. This micro-transaction BS needs to stop. It won't because people defend it, like you. This is a great game, there is no need to have micro-transactions. You will end up paying more than what it's worth this way. If you are fine with that so be it.

The idea is to give players an incentive to pay money rather than forcing you to. If you really wanna complain about having to spend money, then i can refer you to a list of other games that will make you grateful things are as simple as they are in Warframe.

Well, you have a few options

• Do some quests that you haven't completed yet
  
• Do some Void missions and get some prime gear you want. That, or some Vault Runs
  
• Go on a node-clearing spree around the solar system
  
• Sell-off your rare prime parts and mods. Make some plat so you can just rush the build if you so desire
  
• Help some new players with their missions in Recruit chat

There are countless things you can do to pass the time.

Microtransations are senseless period dot. You get less for your money. That is fact.
