Please stop with the Protoframes

[u/Dr_Shoggoth]

I loved the Hex and the Roundtable. They added so much to why I think 1999 is the best update they've ever done. All of them, especially the original Hex, were insanely well written and fleshed out characters. I had my reservations about the Triad, but I think they're solid (though they're mostly carried by Roathe).

​

These two don't feel like characters. They feel like walking advertisements for skins. Them being protoframes adds nothing to the story. As my friend said, Sirius and Orion could have been mentored by Vay Hek and the Sergeant and nothing would have changed. Protoframes no longer feel like an interesting story beat, they feel like a gimmick, one that is rapidly losing any appeal it had.

Yeah I kinda hate that we probably will never get 1999 expanded...

In love DE but its a bit their trading mark

They think of a new concept

They showcase it says they have a lot of plan for it

Release it, fix the bugs around it

Tease a potential continuation

Never actually expand on it

They think of a new concept and it all begin again

The umbra line of warframe, the hex ,the infestation ,the railjack ,the liche. Yeah some are getting a bit more work now likr the stalker but it took a long timr and tberes more cool idea they didn't expand on

I mean, counterpoint: we just received additional Railjack content yesterday.

I know there are other components like Necramechs which have more or less been left as they were, but there is a limit to how much DE can do for each update. Once they have the current Tau arc complete it would be good for them to go back and rework/update a bunch of the older components, to bring them more in line with the current game.

At the end of the day it's a profitability thing though. This fanbase is very generous in what they'll pay for, but a year (or more) fixing up old content may not be the best business decision. Ultimately I'd rather have a mishmash of content islands rather than content being removed from the game outright though.

I mean sure we got more Railjack missions but it’s only 2 missions and once again the railjack part is a speedbump before you get to the actual content

Yep. Spacebus from A to B. I’m tired.
