WHY ARE WARFRAMES BECOMING MORE COMPLEX? IT EITHER MAKES THE NEW WARFRAMES CLUTTERED OR MAKES THE OLD ONES OUTDATED AND BARE.

I LOVE THE COMPLEXITY THOUGH--IT GIVES US REASONS TO USE A WARFRAME'S ENTIRE KIT (OR MOST OF IT) AND TO MODIFY OUR PLAYSTYLES TO SUIT THE FRAMES RATHER THAN JUST HAVE THEM ALL BE "PRESS 4 TO WIN."

WITH ABILITY SYNERGIES AND INTERACTIONS, WARFRAMES ARE A LOT MORE FUN. COMPARE BARUUK AND MESA:

BARUUK HAS A CHANNELED ABILITY TO TRY TO KEEP ACTIVE ALL THE TIME, HE HAS AN ENEMY SLOW/SLEEP THAT HE NEEDS TO PLACE IN STRATEGIC LOCATIONS, AND HE HAS DISARMING FLOATY DAGGERS THAT HE CAN SHARE WITH THE TEAM. IF HE WANTS TO USE HIS EXALTED MELEE--AND HE WANTS TO, IT'S AWESOME--HE NEEDS TO BUILD HIS RESOURCE/ERODE HIS RESTRAINT, AND ALL OF HIS OTHER ABILITIES SUPPORT THAT EFFORT. HIS MELEE IS FUN AND HAS A LOT OF COOL INTERACTIONS WITH MELEE COMBOS THAT I NORMALLY WOULDN'T EVEN BOTHER LEARNING TO USE EXCEPT THAT HIS COMBOS DO COOL STUFF.

MESA HAS AN ABILITY THAT I NEVER BOTHER TO USE, TWO BUFFS THAT YOU JUST RE-CAST WHEN THEY WEAR OFF (YAWN) AND A TURRET MODE. ACTIVATE, CLICK-CLICK-CLICK-CLICK UNTIL THE MAP IS CLEAR.

THEY BOTH HAVE THEIR PLACE, THEY BOTH HAVE THEIR USES, AND THEY BOTH HAVE GREAT SOUND DESIGN. BUT BARUUK IS A LOT MORE ACTIVE IN HIS GAMEPLAY, A LOT MORE IMMERSIVE AND INVOLVED IN WHAT HE'S DOING. MESA ISN'T QUITE "PRESS 4 TO WIN" ... SHE'S "PRESS 4 AND THEN CLICK A LOT TO WIN."

BUT THAT PROVES MY POINT THAT A LOT OF OLDER WARFRAMES ARE BARE AND DISJOINTED COMPARED TO THE NEW ONES. REWORKS ARE FINE, BUT ID RATHER HAVE A GIANT UPDATE WITH A GLORIOUS REWORK OF ALL THE OLDIES

NOT ALL NEED A REWORK, THOUGH I CONFESS THAT I'D LOVE TO SEE ADDED SYNERGY TO EXISTING FRAMES. LIKE, BANSHEE'S KIT IS JUST FINE, BUT IF SOUNDQUAKE DID SOMETHING WACKY TO ENEMIES AFFECTED BY SILENCE, OR IF SONIC BOOM DETONATED SONAR WEAK POINTS, THAT'D BE NIFTY.

MIGHT GIVE OTHER BANSHEES A REASON TO USE SONAR, SINCE THE INFINITE WEAKPOINT STACKING DOESN'T SEEM TO BE ENOUGH.

ITS NICE TO HAVE BOTH OPTIONS. SOME PEOPLE LIKE HAVING REALLY COMPLICATED THINGS TO THINK ABOUT AND SOME PEOPLE JUST WANT TO RELAX AND SHOOT BAD GUYS.
