    I quickly max ranked both Solaris United and Osteron without getting too angry. Entrati? I’ve barely ranked them and I haven’t bothered with Lloid at all. I have zero interest in the way DE setup the token system and Entrati/Lloid will likely be the /last/ content I bother with. I dislike it so much I’ve started working through the Simaris offerings as scanning enemies is less annoying to me than grinding Entrati or Lloid rank.

    The token system would be great if I wasn’t forced to play every little bit of content in the Cambrian drift. I’m not fond of conservation, fishing is boring AF to me and mining is annoying but manageable for my brain. Thanks to the token system I’m /forced/ to run every little bit of content and then go ‘buy’ tokens (wtf DE?) for common, uncommon and rare resources. It’s very easy to not be able to buy tokens due to them costing some random blend of common/uncommon/rare resources (with time gating no less! seriously?!?) and even if you /do/ buy tokens, its best to exchange them for grandmother tokens which is a whole other level of time gated, random buys further forcing grinding and farming all the things.

    If I wanted to be forced to wander around an open world farming All The Fucking Things, I wouldnt be playing Warframe, I’d be playing an open world farming game.

    I really hope they do a re-balance pass like they did on Fortuna that eases this pain. I want nothing to do with the way they laid out the ranking mechanics for Entrati and Lloid.

    Set it up like the Holdfasts and Cavia. We can farm our syndicate standing via the hidden map treasures (void plumes / voca) on whatever map we like to engage with. We can also stock pile them and upgrade them to higher levels of rarity without too much pain to better manage daily standing limits over time. It goes quick, doesn’t fry your brain and allows you to avoid burnout on any one map/content type if needed.


  • I meant toxin, not corrosive. I’ve edited the post to fix that.

    I can run the farms you mention but they are a huge PITA when I’m not at my PC with the nice monitor and 4 paddle controller.

    This is for farming for when I’m burning time, waiting, sitting on the couch or similar. Essentially when I’m mobile and dont have a 4 paddle controller handy and/or large enough screen to see WTF I’m doing reliably.

    I’m optimizing for non-thoughtful farming that is reasonably efficient, not the most efficient overall.
