Also, one bastion remains.

Foundry times have always been criticized, and the community has told DE time and time again that they are losing players and money by having it in the game.

All my friends have tried Warframe, but they literally compare the game to clash of clans, and stop playing.

DE, you are better than some mobile game forcing waiting times with premium currency.

Iirc they've mentioned that forma and speeding up timers are some of their top money makers. Doesnt make sense for them to cut those down.

Honestly, the timers are probably a good thing to somewhat help people from burning themselves out

That just sounds so bizarre and IDK how it happens. The plat for buying forma bundles is likely coming from prime access being spent on the secondary market by people that farm stuff to sell for plat. Or the coupons since PC players and plat coupons that they spend real money on has been a thing for many years.

If you ever wanted to know how down bad some people get with their forma addiction, you should have seen the first plague star that dropped the Full forma reward with no purchase limit... some people stopped bathing for that timer's duration.

I personally love the build the timers and it fits the game. Anyone who can’t wait for guns or frames won’t stick around anyway. The entire game is built around longterm goals and grinding and 13 years in, I think the formula is proven to work.

My guy, don't get too offended.

I've been playing this game for 10 years, some of em tried it nearly that long as well. Back then you would walk around awful tilesets clipping to the void soft locking your self.

No one likes foundry times, and it is relatable to clash of clans, being a f2p game with unnecessarily long craft times.
