Warframe: Hildryn & Phase 1 Melee Changes - MMORPG.com
Because the combat system in Warframe is continuously evolving with parkour, flying, mod changes, new warframes with unique abilities, and plans, the changes to melee are going to be released in phases. Releasing in stages also ensures the changes do not break too much of the other aspects of the game all at once. Smaller bite-sized chunks of drastic changes give the developers a good foundation for feedback. So far the new melee changes feel like an upgrade to me, but I have noticed some weird results to the changes.

Thank you for your time!

In order to be insulted, I must first value your opinion.
Secondly, there are many uses for your melee in Warframe. AoE, health recovery, blocking, crowd control, and the general high power of slash status.
Thirdly, there are entire warframes (Valkyr, Excalibur, Wukong, etc.) designed around maximizing your melee effectiveness.
I agree with Aaron that open world was not enjoyable simply cause people don't want to work together they just rush stuff so fast that by the time to you get there it is already done or mostly done.
But the thing that has really killed it for me is the new Nightwave update. It removed most alerts which allowed for an easy way back into the game after a break. Also inducing massive choice paralysis I have every node in the game unlocked so basically 250+ choices when I jump in seems like a good thing but unless you have a specific goal in mind when going in you have a hard time deciding where to start. Alerts helped with this requiring only 3 choices: Do I want the reward, can I do it power wise, what Warframe do I feel like playing. Nightwave also makes the game feel infinitely more grindy to me. It was already a very grindy game but enjoyable but Nightwave makes it feel like a 11 on a scale of 1-10. There are other reasons why I have uninstalled Warframe for the first time since it came out on steam but nightwave is the main one.
Wonderful praise that gamers can rejoice in.
Ive played and paid 5 bucks (special one time discount). Melee has been never viable in this game. Everything is time gated or you need to defend where melee is a huge disadvantage because you cannot get there in time to swing your weapon. Also melee weapons scale like dogshit on highest difficulty aka endgame raids/runs.
Melee has never been viable??? We can all now safely ignore everything you say about Warframe.

Yes, I agree, this person has probably never played this game.

Ember is almost useless doing anything above level 30 enemies. She's bottom tier right now. Her World on Fire got nerfed into the ground. I don't think you or the other guy are even above MR 10 when you make statements like that.

Timed game designs are never in favor of melee when you have the option of guns. You just cant compete with the amass of incoming horde monsters. I can wipe whole armys in seconds before you even turn around.
And you're still wrong. You can kill stuff just as good with melee as you can with guns, esp. with the Infested, but you wouldn't know that since I doubt you've done anything above level 30 star chart stuff.

I also just got the first 75% off plat discount in 3-4 years of off and on playing. I just bought the frame slots for the four Warframes that've been sitting in the forge for the past six - eight months. I've also got about 30 weapons in the forge ready to go. So my epeen will be growing over the next couple of months. Does that satisfy you?
The melee weapon is there for utility, defense, and self-sustain. There will be plenty of cases in which it is the best tool for damage, but you often will be reliant on your firearms or abilities. If that wasn't true, Warframe wouldn't offer that level of variety in the first place.

Normally I play Melee when necessary, as I prefer ranged, but today, just to prove a point I have been all melee and again, no issues.
Saying Melee isn't viable is just asinine. Will it work in every situation? No, but it just as viable as going ranged.

Cash shop gaming is bullshit,no excuses accepted.Sell the dam game and be done with it,quit trying to exploit dumbass spenders.it is like dangling a beer in front of an alcoholic.
Sell the game,imo worth $30,then if it is good you will have no problem selling expansions.If your game is not good that you can't simply sell it instead of baiting and luring people in on the free monicker,then FIX IT,make it good enough.
Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.
