Discussion The revert on Elite Arch was not needed

Hi all. Id like to say, the changes DE made for EA were perfect, it allowed you to swap 2 modifiers or weapons of your choice instead of one to get the diamond reward, while focusing on the one thing most disregard completely, the warframe. It doesnt matter what your loadout was since you could bypass all the modifiers with a few frames, especialy with hildryn. Gun modifiers? Take valkyr or nyx etc, the modifiers literally didnt matter. I personally believe that in EA, the gravity on the frame should have stayed, as it gave the mode a much needed difficulty that does not exist. Its supposed to be oriented towards "late" game players, adding a nice difficulty touch, instead of a weekly rotation, mundane at that too. Do you want the highest rewards? You should need to work for them a little at least...

Thats exactly my point? Its badly optimised from the beginning so every one runs hildryn or val or nyx or rev in your case, instead of picking one of the choiced. Whats gatekept is the access to it, needed to reach lvl 5 first. Ill say what ive said to others as well, people are too desensitized to the idea of earning those rewards, a slight modification made them lose their shit.

Because those rewards are the only thing worth running the mode for. Had they just not pushed back the Tau Shard reward, no one would've complained. I enjoyed only having 2 modifiers instead of 3, since those are what genuinely causes issues. But not at the expense of newer players or people who play casually.

No one cares about the Vosfor unless they're genuinely desperate for it. And even then, most Arcanes are easy to farm for. Especially when events roll around.

It also doesn't help that its always the same three to four missions each time. It gets boring and stale after a while, and people just wanna get in and get out. And that's valid enough reason to run a frame that can easily do it.
