  FOMO Crap? Mind naming examples?

    Relic rotations, a gazillion daily / weekly capped reputations / activities, various unique events, and of course the freaking "battlepass" bullshit, which ultimately made me finally leave for good. The game became simply a chore, a job, it tried to semi-force / lure me into playing with timed garbage instead of providing actual incentives. I played a lot but if you constantly have to fear pressure me into playing instead of making it my own choice then I'm quitting, because that completely kills the fun out of the gameplay & story. D4 currently does the same garbage but even worse and if all multiplayer titles are going to end this way then they'll die just like the mmorpg genre. Like, right now I don't have internet for over a week now, possibly for more weeks to come, thanks to Vodafone being hot garbage. I don't even want to know how much I would miss out on if I can't play, or even simply if I don't want to play a specific game at the moment. And if a game makes me miss out on shit, then I simply move on. Because what is the point if I can't get everything that could technically be available? So yeah, if I feel I have to play, then I won't. Simple as that.

      Its funny how everything you mentioned is an evergreen system and not the actual FOMO comtents in the game

      Lets start of by relics, the vaulting system is literally there to make them easier to grind and the vaulted relics are always rotating back trough an even easier way to farm, not a FOMO

      Reputations? The one system that is meant to be played in the long term and wont ever leave? Do you even know what FOMO means?

      The Unique events that are Rotating back in every year? Because they are seasonal content? And even then what theh offer is interwinned so other contents can offer their rewards as well? Sure I mean if you only play for 3 days a Year, surely its a FOMO but… really?

      The Battlepass I assume you mean Nightwave because its the only thing even close to it and even then, it’s not… Yeah another long term grind that you can literally complete to the max by just casually Playing (which is how I do it) 1 hour a day and it’s rewards are constantly re-used in other reward Pools? Like Literally I have obtained 3 “Final Reward” Items as normal rewards in next seasons already, not a FOMO

      Uhh ok what the actual fuck on the following discourse, the Game literally requires nothing off you to progress and enter the latest content, it’s always followed that Philosophy, whatever you feel like it’s a chore or dont want to spend your time on… Dont? You wont be locked out of anything lol

      But sure at this point its clear we have different definitions of FOMO so, go ahead play whatever you feel like

      If we’re being completely honest, all of those are in rotation and although some items cannot be grinded for during that time, it can still be traded for, so it is not an issue.

      Dailies and weeklies are here to keep you engaged. They provide some rewards, but I wouldn’t call them mandatory to progression. They’re more of a side-bonus.

      Personally, whenever I’m bored of warframe I just leave. After a while new quests appear, new guns and all of the other stuff to work toward.

      The best part is that whenever you return you’re pretty much at the same place as you left it off.

      Hence I personally see no rush in getting all of the stuff I want. I’ve been playing this game on and off since 2013 and have yet to experience fomo with it, because of the things listed above.

      Destiny, for example, is much much worse. Especially after they decided that it’s a good idea to vault planets and remove quests. Made me leave the game, I just can’t deal with it and have life stuff to do. Mind you, D2 is easily one of my most most favourite games.

      Same with gacha games like Genshin or Honkai 3rd. It’s exhausting.

      Didn’t have thay experience with Warframe.
