I agree so much.

They wanted to instill in us that our Warframes are an incredible force to be reckoned with. A mandatory death because we get a long-form console hack puzzle wrong unceremoniously 'game over's us like losing a bet you knew you were going to lose; the whole process disconnects us from our 'amazing' warframes for something that feels forced and pointless.

I get it that the Kuva Liches are meant to be strong, yes something stronger than us is something us late gamers are craving, and something newer players will grow to appreciate. A 'You Died' because of a roll of the dice only fills us with dread due to process, but not dread due to actual horror and effect of the lich overwhemling us by actually beating us to within an inch of our life.

It feels like a lost opportunity to really engage us players in a gritty nail-biting battle to the death where we KNOW that the odds are stacked against us, but let us actually feel the thrill of a frightening battle, then say 'oh no my knife rocks are in the wrong order' yeah they beat us till where crippled or whatever, tears off an arm for dramatic effect? sure, why not... but we can still run away, and our squad mates can team up to help us escape. Let them chase us through the tiles, as we trip and smash our heads into countless low archways, feeling each misstep and mistake as we're desperately chased to extraction, they can still kill us and kick our ass, but they actually let us warframe out of it with a difficult chance of escape.

It's probably a lot to ask, but having one enemy assassin unit where its AI is very focused on the player and is the only one that moves like a level 5 warframe spectre on steroids; it runs faster, hits harder, and has a very real chance of killing us -  could be something worth trying?

It was an opportunity to really megaman this game, but what we've got now is... pretty flat. I dunno, maybe the above is just way too hard, but I hope its something they'll look at as this is still early days and it's not uncommon that things will change while it's fresh.
