Calling it a very small part of the game when you are basically required to grind them up to max level and hunt down mods is a misnomer. Just because you love the game enough to sit through a garbage part doesn't excuse the fact that the developer put it in the game to begin with, like putting the almost obligatory "Racing" level in a shooting game. If a game is rife with mini-games or different game modes that use different gameplay mechanics, then it makes more sense because variety is what people except and play for, but last time I checked people played Warframe to enjoy smooth gameplay whilest bulding an arsenal they could use everywhere, not in this disjointed manner.

Archwings basically are a subset of warframes that can manuver in 3D, and offers little to no diversity seeing you're just shooting and slashing things in zero gravity now, but without the abilites or weapons you worked so hard to build up.

It feels like a clunkier, "faster" warframe, which I have to level up so I don't die doing quests then never touch again until another event that forces people to use them. It brings very little to the table, and is so similar to the original experience, why add it for anything other than more grinding and people spending plat to bypass drop rates? T

Even with the Sealab stages, the disconnect is way too strong between the Archwing content and the Warframe content as one completely does not affect the other (outside where frames would influence Archwing health), and they are not used together until later in the game.

I came to play Warframe, not Archwing, and I started playing during the orignal Vauban update. I came back and was quickly turned off again in no small part by the thing that turned me off the first time: The Archwing. Bonus points to DE for locking planets behind the stupid "achievement-based" junctions. Seriously, they basically force reutrning players to go back to the beginning to do all the "Quests" they added because they are mandatory to advance if you perhaps neglected getting to one planet because it didn't exist yet.
