TunaMayo Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 The original picture file has been leaked, we have people quoting and misquoting DESteve from council chat. Can we get an official statement as to what the reward is, we know we cant craft it til update 8, and im not pressuring for a release date but it would be nice to know if we were close.

LegendairyWarframe Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Next event, I will just kill 1 Fusion moa, and do what eve else I do; What't the point? Soloing 15 waves on Europa repeatedly for a BP? How disheartening to hear that two days of grinding just for a bp that can't be used untill a date that we don't even know when. (Ofcourse, I still doubt that DE_Steve_ been the real Steve, but I get scolded by a bunch SMART council members for asking if he is real) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[DE]Steve Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 I think the reward is awesome but it does need components from update 8. If you think this is "grindception" it's a fair point. But this type of reward was originally going to be Platinum only! There is a wack of credits as well. In live stream we'll lay out some stats and give props to players and clans that rocked the Fusion Moas. You don't need to be online to get reward. You just need to have killed at least one Fusion Moa. Future goals may or may not be as grindy. Totally open to flames and feedback but don't lose sight of the high XP, credits and exclusivity of this reward. Future ones probably won't be as good, IMO.

(Ofcourse, I still doubt that DE_Steve_ been the real Steve, but I get scolded by a bunch SMART council members for asking if he is real) Unfortunately I must agree with you. Might as well have given us something for the event and just released this frame later on, if its not gonna be available until later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azure_Kytia Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 I'm sorry; I'm confused about the people upset over this. We are still getting something private to us. Those who participated. Whether it comes in a day or a fortnight, how does that change anything, if it is set in stone via Operational success? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By all mean, you guys are the developer, you guys make the final decision. I just hope you have empathy for players' feeling who grind hard, upon hearing this news.

Cheers for the swift reply and clearing some stuff up. I guess you still dont want to tell us what the reward is ;) I have no issue with the event or reward or even the fact that it will only be craftable in update 8. I just wanted to squash some of the rumours that were sparking arguments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kohira Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 But this type of reward was originally going to be Platinum only! Why are you guys so nice? In live stream we'll lay out some stats and give props to players and clans that rocked the Fusion Moas. S#&$. I knew I shouldn't have studied! I should have concentrated on killing Fusion Moas.

MabsWinterKnight Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 DE_Steve: Will Fusion MOAs remain available as an enemy type after this? They're a pretty fun opponent; a nice change of pace from the regular Corpus enemies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you can imagine we're disappointed with how some are reacting. A global goal, new enemy type, coded messages, event exclusive gear... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A global goal, new enemy type, coded messages, event exclusive gear... The event itself is a very nice change, even if the reward is being speculated upon with negative connotations. It gives people a goal to help strive for, it provides purpose, as opposed to farming and leveling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to say disappointed with each other is not a good start; and since you guys holds the power, do you guys want to up/change the reward to make the rest community happy, or just let it be?

Reedman Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 (edited) I don't really see the problem with the reward as it's event-exclusive. I'm excited to see more missions like this in the future. Edited May 5, 2013 by Reedman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just wanted to squash some of the rumours that were sparking arguments. These are forums. DE could send everyone a 1 oz gold bar in the mail, and people would complain. Forum poster 1 - Friend got his gold today, I'm still waiting on mine. Way to make everyone feel equal DE. Forum Poster 2 - 1 oz? pretty cheap DE. It's not like you couldn't afford to give everyone a pound. Greed much? Forum Poster 3 - Those of us who have been here since cbt should get 2 oz. It's like a slap in the face to people who worked so hard for so long to help you make the game. Forum poster 4 - Whats so special about an oz of gold? I have hundreds of them. It's like you are not even trying DE. Forum poster 5 - What a bunch of ungrateful sots......(immediatly recieves 45 downvotes) Forum poster 6 - I like boobies (immediatly recieves 56 upvotes) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProxySDK Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Wow, finally an enemy that doesn't stunlock you 24/7 but eats your health & shield with a zerg swarm instead, heh.Personally, I don't like events so I don't participate in them, I was grinding for new mods with my mates instead.I hope to see complete overhaul of the melee animations & weapon sounds/models in the future.Good luck, DE!

A global goal, new enemy type, coded messages, event exclusive gear... The only thing that bothered me about the event was the number of Fusion Moas, which was pretty low. I did complain about the reward, since I'm not a big fan of frost, but I didn't realize (until after I read your message, until I saw your perspective), that I didn't express how much I appreciate you giving us a reward, especially something that was clearly meant to be something you could make money off. I really do appreciate the reward, since it far exceeds my expectations. I appreciate the event itself too, it was a breath of fresh air that killed the monotony I was going to, added a bit of a story and with it some immersion in the Warframe universe. I apologize for ever doubting you in the first place. You guys deserve all the praise you'll get (you'd better get it!). Thank you for everything.

Alot of us don't have a slot and we farmed all day long to be able to contribute to the %. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time restrictions aren't good for this kind of thing. Rigging the progress bar to compensate for players not farming hard enough could be solved by... not, having, a timer? The next time you want players to kill a certain mob (or simply do "X" for an event): -No timer. When the players finish it, they get the reward. -Have there be an immediate and obvious reward in addition to the final one, (e.g. make Fusion Moas drop Alloy Plate). -Show live leaderboards for the players and clans that are performing best in the event, and offer them an additional reward. -Have it be the first part of a two-part event, where the results of the first part influence the second, (e.g. "If you don't kill enough Fusion Moas, this secret Fusion Boss we made will be a lot harder!") I'm not dissatisfied with the event, but the execution could be better. I'm sure the next one will be even better, right? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Worira Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Empathy for sure... We honestly thought people would be overjoyed. So you can imagine we're disappointed with how some are reacting. A global goal, new enemy type, coded messages, event exclusive gear... I'd say, overall, the event has been well-received. The coded messages were pretty universally regarded with intense interest, Fusion Moas are very well liked, and the idea of a global event system was generally applauded as a step towards greater gameplay diversity/endgame content. The concerns people have seem to be mainly in the specifics of the implementation, rather than the idea as a whole. People's main problems seem to be not having a sense of their individual efforts in Moa-hunting contributing to the overall goal, the repetitive nature of what's needed to increase the overall percentage, and needing to wait beyond the point of the end of the event to actually work on getting whatever the prize is. Overall, I do think most of us are looking forward to the next event like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azure_Kytia Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 (edited) Without a Timer, there would be a much lesser sense of urgency. I found it quite refreshing, actually. Edited May 5, 2013 by Azure_Kyte Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
