  1. Because of the way SSDs work, not only does data not become fragmented, but running a defragmentation utility will actually burn through the program/erase cycles. What warframe does is exactly defragmentation in hopes to clear space between sectors in order to improve loading times (on hdd) here and there. On nand technology the cells can be as far as they can from each other and there wont be any performance difference, it simply wont do anything but waste cycles.
    A simple toggle option wont kill anyone but it will make the experience better for many.

    I got the game on a regular HDD and even I don't notice any difference after optimizing 2GBs...

    I once optimized over 4.5GB while on hdd - no difference at all.

    Saving space is not a benefit on an SSD?

    SSD/Nand technology simply doesnt waste any bit of space unless intentional. The only thing that it does is harm and shorten the life of cells inside.
    Simple check option to have it on or off as a pop up option will be amazing.

    Game is visually stunning. Played it through the weekend and went back to warframe and my face was like that in the Drake meme.

    Man I wish Warframe did more overhauls to the graphics.

    Warframe's graphics are laughable at best, they really need to ditch this barely working game engine and switch to something good with stunning visuals and good optimization.

  4. Steve promised that after we complete The Sacrifice the solar system wont be the same and there will be a massive sentient invasion, well almost 1 year later stll nothing.

    Because Crysis is more GPU dependent whereas Warframe is more CPU dependent.

    Crysis can run butterly smooth with older generation CPU provided you have the GPU power.

    I do not have the latest hardware but I can run both games at maximum settings with more than 100fps on average. 

    Try to have the right hardware combination before starting to flame a developer for this. DE actually done a good job on optimization even they have rather small workforce. 

    Did you try Assassin's Creed Odyssey? That is what you called bad game optimization. People with the latest hardware have a hard time running at 30fps. That's because Ubisoft poor port optimization from console to PC. The game's whole forum is about the game crashing and lag and run like crap. What a joke...

    I think my Ryzen 3 @3.8Ghz is leaques ahead of what Warframe provides 😉 its not my machine its the crappy engine.

    Agree.

    Id liketo see endgame stuff but railjack looks like it wil be newbie friendly, i can bet 15K lat that the rewards from taht space mission will be 
    1: 3K Kuva
    2: 2K Endo
    3: Forma
    4: Random Relic
    5: Random number Fuelfor the ship
    6: Mod
    7: Mod
    8: Mod
    You gt my point - it wont be worth, it will be fun for the first 20 times no doubt but with rewards like these nobody will remember it 1 month after release.

    Its not that hard placing level 70 enemies in railjack.

    Its not im sayng that DE will never give us legit real end game cus they are aming constnatly at newbies and starters with every new cntent.
    For the past 3 years they are making everything newbie friendly while we veterans ae begging or something barely chalenging.

  8. I completely agree with this suggestion, this "optimization" does nothing but slows you PC for god knows how long, whats the point of this nosnense optimizations when i run Crysis 3 at ultra blazing with 80FPS but i have drops to 25 fps on fortuna in warframe with a graphics for a mobile phone game? 
    Fix your broken and barely functional engine than we can talk about these "optimizations"

    And I'm not doubting that they are. The difference is that you and I both understand that revenue is not the same as profit, and gross profit is not the same as net profit. In other words we have at least a basic understanding of the principles involved. That guy doesn't seem to be able to figure out how they're different, he saw a "big number" and figured "that must mean that DE is swimming in money like Uncle Scrooge McDuck", despite the "big number" being associated with a totally different company. 

    Likewise some folks can't figure out why a profitable flagship that earns a large amount of money on paper, may actually have a much smaller profit margin than multiple small games. 

     

    And yet these people who can't grasp the basics of how company finances work, are under the impression that they understand enough to tell a profitable company what changes they should make to their business model, despite probably not having the first clue about what that would involve either. 

     

    It's beyond silly at this point. 

    The silly part is ppls dennying the fact that Warframe is multi million dollar video game, i mean why is the reistance to accept the reality? arent youa guys hppy with the product esp in 2018 😮 more money made from the game means it will perform better next year right? oh wait.... fortuna flashbacks kick in

    I looked through some of the data and I'm not a finance person but $166 million is not the money they pocketed. Looking at page 3 ,it mentions the actual profit of the year after calculating losses and taxation to come up to $10.2 million. Sounds like a really big deal but looking at the expenses and losses just above that Profit for the Year line, they can't simply drop a few million to set up a Dedicated server backend framework, obtain/rent the necessary server hardware with appropriate maintenance teams just because a few people got their connections dropped in-game. 

    I believe he is looking at this, https://www.reddit.com/r/Warframe/comments/84yuh6/breaking_warframe_just_had_a_record_breaking_year/

    Particularly, 

     

    If they want the game to be a MMO than they have to drop some money, they have the money and recources they are by no means an indie company at this point, indie doesnt print millions and millions.
    And to be fair there are signs that Warframe will go full blown MMO style game with massive landscapes and vehicles to drive
    Steve himself even says his dream is to make warframe an mmo game not just some random third person looter shooter.

    Yup, definitely don't understand what you are looking at and can't figure out why you don't. Making bogus assumptions based on stuff you really don't get. 

    Dunning-Kruger has got you good. 

    🤣yes 166 736 000 dolars came out of nowhere right? And warframe have nothing to do with it while being all over the website.
    You might as well tell me that warframe is a failing product right? Meanwhile the OWNER of the company and the game is telling that Warframe is the most profitable free to play game on steam.

    Feel I should also point out that Tennogen stuff is both very cheap and that the profits are split with the artists who design them. So even if they sell a lot, that will account for a tiny proportion of their profits. The big money makers will be Prime Access, platinum & prime bundles. Sales of cosmetic stuff help (obviously) but aren't what keep the company going.

    Also STOP quoting headline figures for the parent company. DE don't see anything like that kind of money. You clearly have no idea how revenue streams get divided up from a parent company, to all its subsidiaries.

     

    From continuing operations Revenue in 2017  166,736, 000 (while having Warframe pictures on the background and nothing else) or you gonna tell me all these incomes are from games in devlopment and the dead Dirty Bomb? It doesnt matter how much money DE are getting which BTW is A LOT since they and the game is owned by Leyou. all it matters is how much Warframe is making. Multi Million Dollar franchise oh wait but its still in beta for a 6th year.

    hand onlly 1/3-1/2 that can be atributed to Warframe by any reasonable estimation

    Even if thats true which btw doesnt make any sense since their only profitable products currently are Warframe and the dead Duirty Bomb, 70 000 000 out of 140 000 000 is still butt load of money for "Indie" developer, reminding you again that the Witcher's 3 development and promotions all costed 84 000 000 dollars for a 3.5 years development time 😉
    With their current incomes Leyou and DE can develop a Witcher 4 alike game but will they? I highly highly doubt, all we going to get is another open world with nothing to do on it but mine and fish oh and TENNOGEN that sweet sweet tennogen.

    Just out of curiosity, i read the 2018 Interim report and nowhere does it say what actual contribution Warframe makes to the business as a whole.

     

    The closest you get is where it says Warframe helped Leyou's Computer & Video Gaming Business increase profits 77% from $61m to $108m...with a contribution from Splash Damage. Though it does describe Warframe as their "flagship product" - so maybe it is actually more important than I first though.

    Gross profit went from $39m to $74m.

    So once you've taken tax off that and divided it up among the other studios they own...its not nearly as much as the headline figures suggest.

     

    Profits went from 39M to 47M for the first 6 months of 2018 wait to see the anual reports going trough the roofs since fortuna came out, oh wait lets not forget this is an indie devloper/studio that barely can afford the light above their heads and we cant simply aks them to improve the game and bring real servers on the table that is away out of DE's league while making millions upon millions.

    Dirty Bomb? Work-for-hire and Other Business?? Oh, DE only have to develop Warframe?... Why did they assist in other game development then?

    Also, I don't know if the report of the year 2018 already out or not but this is for the year 2017 http://www.files.services/files/359/2018/0316/20180316213001_92024858_en.pdf

    You can see that as a big group they did own many things. Warframe is just one of them. So those number you shown wasn't from Warframe alone. They did come from everything this document said.

    They just announced Dirty bomb will be killed by the end of this year and the suppoer is already terminated for the game, all they boast about in their repoerts is how warframe is the biggest and largest most profitable free to play game currently on the market, and its not like im making stuff you know its the owner of the game itself saying this, all their profit is coming from Warframe alone currently and btw how do they made 147 000 000 back in 2016 by only owning DE? yeah yeah i forgot its a indie company that barely cann affort the lights above their heads. DE is not indie nor are small developers, they can easelyey wan make witcher 4 if tht but it wont print 150-200 000 000$ evey year right?

    doesnt mean that thier income reported is from DE alone only about 1/10th that is from DE they have many other things generating them money

    Sure sure despite Lyou not having any other game generating money but okay ill believe you 😄 Poor DE and Warframe barely making money to keep the lights on while their owners are swiming in mountains of money.

    Link to source please, or I call BS...

    Also, if you're quoting Leyou's figures, instead of Digital Extremes, then you are going to be WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYY off base...

     

    Check their anual reports, all they talk is about warframe you know why? cus they dont have any other profiting products currently, so you are telling me every year they make 150 000 000$ by doing nothing? Either they are the smartest ppls ever live on the planet or Warframe is making a lot of buck. Its not a BS at all, in their own reports every year they say Warframe is the most profitable free to play game currently. These are not my words by the away its the owner's of DE and Leyou.

  18. The game is printing 150 000 000$ since 2016 and this year unoficially it is reported that the game made more than 200 000 000$, still tho wait for the official and public reports by Leyou.
    They have the money to develop Witcher 3 MULTIPPLE times (which costed 85 000 000$ including trailers and promotions) but they wont tho anything like that.
    AT LEAST they can give us Dark Secotr 2  : )
