  1. 1 hour ago, Icari said:

    They only do returns in extremely special cases, they're definitely not going to do it for this because they're planning patches to fix operator armor issues.

    No harm in asking. And I think he'd have a valid concern as they are not as advertised. And they 'may' fix them in the future. But they may not fix them to match the preview, if anything the previews are the old looks.

  2. I rarely bring out the 'beta' excuse for any game. More often than not whatever the thing is that I'd have reservations over in beta, isn't what get's fixed, yet everyone would assure me 'oh its beta don't worry'. It becomes more of a being in denial, than actually expecting the problem to be fixed by the end.

     

    Beta has gone on for over a year now (at least), it would be nice to have a launch window 'Fall 2014' or something.  But with the problems that are happening at the moment would it be wise to make a fanfare and launch the game, not really.

     

    And this game even a year ago, was far more polished, optimized and stable than fully released games after years of patches.

     

    I fear once PWE take over the developer silence on issues will become near absolute.

  3. I agree that it is very annoying to lose everything from a mission because of the constant crashes. Some people are running endgame stuff, getting rare loot and losing it all. 

     

    That being said, the game is in open beta, people need to remember that. No, it doesn't make it ok, but it is important to remember.

     

    DE's apparent silence on the near constant crash to desktop problem (which some attribute to a ddos attack that's been ongoing since the weekend) is annoying. An acknowledgment that it exists and is being worked on would go some way to curbing frustrations.

  4. This has happened to me every time I try to run a mission, I've stopped playing the game for now. The black screen thing is particularly weird in that, when you force quit the game, it's still running under Processes but not Applications.

     

    Also another weird effect of this bug is that after the first completion screen, my character reappears at the extraction point, sometimes crouching, sometimes dead, and a few seconds later the black (or sometimes white) screen happens.

     

    This literally makes the game unplayable, happening every mission. But it can't be affecting many people because a) the forums aren't on fire, and b) DE haven't commented on it, or taken the game off-line until it's fixed. So it must just be an unlucky few of us affected.

  5. I don't understand why it waits until you're back in the ship to save progress. What is the point of the first completion screen if it doesn't even save until the second one?

     

    A good point. It would be a better idea to have it save your progress at the first completion screen. Because there are so many things that can go wrong between then and getting back to your ship... e.g. the host dc's and you lose everything.

  6. I got yelled at for creating a thread on this topic, and was told to put it here:

     

    "This is happening more and more frequently. After running a mission (any mission), I click leave squad (which by the way would be nice to have on the main screen after the mission, rather than having to go menus within menus to find it).  When I click leave squad the game locks up and a split second later crashes to desktop. It's happened three times today so far, which is a significant increase.

     

    I have submitted the auto-bug report each time.

     

    Side note: the 'stuck  on loading screen' bug is still pretty bad."

     

    Edit: the crash to desktop juts happened again, that makes five times today.

  7.  

    Oh I do beg your pardon, my search for 'crash to desktop' yielded no current results. I'll flog myself later for the indiscretion.

     

    Also, I've made 8 posts total (9 now), you've made 1052... try to be a little more polite as well.

     

    Sorry for trying to report things to make the game better in the long run.

  9. So many people come here and completely miss the point of the thread.

     

    I too have noticed since the update that at 60fps there is 'stuttering'. The actual fps doesn't change, but it looks/feels stutttery. No idea why. Pre-update there were no fps problems.

  10. This is not game breaking but, on the star-map, Jupiter, Uranus and Neptune are missing their rings.

     

    The star-map does look very nice and all, but it doesn't really make sense in a level progress/story progression way. You don't really know where you are supposed to go next.

     

    And, the planets and moons are all the same size, and are not in the correct places. Having the moons around their planets, and click-able to zoom in on them, would be better imo.

  11. Anyhow, lets just put in an option to turn off the language filter if there isn't one already.

     

    You can turn off the profanity filter, but that doesn't change the fact that words that describe an aspect of people, are censored, thus censoring the people.  Plus if you type the word g*y (I don't know about the others) into chat, the kickbot kicks you instantly... which could be interpreted as... we don't want your kind here. Though I think it's meant to kick people that are using it as a slur. But kickbot doesn't know the difference, obviously.

  12. I'm not sure this is the right place, but a small UI bug I found:

     

    When you press escape and go to your profile and portrait, when you click to edit the portrait you get a window with the old ui and you can't click the icons to chose a new picture. Then the entire UI seems to lock up and you have to force-quit the game and restart it.

     

    Side note: The UI in many places doesn't flow well imo. The little back button at the bottom right for example, for some windows doesn't exist, so you have to press escape... breaking the flow. If that makes sense. Not game breaking, but some feedback from me. :)

     

    P.S> When mousing over a planet it would be really great if it could produce a tooltip of sorts showing what components drop there, the level range, the bosses,  etc. clicking from planet to planet to find the right level missions or the right components is tedious.

     

    P.P.S> After completing a mission via matchmaking, there is no button to leave the squad, you have to back out, press esc, go up to your profile, then click leave squad. Putting a Leave Squad button next to the Exit button would be better.

  13. The concept of homosexuality is offensive to some religions and countries. On the same token so is censoring the words suggesting it to homosexuals. Both sides refuse to come to a common ground. So...

    But I think DE will side on the side of the masses rather than the few. Is it fair? No.

    Sigh.. This is a circular social issue that needs another century of ironing out.

     

    DE is not based in one of those countries. I am British for example, our laws and the laws of the EU do not permit hate-speech or discrimination based on sexuality. The Law overrides religious beliefs, and Warframe has EU servers (which would be ultimately subject to those laws). Thus, what religions and countries find it offensive is mute.  Now one could argue that it's a private company and as such could hold whatever views it wished, but we all know that that kind of thinking only goes so far, and if DE did hold some kind of anti-g*y viewpoint, for whatever reason, we should know now. To be clear I am not suggesting that at all for even a moment, nor is my 'tone of voice' intended to be confrontational or accusatory in any way.

     

    Blizzard had a similar policy years ago, g*y was censored in the profanity filter. They eventually decided to remove it from the filter.  Aion's filter was soo strict that if you typed 'Assassin' it would censor you, even though an Assassin was the name of a class in the game. Sometimes these things get taken too far.

     

    Wasn't there a thread about the word gay being censored a few months back?

     

    Well if the word is still censored, then this will keep coming up.

  14. I've noticed this too (well at least as far as the word g*y is concerned). It gets you an insta-kick, not sure if Lesbian gets people insta-kicked. As much as I really don't like it when people use the word g*y as a slur, and while I am pleased DE takes it seriously enough to insta-kick people for it (something I've not seen any other game do).... for all of that, it does make me feel pretty crap that the word used to describe me is effectively banned from being used. Though I appreciate this is, in some respects, a no-win situation for anyone.  If g*y was used freely in chat, it would be a slur 99.9% of the time, and chat would be even more depressing to look at.

     

    That being said, it makes me wonder what I am and am not allowed to say, and sometimes the chat kicks people for no reason it seems, it's a little draconian in places.

     

    I've been wondering lately about trying to find a clan, but obviously I would want one that was at-least 'not hostile' to g*y people. Not because it's something I'd mention, but because being surrounded by a near constant stream of hateful words and slurs, isn't at all a pleasant experience... but I have no idea what I could type to actually convey that I may be indeed searching for such a place, as the word that describes me, is banned.
