    Could Not Update Account Information Progress Not Saved

    in Mission Specific

    Posted

    This has happened many times to me as well. It actually consumed 4 of my void keys when it happened in there. I haven't unlocked any utility slots so I doubt that is the problem (as stated in a previous post). It is extremely frustrating when you go 60+ minutes in a survival and the entire mission gets wiped like it didn't even exist AND you lose the key. This problem has been around for a very long time and it has been fixed when it surfaces. Hopefully we can get a hotfix some time this weekend. I'll be sticking to wave 5 credit grinds i guess -_-

    Here is my submission for the Vectis Screenshot Contest. It includes myself, playing Rhino, hitting 2 targets with 2 shots during a single wall run. Because of the difficulty to capture the "action" of a headshot, I have also included a .gif and

    . Good luck to all the entries and thank you for the contest, Megan. I had a lot of fun participating!

    Warframe: The Endgame Issue

    in General

    Posted · Edited by TheSphynx

    One thing people have to remember, this game isnt even out of open beta.

    Not only that, DE probably has a time table of features to get out before ps4 release. Furthermore, the game has not been around for several years so it has not had the time to build up end game content.

    Just like any other mmog, the game will expand and flesh out much more over time.

    People have been using the excuse "beta" for quite some time now. I'm going to highlight items Warframe has suffered in, since Beta release:

    - A Backbone: There is close to ZERO story line. Infested, cool, how did these beings become as such? Other than mining and mass dominance, why are these two factions fighting? Why are Tenno assigned to keep the balance? All questions which are pondered daily, yet as of right now, all the enemies are just meat bags. I feel no hesitation to shoot any enemy. Up until just recently (New PS4 Trailer), I didn't hate a faction more than the other. Regardless, my hate towards a certain faction doesn't mean I'm not going to farm the brains out of the faction I favor more.

    - Progression: What is the overall/average goal of Warframe players? Build weapons and Warframes, max out mods, and build your Mastery Rank. It all comes down to that little blue bar and how fast we can kill those "meat bags". The only actual way to take your weapons/warframe to the max potential, is through endless defense or survival mission. At that point, you run into issues like weapon/warframe viability, player skill, and terrible rendering issues that deal incredible fps lag to players with a mid-ranged computer.

    - Co-Op Connectivity: We have ALL joined a match that has extremely painful lag. Do you really think somebody that just purchased a State-of-the-Art gaming console is really going to waste their time fighting connectivity issues? Sure, they can run the game a 60+ fps, but what does that matter when enemies are glitching across the screen due to connection lag?

    - Party Finding: Recruiting/joining players in Warframe to make a party, is pretty damn frustrating, even on a PC. The system is prehistoric. Without a mouse or keyboard, think about how hard it will be for someone playing on PS4 to recruit players for a mission. "Just attach a keyboard to your PS4" or "Buy the gamepad keyboard". No, those ARE NOT acceptable solutions to the problem. Those are client side workarounds to make the system easier.

    - Lack of Weapon Balancing: So you spent 50+ hours farming that new Braton Prime. Comes to find out, the good old Boltor, a weapon available to anybody, is significantly better in almost every way. What is the point of farming these "Prime" weapons, when only a couple are actually "viable" in higher level missions? To fill that little blue bar? Inb4, "Armor 2.0 is coming", realize this. Armor 2.0 will basically reset everything (damage wise) that you know about Warframe. With that, A LOT of balancing will have to be done (requiring even more of DE's time).

    - Lack of Variety: This is quite typical for shooters. Counter-Strike, ME3, Call of Duty. Your main objective is to kill things with a weapon of some sort. What you have to look at is what separates these games. Counter-Strike is extremely competitive. ME3 has an incredible dynamic story line. Call of Duty/Battlefield bring amazing graphics with different periods/themes of war. There are only a few things that separate Warframe from your typical generic shooter. It's mod system, it's theme, and the amount of grind (compared to other shooters). As of right now, there are 2 factions and the infested. The Corpus are pretty much exactly the same from Venus to Pluto. Infested also suffer from lack of enemy types. The Grineer, have a much larger "enemy pool". There are only really 3 different types of enemies per faction. Heavy, Light, and Flying. Infested have heavy and light, but all melee/short-ranged attacks. Also, aside from Phobos and the upcoming "Gas Planet" pretty much every mission in the system breaks into 3-4 different level types. The only thing that changes is the level of the enemies. Yeah, it seems DE is working on this, but it seems to be a very low pace. A pace, that almost feels like this game will be in "beta" for another year.

    - Developer Communication: With EVERY patch that has come out, there has always been that post on reddit or the forums that says, "Look at this new mod" or "*insert weapon/warframe* stats got ninja nerfed". There are always changes that are not listed in the patch notes, good or bad. Lets look at one of the most successful gaming companies in the industry, Riot Games. When every patch is released, they release highly detailed patch notes and they DO NOT leave anything out. This keeps players happy and builds player-developer trust. If Riot nerfed champions, without any information about it in the patch notes, the community would flood social media with questions/theories based on the changes. If the information is just put out there from the start, people just accept it and move on. This builds trust.

       Another issue with the player-developer communication is.. sometimes you feel like you are speaking to a wall. For example, when the Heavy Caliber mod got changed to Accuracy, the only statement regarding it's changes was "The mod still needs to be tweaked". That was 2 updates ago and still nothing has been done with this mod. It would be as simple as adding an Accuracy counterpart mod, as all the other Corrupt mods have a single counterpart mod. Personal messages, forum posts, and any other types of ways to communicate with the devs will most likely not yield you an answer.

       Grineeer Workshop was introduced to inform players on what was going on at DE. This brought much excitement, as it was a step into the right direction to start more player-developer communication. "This might end up being daily; this might end up being once a week or longer." It ended up being the latter. We got two entries in the month of October. If we could get more of this, even from other developers, it would be a giant step in the right direction. Also, I believe we need our Community Managers to be taking notes daily from what is discussed on the forums. Questions, Suggestions, and Feedback. We need reactions from DE. Maybe dedicate 1-2 days a month to sit down and go through everything discussed thoroughly (not just an hour on the livestream). From there, The Community Managers can post DE's answers/reactions.

    These issues have been around for a very long time. For anyone that ignorantly shouts "BETA", do you really think in the next couple of months we'll see ALL of these issues be addressed and making a complete turn for the better? We are almost 8 months into Open-Beta, and we have only seen minute improvements to these issues. If you think update 12 (can only assume it will be 3-4 months away) is going to roll out and magically fix all of these issues, you're in for a rude awakening. The argument has been going on for months regarding the game being in "Beta". Majority of the players (that opted into this discussion) have come to the conclusion it is just a tag to fall back on in case of a big screw up or error. They're accepting money, releasing NEW content faster than fixing old content, and they are releasing onto a State-of-the-at gaming console in 2 weeks. If you can seriously pull the "Beta, game is in Beta" argument against any of the issues discussed in this thread, you have to be in serious denial.

    To All Those Complaining Of Being Cheated Of Their Rightful Rewards

    in General Discussion

    If they had given Corpus supporters the BP of the Detron even if Grineer won, it would have been win-win for EVERYONE. WHY are you people so against that, huh?

    Of all the wars fought in the world, when has there ever been one resulting with both sides winning? You fought in a "virtual" war and you decided to side with a specific faction. Look at it this way:

    -Pure Corpus supporters got 1 Catalyst and 1 Reactor over the pure Grineer supporters. (Corpus 3 of each, Grineer 2 of each)

    -If you were to get "Your supported faction's blueprint", what would be the difference between the winners and losers? 1 weapon slot (6 platinum)?

    I have no idea where a lot of you people get this mentality that "Everyone is a winner", but it certainly DOES NOT apply to a WAR. As OP stated, you knew the rewards going into the event. Thinking you are entitled to something other than that.. seems a bit ridiculous.

    I'm sorry, I have very little to input about the topic of discussion. I would like to say, I give my complete support to the thread's direction. We do need more backbone to the game. It's so unique and well designed, but lacks severely the story line department.

    in person self control can be hard but you had to type it proof read it and throw words like honor, godly, and dignity in on your own to describe this false person you claim to be we have enough evidence, you are not what you say you are. Also humans  who calls other people humans come on.

    Meh, it's done and over with. We all know what type of person he is and what he is capable of (or not capable of). It's time to let it go. Some people aren't worth the time. Especially, when it isn't appreciated.

    No no, seriously. I want to know how this guy Tekkamen blade or whatever has come to the conclusion that my beliefs are apparently fabricated. How he can so nochalantly call my beliefs into question without knowing how I am or what I stand for.

     

    I want to know how this guy magically knows that my beliefs are apparently nothing and that I'm one huge ball of lies. I want to se him make a post explaining how he automatically knows I dont actually have a code of honour!

    He doesn't have to, I just did.

    I love how people here equate defending ones beliefs and morals with being a troll. Great. Who ISNT a troll by these terms?

    See here is the issue with that statement:

    Your belief, is that everyone that uses the new faction weapons are playing with "tainted weapons". You also believe that people that supported the Corpus, should sell their Grineer weapons in a "Silent Protest". Lastly, you believe that by making uneducated assumptions, it gives you the right to twist statements and manipulate evidence in your favor to support said assumptions. Then, spread false information with these results.

    So when you are defending such ridiculous beliefs, I can see why people would consider you a troll. ESPECIALLY, since everyone has tried to present you with facts and evidence and you just look away as if you don't care. Tonight, you have literally sat in these forums as if it was a "I'm MasterZalm AMA". You throw your ridiculous beliefs out there and you don't care what ANYBODY has to say about it. UNTIL, they provide you with hard evidence, then you fall back to your "honor" or resort to name calling.

    I've been here, trying to help you understand. Presenting you with facts, evidence, quotes and you just call me a troll for trying? So I warn people that there is no point in arguing with you and you claim I'm "following" you? No, you're posting your ridiculous beliefs and incorrect information in almost every thread related to the past event. People try to help you and you treat them like trash, no wonder you only have 6 friends in "the real world".

    Nekros Tweak?

    in Warframes

    Posted

    Here are my thoughts on Nekros:

    Soul Punch - Meh, could use a damage boost OR larger aoe.
    Terrify - Lacks in CC compared to other warframe's abilities. Only fix I could see that would make this viable in higher level is to make it so when an enemy is terrified, it would also terrify any other enemy units in a 5m-10m radius. This would actually make this skill pretty darn solid.
    Desecrate - Perfectly fine where the SKILL is at. Although some skills, like Molecular Prime, make corpses disappear instantly. Making it near impossible to desecrate.
    Shadow of the Dead - Remove unit collision. Allow weapons to shoot through, without using puncture mods.

    Yeah, pretty much. and a few points of lore in the game and event as well. Care to join the mob? I dont mind. Honour is rare these days, and people like to insult it.

    Sure, "Honor". So...

    - It's "Honorable" to make twisted statements and mislead people with incorrect information?

    - It's "Honorable" to tell people, that put the time and effort into providing you with facts and evidence, they are wrong "Until DE makes a statement"?

    - It's "Honorable" to act like a child and try to provoke a "Silent Protest" by telling people to sell their "unwanted weapon rewards"?

    - It's "Honorable" to sit on your high-horse and "look down" on people that use these weapons? As they are, what you call "tainted".

    You call it "honour", I call bull. There is nothing honorable about your posts or what you say. You constantly lie, twist official statement, and spread rumors based on your personal assumptions. People aren't attacking you because of your "Honor", people are attacking you because: your arguments have ZERO backing, your motives lack intelligence, and your posts are self-centered. People, like myself, have spent hours trying to provide you with evidence and fact regarding your issues. You chose to look away and not hear any of it. What is the point of posting on the forum if you are only outputting (incorrect) information and not taking any (from the community) in?

    But they have confirmed the Vandal series to be exclusive. They have NEVER said the wraith series is exclusive. Saying the wrait is exclusive is an assumption. It might be correct, but thats the thing about assumptions, they might also be wrong.

    And you're ASSUMING the Prova Vandal is included with the rest of the Vandal weapons. Even after there has been multiple pieces of evidence provided to you. Honestly, all I want to know is, why are you even wasting your and other people time with your posts? Is it fun for you to manipulate people with ignorant and twisted statements? Is it fun for you to continue to say "I don't believe it" when people have actually taken time and effort to present you with facts proving otherwise? Literally, 95% of your posts are filled with lies and twisted statements and I can guarantee a majority of the people in this forum are tired of seeing your posts.

    What can we do about it? Nothing, we have to sit here and watch you spread false information as if you had reasonable evidence supporting your beliefs. What happened to your last thread on this topic, Zalm? It got locked. Why is that? Because a CM saw that the discussion was going nowhere. People were providing you with facts and evidence and all you could say was "Nope, I want someone from DE to make a statement". For the sake of the community, and for the sake of people searching for information, please, and I am asking you very politely, stop providing false information based off of assumptions.

    Good Bye Prova.

    I'm sorry, Rebecca saying Vandal are exclusive isnt a fact, are we now denying DE's PR Rep?

    Oh look, you're twisting statements again. Just like you did when you started this thread. Regardless, since this thread is going nowhere and you aren't accepting any information from other contributors, I have reported the thread to be locked. Thanks for the laugh in the meantime.

    Good Bye Prova.

    And at least I have facts.

     

    What we do have is hard evidence that Vandal gear is limited and exclusive, and none of it has been rereleased. Track records are better for character definition than promises are.

    No, sorry, you don't have any facts. Just assumptions.

    Can you stop saying "we" like there is anybody in this thread backing you.

    Your issue, is you think "Revealing" means the same as "Releasing". This weapon, was not released to anybody. Therefor, it is still up for release.

    Good Bye Prova.

    Excuse me for trying to let everyone know about the issue we have.

    No, it's an issue YOU have. Nobody else. With that, you are spreading INCORRECT information based off of ASSUMPTION. Information that could confuse someone with little knowledge on the subject.
