    Here is our Clan Obstacle Course, generally called “Akio's cellar” among the members.

    It is brightly lit in the demo, but original lights were so dim one can hardly see a thing pass few meters, making it an even less pleasant place to be in.

    There is a bit of a history behind this Obstacle Course.

    Originally Akio (“Akio_san” in game) made a jumping puzzle Obstacle Course just for fun and for other clanmates to test their warframe movement control. He asked me to test it… and well I abused the living hell out of it with 0 finesse and 100% cheese. He tried to fix it, but time after time I found more ways to cheese my way to the finish line.

    This continued to a point when he took entire weekend off to completely rebuild the jumping puzzle into something new. Something dark and twisted. Something that is now called (in hushed whispers) only as “Akio's cellar”.

    Something nobody in their right mind will wish to try themselves.

     

    PS

    It is Akio's passthrough in the video. So if he wins anything in this contest, please give the prize to him (Akio_san) and not me.

    You keep using the word, 'president'? do you mean, 'precedence'?

    Nope. Meant “negative precedent” but auto-correction set me up.

    Farming for parts can easily exceed release date of Bp.

    So more people to rush into a dialog of others and share their eternal wisdom. Yey!

    Look, here is the thing – forums are here for people to leave feedback for DE.

    I did precisely that.

    I don't like “plat only” Gara, for the reasons I stated. Case closed.

    Got other opinion? Great! Leave it here for DE as well.

    Find my opinion “ridiculous”, “wrong” or in other way not to your liking? Great! Nothing wrong with that. But I don't not care. It is my opinion, it does not have to be liked by every random person on the internet.

     

    So stop your righteous wrath and leave your shining armor alone, no need to defend DE today, because they are not under attack.

     

    Every bloody time I say something is not sunshine and rainbows, a squad of white knights is at my throat.

    Had you ever tried to post “lootboxes are not that good of an idea” on Overwatch forums?

    That Diablo 3 should not have always online connection or real money auction house?

    That Division gameplay feels underwhelming?

    The number of people with pitchforks and torches would have really surprised you.

    Better yet, had you ever tried to say that new weapons look a bit pay2win in GRO? Or that going pay to play will kill it?

    Or that Nosgoth should really focus on adding stuff to the game and not balancing it to ESL standards?

    No? Would have heard a lot about being “delusional”, “ridiculous”, etc.

    Granted its less hostile in Warframe yet. But we will get there.

    Few years ago I could say that Tethra doom feels bland or that Frost nerf is not that smart of an idea without much of a fuss.

     

    Point of this rant is – I am not here to make sure my opinion is to everyone’s liking, I am here to leave feedback.

    That I did. Time to go.

    No more pointless back and forth

    Guilty as charged. :smile:

    But you know what they say “Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they aren't after you.”

    And no I don't want the whole POE update postponed, yet it doesn't look like Gara is that vital part of it.

    The opening post reads "Gara will probably be delayed by a week". NOT 'Delayed by probably a week'.

    Now that is just petty.
    Both statements let them postpone Gara's release for as long as they want. Changes nothing.

    54 minutes ago, Colyeses said:

    Furthermore, you specifically claimed that you can't -farm- Gara

    You can't farm Gara (warframe), you can farm some parts you can't use.
    Gara =/= some parts.
    Gara = a warframe.
    Do you see the difference?

    54 minutes ago, Colyeses said:

    AND you kicked off with 'So now you are releasing frameS', plural, when this is the first and only time that this kind of situation has arisen.

    Yet. First time yet. And that was told about a concept of farming warframes as a whole. Do you understand that?

    after correcting your misinterpretations -twice-,

    You wasn't correcting anything, you rushed in my conversation with another person and went hogwild while having no clue what I was talking about at all and making points that miss by a mile.

    My very first post here says: So now you are releasing frames for cash few weeks before they can be farmed in the game, are you?

    Your answer to that is: First you're saying she won't be available at all <...>

    And you still claim to correct me? Like seriously?

    Sort whatever is in your head first.

    Gara's quest is delayed due to a voice actor being tied up in plains and has not been able to get the voicing recorded hence the 1 week delay on her quest being released. Do you really want the whole update delayed longer so you can get your Gara that little bit faster. <...>

     

    I for one don't care about Gara delay, I care it being temporary “plat only” because that is not a player friendly business practice that I do not want to grow.

    Free & plat Gara in the update - fine by me.

    No Gara in the update - fine by me.  

    Only plat Gara in the update - not really that fine by me.

    Would you stop shifting the goal posts?

    First you're saying she won't be available at all, to which I point out that you can get the farming out of the way. Then you say that they haven't announced when Gara IS going to be properly released and I point out that they're saying 'A week'. And now you're shifting goalposts to 'it sets a bad precedent!'.

    Would you chill a bit?

    Have a cup of coffee, take your ADHD pills or something.
    Here are the points, nice and easy for you:
    1. Even temporary “plat only” frames are bad.

    I am all about supporting the game (would not get those Prime Accesses bundles otherwise), but this is not something I can get behind.

    Surprisingly player unfriendly move.

    So?

    As I said before it is a highly negative president and player unfriendly move.

    This month Gara will be “cash only” for a week and in a year time we will "farm" new frame parts in a paid lootboxes. <...>

    Hope that was not too overwhelming for you to grasp.

    If that was – “Clem, grakata!” or “who cares, DAKKAAA!!!”. Whatever suites you.

     
    A week is “probably a week” (if you can read the original post by Rebecca). Plains update should have been launched before the end of September (according to Steve).
    So no solid only a week for you. Would be nice of you not to mislead people on that, don't you think?
     
    2 hours ago, Colyeses said:

     If this WERE a precedent for getting people early access to frames if they shell out the plats, they would not be adding Gara's parts to PoE's drop tables from the get go but they would wait.

    Should I really once again tell you that you cant get a frame out of those parts without a blueprint?

    BIGGEST CONTENT UPDATE WARFRAME HAS EVER HAD

    Be so kind as not to retell me the PR stuff here please.

    I can read it myself. And as we established here, most probably better than you do.

    You're blowing this way out of proportion. To say that this is even a president is jumping the gun.

    Just making sure my point on the matter is here. Hopefully heard.

    After free to play games going pay to play (like GRO did) and the shear infestation of lootboxes that zergrush even into single player games. With games years (even decades) old adding microtransactions and once again lootboxes? With NBA 2K 18 where you literally buy levels?

    I am not really unreasonably concerned.

    Love Warframe and do not wont it to turn in to something horrid. And yeah it's not my call and in the grand scheme of things one player's opinion has 0 weight, but I try to do what I can. That simple.

    Well, I hope not, but the precedent of having temporary “cash only” frames is there. And that may well become a slippery slope for DE.

    And I do not want that. Not one bit.

    Not because I don't want to support them (I do. With Prime Accesses, Tennogen and other stuff), but because I do not support consumer unfriendly business practices.

    19 hours ago, Hyro1 said:

    It will be for free, even though the quest won't be out, the parts will still be farmable

    Parts may well be, but without a blueprint (that is a quest reward) you will not be able to get the full frame.

    So once again Gara will be “cash only”. Temporary. No free way to get it for a time.

    And if you missed it, I consider that player unfriendly and a negative precedent.

  8. On ‎04‎.‎10‎.‎2017 at 8:42 PM, Colyeses said:

    No, no, Gara will be farmable at PoE's release, according to the opening post. It's just her blueprint that will be missing. So you can do all the farming before the quest releases.

    You still cant get her for free, blueprint or not. Only for cash.

    And there is no information on how long Gara will be "plat only".

    So my point stands.

    quest for Gara is likely going to be delayed by a week, due to a scheduling conflict with one of our key Ostron actors… however, because Gara is ready, she will be in the Market

    We've had a summer of content and fixes go out, but the hype for big older brother (which we've hyped a lot) War Within just makes everything we've done feel… just less.

    I don't know how you feel about it as a developer, Steve, but from where I stand (quite a seasoned Tenno) you will not meet the hype and delays you made by literally anything.
    No matter how good, no matter how clever or polished the new experience will be… A 2 hour quest (3, 4, 5 or whatever) will not top 10+ months of nothing.
    Worst than nothing.
    You ruined the endless Void for a sheer nothing of same repeated farming over less diverse and interesting missions in smaller bursts. To farther hit the point you nerfed desecrate. And now you will ruin Carrier. All that in a game mainly and solely about looting.
    I do recommend you to consider bourbon after work and not before one.
    Any other time this and all the other hiccups would just fly by. Lost in events, alerts, farming for brand new stuff on grand new maps. But not now. Not now when the level of disappointment, misunderstanding and even distrust is so high.
    Do not try to jump over your own head it will end traumatic.
    Get all the content you can in the game asap. Any content. Any at all. And continue on at x2 speed for at least half a year afterwards (to return the people you had lost). You can polish and upgrade everything later. Some things will work better and be loved more than you expect them to. Your own playersbase will tell you how to fix the rest of it. That worked for you in 2013, will work now as well. Monthly posting “one more month please” will not.
    But please act, and act before your inaction (or rather your hard persistent actions on filling some trashbin at DE headquarters) had done some irreversible damage.

    On PC, you can look forward to 'The Vacuum Within' this week.

    I never asked for this (tm).
    More to it, this is a… Well let's not get this one deleted.  A bad idea.
    One that like the “Void killwork” will come to you in 3-4 months like a revelation that “something is wrong here”.

    Don't know. Don't care.
    I got all the Kurias last year, this year I could not force myself to get the Cephalon fragments. If you expect me to farm for Index in 2017 you are wrong.

    I have nothing constructive or even civil to offer you. Sorry.
  12. 31 minutes ago, Rekkou said:

    Nope it's not, it's perfectly fair rule that allows any creators to make anything they want without fear of competition. On the other hand you made up your own rule which has no relevant to how DE choose what will be accepted and then gets disappointed when people broke your false expectation.

    Assumptions, assumptions…
    Last six months taught me not to have any expectations on DE’s part (maybe a fail here and there, but that’s beyond the point). So nothing was broken.
    See? You are not as perceptive as you’d like to think.
    And while I am offering logic, you are offering a quote from an official statement. Goody, you can quote. Nice for you, continue on.
    I am only disappointed to spend more time on the matter than it amused me. Have a nice day.

    PS
    The reason why they chose Rogue over  NARIFT is in it being far less time consuming to get in the game.

  13. 29 minutes ago, Rekkou said:

    There is no X over Y, if both are acceptable then both will be accepted. Rogue being accepted does not cause Narift to be unacceptable and the reason why Narift was not accepted has nothing to do with Rogue

    For your own sake (you know, being an intelligent human being and all that), I hope you know that that is bull's poopies.
    Yes there are no direct exclusions, but DE tries to keep Tennogen market diverse. That and time needed to work those skins in the game makes them chose what is better for each Warframe to add, thus if they chose something it is supposed to be better than the rest for that frame. Which is clearly not so in the case I posted earlier.

  14. Once again you are breaking something old that works and implementing something new that most probably wouldn't.
    Why am I skeptical about the new stuff? Least favorite of the old game modes is twice more popular than PVP and Archwing combined.
    Why do I consider making 3 vacuum mods out of 1 braking something working? Because carrier is not a problem. Carrier was never a problem. “Guano-like” other sentinels were. And are.
    “Guano-like” Diriga that can't hit a broad side of a Galleon is a problem.
    “Guano-like” Helios that takes more time to scan his target than to kill it is a problem.
    “Guano-like” sentinels that die faster than a single Toxic Ancient are a problem.
    “Guano-like” chesa kubrow unable to get a single item in a 40 minutes survival is a problem.
    Carrier is the only sentinel that is not… And now you nerf him.
    Brilliant! Freaking brilliant!
    And about all that beating your chest with “7th iteration” roar… You should be kind of ashamed of that. 7th iteration means you screwed 6 times with that quest by now.

    That is not something to be proud of.

  15. Am I the only one here who does not care about all those Cons, but does care about lack of new ingame content and bugfixes?
    Also concerned about continuing decline in Warframe playerbase (BTW new prime hadn’t stopped it just slowed down). Disappointed that Jordis Raid and buggy custom weapon placements are not fixed for months. Surprised that Warframe development is getting more focused on getting new players and not keeping the old ones.
    And really-really not getting all that “Superstar mode” DE team is on now.
    Why? Did something good happened? Had I missed something? 

  16. Since you do not address any inconvenient questions about botched up endgame, rewards nerf+skyrocketing grind or all the broken ingame mechanics. Well you don’t even tell us what other project you had abandoned Warframe for.
    I will simply ask this:
    1. How do you feel about shrinking of Warframe playerbase to 2014 numbers?
    From 66k in February 2016 to 24k now.
    2. How is the money flowing?
    From personal experience all the cash saved from having nothing new to buy in Warframe landed me with at least 3 new AAA games for the last 2 months.
    3. Will you stop before it is too late?

  17. Well. With all the cursing and throwing random stuff at the wall finished here.

    DE ladies and gents, you messed up. Royally. Colossally and grandly.

    Megan, please be so kind to tell Steve he can't remind players about money after six months without an upgrade.

    And while there please tell Scott that diverting people form Warframe development is a really bad idea.

  18. 1. Any plans on fixing the “Void” your “Void Rework” created?
    With endless void missions gone endgame is more shallow than ever before. Raids are picked clean and Sorties have even less to offer than Baro Ki. Endgame leaves me nothing to do now. I literally do not know what to do after launching the game any more.
    2. Any news on the Dojo?
    Dojos had not seen any care for well over a year. Any news on the new rooms (personal living rooms for clan members, holographic targeting range, kubrow/kavat kennels, syndicate embassies)? Or maybe you will finally finish those not working solar map room and statue chamber?
    3. Weapon placing adjustments are still not working.
    Are they anywhere close to being fixed? BTW fixing memory leak that comes with using them will be great too.
    And if you will make the standard placing adjustable I will totally love you.
    4. While we are on the placing subject, maybe you will let us adjust cosmetics placement too? Will take away a lot of pain with clipping and misplacement.
    I may even dream of separate colouring one day. 
    5. Umbra.
    The hate is swelling in me now. I feel the pull of the Dark Side.
     

    • A Public Lunaro match will now only start when 6 people have joined the lobby. This alleviates joining a game in progress that may be very one sided and not enjoying Lunaro to its fullest! 

    And Lunaro is dead. 10+ minutes in lobby.

    Good job DE.

    As others have already pointed out, you have burned this game a lot.

    Ever tried to read the post before answering?

    Specifically for those who can't read past “3000 hours in 3 years” the point of my post is stated as: You (DE) better really really really think about those changes. Because each one costs players real money (on formas/cores etc) and time (leveling the frame).

    As were the problems of Warframe stated: the “Long Lag Epic”, game breaking bugs on Raids, Void towers, God-awful conclave with teleporting Tenno 600ms lags and 4 vs 1 fights, slightly less awful Archwing, constant nerfs, cosmetics that clip few feet away.

    Some of those problems are fixed, some are not. Most are not.

    I know, I know. Thank you, anyway. Aside from Warframe in these past 3 years were at least:

    MGS 5

    Resident Evil 1 HD

    Lords of the Fallen

    American Truck Simulator

    Subnautica

    Grim Dawn

    Borderlands The Pre-Sequel

    SWTOR

    Eternal Crusade

    Unreal Tournament

    Guns of Icarus Online

    Nosgoth

    Dreadnought

    Depth

    Fractured Space

    Dungeon Defenders 2

    Battlefield 4

    ARMA 3

    That's just from the top of my head. So no I am not fixated on Warframe, I just like it more then the rest of them.

    Also, those alterations mean

    Also this means you had not that much time on Raids in those 1300h. Trin is needed to keep team alive while bombing injectors on day 1. That's it. Nothing more. Without it you need voice connection to fastly command retreat (and noobs will not hear you anyway) or the team is dead. And that sucks.

    maybe it isn't for you any longer.

    I will decide for myself when and if to leave, if you don’t mind (and if you do – you know the drill). And if I do, trust me it will not be a good thing for the game. Money will go away with me (I bought every prime access this far and have every cosmetic item there is in the game) and a clan. Not a loss on it’s own (I get it), but I am usually not alone (at least I was not in Nosgoth, GRO/GRP and few others).

    To the point. It’s not ok. Core gameplay is near perfect (bar enemy progression system). And I am all good with DE expanding it, as long as those expansions do not break it.

    Conclave is broken. Slow, clunky and general balance is aimed at every frame to be equally useless and impotent (and of all people Blizzard  showed that you can balance characters with being completely OP in their own way by Overwatch). And it takes huge amounts of time and energy from the development team (and the designers of all the Conclave only cosmetics) that literally goes to waste.

    DE if you somehow hear me: Conclave did not fly. It is broken technically and in the core.

    Remove it, or really change it, do not try to repaint it the 10th time over. Fun thing - the original conclave was more fun (and technically stable) than the new one.

    Fixing is the hard way and IMO not worth it, but if DE goes this way any competitive PVP should be rock solid technically and have ping less than 50 (new "share your PC for a sec" will not cut this). It would be really great if PVP Warframes would feel close to the PVE ones. Now without the movement (efficiency, range etc) mods they feel like the crippled versions of themselves.

    Archwing is broken. They can fix it by new maps (IMO closer to planets in atmosphere or the big ocean ones) new wings and lots of tweaking.

    That is 2 parts of Warframe out of 3 that are not OK for you.

    If balancing frames (into ashes), they should give players who invested a lot in those frames some cores and something like instant polarity shifts to compensate.

    About Volt : DE actually did change him right before (close enough) they roll those “new and astounding game changes”. And it was not necessary and it went badly. So as I said before – do things right or don’t touch them. That way you can stay focused on the “new system”, and keep hours of working on filling the trash bin minimal and not piss people off. Win-win.

    Umbra was a Grand DE F-up. They just never considered a possibility of the storm that hit them with the Chinese Excalibur Prime. Everything after that was a “damage control”. Done not that good I might add.

     

    7 hours ago, SquireAngel said:

    You may have the most valid input in the world, but if DE wants to do something with their game and you don't like it, tough luck. 

     

    For both I might add. Because even companies can be wrong. And DE has history of being wrong enough times to get on a brink of closure before Warframe became a hit.

    So the more “valid input” is disregarded the closer they are to being wrong again.

    And if somehow you missed it, I do enjoy Warframe. Or I would not spend 3000 hours on it, would I? And I do appreciate all the hard work DE is doing. That work just does not always save them mistakes, so I am here to tell them about those mistakes (to bring awareness about them), to help them see and fix at least something.

    Because my appreciation they see in the bills and people I bring to this game. Not in trying to shut up everyone criticizing it.
