  1. Just because [DE]Steve wanted the UI to be like The Witcher 3 and Breath of the Wild does not make them Warframes' contemporaries. Destiny, The Division, Anthem, Borderlands, those are the kind of games which are your contemporaries, and though I haven't played all of them, I'd bet money that all of them have item labels.

    They only do it if you're with-in about 35 meters though

    Hmmm... I don't think this is right. I went to Plains of Eidolon to perform tests, and enemies will become alerted at any distance.

     

    Really? I was testing inside of the Grineer Asteroid tileset, given enough range the target of the scan didn't become alerted, but everyone roughly with-in that distance of me did.

  3. The drop-rate for this is unacceptable, and the nazi mods won't let me express my feelings about it, so all I'll say is that this is once again a clear demonstration that DE doesn't play their own game and that the designers at DE are incompetent.

  4. Managed to farm 30 of them today somehow, and have finally made it to 100/300. I hope whomever set this drop-rate (probably [DE]Sheldon) has their #*!%ing nuts rot off and passes kidney stones repeatedly for the rest of a long miserable life.

  5. Yeah, another S#&$ty drop chance grind courtesy of DE and their ineptitude, I'd seriously like to see Sheldon try his hand at this grind, then maybe chances for things would be reasonable for #*!%ing once.

  6. Clearly someone wants to change it but couldn't take the heart for it last time and was forced to revert it. This time they've snuck it in with the Gara nerfs so that the community will mostly be complaining about that, and this change won't receive attention from the player-base until it's been swept under the rug.

    The balance between these two and a way for dedicated players to have a drive to complete their drivers as such

    A soft cap seems the way to go

    As for casual players, there needs to be enough focus/affinity to have them achieve their goals

    DE seems unwilling however to allow any sort of reasonable progression for casual players and some suspect it is because there is an incentive to buy affinity boosters to help alleviate the grind for those players who actively farm focus.

  8. Even when you pick up the convergence orb in normal missions you still get rather pitiful amounts of focus, to the extent that the only way to actually get any meaningful amount of focus is to specifically farm for focus through the use of two very specific Affinity farming builds, and even those don't award large quantities of focus in the context of the costs of things in Focus 2.0. 

    If DE is worried about people progressing in Focus too fast, then a daily/weekly cap can solve that issue. But drastically reducing Focus gains when they implemented the convergence orb was a big mistake, now normal players don't make any progress just passively gaining Focus, and only those who specifically farm for Focus will. Even after a year and a half since Focus 1.0 they still apparently haven't realized this and dealt with the issue.

    Except, we aren't streaming Plains of Eidolon content on our channels? We are streaming on the Warframe channel, friend.

    I implore to you to start streaming yourself and start building a community to truly understand. Community is the reason I stream. It led me to finding my wife and I am extremely ecstatic to bring to you content for years to come!

    Oh as if the promotion of your name and stream in the message above isn't basically an advertisement for your stream. And to top if off your followers are suddenly astroturfing all over this thread, that the kind of "Community" that is the reason you stream?

    You are an advertisement, your stream is an advertisement, your followers are the product whose attention you're delivering to Warfame. You don't need to stream to be in a community, may of us players are in active alliances and clans, many of us go out of our way to help newer players, we don't make money of off it, we play the game because we enjoy it. It's impossible to determine whether you play for enjoyment or because that's your livelihood, but even then the only positive thing you do is introduce new players to the game because you're an advertisement.

    I would suggest to get to know Shul and myself. We are extremely humbled by getting an opportunity to go down to the studio. In fact, I am driving myself to the studio tomorrow morning to be a part of this.

    If you feel like we truly do not add anything to the community, you need to just think about what we do here not only for DE but for any community of any game we play on Twitch. More hours stream is more potential people coming in and asking about the game. More questions leads to more people actually downloading and trying the game for themselves. That in itself can lead to new players interacting with each other and possibly becoming clan mates and good friends.

    Broadcasters add so much more than you think. If you think we just hit the start streaming button and just sit there and play video games, you are missing the reason why Shul and myself stream daily.

    You are advertisements masquerading as fan content, you have "communities" around you insofar you need those eye-balls/followers to make you a more effective advertisement. You are being granted exclusive access so that people will watch your stream because that gains you viewers and gives DE an advertisement which looks like fan content.

    I have a name hi my names Shul, or Joe if you prefer real names, nice to meet you. :satisfied:

    I'll leave my worth up to personal opinion you're free to think what you want :thumbup:

    You're not just a person or a fan, you run a business and this is your job, you make money via your stream and DE is using you to try and acquire new players while you're using them to attempt to gain viewers and patrons so you can make money. So don't gimme that, "aww shucks I'm just a nice guy" shtick. You add nothing to the community, you don't influence the game positively, basically all of the Warframe Parteners can't fall down over themselves fast enough to say nothing but good things about DE, because why take an antagonistic relationship with the company who's signing your meal ticket.

    You could be using your position to amplify and elevate player feedback, but you don't do that. You could be stressing the importance of a better new player experience and tutorials, but you don't do that. You answer questions on stream, that's nice, but that's only for the people that watch you, because those are your viewers, which is how you make money. Your content isn't any different than any other random active Warframe players would look like if they streamed it, and if it all got taken down nothing much of value to the community would be lost.
