Yeah, as I feared, it's virtually unplayable on Switch. Performance is ok but graphics are hot garbage. Guess I'll just wait a few days *Disclaimer: This is not an attack on DE, just continued disappointment in the performance on Switch. The new graphics are beautiful and can't wait for a full game update*

My main account is on Switch. If you've never played on Switch consider yourself blessed. Graphics are downscaled and washed out and lag/zoning is excruciating. 30-45 secs to load POE, 60-90 secs for Vallis. I can't speed run PT with a team because they are literally done and heading back by the time I zone in. Even solo PT can be rough as so.etimes the lag will cause me to lose phases. And no, it's not just an internet issue, this is all Switch players. Can't use certain weapons because the bullets miss even if held on target. Some MR tests took several days of practice and retries (i.e. the speed running nodes). And I'm LR3. Switch has the lowest amount of LR players per capita I, unfortunately, didn't know that WF wasn't actually meant to look/run like this until I was like MR20+, and way too much time to comfortably start account on a different console (which I didn't even have as an option at the time). I have comparison screenS#&$s if anyone wants to see what WF on Switch looks like Any Switch player that gets to MR25+ has my utmost respect. Yes, I know that, that wasn't what I was requesting. In fact, I'm pretty certain I made reference to Founders being first in. No?

Thanks, not really a Twitter user. Hopefully only days. I'm waiting to play on PS so every day is a spoiler minefield. I do feel sorry for Founders though, they are guinea pig test subject

DE, could we get a basic ETA timeliness for which consoles will get dripped into cross-save? It doesn't have to be exact, just a basic timeline. My main is on Switch, and I plan to cross-save on PS5. I do not want to play Whispers on my Switch because of the downscaled graphics and lag. With these beautiful updates to the lighting and scenery I really want to have my first experience on good graphics, and I'm worried that the new graphics with make NSW gameplay less than enjoyable. I know you don't want to give any definitive times just in case there's issues, but just a basic best-case & worst-case "phases". I would love to see NSW cross-save early in the schedule, maybe even during or right after Founders. I feel NSW players would have the better experience (if playing on other platforms), have the lowest player base to have to manage, and on general appreciate the love towards NSW players. I, and other NSW players, would probably be more than happy to volunteer as early testers. Please 🙏 😁 Thank you 😆

I woul love to see a auction house style market system. Kiosks on every relay and they could have a plat-purchase segment you can get on market fir orbiter shopping. It'd make mineral/gen/rep fish purchasing so much easier. I'm LR3 but still mine a lot of resources to build kit/zaw weapons to play with stats and builds. BUT, I would nit want this to have some extreme Plat tax per purchase.

No, I don't mean a WF account on PS, I meant an actual PS profile to link my account to

Thanks Malikili, that helps comfort my soul a little. Now, hopefully, NSW won't have to wait long after Whispers drops. The new graphics look beautiful and I don't want to sully that 1st-time experience with NSW diwnscaling. I know a lot of players anxious to get off of NSW I wonder how this split wallet on cross save will affect market. It sounds like NSW only players will be it's own sub-market while PC/PS/XB will become a new merged market. I wonder if that will create artificial inflation or some scalping shenanigans? Say Fusion Cores are 100p in the new merged market, but 150-200p in the NSW market, what's to stop someone from buying them all up on PS, logging over and reselling in NSW market? I've met tons or honest players, even ones correcting too high offered plat (I've tested), but there's just as many, if not more, that would trip a hobbled Ostron for a single plat. Lol

A little off topic, bit still related. I agree that it appears Switch players are getting screwed in the long run. So here's my questions for clarification: 1) Primary account on Switch (LR3), but will be playing on PS going forward. If NSW Plat is locked to NSW will there be an option to buy Plat for PS or shared wallet, i.e. 2 separate plat wallets? Or will we be completely locked out from any type of Plat trading with other platforms? Or if I spend all my NSW Plat will I be able to buy and use the new "shared" Plat? In my head I'm picturing it similar to gifted vs bought plat. 2) If I create a PS account to use to merge, all my Pre-Nov 24 gear/tennogen/etc will get transferred, but I will have to start progression from scratch? How does that work for story/level locked items? I'm specifically referring to Umbra/Umbral mods, and builds using Umbral mods (if I have to redo Sacrifice) Switch gameplay is already miserable, and only getting worse as game graphics get better and more "intense". It takes up to a minute to zone into POE, up to 2-3 mins for Vallis, and everything is washed out and downsvaled graphics. The new, but BEAUTIFUL, graphics in Whispers are going to kill load, and probably look like trash from the downscaling. As if is I probably won't be playing Whispers until cross save gets around to us lowly Switch players TLDR: I just want to play my LR3 NSW account on PS5 permanently, keep all my gear and progression, and be able to plat trade

Or, hears a thought. A rotating special node with exclusive drops, maybe new Riven themed items, cosmetics, etc and you buy entry with slivers, similar to Mutalist Alad V. Or like MR tests. I actually have an idea I've been playing around with for a way to better Riven stats, selectable "locking" in a specific stat line, but drastically increasing Kuva cost. Might be the opportunity to even just add more Kuva purchases

Nope, that's exactly how I run. Full group, tried several different nodes. I specifically target Exterminates u less I feel like mixing it up a little and will run the occasional Skirmish. And yes, I do understand how the drop happens, it's not rotation it's a bonus at the end. And yes, I understand how RNG works also. Now, that being said, sometimes I do luck out and get a couple drops back to back. However, from the original farm, I really don't think DE's 8ntention is to have players farm 6hrs with no drops at all. Again, RNGesus can be an unforgiving loot god, but how many casual, even some regular players, are going to want to return to a farm that might waste 6hrs for nada? I'm used to the grind, so I will for a time, but everyone has their limits. I'm just suggesting a re-evaluation of some RNG rates, and maybe a balance. Even like 1-3 guaranteed (depending on which Proxima), then just keep the same rate of bonus. Players are at keast getting something they want for their time, and encouraged to return for the chance of a fatter bonus drop.

There's a few things missing. DE, no Plague Star Loots? Has it been fixed? I was REALLY hoping for the Zaw parts. If no Plague Star, then what? Maybe Naberus next year?

I know it's probably been posted and requested, but more items to spend Riven Slivers on would be amazing. I collect dozens more than I actually spend

Wow, I wasn't expecting this to trigger an extended conversation. Glad I'm not the only one passionate about this. To slightly add on to my previous entries I am NOT looking for a "gimme" grind, I'm more than happy to put the time in. It's the nature of tge RNG that gets me. And I actually enjoy Railjack (for what content there is) but the draw for others isn't always there, so finding groups can be a task. Whether it's a leaner loot pool, separate rolls, or guaranteed drops, the Holokey grind hurts. They don't even have to add the Glast weapons to the actual Sisters, but give a guarenteed 10 or 20 Holokeys per sister. Thanks for all the supportive, and even counter arguments. I enjoy seeing everyone's ideas on how the player experience could be improved. More posts means a higher chance it'll catch DE attention. :)

Yeah, I'd rather have a 100% at 4 vs 30% at 10. There is a fine line when even hard-core grind players throw up their hands and admit that time sink is just too much, especially with all the other stuff in the game we need to farm. At least some of those have Plat options for those that don't have the time to farm (or just don't want to). Put them in Sister pool as an alternative

I was thinking, as part of the companion rework, maybe a couple new utility Sentinels might be cool. Here's my idea for one: "Midas" mining Sentinel. New mining laser as weapon & Gem/Mineral auto mining mods. The Sentinel can work similar to a Riven challenge to unlock or "train" different tiers of auto mining. With Sentinel as companion: 300 common, 200 uncommon, 100 rare (of each type) to unlock auto mining for a specific resource, and the tanked level of mod gives it a higher chance to bonus, i.e. (maxed rank) 100% chance for normal drop and 50% or 75% chance for bonus, 15s cooldown for auto mining. Mods could be legendary and sentinel itself could be locked to MR20-30. Newer players have to put in the time while "veterans" get to relax a bit. Could even create new legendary mods & mechanics for auto fishing too (have to equip a separate leveled spear for each open world). Usually by MR 25-30+ players have already mined/fished for all the base level vendor items, so these could be for players that want to craft additional kit weapons to play around with, or bulk farming for standing to get additional items to decorate or sell. I might be a minority, but I have a hard time mining and fishing. My relexes are as good as they used to be. And it's nit a case of "get good", cuz I've had a lot of practice. This is just an idea, not a demand. Might be a nice QOL upgrade for a lot of players
