Plague Concept

[wyrmwx]

So I would want something like a "Nidus Cyst" + Corrupted Blood Incident (WoW) to be in Warframe for a limited amount of time (e.g. a month.)

Basically there is an event with 3 missions.

At the end of a third one something cinematic happens during the extraction, giving your warframe some sort of a sickness. (e.g. it's an infestation mission, and on the last one there is a new form of Technocyte that affects warframes even stronger than

!QUEST SPOILER!

Спойлер

the Helminth, as found out in the Sacrifice,

mutating warframes to a horrific point.

After that any player you play with gets infected (the basic effects and signs would be visual changes - like a bump or swelling, that mutates later on into an infested mass), and any warframe you equip after that gets infected as well.

(Developers would also keep track of how it grows for statistic purposes, and after the event post the results on the open.)

Later on you get a pack of blueprints for parts of a vaccine and donate built parts to a global storage. (The ones who are more active get the vaccine first and thus become immune (per account)).

(There would also be a negative effect that wouldn't ruin the gameplay and that would automatically finish by the end of the event, so that lazy farmers wouldn't be messed up.)

So basically you want what we already have as the helminth infection nidus spreads. That small zit we have on our necks that we weren't able to cure for the first month and everyone was crying about on the forums. Yeah if you don't see that it's because everyone wants their fasionframe and cures it ASAP. I for one only left it on my nidus and I only play him when farming endo.

Well Nidus Cyst is boring.

Literally no effect, and no one cares, easily removable and etc.

And what exactly would we gain from doing this event.... all it seems like is farming to get blueprints to cure ourselves of a magical virus which has just come from nowhere.  Considering what we know about the frames now it does seem rather unlikely it would happen to them.

I'm all for events to keep us occupied but I kind of want something worthwhile out of it and this doesn't really have anything.

Also as said, nidus zit is gone as soon as possible on my frames too, I only keep some non prime frames, which I don't use, with it still 'alive' just in case we get another pet, would love a helminth kavat for example, that requires it.

It has to be a global effort in order to fight the plague to get rid of the debuff.

Consider how huge of a storm there was around Pyrus Project before the rewards were revealed. Now, your event idea has literally no reward other than "game's not annoying me with some sickness thing anymore". You would get eaten alive by angry comments if this became a thing.

So basically the 'reward' is removal of a nerf to all frames... yeah considering the star chart is easy anyway that's not really enough incentive to even bother with it considering it will 'end' when the event is over. 

In all honesty, now I've read it again it really feels like a newbie, or one of the nerf everything crowd, has come into the game and found that they can't kill stuff and as such wants to nerf everyone, probably by percentage based system so the higher strength/tier players get affected more, so they can 'catch up'. 

You might as well put the idea on the scrap heap right now, it's not going to go anywhere with there being no rewards.

It's actually super easy to transform it into a worthwhile concept. Imagine this:

"A terrible technocyte-based plague is killing people all around the system! Alad V seeking to redeem himself from past mistakes involving the virus asks the Tenno to help gather research materials for a cure."

Put like a new Infested boss as the secret end mission. Maybe Phorid rework, huh?

Boom, done. Rewards would be a standard weapon of sorts, a trophy (maybe clan trophies as well) and stuff.

Which is basically a copy paste of the current relay rebuild.... while I know there will be some sort of overlap when it comes to concepts that's literally what we are doing (or have done) right now for the relays.
