(PSN)WatAthot Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 I would like some feedback on what they were thinking when someone brought up the great idea “let’s make warframes take 3 days to finish making even though we know they spend all of there time trying to farm all of the parts” like at least make it a day not 3 that’s way to much time to wait for a warframe.

Didn't we already come back after 12 hours also though? This disgustingly long build time is just a futile attempt at extending the gameplay time because there really isn't anything interesting to do after you put in a few hundred hours, that or it's another newbie trap to get them to spend plat to speed things up.

(PSN)WatAthot Posted October 22, 2018 Author Share Posted October 22, 2018 true, or you just go play a different game for that 3 days then play with the warframe a little the. Go back to farming other things that to know will also take a ridiculous amount of time to make Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreeWilliam Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Because that's the FREE way? Either you support the developers or you wait a bit. *shrug* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GinKenshin Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 To make you pay obviously, and since when do we complain about F2P mechanics in a F2P game? It’s not like you have nothing to do in these 3 days either, and if you have a lotta time to play then that’s on you, because the game is design for short play periods anyway, so 3 days isn’t that much when you play 2-3h daily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean... you can farm Warframe-parts easily in less than an hour. The only stuff that needs time is stuff that drops from specific rotations in survival, because you can't speed up the time needed for an rotation to occur. Or Interception, as you can't speed up the amount of points you get with 4 Towers active. But in general farming a Warframe is easy and takes no time at all. So that's why there is the time-gate of 3 days. And let's be honest, if you haven't finished everything else in the game, then you have enough to do while you wait for the Warframe to finish.

Shalath Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 To make you so impatient to get that new shiny you buy some plat to rush it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoomyGordo Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 maybe this "we shouldnt have to wait long after farming parts" argument would work back when the parts were actual drops from the boss that could get lost or fall through the level. Back then warframe parts were also no gaurenteed drops from bosses. Took me about 120 runs of raptor over 7 days to get all the parts for nova. tons of helmets barely any chassis and only 1 system drop. yall have it easy. if you dont like the wait then pay up. otherwise come back in 3 days or play the game while you wait Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birdframe_Prime Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Yeah, it's one of the only two ways that DE actually have any push at all for you to buy Platinum. They put longer lengths of time on the builds than most people want to wait, and they make sure that extra Weapon and Warframe slots cost Platinum too. Other than that, Cosmetics are the only thing you really have any incentive to pay Plat for. For everything else? Grind. Or wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarBaby2 Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 One of the many big questions... but, lets face it, on the way to mass market appeal, this too will fall someday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vanrythzx Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 i never understood the people which bothers to wait for a frame/weapon, you farm something different in the meantime anyway, if something is done, level it up, bake more, if that's done, repeat, only lazy and impatient people rush things, there is literally so much S#&$ to do, that the waiting time should be the least you be worried about. as a new player it may seem like p2w or lazy design, but it really isn't.

To be fair, if nothing else, until Excal Umbra one could point at lore reasons for manufacturing times, but now... I can see why (new) people are complaining. They done goofed there...

I can see why (new) people are complaining. They done goofed there... If I wasn't half asleep i'd write up a fairly decent lore reason such as; we already recovered parts of excalibur umbra so he was already half built and rather than effectively growing a new frame (which requires us to effectively clone and grow a human then imbue them with infested stuffs) all we had to do was stick some umbra bits together and grow part of a frame. Also if I wanted to simply incorporate the rush mechanic into that I could say that dumping plat into your foundry massively overloads the circuits to speed things up but also wears out a certain component so Ordis has to use your plat to make/buy a new part, then when Umbra was built, because we already had those parts or something Ordis said screw this i'll let the operator break the foundry - out of spite because he didn't like the idea of re-building Umbra... Or something... And then being a stellar space-dad and as an apology Umbra came back and repaired the foundry instead of Ordis That kinda made sense, and suits me just fine if I really needed a lore explanation.

Sure, whatever floats your boat, I guess, I don't care either way, BUT DE are a company with a product, and they want to expand the reach of said product... all I'm saying is, it could be more profitable in the long run to drop f2p mechanics like time gating in favour of mass market appeal. Don't forget, as the game grows, their portfolio of plat items grows, and soon it might be: "Thanks for all your patience, but now we no longer need time gating to make money" for us old players...

Tyanya Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 (edited) I'm always baffled by these waiting for foundry items posts, it's as if the whole game comes screeching to a halt the moment you start building a warframe, why are you waiting? Just carry on playing as you were with what ever it is cooking in the background. ☺️ It's not as if you're ever left without a frame to play with and there's always plenty to do. Edit Probably should have read the other posts before posting myself, Vanrythzx said all this already. 😉 Edited October 22, 2018 by Tyanya Vanrythzx made me do it. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArchXDiablo Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 You should have plenty of things to do than just wait for a warframe to be built, or weapon for that matter. If you can't be patient, pull out the cash. Simple enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
