rune_me Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Anytime DE introduces something new, someone will think that they're wasting their time developing it. Fun fact: I thought that they were wasting their time making Fortuna. Different strokes for different people, and all that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From a personal perspective I see no reason for this to be added (thank god it's optional, at least that's one good thing), I've never been interested in conclave after trying it and seeing how poorly designed PvP is but because this is a syndicate I'm fully expecting (even though most don't want this) something exclusive behind it to 'force participation'. The people creating this and the people fixing bugs and issues are not the same people. meaning both can be done at the same time. developers have different teams working on different aspects of the game, so the introduction of this feature has no bearing on the existing bugs and issues being a thing. And just because you see no reason for it and will opt out, doesn't mean everyone will. I will give it a go myself, and I'll likely opt out once I've had enough of people going full sweaty stalker mode and killing me 1 too many times, but until that time I will welcome this feature and I will always welcome different things to do.

Lady_Lumia Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 The best possible answer is why they trying to add pvp is because the human controlled opponent is far more advanced than any AI in this game and much cheaper to implement it. It can be fun if they implement right but it can be terrible also if they messing up with the balances. I personally don't mind this because this is the less bad the greater bad is reading content drought threads and never ending cries on there is no proper endgame and literally not a single veteran pleased and can be pleased. Making a good pvp part is essencial to keep the game challenging and interesting also it is a good way to measure your skills. Of course it depends on the mentality because many does not like the pvp at all while others are content and anothers just wants so badly. Also this thread is not so constructive. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SneakyErvin Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 I honestly have no idea why they decided to implement it or any of the other pvp modes. I guess you can give them the benefit of the doubt the first two times they make some PvP content, cos you never know. But when you've failed 4 times already on both dedicated and side PvP projects (one even being shut down) I really wonder what DE are thinking. If 3 times a charm didnt work, the 5th try will not bring about any change either. Also it will be lovely to play Stalker mode with the matchmaking and top notch stability of WF peer-to-peer. /s 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(PSN)robi191291 Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 hace 51 minutos, (XB1)RDeschain82 dijo: I'm sincerely asking, someone help me understand. When the majority of the player base (I assume) plays this game for the PvE. Why waste time and resources on yet another PvP mode in which (I'm certain) the majority of the player base will opt-out of? And will mostly be dead on arrival. Seems like yet another giant waste of time and company resources. Wouldn't time and resources be better spent else where? For example instead of working on a Stalker PvP mode, how bout a Stalker/Acolyte quest/cinematic. Some Stalker lore, example: what happened to the Stalker after second dream? Who knows? Seems like a good opportunity right there. I think at least that would be more constructive for Warframe than yet another PvP mode barley anyone will play. Thoughts? 1) Because there are people that want this. 2) Because it´s a great idea, my only hope it´s that DE continue developing and not rush, and finally do something specific for this audience and not try catter everybody, because no matter the hater gonna hate. 3) Because with mistakes i love that DE try to put new perspectives to the game. 4) Because DE need to stop listen the community, because the community show that not have idea that want with this game. If always DE need learn of bioware it´s that copy that is suceed in other games it´s more important that try to maintain a game listen everybody. 5) I see you post, and you say that anthem it´s like 1000 times better than warframe, so, this is a strategic reason because anthem don´t have pvp. So yeah i prefer that DE listen the people that want support their game, and not people that advertised a different game in their forums. Simple and fair. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me it´s fair, like +20 updates for pve and only one for pvp. And DE need to start to understand that raids, conclave, rails, with a little portion of the community are great for the game. It´s people playing the game, people happy that can spend money in the game. What happen when you neglected this guys for the majority that you lose this guys, you lose their money, and gonna lose the other guys, because the people say one thing and after do other. And like i said, DE need time to develop, then judge if it´s good.

BornWithTeeth Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 1 hour ago, (XB1)RDeschain82 said: Because I love this game. And some of the direction it takes doesn't make any sense. This is a bit contradictory teeth, I'm sorry.. It's wasted resources. No more no less. Not everyone working for the company is an identical and interchangeable unit of labour. It’s not like a strategy game where you can just click to reallocate workers seamlessly from one project to another. Which is basically my way of saying that it’s not as simple as saying “Stop programming Stalker mode and work on fixing bugs instead!” For starters, DE do fix bugs. As a matter of fact, due to the way updates work, PC players typically face more bugs in the process of being fixed than console players do. In any case, the small amount of resources it takes to monitor the mode sounds like it might be worth it for those who enjoy it. Again, people playing this mode are not negatively affecting your game. The mode cannot screw up your experience, and canceling the mode altogether will not somehow bring you a fresh update of new content that much faster. Let it be, man. See how it works out.

Raids and PvP dont fit in the game, the lack of use of those modes shows that several times over. There is no revenue to be made from those modes, so simply ignoring them would be beneficial to DE. Releasing good modes for the majority of players would be the best thing to do, because it would attract most of those that wants raids or PvP in the game aswell. Those few that play/played WF for just the PvP or Raids are an extreme minority, one you can probably count on your two hands.

Actually you could argue that bit is the biggest consumer of time/coding... At 2017 tennocon (and most streams since) it was basically activate mode (likely dev hack rather than clean 'bug free' code), pick a map and go hunt some one. No concerns over standing, rewards, how it will interact with the mission (devs could interact but mainly didn't), what would happen with a host migration (we already know that's going to happen as some have said they'll do it), power balance (can see the threads about OP or weak stalker already)....and I'm sure you've experienced the immortal stalker which can't die at some point in the game.. that would be fun in stalker mode wouldn't it. Either way, the fact it's needing additional coding means that time is being taken away from things like bug fixing and finishing existing things, which imo is far more important than a new game mode.

(XBOX)BKRS Veeco Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 1 hour ago, Sean said: Yep, there will still have to be maintenance done to it after it is implemented that will further take away from areas that would be more beneficial. Frame Fighters is the best example of this. A project that was done as something on the "side" Something that most of the community knew would end up with a lower player activity than even conclave Still requires steady maintenance even though it has even less people playing it than Conclave I would play frame fighter more, but the lag is horrendous, and the game is bugged. However, there are people who are only here for over, but there are people who would like a good PvP mode, there's been plenty of posts all over the internet looking for a good PvP mode, honestly I feel they should just polish Dark Sector's PvP mode and run with it. I'm not against PvP by any means, but when your main component to a game is as bugged as it is, any "spare time" should be dedicated to fixing that instead, especially end game components.

The people have different taste, so the people need different things, we not are clones my friend, for example i am a lore nerd, the sacrifice for me it´s the most important update in the game, for others it´s dissapointed. People said that fortuna it´s bad, for me only need more missions, and it´s incredible because the lore is superior. Poetry. So yeah this community have a portion that want lore, other endgame, other fashion frame, other endurance missions, other pvp, other open worlds, the secret it´s try to sattisfied all, not only one portion, and if one part it´s small do things to attract more. If you catter always the same, you only retain the same, not grow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Letter13 Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 They're not really wasting time or resources on it. Stalker Mode has existed for quite some time already; a DE staff member decided to try and make it for fun and they did, now, after it existing for more than a year on their end, they're polishing it up for release to the players. The infrastructure and code for it isn't new in the grand scheme of things, I really doubt they're pulling teams and teams away from Railjack or The New War or Fortuna in order to work on it. They didn't stop one day and say "hey let's develop this completely new gamemode and put a halt on other development for it." In the case of stalker mode, it was a "let's see if it's something that can be done" side project, a hobby even, and turns out it could, and it wound up being extremely fun, as Papa Stalker (Rebecca) demonstrated on prime time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She was one-shotting Raptor and then trying to pick up the explosives. (Not sure why she picked that mode, but she didn't want to grief the squad she invaded when they were already in the middle of a boss fight.)

Ballpark figures, what do you reckon? Everyone signs in after the update, gets an inbox message telling them they have to choose in or out via settings? I agree that the default makes a big difference, but I’m curious what kinda percentage you might expect would choose ‘In’ if the default is out vs those who would go and select ‘Out’ if the default is in?
