Nightwave: Series 1

[josuerp95]

One question, when does this episode end? since this week I lacked a thousand points to reach 30 and claim the armor, previous weeks I could not do a couple of missions and another failed me a survival mission of 1hr for the individual extraction

We are on week 7 and DE has previously said they want this first nightwave to last at least about 10 weeks so you should have about 3 weeks left

My understanding is that once you reach Max standing you can "Prestige" and all items will be replaced by Wolf Creds. please correct me if i am wrong

You are wrong!

He is not wrong. After you reach level 30, you can prestige. 10000 points for 15 wolf credits.

I kinda wish we could buy wolf beacons at 30 as well.  Make them cost 15 wolf credits 😛

[(XBOX)Calvindk]

Only 15 wolf credits pr. level af 30. Not worth my time, ill stop doing all the time consuming and only do the casual ones. 

[-Bv-Salem]

Saw the wolf 7 times by now, but can't get the damn wolf sledge bp lol at least give us beacons to hunt him xD

Upsides: New characters, increased control over when we get any given piece of candy, able to rack up NW standing in a wider range of places. Plus new shinies.

Downsides: Having to choose between the assorted items that one can get for wolf cred, with the process being potentially slower to catch them all. Assuming you want all of them, anyway.

 

So now there's an opportunity cost on getting things that used to be alert rewards. But there's also new additional things to be gotten along the way, including some things that were once plat-only, like slots.

Some people seem not super keen on having to do co-op things, which is fine. I mean, I know some people who play WF and am in a small clan, so I can get those, but I can see some people not liking that it's mandatory if you want the standing. Provided it's not necessary to do those to get all of the shiny things, I'm okay with the difference between doing those and not doing those meaning getting the top tier NW reward a few days later.

Stuff like the ayatan dealie is not so much a problem, I think. I had no non-starred ayatans when that first came up, and three days later I had done it. I run syndicate missions with big loot radar and check all the closets anyway in my quest for syndicate gift cards, so I find ayatans at an acceptable rate. The arbitration and sortie rewards also pay out in those on occasion, so getting them is manageable.

It's new players that are more a concern with this kind of thing, I think. Like, I have enough nitain. I have loads of nitain. Sure, once you clear rank 30 with Nora, it's 15 wolf cred per rank (thus far, anyway), and that's worth 5 nitain,  but- actually, okay, that's pretty fast for nitain. Reactors, catalysts and auras are still concerns, though. Like, you're going to want a lot of those. They still come up from gifts of the Lotus (we miss you, Space Mom), invasions and sortie rewards, but they're pretty rare from sorties and invasions that pay out reactors and catalysts are decidedly uncommon.

Also when is Hildryn's alt-hat coming up in there? I want that hat. It looks sweet.

 

I'm going to call Nightwave a net positive change, with the caveat that DE should be real careful around anything that might discourage new players. Maybe hide aura mods in a few other places or something.

im in a love hate relationship with nightwave

on one hand, i love the idea, and the rewards, and i love how theres a reason to keep playing when im in the mood to play warframe

on the other hand, i dont like how its time limited, if i was in the "play warframe every day for weeks" mood this wouldnt be a problem, but right now i wanna play other games, yet i feel forced to play warframe during this nightwave in order to get the rewards before they disappear, if theres one thing i hate its time exclusive rewards, if it was an alert or a normal event i wouldnt mind as much, those are only on for a few weeks and have a very specific thing you need to do, doing that over and over again can get you the reward/s fairly quickly, but needing to force myself to play over, i dont even know how many weeks, 5? 10? so i dont miss out on the wolf armour, syandana and umbral forma? i hate feeling like that, but again, i dont wanna miss out on these awesome final rewards (i swear if i get any "I wAnNa GeT tHe ReWaRdS wItHoUt WoRkInG fOr ThEm" replies ill go nuts, thats not what im saying, im fine doing it to get the rewards, but because its time limited and time exclusive im having to force myself to play when im not in the warframe mood, for 5 or 10 whole weeks, thats whats i dont like)

ive seen some people say that this wasnt supposed to be time limited, what the hell changed DEs mind? this would have been better if it wasnt for multiple reasons, not feeling forced to play the game when im burned out, being able to get the rewards in your own time, not locking out more of the story to people who werent here to play it, not feeling like another ripoff of fortsh1tes battlepass and so on

Nora Night... It's like a food that you've eaten too many times and now, you hate it.

 

Seriously, alerts mission was way better because we wasn't forced to make them, but the rewards was'nt enough.

Now that I'm finaly lvl 30, I feel like I'm free, I can now play to another game (like Joltyboi said). But you know what? When the next serie will be here, it would be the same pain for over 6 weeks. Because we all want an umbra forma... And when the serie of the Wolf will come again, do you realy think that players who have done this the first time would enjoy doing this again, with a Wolf that spawns 3 times in 2 months and force you to trade to have his weapon fully? No, it's not funny at all. We all have others games to play, and we are not all at the same MR. I'm pretty sure that all the people who are actually 30 in Nightwaves are high MR. Low MR have to do it over and over again if they want the umbra forma. 

Seriously, I really don't want to do the next serie. Farming this wasn't funny at all. 

I think you've just mispelled Nightmare, instead of Nightwave. It's Nora Night's Nightmare.

Im MR 11 and got it done this week

[zelvominus]

In my opinion the creds shouldnt be a reward but given each rank up alongside the actual rewards

[Darkvramp]

as of today, I have no urge to finish the nightwave or even play warframe anymore because of Nightwave. I liked how it made me play initially, but WHAT it made me play instead of allowing me to get stuff done that I needed to do in the game, instead it made me waste my time doing arbitrary stuff I just did not want to do. Nightwave needs to change to be more flexible, and have a few set things to do, but allow Me, in just playing the game, doing the stuff I like to do, or want/need to do, having that to progress the nightwave. Not this randow stuff I want nothing to do with.

[neohongkong]

either it need more weekly mission (and set cap to weekly "reputation/xp"  say, at max 5 rank a week) or each mission give more xp or extend the season.

Normal people cannot farm a season everyday with at least 2 hours, normal people farm at weekend all day. With normal people rate of farming, normal people cannot reaching lvl 20 and then good loot are gated in lv 20+ (say, umbra forma, arcane)

[MacDex]

Now that we are in the second-to-last week of the Wolf season of Nightwave, I can say that everything I was afraid of with regards to the way it is constructed has happened.

I played way more Warframe/Nightwave than I could justify towards my social life/family/working hours and I even was "lucky" because I became ill and spent a week at home, the last few days of which I could shell out several hours.

I still have no chance to reach the max tiers. I will finish somewhere between 25 and 27. All that work and not feeling rewarded! All that limited focus in playing while there were so much more other things worth to be done. 10 weeks struggling and still I will be missing e.g. the umbra forma. How is that any better than missing an alert since you are at work? This feels like invalidating two and a half months of playtime rather than just a few hours because you know that the alert will come up at a better time for you again anyways.

I seriously think that I am done with this Nightwave thing if the way it works is not greatly changed into something I can enjoy more.

I'm drained getting wolf to appear and then to drop something I want. It's a lottery in a lottery. What would really improve the next nightwave I think would be to give the boss a dedicated mission node in addition to them seeking you out. Otherwise the rng is far too high for this to be enjoyable...

You guys want to EXPONENTIALLY increase the rate at which the Wolf "intercepts" our missions and tries to kill us?  Fine.  But you should have then also made him EXPONENTIALLY less of a bloody bullet sponge.  You took what could & should have been an interesting fight that's been coming all along and turned it into simply a stupid annoyance.  Especially with his ridiculously low drop rate, where's the payoff in killing him, least of all fighting him?  There's no strategy to it. You made him and his 3 peons invulnerable to abilities, the peons are invulnerable period until he's dead and he's just a massive bullet sponge.  No tactics here.  It's just a boring fight with nothing to make it worth the effort. 

[Zeoran]

Not that I think you guys are listening, but I still think Nightwave would be far more worthwhile if we earned cred doing the challenges. It would also be nice to have more than just the same helmets, nitain, Vauban, weapon skins, aura's to spend it on.  You should have made things like the wolf salute, glyph, armor, k-drive skin, etc. ALL be purchasable with cred and allow us to gain cred by doing the challenges. Then we could get only what we actually WANTED to get and there would be a much better investment-reward set up than there is now, which is a joke. 

[CharMomone]

Please let us complete missed challenges, or add a few more weeks, I didn't have the time to play for the first few weeks and am only at rank 16 despite doing all of the challenges for the past couple weeks dailies and all.

[--Cyberius--]

Only a matter of time before even the 'DE can do no wrong' 'Nightwing is awesome', die hards, see sense and ask for the return of alerts, to at least run side by side to this pointless, annoying, grindfest.
