Nightwave: INTERMISSION!

[Biosko 34]

Why remove the friend mission. I barely get a reason to do something with my clanmates even though I want to.

[The-Shmaw 6]

No umbral forma? Literally the only reason to do nightwave

Funny how that acknowledgement only came AFTER people complained that not only was there nothing to do, but we couldn't even access the alert rewards [like nitain] till they finally gave us the next Nightwave.

 

Notice how the final reward is the leaked Ephemera and they even state it will not be available only there [like it was just thrown in there to have a good final reward].

I mean, you're right, it hasn't been handled the best but I will happily take the opportunity to get nitain again, (along with some bonus rewards in the process) then be completely dry of content for the next few weeks. I'm more satisfied with an acknowledgment of poor preperation and somewhat of a remedy for it than to have nothing at all.

Sure the eidolon ephemera is getting dropped here, but as someone who's not a fan of eidolon hunting (of which I'm fairly sure will just be added to the drop table or something) I'll take it. Heck, maybe veterans are a bit mad that newbies will have the opportunity to get a potentially rare ephemera but I say so what? Not like it'll be exclusive in the future anyway.

This sounds like all good changes. I really liked Nightwave and conceptually I thought it was a neat idea. It brings some life into the game world; there are people doing actual things instead of "go here and kill bad guys for...reasons". I especially appreciate having the friends requirements dropped. It can be really hard to gather my gaming friends together, and many of them don't even play Warframe. I was able to get the final armor reward and I didn't have to complete all the weekly quests each week, but psychologically I understand where many players were coming from feeling forced to play to get all the rewards. It was mentioned that you only had to complete about 60% of the quests to get everything, but seeing timers can really freak people out especially in an activity that most people use to relax. It just goes to show what powerful motivators game activities like these are. You have great power Digital Extremes. Use it for good. 😄

20k kuva is hour and some minutes on Kuva Survi.....

But good lord, at what cost? 

I'd rather do Nightwave for it than spend an hour in Kuva survival. Bleh.

Thank you!

[1000_Up 28]

Nice! Thanks for keeping this running while the other great stuff comes to fruition.

Rewards are just a joke to engame players. No armors? Syandana? You had so much time. Totally disappointed as a 6 year warframe player 😞

Because it is not  season 2 but somethink betwen s1 and s2 to give players possibility to get wf helmets and nitain 

[ES3M 54]

I never thought Nightwave would make my day but it's been a slow one so, thanks!

You must be new here.

I hope that three orokin cells was a joke, or somebody was off by a multiple of 10. Three cells is a joke for the amount of standing you need, in comparison to just farming and getting getting about 5 or 10 times more in a single run

Oh what a surprise... nightwave 2 is actually delayed and not ready like it was suggested...

DE you seriously need to get a grip on the time management and 'estimates' of releases.

Would you prefer they pull an EA or Activision and release it when it's clearly not ready? Or put unnecessary pressure and "crunch" on the developers to get it done faster?

You're the one who needs to get a grip!

I would have preferred an Umbra Forma over an Aura Forma to be honest.

[LostMilip 36]

What if I don't complete a "missed act" because I don't want to? Now I have to look at it on the list for another week?

[Sean 3,748]

Suggestion:

Replace "3 Orokin Cells" with "1 Orokin Cell Blueprint".

 

While to some, like myself, this won't be much of an addition (I already have quite a few of those blueprints), this would at least give the option to those that want it. Though would also suggest tweaks to the cost when making an Orokin Cell as, in all honesty, they are far greater than what they should be.

HAHAHAAH SLOTS??? Like a Slot Machine?

Spin to win boooiiisss, loot boxes and gambling coming to Warframe.

End of an era. 🤣😂🤣😂🤣

I hope you're trolling. No one can be this intentionally stupid. 🙄

[TALISMAN_XVII 167]

Interesting to say the least, I'm assuming the 3 orokin cells is a typo. As for the ephermea.. I was under the illusion it was going to be rewarded for a players proficiency in capturing eidolons / number of successful eidolon captures (at the very least related to the eidolons).

This now appears to of been thrown in as filler content to keep things ticking over which is a shame.

Nah mate, such are the usual alert-rewards in Warframe! Cruel jokes. LUL

Why do I need to get a grip, I know how to estimate my time required when I do my work and don't make out that it's done when it's not. 

Considering how long they've been doing warframe for they should be able to give a better internal estimate for when something will be ready so as not to require an 'intermission' nightwave because they were late finishing nightwave 2... and they wouldn't be putting this out if nightwave 2 was finished now would they.

Remember DE have basically been saying it was ready since nightwave 1 finished and that the 'delay' between nightwave 1 and nightwave 2 was a 'bit of pause' and sync between platforms. 

Oh and for the 'crunch' they always seem to end up in... they could always hire some more staff rather than running with a small team, which people keep seeming to mention...

 

edit: as to comparing with EA/activision and buggy releases... DE does release stuff with plenty of bugs, even after declaring it's 'ready for release'..

Do you actually work at DE? Do you have firsthand experience with their work process? If you do, very well. If you don't, be quiet!

It's clear they are spread thin right now, what with work towards Railjack, getting the console versions of the Jovian Concord into CERT on top of preparations for Tennocon next month. Expecting them to do all that and get Nightwave Season 2 synched on all platforms is flat out unreasonable. Be thankful they even added this intermission season so we're not all sitting around with our thumbs up our butts.
