(PSN)Black-Cat-Jinx Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 I think that DE needs to run an experiment with one of several mechanics added to ESO. If it doesn't work, they can revert it. The idea here is to eliminate the viability of leaching entirely and insure that the people playing this game mode are there because they want to be, not because you can fully level a piece of gear in two rotations. This is necesary not only for ESO but because there are perfectly viable means to level gear outside of eso which are being neglected because this is easier. The first option would be to lock ESO so that it can only be accessed if all your weapons, like your warframe, have already been maxed. Price of admission is you can't come in with unleveled gear. If people don't like that?... On average you can level two, sometimes three pieces of gear with an 8 round match so that leads to my next suggestion. Leaving early means you receive no progress. If you leave the match before say the fifth round, which really any competent group of four players should be able to achieve even without crowd control frames, it will be as if you were never in that match. Further if you have two pieces of gear being leveled, odds are that will not be enough to max that gear so it will encourage you to keep playing, or at the very least not finish leveling in two rotations and leave. Five rounds means atleast the other players get a substantive meaningful match before people start flaking out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSG501 Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 This suggestion has popped up before and basically if fails because of situations like the below... I have a freshly forma'd level 0 tenora which already has mutliple forma on it prior to this forma, it also has a riven and a catalyst... I'm rank 27 and so even at rank 0 I have 56 capacity (with each forma'd slot cost being half)... but in your scenario I can't take it but I can take a considerably weaker mk1 braton without a catalyst or forma... see how stupid the idea of rank 30 restrictions are.... Your second idea to not get progress - There are more than just levelling as reasons why someone leaves at an earlier round... Having said that DE have also said that onslaught and eso are viable options for levelling weapons so..... and realistically there isn't exactly much reason to do eso after you get all the non relic rewards... Essentially it boils down to this if you're unhappy with people leaving early, there is recruit chat where you can look for other people that want to stay as long as you do. In public groups players can play how they want to play and leave when they want to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree. There is no need to make changes to ESO, when Players can form their own squads through the use of the "Recruiting" chat channel, and discuss all of your concerns before starting the mission. *If you are joining a "Public" ESO mission, you can't expect the other Players to have the same goals.

PollexMessier Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 Here's a post I made a while ago with some similar points. I honestly think a feature like this would completely save the game mode 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Essentially it boils down to this if you're unhappy with people leaving early, there is recruit chat where you can look for other people that want to stay as long as you do. In public groups players can play how they want to play and leave when they want to. First off no I don't agree it's a stupid idea "because someone will bring a mk1 Bratton because nobody is going to do that. If de wanted to abandon the escelating difficulty and just start at about level 5 or 6 and keep it there, allowing people to just drop in and out as they wish meaning that potentially one instance could go on four hours just shifting hosts periodically, that would work. but being honest, DE isn't competent when it comes to net coding so they would not be able to handle the changes in hosting. As it is, 90% of the time if the host quits the entire event will crash and you will lose 100% of your progress when it spits you out. So yes, I absolutely believe people who drop out before a fixed point should lose 100% of their progress because if they were the host, it's probable that is what they just caused to happen to everyone else. SO should absolutely be a viable arena for leveling frames and gear. If you want to level your three formaed what ever, play in onslaught, Elite onslaught should absolutely be reserved for people who are looking to do their best, not play two rounds for easy mastery. It is wrong to think "if you didn't get a team you should have a negative experience." Seriously. Say that outloud. "De, deliberately, wanted one of their high level end game events to be used for MR grinders to put on one piece of gear, play two rounds, and then quit, so as to totally ruin the experience for everyone else, they deliberately wanted this to happen, and it is functioning as intended".... You really think they built ESO with that in mind? Any other game would literally hit players with a temporary ban for this kind of behavior. Not should. Do. It actually happens. "You're exploiting a game mode in a way that harms other players, and are now in time out because we actually put value on player experience" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"You're exploiting a game mode in a way that harms other players, and are now in time out because we actually put value on player experience" If you suggested a third game mode finder with 8 waves as the prerequisite, ok sure, but people are not going to 8 waves for many different reasons. Not sure game reasons, but there are many reasons in real life not to go to 8 waves! Forcing people will only force them out of the game mode, not play more. Your idea would destroy ESO. I certainly wouldn't play it. I have Khora and no way I'm grinding for emphermas. I play only to level gear and I don't need to go far to max, especially if I have a booster. If I wanted to go to 8, I'd play a frame that can easily solo it (volt, saryn, excal, etc.) or host, not make everyone else suffer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xzorn Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 I sometimes wonder what ESO would have been if it wasn't abducted and used as a Focus farming tool. (stated by DE) I don't even really consider it much of a game mode honestly. It's like all the bad parts of Survival put into a different mission. In the end ESO just puts a neon sign over the problems with Affinity gains in this game. Quantity over Quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the point went over your head....the point I was making is that I COULD take a mk1 braton at rank 30 even though as you say it's pretty useless and it's far far weaker than my MR27 rank 0 tenora with it's multiple forma, catalyst and riven (with 56 capacity at rank 0) which I CAN NOT use because of your arbitrary rank 30 restriction. Now do you see why it's a stupid idea to use rank as a restriction. Play onslaught you say further in that message... well I have nothing I want from onslaught (like many others I would assume) but I do still have stuff I need to get from ESO....

000l000 Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 (edited) I'm much more concerned about ESO being barely playable without a Saryn than actual leechers. At least you can leave after you just spotted one as opposed to how progression is basically linked to Saryn endless spreading dps. I don't see that many leechers though, less than newbies or people who are leaving at the first or second wave. And if i meet one, i just leave.
