Rivyn Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 Empyrean hasn't even been out two full days, yet the forums have been consumed by 'doom and gloom' threads. We've had, what, two hotfixes for some bugs? Hasn't even been given a proper chance to settle, and already people are screaming that the sky is falling. Why? Most of it isn't even constructive criticism, just 'I don't like this, thus Warframe must be dying.' Maybe I'm just biased, since I really enjoy the release, but I like to think I can see things somewhat objectively. Can't we at least give it a week before claiming the game is doomed? 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.Fluffins Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 (edited) Drama and polarizing threads attract attention, and what these people mainly want is attention towards their tantrums (kinda like spoiled kids in toy stores who start to cry when something goes even slightly against their wish). Well spoken feedback threads in appropriate section do not achieve this goal. Edited December 14, 2019 by Mr.Fluffins 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(NSW)Sniperfox47 Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 I think a lot of people are just let down because they built Empyrean up to be this grand change in the way Warframe handles content and at the end of the day it's really much of the same. @Mr.Fluffins I think that's a bit of a disingenuous way to frame it. People voice their opinions because that's how they feel. There may be some attention seeking trolls in the crowd, but I think a lot of them have a vision for how they want Warframe to be, and want to see the game live up to it's potential. I haven't gotten a chance to play Empyrean so I can't speak to any of that content, but I can say for sure that Liches disappointed me because they're the antithesis of everything DE presented them as in the original announcement. I'm still looking forward to Empyrean, but I have to say the randomized loot, insane resource costs, consumable resources that are also needed to craft upgrades and numerous other design decisions have me worried. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LazyKnight Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 (edited) It is still better to have people negative rather than being apathetic and silent towards an update. Negative at least means they care a bit but have some gripe over 'x'. Edited December 14, 2019 by LazyKnight 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KnossosTNC Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 (edited) Eh. People have opinions. There are legitimate complaints about bugs and balance. That's normal. There are also people who seem to be pissy because DE are trying to do something new and different instead of coming up with better ways of doing Mot, Hydron or Taveuni runs. Rather less legitimate, but that's normal too. And actually, from my experience, this isn't bad at all, comparatively. I've seen worse complaint storms, even though I've only been around for two years. Launches of Nightwave and Kuva Liches come to mind. I heard there were even worse ones before my time, so yeah, this is not bad at all. Anyway, just getting my thoughts out there. Don't think this thread will last long; forums tend to frown on "complaining about complaining" threads.

bad4youLT Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 I like empyrean and it brought people back to , not fortuna levels but people are enjoying , tho the bugs should really be fixed , I had so many soft locks and crashes its not even funny . 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aldain Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 Everything isn't perfect, sure some complaints are petty but not everyone is going to agree than Empyrean got off to a good start, I mean there are bugs galore as well as no instructions and DE even was aware at launch that there were going to be problems, there are no less than 3 sub-threads in feedback from day one. DE knew it was going to be a rough landing, and to many people it is. Not all unhappiness is negativity either, some of it is general feedback, and people do have a right to voice their disappointment even when not giving feedback.

None of them. Which is why people being disgruntled and "negative" shouldn't be a surprise, it happens every time any update happens. Nor should the disappointment or negativity be dismissed outright. If people never said anything bugs would run rampant and things would never get changed at all.

You might learn to duck, but that doesn't mean that a low hanging door frame is a good thing. You don't just leave things broken because there are ways to work around it. "Hey look the roof is leaking, just put a pot under it and it'll be fine" doesn't solve the issue, it ignores it in the laziest way possible. And before you know it that leak turns into a destroyed roof. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, the costs for repairs being double what it costs to just build the default part, and needing to do that multiple times in rapid succession to see if the parts are worthwhile seems to be a bit much to me, but again haven't experienced it so we'll see ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anthraxicus Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 2019 was the year of half baked content which won't get addressed or fixed for months, no lore, no core gameplay features, no quests and Empyrean is just more of all these things combined. End of the year is not a good time to release such a buggy, messy, grindy, imbalanced and unpolished "content". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veridian Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 (edited) Because people have nothing left to do but complain about meaningles things. Way too much tantrum throwing, you'd think that lives depend on these things. Not talking just about Warframe.

Because DE has learned VERY little over the past 3 years. Just because DE hasn't learned from their mistakes doesn't mean they haven't made any, it just means that they are oblivious. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uan91 Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 You wouldn't flame your friends if they give you a cake for your birthday that you don't like, so you shouldn't flame a company for delivering a not perfect update for a game that you play for free. You don't like It? Leave it. THIS IS HOW FREE TO PLAY WORKS. The only fault DE has don Is raising the bar too high with older updates. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
