Andy. Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 I can see a reason for them when they are infront of a rescue room. So you have atleast 2 players and there is literally no chance of failing. But I cant see a reason for them somewhere in between or if you are alone in the Mission. So would agree on removing the ones which have no use. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(XBOX)Dee Dubbalyoo Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 As a fairly new player, I totally agree with this. There's always so much happening on screen that I've missed the prompt on a fair few occasions and I always feel a bit guilty when I finally catch up and realise that someone has probably been waiting for me for a while. I don't really see that they achieve anything other than making the new guy feel bad and testing the patience of the more experienced players 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrayArchon Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 They're for precisely that reason, to slow you down if you're getting too far ahead of new/slower players. It's not fun to wander through a level with tons of corpses and drops and never see a living enemy. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(PSN)d1771Hd Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 If a newer player is getting left behind from the start, theyre still going to get left behind again once that next door opens. Like someone said above, I understand why it's necessary before rescuing a target and other similar situations, but getting 2 or 3 throughout a mission suckss when this whole game is supposed to be about how quickly you can move and kill through a mission. A better fix would be to have at least some kind of system that prioritizes placing players with other players closer to their respective MR. It doesn't have to be exclusive but I feel bad getting paired for an exterminate sortie with a low MR player because what's the point of slowing myself down when the issue is lack of content being catered to different skill levels. Friendship doors don't fix that. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IzzyTH-I51 Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 I've been enjoying the part where only one player joins, and their immediately afk. Good luck with that one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(PSN)Quantaminum Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 I wish DE would make an official statement on this. Recently, they fixed a glitch in which you could open those doors using your operator and warframe. If you try to do it now, you experience some degree of loss of functionality. So, all you can do now is spam the interact button or wait until the afk timer kicks in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not fun to wander through a level with tons of corpses and drops and never see a living enemy. Those doors literally don't stop that from happening. This would be less of a problem if MR 28 players didn't have the same chance to pair with an MR 5 as anyone else. Between content not being locked for players who have no business attemping that mission, and matchmaking doing nothing to sort players by MR, DE really needs to make some kind of change because friendship doors just frustrate both sides because experienced players constantly have to wait at them, and new players feel guilty wasting other players time by not playing fast enough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a player goes afk and a friendship door needs 2 people it will open if you activate it because the other person is AFK. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)Ozymandias-13- Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 Their job is literally to make you wait for the other person. Not just at the objective, but also in between. You want to wipe the room with the press of a button? Sure. But your teammates deserve the option to at least occasionally be in affinity range when that happens.

Ham_Grenabe Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 They're populated when the level is generated, and it's easier to have one version of that door instead of two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not fun to wander through a level with tons of corpses and drops and never see a living enemy. Yet another prime example of why new/starchart players shouldn't be in the same matchmaking pool. By the time a player is geared, knowledgeable and ready to que up with everyone else, they should have been taught all they need to know. Thus making friendship doors pointless. I don't think it's remotely fair to ask veteran players to intentionally equip weak loadouts or alter their 7 year playstyle to humour some new guys.

These answers should be all that's needed. OP, you are forgetting that new players don't always know where to go next. Even the markers get borked on a regular basis. If they're following reasonably close behind, we are also showing them which way to go. Having us pause along the way to let them catch up isn't a bad thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaiga Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 Reducing the odds of failure in spy/rescue missions by having people present is one thing, but it generally it slows the game down and is an annoyance. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(XBOX)Red Dough Boy Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 So one player can run through an entire mission and get to extraction and either avoid all targets or kill everything? Thanks but no thanks. Next it'll be "Can we eliminate hacking so we don't have to wait for a few seconds while an alarm is lifted?" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
