Aldain Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Maybe they could give time extension for thing other than how much you can press 4 on AoE Warframes as well? I mean the reward cycle is only half of the issue, the other half is that it basically is "Play an AoE Nukeframe or GTFO". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)sweatshawp Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 It shouldn't be a time attack vs x amount of enemies spawn in x zone for x amount of time with different modifiers and you have to survive until the time is up in that zone to which you can leave or keep going forever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)CrazyBeaTzu Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 The real issue is people loving cosmetics this much. It adds nothing to your performance, mechanics, or stats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be an interesting thing to have each wave have a different objective (or at least every few waves). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lukinu_u Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Same issue as the rest of the game, lack of balance between player's power (which vary depending on many factor) and difficulty, so difficulty is replaced by the artificial difficulty RNG is. Instead of difficult content, you have to spend time and play until you drop what you want, regardless of you efforts, skills or loadout, since most of game modes are time gated instead of depending on how you perform. When there is a low drop chance in this kind of time based game modes, you don't need to be efficient of fast, but simply to survive during the time need, so instead of searching for specific strategy to improve your performances, you simply search the loadout that need the less efforts and it lead to some afk type strategy like Volt and Saryn ult spam on ESO. Overall, low drop chances on these game modes lead to toxicity and unfun play styles to save time, because farming for these low drop chances items you want isn't fun, it's mostly a waste of time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see the problem... 1) I farm for what i want, and cosmetic is not less important than other thing 2) The post is about the eso mechanic and the difficult to drop particular things 3) Since i have almost everything in the game i don't need to search for "performance, mechanics or stat" boost. I just want to look awesome. Is useless to be powerful and ugly. I prefer be powerful and super-sexy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lazarow Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Why not they just add all RNG based ephemera(if not then most) for a large sum of plat like 500 so people can just buy them instead of farming them. Pay2Win you may say, well yes but also no, noone forces you to pay but you can always play2win its just an option people who dont have time to farm it or just cant be bothered, Another way is an offering system, farm points and then exchange it at simaris or whoever for said points, sure it may take a lot of points and by that time you may have gotten the ephemera as a drop anyways. Maybe make a new way harder eso that has this points system and has only relics as wave rewards so you cant get the ephemera as a drop while farming points for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taiiat Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 i must first point out that all of your Reward Pool changes would essentially mean you lose 90% of your opportunities to even roll Pool C. by making it so to get that Pool even once you must complete either Wave 10 or Wave 14. and second, don't touch the AABC of one of my most important grinding Missions in the game. those Radiants are the entire point of playing the Gamemode long term. nor do i want Cosmetics as a higher Chance in those Pools, it already has Chances to give me literally nothing (the Screenshot mode/Captura things, the Peculiar Mods). though, if the Peculiar Mods were taken out entirely and then that Blueprint was merged into those Chances for a 5% Chance, i wouldn't be losing anything then so you could do that if you wanted i guess. that being said, these Cosmetics are rare for a reason, i'm even highly surprised any of them have been made so easy to get after initial deployment, as their existence is to be a very difficult to acquire long term goal item to get Players to play more.

(PSN)robotwars7 Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 DE should have kept to what they said they wanted Ephemeras to be: a sign of prestige through having done something incredibly challenging (or at least as close as you can get. maybe have future Ephemeras as rewards for players who go on long endless runs for like an hour or more, or award one for doing an hour in the Index Endurance along with the John Prodman poster. RNG isn't a challenge, it's just pure luck, you either have it or you don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-TSA-Solano Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 (edited) This should be fixed someday for sure. Blazing Step is 1% just because DE forgot ESO exists. They`ve done a lot of work ruining the concept of "sign of prestige" for now, especially after moving the most popular ones to 20% probability. Obviously RNG is not taken seriously as a certain kind of player`s effort. We still might see the time when the rarest stuff becomes easier to get while Hema costs will remain the same until the end of warframe.😀 Edited February 25, 2020 by Deminged Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you wanna burn yourself out on a useless cosmetic, that's on you, but don't ask DE to sh*t on its value just so you can feel good about having a common shiny trinket.

MystMan Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 It took me and my clanmates about 6-8 months of doing single daily ESO runs after each sortie to finally get it. Keyword here: single. This is to prevent burnout. So between 180-240 runs total, each only 20min for that Rotation C reward. Then try again the next day. Farm with moderation and you'll get it without digging yourself into a gaming depression. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generally when people overblow their stats, it's because they are not too confident about their actual stats. Why not open by "I did around 300 runs" ?

(XBOX)OneChicago51 Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 I'm always hoping something changes and it's a little easier. Round 6 is the most I've made it to even using many recommended builds with no luck. I just want the weapons but at 2% chance a piece it's ridiculous and i have no chance. And i won't buy them for thousands of platinum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandomere Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Don't hate me. I got the ephemera three times within a 2 week span. Just before I capped the focus system. RNGod works in mysterious ways. Now hoping DE makes them tradeable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vegetosayajin Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 (edited) To be frank I got the ephemera a couple of times and in my first weeks of playing eso, not worth it except for completion purposes. The stalker one and some of the lich ones are far better. But I agree, eso should not have that dead space between zones, no matter the reward.

It adds nothing to your performance, mechanics, or stats. That sounds like you're blaming OP for wanting something and pushing hard enough and long enough to make them nearly go insane to get it, instead of DE for dangling a carrot on a stick with little intention of actually giving it away? I'd argue DE shouldn't be putting cosmetic/prestigeous rewards behind repetitive grind and instead put it behind interesting/fun challenges or endurance/duration challenges. Survive 12-16 zones in ESO for example, or complete a Tier 3 sortie assassination without mods on your warframe as another example (no easy bosses like serg and no invis frames). DE knows what they're doing though, and some have accepted it as "that's just how it works" instead of asking for DE to put them behind fun things. DE intentionally put those behind repetitive grinds with no other intention but killing time. Took me 192 kills before I got the electric step from the Exploiter Orb when it first came out, never got the chilled one. I went after blazing, but was already burnt out by over 16 months of trying to get khora's BP (1-5 runs per day every day for over a year). Due to that, I have no desire to play SO?ESO, and because the rewards aren't worth it. If they rewarded endurance (and it scaled correctly to actually allow endurance) maybe they could give stuff like radiant vaulted relics or other stuff. But DE isn't known for making quality missions that you want to play over n over. The two gems they've made that sustain gameplay after you've obtained all they offer is Disruption and Eidolons and that's mainly due to trading. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
