(XBOX)Ancient Mutt Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 (edited) I think the Nora Nightwave aspect is due a replacement. Instead, I'd like to see a news service similar to a drivetime segment on FM car stereos. I make this suggestion based on a post by robotwars7... but something said in jest could actually be a good idea. Quote Quote "and now over to Derf Anyo for the weather forecast! "well, space is still freezing and dark as always,. but we'll be seeing some torrential Acid rain across the western region of Ceres Alpha, and if you're on Pluto, pack your snow helmet because there's a category 4 blizzard moving in on the Acheron front. Infested levels currently remain at a low level but as always, travelling to Dark Sectors is ill-advised. oh, just getting reports of another outbreak! that's the infested for you! over to Cephalon Sark now for the Sports news.." It might be a good excuse for a fresh voice actor, scripts and a.i. programming too. A news report according to fomorian status or ghouls in PoE, weather report according to magnetic anomalies on Mars or wherever that actually affect our fights, travel advice for railjack destinations... I wouldn't mind travelling from planet to planet in my orbiters for RNG to determine if I have to fight off a spectre in my orbiter en-route... maybe the Corpus implement toll routes that create 'traffic jams' ... lots of scope for new possibilities. I wouldn't mind the traditional news anchor, travel reporter and weather presenter banter, either. Some new jokes would be nice. 😉 Edited June 20, 2020 by (XB1)Primus Patronum Can't seem to edit the 'quote' thing properly. Nevermind, I'm sure you get the gist.

Firetempest Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 Why retirement/replacement when you can just add channels for new personalities? Like more syndicate use. Could be a whole resistance series with a Steel Meridian DJ being new to the idea. And Nora would be back for a mystery series later. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might want to ask DE for an interview. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voltage Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 (edited) The problem with Nightwave is how much maintenance it has. Nora has become stale because there are massive gaps in when new things are added due to this maintenance. The way to improve the system is start cutting it down to become an automated and systematic system (like alerts) and honestly just remove Nora's unique dialogue for more generic ones. The overdeveloped story is why players wait months for a 2 minute cutscene and a 10 minute minigame. Adding extra voice acting and such is a massive undertaking that DE should not go for.

I don't find Nora stale. Though I do wish we could turn off the cephilite announcements. Also, voice acting is not expensive when compared to the other costs of developing games. Actors are freelancers while environmental artists, programmers, human resources, network engineers, etc, tend to be salaried employees. As most are part of a voice actor's union, they're typically contracted for a day where they record a ton of different dialogue that's used for months to come. If there are untimely delays in Nightwave, that's likely due to other issues along the development pipeline or larger problems with project management. Obviously, I'm not part of [DE] but if I were to guess why we had that two month gap, I'd suggest the answer is 'Deadlock Protocol.' When you have a large update coming out soon, it's normal to focus your time and energy on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
