Warframe Tileset Survey Results

[[DE]Purzzle]

Hiho everybody!

About a week ago, I posted a survey about how much people like or dislike the different environments in Warframe.

Today I want to show you the results!

 

But first up: If you haven't scrolled through the discussion or results yet (nor participated in the survey when it was posted on reddit), then why don't you do so now?

Cheers to everybody that helped out!

 

What did I do?

I asked r/warframe users 5 questions about their opinion on the different environments in the game:

1. How good does it look?
2. How does the gameplay flow feel? (parkour and movement)
3. How detailed is it/How good are the details?
4. How do you rate its setting? (uniqueness)
5. Would you like to see it updated?

What tilesets were covered in the survey?

I decided to limit the survey to regular missions (14 tilesets). I didn't include Open Worlds, Railjack, Archwing or Arenas.

Furthermore I left out the updated Corpus Ship tileset as not everybody has had a chance to experience it yet.

 

Results (346 participants)

• Charts (direct images: 1 2 3 4 5 6)
• Rankings (direct images: 1 2 3)
  For the ranking I appointed number values to the different answers:
  Question 1-4: 4 to 0 points | Question 5: +2 to -2 points
• A bunch of comments I want to share: 1 2 3 4 5 6 + Link to reddit discussion

 

Some of the most obvious results

• People friggin love Corpus Gas City (Jupiter)
• People REALLY dislike the gameplay flow of Infested Ship (Eris)
• Orokin Tower (Void) - despite its age - is still as popular as ever

Those results seem about right to me. I always have the hardest time navigating Ice Planet and Infested Ship tilesets. The routes aren't very clear, and it's way too easy to get caught up on random protrusions.

Yeah Europa(Corpus Ice Planet) hs never been my choice, in fact its my last. Id run it if I must but I dont like it, the waypoints are so bad I had my friend tell me where I needed to go when I started.

Infested I do understand epsecially Eris where the small rooms combined with infested biomass just makes it all annoying.

Good job with the info.

I'm kinda pleased to see Europa aligns with my own belief of it being rather meh or bad.

I'm rather surprised that the Infested Ship ranked so low down. It's by far no favourite of mine but I suppose it makes sense. I wonder if this is down to the fact Infested Ship is Corpus only and uses the old Corpus ships.

Grineer sealabs is another surprise as it's my favourite Grineer tileset yet it ranks somewhere inbetween liked and hated. Though I try not to think about the Underwater segments so I guess I'm looking with rose tinted glasses. Underwater segments are fine but there are certain tiles that require you to use Sharkwing, if it was optional and allowed a standard and shackwing path instead of forcing you into Sharkwing I imagine most players would rate it higher. Same can be said about the Spy vault requiring Sharkwing. (also give us more Tyl Regor!)

As it stands currently, I find myself disliking old Corpus tilesets after the update. My biggest pet peeve is they use the old Corpus Spy vaults. (I enjoy Spy, sue me.)

Updated the data with entries of people from the forums.
Big thanks to everybody helping out!

I don't have a problem with europa but the infested ship i think the problem with navigation is the lighting in the tile is too dark to make out paths out of the the infested mass

[Hayrack]

As somewhat a new player, I fully agree that updated Corpus Gas City is the best and most interesting tileset, followed by Orokin Tower, then Corpus Outpost and Grineer Forest. Corpus Ice Planet looks like ship crash literally destroyed entire tileset, it's lightning and collisions, not a fan. Mixed feelings on other tilesets, except Grineer Galleon - this one I hate so damn much.

[Reifnir]

Europa and Eris are outright terribad. It's like they've been designed with just the aesthetics in mind, paying no heed to how comfortable they are to play. I'm actually surprised Lua is so well received, personally I hate the broken down/debris filled tiles with a passion. Kuva Fortress is also a mess gameplay-wise - too many things to stumble into, fall into or get stuck in, another "looks over functionality" one which I tend to avoid unless absolutely necessary.

Also, Sentient Ship tileset is missing - which deserves some love for both gorgeous Giger-esque visuals and is quite nice navigation-wise.

I decided to leave that one out. It's just very hard to compare that one the the regular environments because of the missions it appears in and how we get there. I'm also not sure if most people played it enough to rate it properly, as Railjack is not the most popular mission type.

I'll definitely include it in future surveys though!

I get nausea from playing Derelict tileset. That's the one I hate with a passion beyond words.

Purely from an aesthetic point of view:

Disclaimer: 1 is terrible, 5 is neither great nor bad, 10 is perfect

• Corpus Gas City - 7.5/10 (good, standard Scifi environment, colors are ok, great detail and lighting, nothing extremely noteworthy)
• Corpus Ships - 7.5/10 (same as before)
• Granum Void - 8/10 (amazing skybox, stunning colors)
• Orb Vallis - 9/10 (perfect colors, Corpus buildings are great, amazing skybox, the works)
• Corpus Outpost - 5/10 (nothing noteworthy, except those Orokin spears/tower thingies visible in the distance on the tileset's skybox)
• Corpus Ice Planet - 1/10 (bad ice design, geometry, colors, broken ship sections, skybox, i dont like anything about this map)
• Grineer Forrest - 6/10 (while not bad per se, i wished they used a more lively shade of green, however opposed it would be to the in-universe explanation of how this part of earth should look, according to lore. Some parts i'll admitt are pretty nice looking though)
• Plains Of Eidolon - 7/10 (Looks great during the night, and mid-day colors are nearly perfect, wished there was a bit more green, although it would work against the general aesthetic of the Grineer, having earthly-based colors. Too much brown for my taste, and the sky not as blue as i'd like)
• Grineer Galleon - 7/10 (amazingly detailed, great lighting, neat details, colors are a minus, but varied lighting colors fixes it)
• Grineer Asteroid - 6/10 (nothing noteworthy)
• Grineer Settlement (Mars) - 4/10 (lack of detail, boring architecture, uninteresting colors, skybox is very lackluster, with the exception of that huge ass spaceship looming over us, which is amazing)
• Grineer Shipyard - 5/10 (great detail, but colors, while in-universe and lore-wise accurate, aren't my cup of tea)
• Grineer Sealab - 3/10 (unappealing colors. The only thing i love about this tileset is the spawn location which is outdoors, with a breathtaking skybox)
• Kuva Fortress - 6/10 (nice skybox, nice colors, neat contrasts, but that's about it)
• Orokin Tower - 3/10 (The architecture is neat, but I dont like the colors. I hate anything gold related, fight me.)
• Orokin Moon - 5/10 (slightly better than the towers, colors are nicely balanced by the cold hues of the moon stones. Still no fan of anything gold XD )
• Orokin Derelict - 7/10 (Incredible atmosphere, nice blue hues, less gold to be found, and the abandoned/destroyed look is much appreciated)
• Insfested Corpus Ship - 7/10 (those claustrophobic corridors are simply breathtaking and atmospheric, the use of contrasting reds and blues are amazing, the abandoned and empty look of some rooms are adding a sense of loneliness, and the extraction locations offer an amazing skybox to look at. Some other sections of the map are just ok)

Europa is so bad it needs to be aesthetically nerfed. A pore, pouring poor!?
