MadnessBomber Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 We're getting an Infested-themed open world... In the middle of a pandemic? I've brought this up a couple times to fellow players and they totally didn't realize it. ... Can't tell if that's perfect timing or bad timing.

Rawbeard Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 it's neither. just the third open world themed after the third faction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sevek7 Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 I think this is what happened: DE made PoE, it was a huge success: kept the playerbase around, even gained some new players, excellent! Next year, DE made Fortuna/Orb Vallis: it kept the playerbase around, even gained some new players, excellent! Last year, DE made railjack: Super awkward spaceship combat (opposite of regular warframe). 99% of players farmed it (excellent!) and then never touched it again. Didn't gain much new players. Oops! This year, DE makes next open world. Expect huge grind for mostly useless upgrades and weird time-gates to artificially extend content, plus the railjack style "mechs" to upgrade for even more totally unnecessary content extension, excellent x2! I don't blame them, they found something that works, and they're sticking with it. Infested was the next logical step, and it's obvious that they were working on this long before the pandemic, so I don't think we should seriously consider that having anything to do with it. To be clear: I don't blame DE, they are doing what they know keeps the playerbase around. It's hard making a live-service game profitable. Long ago they abandoned PvP (the content that keeps contenting all on it's own) so they have to make do constantly updating and refreshing PvE. This is hard, even the most complex AI is always eventually predictable. I don't fault them for repeating what they've already observed to be a working system.

0_The_F00l Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Probably coincidence , worlds like those arent build in days or weeks it does require some prep work that may take months, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yamazuki Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Reminds me of that time when there was that complaint over the Viral NW challenge "Sharing is Caring", even though it existed before the whole situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-SicMundusCreatusEst- Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 They are working and n It by 2 years now, I'm talking about the pandemic. The infested open world Is Just something happened and Is spreading from china. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzureTerra Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 We'd have had it without a pandemic, third Open world was always going to be Infested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xcrimsonlegendx Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Its neither. The infested are a faction in this game, they've been a faction. It has nothing to do with real world events. Reminds me of when the "sharing is caring" nightwave challenge rolled though after the pandemic blew up and people freaked out as if it was some big deal even though that was an old challenge that just cycled back though.

MadnessBomber Posted August 5, 2020 Author Share Posted August 5, 2020 I should have mentioned this was supposed to be a, admittedly crappy, joke. I know full well it was just a coincidence that this ended up happening. I just found it funny how much of a crazy coincidence this was to begin with.

(PSN)robotwars7 Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 well, just remember this advice when on Deimos: - wash your hands after every combat encounter. - keep at least a few metres when possible from enemies, your guns and powers can help with this! - only go out when you absolutely need resources. - bring an Ignis Wraith. fire cleanses! together, we can make Deimos a clean and safe place, or at least as safe as an infested planetoid can be.

Loza03 Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Resident Evil 3 Remake also happened at the start of this, which depicts society breaking down a result of Zombie outbreak. Plus Gennedy Tartofsky's show 'Primal' aired out of order so they could show off their zombie episode on april 1st because... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeccanTraps Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Infested always struck me as more spore slime mould and algal forms than viral, structures that I've always found rather beautiful in macro shots. So yeah, different if the soundtrack was a million people coughing their lungs to bloody rags as they fill with fluid and the slowing beap of heart monitors trudging to wards flatline.

It's just another world themed after an exisiting faction in-game. It has nothing to do with real life pandemics. It's people like you that are the reason we can't have nice things - y'all always drag real life into a frickin game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woah woah, hey now. I never said I was against it, and in fact I'm very happy about the new open world we're getting. I just found it funny. That's it. I'm not one of those people who try to find reasons daily to be pissed off about something and demand change when it's not needed or wanted. I get enough of that from news thank you.

Tweaks can make them both very popular and active again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
