Blaudari Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 Seriously, what happened? I was just recommended this by youtube recently despite seeing it when the video first came out but I haven't heard anything about it since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but Duviri is also a main quest, like Second Dream. They have no access to their studio, so they can't access the motion capture studio to finish the quest.

Canada went ultra-strict with recommendations. As a result DE was limited this year but the result is a positivity rate per capita that is 15-20 x lower (last I read) than the states where I live and continue to work at the risk of exposure.

Heart of Deimos they could do because nothing is truly human. Even the infested orokin have very limited animations. Now, like with PoE's ghouls, I'm going to keep wishing the new enemy units would be retroactively introduced into the rest of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DemonDaemion Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 Forgot about/didn't notice the 2021 date on the Tennocon countdown. But yeah, they had said they announced it years too early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loza03 Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 A number of things. The first being that the update (like a lot of Tennocon updates in recent years) was announced long before it was actually ready. Basically, from sounds of it, they announced it at the start of the project, rather than after some time in development when it could be ready at a reasonable time afterwards. The second was covid. Simply put, Duviri is one of their A-game updates. In so far as we can tell, it's got big changes for the operator and major ramifications on the game as a whole. Even though it's not all-hands-on-deck at this time (far to early to dedicate full-studio work on it), they do want the big guns available, and they just don't. At the very least, it has massively slowed down development. The third was a direct carry on from there. HoD was in the works anyway, and in an interview, we learn that not massively long before Tennocon one of the higher up devs we see in devstreams and the like (I can't remember which one, I'm afraid) looked at all the projects and said... "Yeah, Duviri and TNW aren't in a state where we can show them off. Deimos is." So they went all hands on deck on Deimos to show it off, and with how late-stage it was, they also pulled off their release date trick. Something which could carry over to future Tennocons.

(PSN)drollive96 Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 Hopefully duviri is just a quest with a new tileset attached to it and they scrap the open world Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(XBOX)Cram Duahcim Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 They let the cat outta the bag far to early and then Covid derailed everything. Dont be surprised if Duvri and New War get pushed back even further if a second wave hits. I'd say 2021 is an optimistic timeframe. We dont know how long they will have to continue to work from home. Unless they find a way to get the work they need to do in Studio done during a time when access is restricted we could have to wait longer then what is currently posted. Plus with Deadlock Protocall and HoDs development being where it was during this time future updates might be considerably smaller due to what developments that can make having to work from home. So I'd also say: Curb your expectations going forward. As much as we laugh/Complain about the "Primed Soon" meme. We might as well use that meme for the year as alot of everyone's plans are a wash. Personally I'm amazed with how well DE has managed things during this time when development for other AAA titles are being stalled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)Madurai-Prime Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 Probably because there's only 24 hours in a day and people have lives and there was a pandemic and things take time to plan and build? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCatequil Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 If you look into the rotating mirrors in the isolation vaults, you can see that open world, alongside that giant worm flying around (might be hard to get a glimpse of), as a little easter egg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mints Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 What do you think Infested Mom is referring to when you complete a vault and she says stuff like "A better understanding of the Void and all its implications would help." Duviri and the Entrati Isolation Vaults are linked on some level. We'll see how in time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrivaMain Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 For one it's not abandoned. If you see the void portal in Iso Vault you can see the duviri worm wandering about. And yes Covid ruined everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She says it when the bounty ends - either by opening the vault or by just leaving the ruins. There's no difference in lines between the 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vlada91 Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Im really hoping that we are getting bigger map this time in that paradox world... Because let bee honest, infested open world is interesting but weary small and get old weary fast. But we need that world to bee more alive and more detailed in a way that is more interesting to play for a long run.... Specially when its all going to bee with mature operator and its going to bee game changing in a good way. And im just hoping for update to come in January or February max,and not in week after next tennocon or something like that... We are already waiting for to long Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
