sitfesz Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 If new players and casuals not being able to get rank 30 in nightwave is a problem, why even bother with the challenges and instead straight up give away the rewards for everyone because you know, otherwise it's unfair with said players.

As it stands, people who have been doing their challenges probably have a solid month of nothing coming in before this season is over, and another few weeks or so before the next one starts. NW veterans plan for this (though they shouldn't have to), but if you're newer to NW it's quite jarring to suddenly have no credit intake for what can be months at a time without warning. It's never cost-efficient to buy potatoes with NW credits, so nothing has really changed. "NW veterans"? The hell does that term even mean? The system is only in its 3rd season, is less than 2 years old.... There ARE no "veterans" for a relatively brand-new, passive extra credit system. But, as someone who HAS been playing since well before NW... ya know what I do when I get all the rewards I want/need from NW? I focus on the 20 other things I've got to do in Warframe. It NEVER bothers me that I have unused credits, or that I don't have "more" to grind. I'm just content that I got the gear/cosmetics I was after, and I relax and enjoy the game. It's really not the big deal y'all are trying to turn it into. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having a year containing only two of these is pretty bad and I don't understand the point in copying what other games do but failing to keep up on the reward aspect. Other games are getting a few rotations out of a year. NW was also meant to be a more consistent replacement to alerts, but there's nothing consistent about NW either. "other games" are charging subscription fees, DLC fees, and cost just to buy the base game. This is a FREE add-on to the FREE game to give you even MORE FREE stuff.... for FREE. NW is extremely consistent in what it set out to do. Every week there are new challenges...every week you get to earn more credits to "buy" all those things alerts used to offer (and MORE!)... ...seriously, where's the fire?

I'm obviously talking about people who have both the means and drive to complete these tasks, and thus progress quickly through the ranks. Basically the people who cap out first are the NW "veterans" and the people who progress very slowly are your NW "newbies" or "casuals".

The argument is very simple. NW seasons are lasting longer than planned because of covid, but the prestige caps were never increased to account for these longer duration seasons. They should be increased to account for these longer duration seasons. I don't really see how anyone can argue otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People want Nightwave Seasons to happen more often. Nightwave was added to the game over a year and a half ago (February 2019), and yet there have only been three series. Call of Duty Modern Warfare has had six seasons and that game has been out less than a year. If DE's going to try their hand at a Battle Pass system, they should put more into it. As I said, I think they could be more consistent with more Nightwave seasons if they'd incorporate all of their content into it. Instead of just having us grind and farm for content, dealing with ridiculous RNG, they could integrate Nightwave with their various content updates and have us go through Nightwave to acquire some of that content. They could then be much more consistent with Nightwave, have content that's funneled through Nightwave, and they wouldn't have to stretch it out with Episodes that take them half a year to complete. Bottom line: Players want more frequent Nightwave seasons/series and the best way to do that imo is to integrate all major content (barring Quest and Syndicate rewards) with Nightwave and get rid of the Episode format.

Mixnek Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 DE is again too slow to get NW updated and has learnt ABSOLUTELY NOTHING from last time. Even casually doing the missions gets you to the current cap at 60, while the season hasn't even ended nor are all challenges completed. How can you be so stupid to feed us these challenges and cap the tiers at maybe 3/4 of the max. points? All while no date was given when this NW will even see it's last chapter. Remove the cap from this glorified "content void"-filler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without it, life, the game itself, loses all grace. And the nw ends up hurting the source of income of the DE ... it represents little but at the end of a year it could yield much more for them. Nw just made the game lazier than ever almost stopping due to this system. When the DE changes his mind and returns to the alert system, with reformulations, he will see an increase in players and will have more time to reformulate or create new things in the game. With the covid effect, all of DE's work was very slow and we are already feeling this effect. If you want to make her game more relevant, you need to change your mindset. The nw system proved not to be good because it left the game in a state of hibernation and soon the players also slept in profound boredom and laziness, that is my point of view. I don't like being in a game where everything is static. I want to see surprises when I log in. If I missed a catalyst alert ... patience! After all, life is like that and it will not be because I lost a catalyst that I will be regretting or sleeping awake until another alert appears ... with nw the excuse was this ... "we lost the potato". With the reformulation I proposed, it would always appear on alternate weekends lasting 48 hours. The game is not just about potatoes .... it's about unpredictability ... that's what attracts people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have a business where customers generally owe you $210, you'd say "those $5 bills are not my biggest source of income, so I'm going to dump them in the trash"? Or would that be a silly thing to do, just like the silly argument you're trying to make here? But I note that you absolutely do seem to rely on the added salt, whether it's necessary or not.

Surbusken Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 I personally don't like much of anything they did outside the combat mechanics. Fishing, mining, any type of alternate mechanics from missions. Like the ones where you have to solve a parkour puzzle in operator etc. Forced cutscenes. I quit nightwave on the first puzzle after walking around the whole place unable to find all the pieces. As with too many things in warframe the timegates, the grind and the annoying mechanics totally wreck any kind of immersion or suspense for me. Right now I am trying to install railjack in our dojo and I might be inclined to stop and enjoy some of it, listen to the voice acting but all I am thinking is I want to smash my keyboard over the 8x timegates just to start the game mode. I actually stopped playing way back when alerts used to have helmets, reactors and nitain extract. Only recently started playing again. Took one look at nighwave, laughed, and just looked at it as a giant nerf to what used to be great rewards, and another way of shoe horning unpopular content, for those who still need nitain extract, lol. Lucky me, thank god, I am done with nitain extract so they can't force any planet-grinding on me through nightwave. Again, a shame they have to go out of their way to make it frustrating because the voice acting and atmosphere of it I could actually have enjoyed.

You are again missing the point here in that what's supposed to replace the alert system (which was continually refreshing) has a hard cap (the rank limit), something even worse when you consider that there is much more gear available now which might want a potato. The solution would have been to have the maximum rank as an automatically updating function of nightwave season length (eg. 2 ranks per week), but that's not been done. Because of this lack of planning, they're constantly going to have to go in and manually change things. When something is as trivially automatable as this (one small script using a counter is enough), there is no reason not to have the maximum nightwave rank automatically increase as the season gets longer and longer. If nothing else, it would at least deflect some blame about nightwave caps and nothing to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because you haven't bought any doesn't mean that many people aren't happily claiming things that do have a cost in plat. In theory you could have hit tier 30 by nolifing for a few days once there were enough total points. Chances are that you can do most of the weekly challenges in a few hours after weekly reset at the maximum, and probably do so. The option to pace yourself always existed, but hey I get it, grabbing that marshmallow is just too attractive an option for some people. But newbs can't do that, they might be unable to finish any of the elite challenges, and others with restricted play times and other stuff to focus on in the game as a priority definitely complained about not being able to finish some of the earlier seasons and requested the seasons be extended. You couldn't ever do all of the alerts on your own schedule to claim every possible reward, and more importantly the vast majority of people probably flat out ignored the vast majority of alerts because the "rewards" were crap that we already had way too much of. Whatever you have been using the creds on, you probably got stuff that's far more useful to you than you did in the majority of the last year's worth of alerts. I would absolutely love to see you guys get the option to have all of the prestige ranks you want, on the condition that each gave far less creds. Because for all the ridiculous claims that there was a lack of "foresight and planning" the obvious response is that careful foresight and planning would mean that the maximum number of obtainable creds should remain the same, so an adjustment will need to be made. Or you know just go ahead and do the challenges despite being capped, because it's something to do, and you'll be helping newbies get the rewards they can’t earn on their own. See something to do that will give you those warm fuzzy feelings 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the entire purpose of a forum to discuss things. No one disagrees with the discussion. My contribution is the following: Some items abounds without any need for them. The important ones are always scarce. It's basic design for farming. I'm aware of it. Catalysts should be more abundant and exilus adapters. The rest are just fodder for credits. Forma, Catalysts and adapters should be the random rewards on the alerts. People will play more often for these. The rests are trivial. People who are in high MRs should have better probabilities getting these. Once they outgrow the game they want more attention in their hardware. Instead of spending a lot of time in Hydron despite the boosters for affinity some extra XP should be given at higher ranks, IMO. Potatoes for frames are more abundant than potatoes for weapons. Those are the important ones since there are lots and lots of weapons in the game. I have about 400 potatoes for frame. I donate them for the clan. I don't have that many frames. However my catalyst count is almost low, I would say very low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What should the maximum number of obtainable credits be, then? The question here is whether that's a hard cap of "you get X credits for your entire life, no more" or "you get Y credits per week". With a hard cap of what nightwave level you can achieve, it's the former. If the intent is the latter for any reason (eg. they design for players to be able to get A potatoes every B weeks in nightwave), then a fixed cap of nightwave levels only works if each nightwave season has a guaranteed end date and the next one is guaranteed to start on that same date. This never happens even in the best situations (see: last year and the eternal intermission). When there's a delay, either the targeted potato income rate suffers (due to no more credits becoming available) or someone needs to go in and explicitly alter the code to change the maximum level. Honestly, I don't care about the available rewards. If they had forma on the list, I'd be much more interested. I'm just annoyed at the ever-growing list of things which need to be manually changed and tweaked to make them fit into place. Everything here is done on a computer. If it can be automated, it should be. All the time spent doing what is essentially manual labour (as opposed to just defining an acceptable rate of eternal nightwave credit income and having the maximum achievable rank automatically tick up as a function of time since the nightwave season start) is time not spent on fixing bugs and polishing the game.
