Tenno, I see it is difficult to persuade you. You are smart, I know this, help me take back Quirinus from the oppressive Grineer, for there is no telling what horrors they’ve done to the innocent!

 

Finally a conterattack, destroy this annoyng Grineer and give me my Detron.

I'd love to, big V. I really would. But the Grineer are offering far more that's worth it than you. I mean, 5 Orokin Cells against 125000 cred!? REALLY? I can go to any Survival mission on Saturn and make that in about a half an hour (less with a Nekros). I could also go into the Derelicts and whomp on the Lephantis for em, making those Nerkos parts in the process to trade with my comrades in the future... Now you're trying to give us a Reactor vs 150000 Credits? When you tried to give money away, the Grineer were actually putting up a worthy challenge. Mutagen Masses and Feildron aren't cheep to make, y'know. We saved more money than you were even considering offering in that deal.

 

I don't care what you do to our sleeping allies. This war is hell and I wouldn't wish it on them for even an instant, so I'm more than happy to give them sweet release with a bullet to the skull before I take their suits back and use the technology you gave them to enhance our own, but unless you start offering a payment worthy of my efforts, I'm going with the highest bidder int he Grineer, even if the outcome is just more of the same old crap on a different world.

 

Choice is yours big V. Cough up a price that doesn't insult my intelligence. You guys act like it's cheep to keep killing all these Grineer bastards, even when we're NOT doing it for you...

Well there's no telling what horrors you'll do to our own, so... nope. Also, get back on the right side of the screen.

Corpus will win the section, cause there is a blueprint. On the Grineerside are just some credits.

 

Yeah... people are being switchy-hoppy maggots.

 

Ladies and gentlemen, PLEASE remember to STAY LOYAL TO YOUR SIDE. Hopping and switching just to get the rewards isn't what this event is about, and it just prolongs the conflict far past what it's needed.

And what about the innocent Tenno you are holding captive?

Every faction is a warmongering, unsympathetic machine. Because of how bad the writing is at DE, they had to flat out tell us the Tenno were the good guys. Like thousands of other people, after hearing "You have amnesia, but you should totally trust me" I was wary of the Lotus' intentions. The writing for this game is akin to  a Saturday morning cartoon and that is just sad to see. The Tenno are murderous thugs, they garner no sympathy. But NOW~! We gotta stop the Grinner from spreading...into what? The only 3 factions that consist of humanoids are the only 3 that matter. There are no civilians that we know of, we are not trying to bring balance or peace. Lotus uses us like mercenaries for hire, we end up helping both sides all the time.

 

So this entire lazily done event has presented two options.

 

1. Help the Corpus and fail to uphold the only purpose given to the Tenno by DE, which is to save Tenno

2. Help the Grineer and get our fellow Tenno back. Then use the awakened Tenno to fight back the Grineer.

 

A Tenno is worth 20,000 Grineer or Corpus, maybe more. If every single mission is extermination or whatever the Corpus missions are (I wouldn't know since I am not a traitor), this event is a bust. There is nothing to these missions. I don't know what I was expecting, but it was more than single mission runs. Have large flowing fights, Have you fight along side a Champion like Vor/Kril or a pack of Hyenas/Jackle. Have some interactions with Vor to show the uneasiness between us, that he vehemently hates us for foiling the Sling-Stone operation. Maybe have some Fomorian ship missions to get the Infested involved in a different capacity. There is no reason this event could not have been a combination and expansion of concepts and ideas previously explored. I was hoping for more free-form choice driven levels, having multiple objectives; to interact with the enemy. You know, have it go all out. This event is reward heavily, but light on content. You know, the stuff that matters. It introduces no new concepts for game modes/the way we play, just more needless grind.

 

I will say it again. If you create compelling and fun gameplay, you don't need 1000 weapons or 300 Warframes. The ideas here were nice, the delivery of information was botched and the logic is just stupid. This coupled with the fact it is the same game being played, just with window dressing. This event does not create or give off the feeling of being "epic" (hate that word). It is just a means to show off new content and does nothing to promote creating player-driven choices that resonate in the gameplay. It is still running up and down the same interchangeable hallways killing the same enemies. This event shows off how stupid the A.I. is. Instead of moving as a unit with them, they all just cluster F*** around. I was picturing boarding parties, squads of structured/diverse units, you know make it seem like it wasn't just the A.I. being dragged along by a sting. I was expecting to maybe encounter Vor in the field. If you are working with the Grineer, he pelts you with scathing remarks, but asks your team to take out a generator and gives you some men and a bomb to do so. Then you return to him for a final push. Break up these more structured missions with the samey rushed oriented crap and you got yourself a truly grand event in scope. The allied Corpus/Grineer are not even helpful. It is a novelty at best. They get in the way and the number of enemies present do not warrant the number of Tenno or allied faction present. So you have a "huge battle" happening within the same confined areas all other missions take place in, yet you jam more people in there (a majority of which you cannot shoot); the number of enemies does not require so many allied soldiers like I stated. If you were to spawn with a boarding party or a Champion unit and a party, then proceed to work through the level with a clear objective in mind; that would be way more compelling and something actually different(granted not much different, but still). You would have less clutter and a more directed flow to the mission.This event wreaks of laziness or lack direction/imagination, maybe both.

 

To break this down into being about telling your story for the sake of telling your story, that is not the way to approach this. You are only looking to create means to an end in which you tell the story of the Berserker; which will become stale if it is presented in a similar way the current lore is. To run through a level and hear the same dialogue over and over and over again sucks, it lessens the impact of what is said. If we have to grind for Berserker prints and a story is attached to the levels in the form of "words words words words words" of the same 5 or so lines of dialouge, you have screwed something up.

 

If you are only focused on telling one story, focusing on what is best for your story; you are doing it wrong. You need to tell your story in the best way possible for the good of the product as a whole. If that means compromising your story to let the players make a choice, so be it. If you are going to game the system to try and force a Corpus victory to tell the story of the Beserker, again that is dumb. This sudden interest in lore is just that. Instead of taking the time to think this out and present it a compelling way, you rushed it out the door. You had to change the stipulations at the last second to make the event even make any kind of sense, which it still doesn't.

 

This has become an extension of the grind with window dressing and not the awesome event it was made out to be.

What really really bothers me is they gave us choice and said it was about bringing depth to the game .etc, the usually stuff.

Now it looks like they're going to spend the entire event playing micromanager, it's stopped being even remotely about choice and has become a case of them manipulating the results to give themselves their desired result.

Suddenly those threads suspecting DE of rigging previous events seem much more realistic than they appeared at the time.

It looks like choice is only interesting to DE as long as it's the choice that they want the playerbase to take.
