The stats of the Warframe (run speed, armor, etc) are static, so there's no need to store any of that information at all. But you do need to store all of the general information (like rank and XP), appearance, and upgrade data. Going down the list for Warframes: Spoiler General (10 data points): Unique instance ID of the Warframe (to differentiate it from other copies - forgot this one) Which Warframe it actually is (actually forgot this one, too!) Rank Total XP Total Kills (these would actually be global account stats, not per instance) Total Assists Potato Exilus Lens (edit: forgot this one) Number of Forma If there's a boil Age of the boil Appearance (at least 162 data points): 1 Helmet 1 Skin 1 Animation Set 8 colors 5 Armor attachments 1 Auxiliary (sometimes) 1 Ephemera 8 colors 1 Syandana 8 colors 2 Emblems 2 Sigils, each with Rotation, Width, height, X Offset, Y Offset, Alpha, and Color Whether or not to show Prime parts (forgot this one) This is all multiplied by at least 3 Upgrades (at least 102 data points + 96 characters): Polarity of the 10 mod slots Mods in the 10 mod slots Mods in the 10 mod slots (Conclave loadout) Arcanes in the 2 Arcane slots Subsumed ability Subsumed ability index (which one it replaces) The name of the config (16 characters) The name of the config (Conclave loadout, 16 characters) This is also multiplied by at least 3 And whatever else I missed. That's what, at least 274* data points and 96 bytes of text? And I probably missed some! All of this needs to be stored on DE's servers too. Weapons are likewise pretty bad, melee especially (there are a ton of holster position settings to track). Kuva weapons have even more with an element and damage percentage. Weapons can also be renamed, which is more text. It's quite bit more than the 14 data points needed for a Riven no matter how you try and count them; a Warframe's colors alone ought to take up as much or more space. And by cost, Warframe slots are the same price as Rivens slots but weapon slots are less than 1/3rd the cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unimira Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 I'm at the cap but hesitate to melt any since I have come to regret doing it a couple times in the past. You never know when DE adds a weapon variant that is actually good even if the original sucks. I look at it positively though, no reason to spend any more plat and can skip "bad" sorties without feeling I missed out on rolling for new rivens. Easy to sell unopened Rivens too. Haven't changed loadout for the past 1.5 years anyways, getting good rolls on Rivens is so rare that I consider myself lucky to have managed it even once 😅 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Increasing the limit isn't the solution, yes, but the pain is real, and the reason the game make us collector player feel that pain over and over and over and over and over again every time we reach the limit is unjustifiable.

trst Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 There are already slightly over 300 unique weapons with over a third of them being melee. It seems silly to increase the capacity solely for the sake of those who have the need to have a 100% collection of all Rivens. And Practically speaking there is nobody that is using even half of all the weapons in the game actively enough to justify Rivens for all of them especially when so many melee weapons and older guns are functionally identical. If they did make the cap equal to the number of unique weapons then if there is any long term issue whatsoever with storing Riven data then the issue would only get worse over time since they aren't going to stop making new weapons any time soon. And in regards to storing their data if there is size concerns over them then it doesn't help that slots are a one-time purchase and servers (rented or owned) have ongoing costs.

Venus-Venera Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 it would be better: if you don't need a slot for unlocked riven for weapons you have. and these 150 slots are a bonus. then it would not be an issue. but i haven't been interested in riven for a long time. because i only have ridiculous riven dispo for my weapons.

Voltage Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 Unpopular opinion, but I believe Riven Mods would have been way better at a hard limit tied to Mastery Rank. No slots or cap increases. With the way these mods work, it would have been way healthier to force players to optimize mods and dissolve/trade less good ones than to keep allowing players to keep as much as they can. I just find it impossible to believe that people actually use all of their Rivens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that you think mass bulk storage vs active storage is even in the same category indicates you have little to no experience in IT infrastructure.

Surbusken Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 I just assume they are saving extra riven slots for future rewards. But generally speaking you can't take corporations at their word for various of reasons. Not to be rude or anything but if you open up with "the developers said..." you need a reality check. They are there to get as much money out of you as possible, with as little cost and effort to themselves as possible. That's their loyalty. Which isn't wrong or controversial, a business trying to make money... so what else is new. The story is whatever it needs to be in relation to what they think is the best business - with the only limit being what people will be naive enough to believe. In defense of the developers, no matter what choices they make someone is going to get angry, so you can't "please people" anyway. In the grown-up world this is called professionalism. When a nurse smiles at you and ask how you are doing at the hospital, it doesn't mean they are actually interested or they care about you or even if you live or die... lol. They are doing a job. So I will say all that comes down you needing to convince the developers it's a better business decision. Things not being worked on weren't important enough in terms of money. Like for instance, if they learned someone found a way to dupe plat, they would have a fix out in under 7 minutes. While Banshee is going to go ignored from here on out. It's just business. Meaning, on your end, you have to both add in "how to make a lot more money" and "low production cost" of your suggestions. They might even agree with something but can't earn enough of an in-come from putting in the work. So you really need to structure all suggestion posts with the same structure as scam emails. "Earn $2,000,000 from home FAST!!!!". How are they getting money and how easy will it be. That's all there is to talk about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reveal hidden contents I just think it would make sense to be able to have a riven for every weapon. Now, I have no idea how many that would be... lets just say there are a combined total of 400 weapons for arguments sake in which some of those rives have variant types, primes, vandal, prisma, etc. Ideally you'd try and collect 1 of each "viable" weapon type with actual usability. But if you wanted to collect just Stug and Torrid rivens... well, more power too ya I guess. Being capped at 150 rivens stifles theorycrafting, at least it does for me...

And the biggest profiteer is DE themselves, plat exchanged between players all originated from an RMT to DE, so its in their interest to maintain high demand. Why would it do that? It could be argued that it would increase their trade value, too. More inventory space means more demand. If a whale hits their cap they can't buy any more and they stop being a buyer, so eventually demand will dry up as players reach their limits and can't buy any more. And removing the cap means a lot more plat exiting the economy through slot sales, which is in DE's interest. 3 hours ago, (PSN)haphazardlynamed said: Plenty of Traders who might complain about that. I'm sure they'd prefer the extra inventory space to store their wares, though I can't stress enough how little I care about this particular segment. I see no reason to make concessions in order to protect the profits of a small number of traders over the accessibility and enjoyment of the playerbase as a whole.

Just because a few loud forum goers want something, does not mean the desire is valid at scale. In every single GaaS game I have ever played and watched, the 'collectors' are never, ever satisfied.
