TheJabberwocke Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 Hello, long time PC player here and forum lurker. I’m normally a solo/duo player, but the various times I’ve opened up public matchmaking, I’ve often found myself with squad-mates using a weapon or frame that seems way more powerful than I’d expect, or perhaps with an apparently unleveled weapon in a high level mission. I’ve thrown this idea around before, I hope this can get some traction or some discussion going. I always check the load outs of my squad mates, out of curiosity more than anything, and in these instances, a brief forma count on a weapon/frame in the squad screen would help players understand what squad mates are doing/capable of. Is that a newly built ignis wraith being brought into a high level mission (low starting mod capacity)? or is it a 6 forma ignis wraith, going for the 7th (high starting mod capacity)? In either case, I can make a guess as to the strength of the weapon if I know the forma count, same would go for warframes. This information could be easily available, and I just don’t know where to find it, this just seemed like a simple solution. It also seems like a nice way to indicate how much effort has gone into a weapon or frame or even an entire load out when playing with other people; I feel like if I saw someone running a load out with 14+ forma across multiple weapons I’d definitely compliment, or ask for build links. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taiiat Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 i appreciate that your reason for this has good intentions, but what i see tht will come out of this is that people will segregate and judge each other based on the number of Polarities added, as a more==better segregation. it's illogical and dumb, but people will do it anyways. if you are so curious as to what a Player is using, try asking them. they can even Chat Link their Weapon after the Mission is over and Et Cetera. so t hen you can even see what Mods they're using too. i know it isn't as automatic, but i'm.... not sure this feature will have the positive result that you desire.

(XBOX)Rez090 Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 Just no, you don't need to know how many times a weapon or frame has been forma'd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrivaMain Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 It will plague public games with elitism. It's better if this is not implemented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheJabberwocke Posted September 26, 2021 Author Share Posted September 26, 2021 I’d never considered the idea would encourage elitism, but I hate to admit you are all probably right that it would. Thanks for the responses! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
