How is DE gonna handle the bloat of all the Archon Shards?


Recommended Posts

Bloat?! What Bloat?!

Ok, I admit I don't do Kahl stuff because it is beyond annoying, but I still need a few dozen shards to be happy and now I also want a few dozen Emerald shards on top of that.

I need Netracells to give 5 Shards a week and maybe I'll have enough in 2026.

No but there should be a way to do something. 

Especially now that 3 new colors exist but you need to combine 2 and the only way to get a tau of the new colors is to combine 2 tau yet despite that huge investment ask, the new shards arent necessarily "better", just side grades/new options. Not direct upgrades.

 

Idk what the tau chance is for netracells. I know theres no pity system and ive gotten 1 since release though.

It will come, but it has a 99.999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999969999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999% failure rate

That looks like good odds considering DE's normal RNG I seem to get. cCkds.gif

Its going to be YEARS before there is any kind of archon shard bloat, and even then, is it really an issue if 0.1% of the player base has too many shards to use?

Thats kind of like asking "whats DE going to do with the endo bloat for all those people who have 500k endo?"

Nowhere near bloated but I refuse to do Khal because it is beyond unbearable. 

I have 7 frames with shards 5 of those have 5 shards and none have full tau. I'll never get to a point of having too many until we get more ways to earn them.

fusing regular shards to make a Tau? I doubt it, if it did happen, you can bet it would be grindy as hell and probably cost a ton of other resources (hope you like Bile farming)

we still need a "de-coalesce" function to separate fused shards (it should never have been permanent, nothing else with Helminth is.).

like others have said though, you're kinda privileged if you're holding onto that many shards, perhaps you could consider investing them into some other frames? personally I'm not bothering with Coalescence until the next update, to see if any of the new shards get their stats tweaked.

What bloat?
And I'm am asking sincerely.

 

Sure some people get lucky with Netracell missions and get multiple shards per week, other people get one shard from that for 5 missions and quite a lot get 0 shards from running Netracell missions.
Sure you have a 35% chance to roll a shard per each run of netracell, but I have friends who went 0 for 5 last night.
I feel lucky that I've gotten one shard per week from netracells so far compared to some people that statistically have gotten 0 shards so far from the new system since it does not have a pity mechanic in it.

 

And even if there is a "bloat" DE will handle it like every other resource in the game:
Completely ignore it.

Pretty sure you can't un-sacrifice a Warframe from the wall.

Correct you cannot, that's why DE puts us through the hoops to make sure we confirm it is the correct frame we're putting into the Helminth.

Bloat is a user issue of possibly maining a frame, I play a lot of frames and would like more shards on more of them.

I mean yeah. I don’t just throw shards onto frames I don’t play on the regular. What’s the point in putting shards on a frame and put them back in the closest. Just imagine all the but hurt if DE decides to let us combine shards into tou shards lol.

And what?
Do you want a gold star or something?

Your entire point is a big complaint over nothing.

What next, are you going to complain you have too many nano spores next?
Or that you have too many mutagen samples and nothing to spend them on?

I have 3 frames in my rotation

So basically you play essentially the bare minimum and go "Yep, I have too much.....it must be the same for everyone else!  I want DE to do something about this!!!!!"

And again what do you expect DE to do?
Hand you a gold star and pat your head?

For one player to claim that they have a "bloat" and that DE must handle it now because they have too much just passes on funny and lands squarely in sad.
