[DE]Rebecca Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 (edited) Thank you for tuning in to Livestream #20. Youtube Link: Livestream #20 Summary: We kick off the first Dev Q & A of 2014 with the traditional introductions and then Rebecca get’s right into the questions: Is Warframe where it needs to be? http://youtu.be/r9bQiZv99LA?t=3m17s Rebecca- Trading is in the game, Damage 2.0 is live and still being worked on, we’ve revamped bosses with major updates and more coming (Vay Hek), melee 2.0 is the next huge overhaul, we’ve added guns n’frames n’ tile sets. Yet we are at a cusp of a new issue: What does it all mean? What do we do for new players who can’t even scratch the surface and put down the controller/mouse? What do we do for old players who don’t know why they’re doing it? It’s clear that the feedback coming from forums, professional reviewers, and other places are all saying the same thing: New players: We don't know what we're doing or older players: Why we're doing it. We have fun doing it and that keeps us around – but as fun evaporates, what’s left? Michaelwii asks “It's been over a year since closed beta testers came to Warframe. The growth and popularity of Warframe are great things to be proud of. Do you each think that Warframe is where it needs to be after over a year? (both in the parts you each play AND Warframe as a whole)” Scott- I’m proud, I think we still have work to do. Obviously new User is still high on the list. Steve- People are hungry for Lore. We lose a lot of players that can’t set their own goals or off the bat don’t understand what the game is about. The game has grown massively and the complexity has created problems for new users. But Warframe is in a great spot. 2014 is like Warframe 2.0 for me. Geoff- We do need to make those aspects better (beginning experience/end-game users). Lore: Clear Priories http://youtu.be/r9bQiZv99LA?t=10m25s Scott- Vor’s Prize has been something we’ve left hanging for awhile. It’s a mater of execution. Getting that done will hopefully fix being able to see the cool things about the game. Geoff- Letting players know the depth of game play that they have. Sheldon- Looking at how to put items into the Void properly. Codex http://youtu.be/r9bQiZv99LA?t=12m1s Steve- It’s like an in-game manual that explains systems, etc. The idea is that if you want to replay tutorials, mastery challenges, or learn what polarity symbols means is going in there. PS4 http://youtu.be/r9bQiZv99LA?t=14m26s Rebecca- Most PS4 members feel as though we are getting the short hand of the stick in terms of older exclusive items because of the great time disparity between the PC members and PS4 members, do you have plans to fairly distribute like-items (something similar, but not exact) in Warframe to help ease tension between the two different platforms? (Asked by PS4i_illusion) Sheldon- We’re heard at work bridging that gap. We have a build going to cert in the next couple days. They’ll get everything up to 11.5.8. Steve- We have frame rate improvements, stability improvements, massive network optimizations, AI optimization, controller bindings, and so much more. I’m so excited for them to get that build. Sheldon- Right around the corner is going to be Migration. The last few bugs are being ironed out. I’m referring to being able to do that before the builds are in-sync. HUD http://youtu.be/r9bQiZv99LA?t=21m34s Character Liveliness: New Transmissions http://youtu.be/r9bQiZv99LA?t=23m20s Geoff- All the characters are getting that treatment. Steve- A lot of it is Update 12, their working very quickly. RNG/Void Drop table http://youtu.be/r9bQiZv99LA?t=26m25s Rebecca- Bazools asks “The Devs talked about RNG and the Voids drop table being a bit wonky lately... so are there plans for a replacement? Also any plans for a better reward system in defense and survival?” Sheldon- We are definitely working on the amount of duplication in the Void. We want to make sure as we put new things in the void pool it doesn’t dilute. I put some newer Prime items in the Derelicts to make a short-term solution. Scott- Potential changes for Defense rewards. There is an obvious disparity. Beam Damage Display http://youtu.be/r9bQiZv99LA?t=28m39s Warframe Buff http://youtu.be/r9bQiZv99LA?t=29m15s Rebecca- Kaidinah asks “Can Banshee please get looked at?” In terms of proprieties, do you have anything to share? Scott- In terms of priority, Banshee is on the list. There is a group that hasn’t been looked at. 2013 Lessons for 2014 http://youtu.be/r9bQiZv99LA?t=29m58s Rebecca- Moondancer asks “What are some lessons you have learned from Warframe that you will take into your next project? (2014)” Sheldon- Everything has a UI element. Geoff- Making this year a much richer experience for players to sink their teeth into. Scott- The lengths at which people to go to get what they want. People are willing to grind a certain aspect of the game to get that certain item. In my eyes those were added for players that started the game and by the time they got to that point, they would have an abundance of them. We need to take into account long terms players that focus all their time grinding for one thing. I appreciate and I think it’s awesome. Steve- Event scoring is really hard. Adding a bit more Lore will be really nice for players. Founders Swag http://youtu.be/r9bQiZv99LA?t=36m15s Founders gift shipping is in progress. Melee 2.0 http://youtu.be/r9bQiZv99LA?t=37m22s Rebecca- HandsOfanArtist asks “Melee 2.0.” Geoff- It’s a lot of work. On the content side, we’ve gone through all weapon the stances and created movement sets based on carrying those weapons, and the parrying that goes along with that. We’ve added new directional attack which is a forward thrust meant to break enemies defenses. Right now we’re focusing on giving much better feedback through AI that your melee is effective. Custom hit effects for each faction, adding a parrying system so you can also block and parry attacks. We’re also creating a new AI type who has a deep melee system for them. These guys will have patterns that you can read. Quick melee will still be an option. Melee Concept Weapon Submission http://youtu.be/r9bQiZv99LA?t=40m40s Rebecca- Dev’s are looking over submissions. RNG Generated Stats http://youtu.be/r9bQiZv99LA?t=41m56s Rebecca- SabreUr asks “Mod 1.0 had one distinctive advantage over mod cards - mods' stats were randomly generated, which provided players with possibility of collecting more powerful mods, and was small substitute of end-game. With Mod 2.0, each mod is pretty much the same, and if you get one, for example, Serration, you are pretty much set. Is there a possibility (or plans) of introducing some kind of loot with RNG generated stats? There were few ideas appearing on forums varying from total remake of mod system, adding secondary layer of gun and Warframes modifications and giving random stats to fusion cores (and allowing them to be installed).” Steve- I’m proud of a lot of the Mod systems. We do have a list of ideas for Mods to bring a little bit of that Loot reward back. But it has to be very cautiously done to not disrupt people’s great builds they have worked hard on. RNG http://youtu.be/r9bQiZv99LA?t=44m16s Rebecca- Roflchoptreh asks “What are you guys planning to do with the good, the bad, and the ugly that is RNG?” Steve- We still haven’t added the Mission rewards which are absolutely coming. We are extremely proactive about fixing these problems. AI Variety/New Enemy Kubrow http://youtu.be/r9bQiZv99LA?t=46m38s Geoff- The Forest set that we teased is coming back with a new creature and enemy type that you fight in there. PS4 Talk http://youtu.be/r9bQiZv99LA?t=48m47s Rebecca- (PS4)edqinp426 asks “When are we going to start seeing more developer talk concerning the PS4? A lot of people are feeling left out and with good reason. Geoff- We don’t want that. Scott- I don’t separate the two in my mind. Steve- We’ve been tasking out the team to adhere to PS4 concerns so they can have their own fixes. Clothe Animation http://youtu.be/r9bQiZv99LA?t=50m38s Rebecca- VicAnimus asks “Are the clothe physics still being worked on or have they been set aside?” Geoff- Very soon, we’re working on it. You’ll see improvements on Syandanas too. Next Boss Overhaul: Vay Hek Art http://youtu.be/r9bQiZv99LA?t=51m23s Vay Hek Drone Art http://youtu.be/r9bQiZv99LA?t=51m39s Polarity of Slots http://youtu.be/r9bQiZv99LA?t=52m5s Rebecca- Brahmastra asks “Will we be able to change the spot of the polarities?” Steve- We’re in test for moving slot polarities around, it’s definitely an Update 12 thing. Grineer Shipyard Art http://youtu.be/r9bQiZv99LA?t=52m58s http://youtu.be/r9bQiZv99LA?t=54m21s http://youtu.be/r9bQiZv99LA?t=54m34s http://youtu.be/r9bQiZv99LA?t=54m41s http://youtu.be/r9bQiZv99LA?t=55m21s http://youtu.be/r9bQiZv99LA?t=55m27s http://youtu.be/r9bQiZv99LA?t=56m13s Bird of Prey Art http://youtu.be/r9bQiZv99LA?t=54m53s Infested Ship http://youtu.be/r9bQiZv99LA?t=55m48s Current Stat Helmets http://youtu.be/r9bQiZv99LA?t=57m6s Sheldon- I know we’ve talked about it many times before, we’ll address it. Ability timer on new HUD http://youtu.be/r9bQiZv99LA?t=57m50s Steve- Yes. Hobbled Key Fix http://youtu.be/r9bQiZv99LA?t=58m21s Steve- It’s coming. Harvester http://youtu.be/r9bQiZv99LA?t=58m31s Steve- The problem is the secrecy that we think is interesting has a double edged sword, people want that stuff and then they get irate. Scott- Harvester will hunt you if you support Grineer. Steve- It leads to a very challenging situation, which still has mystery to it. Steve- The Gradivus Dilemma choices do not put you in a sink hole. Back to your desk http://youtu.be/r9bQiZv99LA?t=1h3m Geoff- Dioramas for Steve (codex stuff), Melee 2.0, and Kubrow. Sheldon- Recipes for new stuff next week. Scott- Balance changes for new stuff next week and trying to differentiate it so it feels new, Vor’s Prize, the potential crazy new movement sets, game play difference between the art sets, and the new Warframe. Steve- Trading part of Codex, Vor’s Prize, and new enemy types. Dojo http://youtu.be/r9bQiZv99LA?t=1h7m20s Scott- The dojo will continue to evolve and so that the players should invest in it. Account Resets? http://youtu.be/r9bQiZv99LA?t=1h8m39s Steve- We are not planning to offer account resets right now. Thank you for joining us!

I'm pretty excited about all the new weapons alluded on the livestream. guess I'll have to free up some inventory slots and buy a couple extra to accommodate them. I trust Scott will differentiate them from the current weapons. but for now, I gotta rank up this drakgoon and get that out of the way edit: also, Pokemon is a pretty damn successful franchise, gamefreak's still going strong. bad comparison? nah, bad you (Jake and Amir reference, anyone?)

Llyssa Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Oooo. Summary! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Llyssa Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 I would like to note that a lot of stuff is finished the day of release, or hotfixed shortly there after, and "will this work?" is often a big question. Like, Oberon, they were having issues with it, so they weren't sure when it would be available. When they finally got the kinks worked out, they announced it and released it. It's safe to suppose they probably have multiple frames in que being worked on, and that it's just a matter of them figuring out which fit best with new content, what works best with the current system, and what's progressing the fastest. So everyone complaining about "WHY DON'T THEY TELL US?", well, they frankly don't know. They have guesses that they can tease with, but if frame X turns out to be unviable for some reason, or badly delayed, it's a bad thing to have promised it as the next frame out.

Truthfully i am not guessing i am just DISAPPOINTED on how DE don't release the information what comes next in detail, TOO MUCH SECRETIVE IS REALLY UNNESSARY IN THIS GAME....yeah i know this is BETA...but its high time that we get the gist of knowing to whats to come in the future purposes....well whatever if you think i am idiot then go ahead i dont care....all i want is for DE just tell us already....it feels like a POKEMON and YUGIOH category as of right now..... Pokemon : "WHATS THE NEW WARFRAME AND PRIME WILL BE NEXT!?" YU-GI-OH! : "I'll activate a trap card, Your WARFRAME, and Weapons and Mods are Nerf!!!!!" Bottom line is its Annoying.....

Tarudizer Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 (edited) Disappointed there was no mention about looking into the mod system. There's been some great threads about it lately and hoped you would give it some attention in this livestream That said, there was still several exciting things being talked about Edited January 10, 2014 by Tarudizer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Splatter_Puppet Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Thanks guys. It's always nice to be informed. I'm looking forward to "Warframe 2: Die Harder" or "Warframe 2: The Two Towers" or whatever you guys will call it.* *As a side note, I'm aware that there is no actual "Warframe 2" before people point that out. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingTaro Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Ah, I wish we could have seen some new melee 2.0 action. Even now melee is my favourite aspect of the game, so I'm really looking forward to it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(PSN)coolpattak Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 I was there! At the live stream and it was awesome but you guys have news that had us on the edge of our seats. You guys are tackling the most important issues like networking controller layout those are what counts in my book when it comes to ps4. Can't wait for the update.

Tyroki Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 One thing to note though. The first 8+ minutes were awkward as all hell. They were NOT happy with that question of whether Warframe is where it needs to be or not. Rebecca starting with the mallet to the face. Well played Rebecca. Well played. Loved watching them squirm.

Leorion Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 (edited) I would like to post my feedback about the RNG mods : No. Simple. Terrible idea and the current system is much better. EDIT : Also great work with the questions Rebecca. It's great to see a community manager on the player's side.
