Riot_Wolf Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 This may be a stupid question with an obvious answer, but I was wondering when or if Warframe will be fully released. I know Warframe is currently in beta and I was just wondering will it be ever fully released, or will it always be in beta like Minecraft? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LordChronos Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 It's free to play so it will just improve on and on. It's already released, beta or not. Free to play is just a different style of development. In many ways it's better than your usual games where they release it Then never touch or support again. The deva are very active here and that's always good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Llyssa Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 When they stop updating it, it will be "released". Here's hoping it doesn't happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazools Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 My bet is 2 years... i believe this is the time the devs will need to round all the sharp corners (fix major old bugs, IA, endgame, droptables, weapon and frames balancing, lore, etc), at least this is my wish.

Llyssa Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 now thats just silly. No, it's honest. If a program is still releasing updates and overhauls, it is not a final product. You do not update final products. After all, if you're updating it, clearly, it was not "final". When you "release", you let it go. If you ever bought a game cartridge, congrats, you got the final release. If you're basing this concept on anything else, you are silly. I suppose you could always lie and call a beta "release", but that doesn't make it less-beta. It just fleeces people who don't actually know what "beta" and "release" mean.

It just fleeces people who don't actually know what "beta" and "release" mean. Warframe is an online focused game in which it is constantly being updated, theres many games that are online focused that already do this, and i dont see any problem with that at all either since these games only work while theyre online. Go check other online focused games, like vindictus, microvolts, hawken etc. Why do they do this in the first place? To keep players playing their game, to prevent them from being bored, to keep milking money from it. Call it whatever you like, but the moment an online focused game stops being updated is the moment it is considered dead or ignored, Not released or out of beta. And to be honest, this game still has problems in which can hinder gameplay and discourage players, such as the hud glitch. They should keep it beta until they remove those glitches. Also it can take decades to release everything you intended to release in a game, which is why they keep updating, for example, look at mabinogi, its been over 10 years for that game and they keep releasing updates for it, to expand its story and gameplay mechanics, And they do this to keep the game alive.

InritusOO Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 When our date matches the date in Warframe. So xxxx amount of years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decarien Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Considering that, for most games, I find "release" means "stop working on and just maintain" I hope it is not soon (yes I do recognize there are exceptions, just not enough). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin_Case001 Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Minecraft isn't beta anymore. It stopped being beta at U1.8, the "Adventure Update." After 1.8, they just changed it to 1.0 non-beta. Nothing really changed; they continued to update it and add boatloads of content. WF will be the same way. At some point they will decide it has enough stuff, call it 1.0 full release, and continue working on it. The point at which devs call a game like this fully released is basically arbitrary. It might as well be called released now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(NSW)LilVanu Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 When our date matches the date in Warframe. So xxxx amount of years. and that's when we all get sent to the void, come out in a mad state, put in a suit and then cryogenically frozen. No but seriously, It will probably remain in "beta" for a little while longer whilst they try to make the game bigger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alineah Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 (edited) Youre doing it wrong, youre using the product point of view, look at it at the service point of view and it makes complete sense. Edited March 19, 2014 by Alineah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Somedude1000 Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 MMOs technically never get released, however the endgame content set for about 1 or 2 years from now should be considered as the finished game. After that, the game either loses popularity or constantly introduces new content to maintain player interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Llyssa Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Youre doing it wrong, youre using the product point of view, look at it at the service point of view and it makes complete sense. Nope. If your waiter changed the menu and the rules for ordering every time he walked by your table, and you had to order each part of the meal on a separate occasion, would you say that the service was in a "final decisive form", or would you claim that your waiter was screwing with you?

If your waiter changed the menu and the rules for ordering every time he walked by your table, and you had to order each part of the meal on a separate occasion, would you say that the service was in a "final decisive form", or would you claim that your waiter was screwing with you?How about you compare it to services that WARN you that there might be changes?Like internet companies, phone companies, tv companies, how about those pay to play games as well? Are their services "unreleased" as well? They dont sell products but rather offer services, same could be said about these games, in which some arent charging you a single penny to play. In reality, none of us owns this game or anything it has in it, so how is it considered a product when you cant even own it? As for "final decisive form", that is rather rare when it comes to services, eventually changes end up made from time to time, you can say that its longterm but its guaranteed that a service will end up changing. They are almost never final unless the service remains the way it was until it ends, making the old model of the service no longer available. Most companies let the old services function until there is a convinient time to change it. For example, walmart is now taking used games, but the change wont take effect until next week.
