What Do You Wish For In The New Quests (Proxy Wars)?

[arch111]

Hi everyone!

 

Since Steve stated that End Game is the future(finally), and will be made up of two main things.

 

1.) Badlands. Sure, this is basically Clan War stuff, but it might open doors for DE to do more content and events to shape the story of the game.

 

2.) Proxy Wars. I guess we are the Proxies. This is the Quest System.

 

New factions and Guilds will be introduced. These will act like Darvo, or Ruk or Lotus by posting missions in the mail.

We can then accept missions and then gain reputation and membership in these new groups.

 

This will essentially replace Events. Events take to much time from DE so they must have a dynamic and reusable Quest Editor. I guess this is Hubs and Proxy Wars ina nutshell.

This is no easy thing to do. We all know missions need variety, or boredom sets in.

MMORPG suffers from this. There are however ways to do this right.

 

A thread called CELLS has lots of ideas. A main one is a string of missions with a set goal and loot that a group plays together, a Quest.

 

I want to know what you would like these quests to involve and include. The sky is the limit. Go nuts and wild. Give the designers a real challenge by giving them ideas of what to add as this system keeps growing.

 

Personally I dream of a Gamemaster type mode, a player generated Quest in a editor of sorts.

A sustainable source of high quality, skill dependent content along with cosmetic and non cosmetic rewards that adequately reward players and give them a feeling of satisfaction without needless exclusivity.

Forgot to add, Steve said Proxy Wars will be the Lore Delivery tool.

Tilesets that take advantage of the parkour system and have us actually use it for more than the occasional wallrun.

Secondary objectives that give you an incentive to stick around and explore.

Agreed! Cant they use the clan sprint level?

Not played only seen, but still.

And secrets! Npcs! Hidden Lore.

I want levels that require skills, such as a stealth, and special missions (ex: we have discovered a platoon of enemies somehow immune to warframe abilities. Eliminate them.) Also, I wouldn't mind exclusive cosmetics as long as they have a corresponding onein the other faction. Mods, however, should be identical rewards regardless of faction unless you can complete missions for multiple factions.

Something that is replayable, and makes me want to play for reasons other than rewards.

 

Say having interesting challenges that require you to do more than just sprint through a level.

 

Also I'd kinda like to see alternate armour pieces that alter stats (since they are removing helmets). Stuff like a Bandolier that grants extra ammo capacity or a leg sheathe for daggers that gives a small buff to sneak attacks but increses the time it takes to pull it out.

I hope..... END GAME, just all

[Kraizer]

My hope is that they don't entirely ditch these events/custom quests in favor of purely systemic/randomly generated quests and content.

 

I still remember WoW...daily quests and rep farming gets boring really fast.

Other example is Skyrim: Radiant Quests! Random generated quests that deliver huge/infinite amount of content to the game! Oh yeah...they are just "Go Kill X", "Go fetch Y"...they're not very good or even entertaining...

[AhziDahaka]

My hope is that there's some purpose in actually sticking with a faction instead of just joining one, getting the prizes, and then dumping them for another faction.  For example, certain cosmetics should only be accessible while you're a member of that faction, and others only for extended service to a faction.

 

That said, I also hope there's a way to get all weapons and mods possible from each faction despite that, not via trading but maybe through a double agency system or something...  So basically, you'd join Faction A, and then on their behalf you could join Faction B to infiltrate it under an alias, moving up through its ranks while gleaming inside information to bring back to Faction A.  Faction A could even give you orders to sabotage missions given to you by Faction B, or use gained security clearance to interrupt operations otherwise.  Obviously, if Faction B starts to suspect you they may turn on you, perhaps even mid-mission in a trap, and being caught as a double agent would basically take your reputation with Faction B down to the lowest possible level.

 

Maybe I should make a Fan Concepts post about it.

If I understood focus as a skill tree, then

It would be like this ac to Steve.

Work for Assasins. Do missions for them.

Gain Reputation and Status as a Tenno Assassin.

Reach max rank, get awesome gear and mods.

You would then be like a Class.

Like Banshee Master Assassin.

The Loot, cosmetics, Assassin Skin, Assassin weapons, mods etc would be a way to make the character unique, finally.

Now, I hope that the Class will give bonuses and penalties, but allso missions.

let me elaborate.

A certain Cell including an Assassin, and a Bladesmaster would have an effect on RNG, and the Quest Parameters.

This would really make players think before choosing a group.

In the end its about immersion and personal investment in the story.
