Lets Take A Single Ingame Concept And Make It Better.

[Xzenoo]

Yo! I was thinking that Warframe needs a touch of player imagination.

 

The rules are simple, you take a concept may that be mission, warframe, weapon, boss or a grineer lancer.

You first describe the current state of the concept, then describe your idea for how that concept could be improved.

 

Sabotage Mission

 

Current state:

Start from point A run towards point B while killing off the spawning enemies. Point B needs to destroyed, open core, swing a few times, done, run off to point C, win mission.

 

How it could be:

Start from point A, Point B (Ship/Station powercore) needs to be accessed trough points B1 and B2, points B1 and B2 need to be activated  to override reactor door.

Once overridden you have X amount of time to reach the powercore deck and cause a manual core overload before the enemy initiates a manual lockdown, locking the acces to powercore deck.

 

This will follow

 

1. Kill the Commanding Engrineer and his team, who can cancel the manual core overload, he is a tough fight (Boss type enemy), but killing him ensures the destruction of the ship IF the core is succesfully sabotaged.

 

2. Rush to the powercore deck, cause the manual overload to happen in X amount of minutes. The less X is the more rewards since less enemies will get to evac.

 

Parts 3-5 are you choices after the core sabotage has been either completed or failed

 

3. Kill the CO Engrineer, he is now more heavily guarded, but killing him will ensure the ship destruction, if the core was succesfully overloaded

 

4. Assasinating the ship CO while he tries to evacuate. The CO himself is a Boss type unit and very hard to kill since he is surrounded by a chosen squad of guards who are specialized in defending him.

 

5. Go to evac, if you managed to overload the core but CO Engrineer was not killed the ship will not be destroyed, merely crippled.

 

Reward parameters are decided by in the order of significance.

 

Primary

1. Ship destroyed

2. Core sabotaged

Secondary, both bosses have their own loot tables

3. Ship Commander Assasinated

4. CO Engrineer Assasinated

Absolute, Must be done in order for any rewards to be gained

5. Evac safely

 

Rewards also come in tiers

 

T0 = Evac safely = Nothing

T1 = Succeed in atleast 1 secondary obective = Small amount of credits and 1 resource pack

T2 = Succeed in one primary and one secondary = Medium amount of credits, 1 resource pack, 1 mod from a pool of 5

T3 = Succeed in both primaries and both secondaries = Large amount credits , 1 random and 1 chosen reource pack, 1 mods from a pool of 6, small amount of mission tokens 

T4 = Succeed in both primaries and both secondaries in nightmare mode or strict time limits = Medium amount of mission tokens, 2 chosen resource packs, 1 mods from a pool of 6 with a pool reroll, small chance to reward token items.

 

The mod pool is presented to you, all you need to do is click the one(s) you like. Mods from the pool can be ranked (depending in the mission level), they are always uncommon or rare quality or even mission type specific special mods.

 

The tokens would be a good way to fight the unlucky streak at RNG reward rolls, they could also be used to purchase affix items specific to only this mission type.

 

Ofc top mission completion times&levels would be shown for bragging rights, this kind of mission could also be changed in a whim to contain even more surprises and different kind of challeges.

 

This was all I could come up with in a short time. 

 

Let me see your ideas and concepts, the playerbase of warframe may not be able to go and desing this game for DE, but atleast we can give them good ideas.

I took the corpus and give them a hardcore facelift. More accurate, more tactical:
