Maybe it's just my sugesstion to improve stealth gameplay , and maybe if we success stealth gameplay get bonus and ad more equipment for stealth gameplay . Why I suggest stealth gameplay ? because there's some excitement when we stealth . Sorry if there's wrong in my post

I happen to agree with u on this point i would like to see maybe multiple ways in and out of a room make it possible to go around certain enemies any more suggestions towards stealth play would be awesome.

[Suron]

Not sure if any of these have been asked but im gonna toss it out there anyway.

1. Any plans for player vs player gameplay ?

2. Any talk about clans ? ( maybe a way to show your clan to other players like tags, colors, or items only clan members can use )

Love the game and can't wait for the 10th to get some more info one what you guys have planned.

[tony1922]

Do you plan on making the amount of stuff it takes to make a warframe without having to pay plat for it? Currently you have to grind hours upon hours just to get the right chasis and then build them which you have to grind more parts for and then on top of that 30k each part. Then after you have all the parts its another 30k and 3 days to wait for the war frame. Do you guys have any plans on fixing this to make it less time consuming and costly then just paying platinum for it?

I happen to dissagree with you on this simply b/c for a free to play game you are actually able to get anything you want from either drops or using credits the amount and time it takes i believe is just right simply b/c like i said b4 its a free to play game and giving u the option to purchase platinum but not making it required is an excellent way of keeping the free to play players and also getting money to help support this amazing game this also helps prevent you from maxing everything out in a week to two weeks it adds a little.... um im not sure of the word im looking for ATM but it really makes u put forth an effort and dont get me wrong i am a free to play player aswell i havnt used platinum for anything other than reactors or catylists and i have had to grind/farm for every weapon or warframe and wait the 12-3 day wait for build time and even pay the 30k credits or more for them.

[PsychPT]

So if a gun has default of %7.5 crit damage and I put on a MOD that does +%30 crit damage do I get

(A) %7.5 + %30 = %37.5

/or/

(B) %.7.5 + %30 of %7.5 which is %2.25 = %9.75?

[Harrob]

I have far too many questions for one show, so I have categorized them by topic. Pick your favorite(s)!

MAP GENERATION

1. Do you plan on making less linear levels, with sections being mazes of rooms with an end goal, rather than always having a single route through a ship?

2. Can we expect more puzzles in the future of map generation? If so, will they be randomly generated?

3. A good way to create more variance throughout levels would be to break down the tile sets into smaller pieces, so that there are a large number of possible combinations. Can we expect more variance within rooms and hallways in the future, or more large rooms added to the tile sets?

4. Will mounted weaponry be added? Especially for the defense missions, can we expect to have heavy guns to take from enemies and use against waves of enemies in the future (Not necessarily machine guns, perhaps explosive mortars or energy weapons like lasers).

GENERAL MODIFICATIONS

1. Will extremely rare modifications be able to be made at the foundry, and their recipes found as random drops in missions?

2. Will there be a way to change the polarity of polarized mod slots by use of a very rare mod (see question above), which would cost some mod space to use, but would still be worthwhile for very demanding modifications. If not, will there be an alternate way to change mod slot polarity?

3. Will we be able to polarize non-polarized mod slots in the future?

4. Will there be a mod which would add more space for mods?

5. Will mods in the future be able to modify base stats so as to boost other mods?

WEAPONS/WEAPON MODS

1. Will rocket launcher type weapons or other explosive launchers be added to the game?

2. Can we expect explosive ammunition type modifications?

3. Will energy weapons like laser rifles be added to the game?

4. Will shields be added as an alternative to a melee weapon (shield would block non-elemental ranged attacks, but be useless against enemy melee attacks or special attacks.)?

5. Will there be the option to pack an extra pistol or possibly alternate melee weapon instead of a longarm?

6. Will throwing weapons be added to the game?

7. Will dual weapons be able to have the option to modify each gun individually?

8. Will polearms such as spears or halberd style weapons with very long ranges be added to the game?

9. Will the starting weapons be changed from Mk1 Braton, Lato, and Skana to something else in the future, or be given multiple options for starting weapons? For example, being able to choose between a Mk1 Braton or a light shotgun, or perhaps a cheap rifle.

10. Will weapon skins be added and be able to be swapped on the same gun, rather than being a seperate weapon such as the Skana Prime or Braton Vandal?

WARFRAMES/WARFRAME MODS

1. Will there be more options for warframe abilities within particular warframes, with a limit on how many abilities you can have? For example, Mag could have access to Pull, Push, Shield Polarize, Bullet Attractor, and Crush, but only be able to pick four.

2. Currently there are alternate helmets. Can we expect alternate chassis in the future?

3. Will warframes cost less platinum in the future?

4. Will there be warframe specific weapons in the future?

5. Will warframe skins be added in the future?

6. Will there be modifications changing the player's UI in the future? For example, a modification which would cause you to see a detailed rundown of an enemy's weaknesses or highlight weak points on their armor when you look at them.

MISSIONS

1. Do you plan on making large-scale missions with more than four players to a team, massive amounts of rooms to pass through and multiple objectives, perhaps even rest stops where players can change their equipment mid-mission before progressing, and several bosses for a grand reward at the end?

2. Will our Tenno be able to accept side missions without the knowledge of Lotus, perhaps hired assassinations on special targets such as politicians or important businessmen, bound to invite assassins similar to the Stalker in response to completing these morally questionable missions?

3. Will missions ever take place on-planet rather than on asteroids or space ships as they have been so far?

GENERAL

1. Will the game be seeing more enemy factions soon?

2. Will general hub areas be added to the game?

3. Can we expect any forms of PvP in the future?

4. Will the foundry system change in the future?

5. Will platinum prices change in the future?

6. Can we expect UI changes in the future?

7. Will more lore and history be addressed in future updates?

8. Will weapons and warframes made through the foundry have accidental variances, or accidents in productions which cause the warframe to have abnormal stats?

For example, there could be a chance that your Rhino suit you just spent three days making could have slightly more energy in their energy pool than the average Rhino. Alternatively, it could be detrimental causing you to have less health or speed or what have you, so it is not always a good thing.

[Stereowned]

So I am particular fan of looking different from everyone else. So do you guys plan on making customization more indepth? Perhaps mods influencing appearence for Warframes and Guns?

Could you guys make the Stalker more creepy? I feel virtually nothing when the Stalker appears. Perhaps turn off the lights and turn on your flashlight?

[Sorrien]

Why do you not have a trading system? I would love to see an auction house type deal and after talking with a lot of players, we unanimously agreed that it is one of two features this game requires to be perfect. I have been so impressed with this game and after 32 hours of play I still feel the same way. The fact you managed to create your own engine, make an amazing game with it, make that game free, and have 0 game-breaking glitches in open beta (from what I have seen) is impressive and all of your developers should be incredibly proud and satisfied with their work. The only other thing this game needs to be complete is the ability for a group to be able to vote to kick another player. I cannot tell you how many times I have had to leave a group because someone was afk for 15 minutes and everyone finally gave up and left. So my question is why have you not added these features to your amazing game yet?

[Date_Tsunemoto]

So many ideas and questions from so many ppl... gues its my turn.

Q1: Do you have in plan to make more interactive maps? for example being able to manually close doors or turning off lights by hacking to ANY console (would help with blocking the way of infestation swarm)

Q2: Add it to Q1 - Do you have in plans to add Breaking or Jamming Doors/Lifts for example on any infestation mission, there are many ways to move on next lvl of the ship/station everything is kinda old running on low or secondary power, some doors should have panel to open it manually, some lifts can just brake or jamm in the middle of getting up getting you stuck.

Q3: Do you have in plans to make this game more stealthy and tactical? (we are mercenaries, ninjas - we MUST be tactical and stealthy) for example being able to use ropes, hanging upon the enemies while they will walk under you and you will be able to walk away without making any alarm, or beig able to stick to wals or any other objects wait for a good moment and grab enemy and kill it with knife? we have super futuristic organic (I think so) suits it must have TV or at least NV.

Q4: Do you plan to make all types of Warframes in Male/Female versions?

Q5: Do you have in plans make more special enqounters?

Q6: Do you have in plan to remake some missions? for example destroying mining machines with sword... ehh..., give us another task to first find a aminition magazine where we must get explosives charges, and when you finally plant them you must cover it from enemy that will want to dissarm it.

More questions (and there will be more for sure) will be added in this post later

I saw a few other PVP posts, but are there any plans to add any sort of competitive features, not just player vs. player combat? Even something little like saving the weekly top players score for Assassination missions. Or even some sort of space samurai parkour race to the finish.

People put a lot of time and effort into their mods/frames and it would be cool to show that effort off to your friends and others. I know I feel like an instant badass when I see my Tenno drop down from that vent, but that feeling starts to wane after a few hundred missions :P

PS: I just wanted to say that I love the constant community interaction and frequent updates so far!! Keep it up guys, I love my space Diablo!

God, I love all of these people asking questions that DE will NOT answer.

The questions about PVP can be answered on the FAQ. "For the forseeable future, we will not be doing PVP".

The questions about new warframes, tilesets, and weapons. Of course there will be new content regarding these, it's just a matter of 'Do we want to answer this short, or long?'.

Trading system is coming soon, stop asking about it.

Again. PVP is NOT happening soon, so stop asking for it.

i just watched the vid. of the last live stream that they did, and they said that they maybe doing something with the clans. i dont know if it will be pvp but what ever it is i would like to know what there planing to do.

[tackon]

also id like to no more about the teno. It would be cool to have a mission that would tell a breif story on what happend to the teno, what was this war that they were in? why are they just now begining to fight again? and if there the only servivors who are they fighting for, or are they just fighting for there own existence? idk if you will talk about these but i would like to know if you guys are going to be touching on these subjects.

[Mileno]

I just started playing the Beta 3 days ago, now i have 3 of my freinds playing it.

was wondering if there will be PvP at any point?

[Xiticix]

Loving the game... keep up the good work!!

The game seems designed as game-pad friendly.

Will the option of changing up the key bindings for a pad come into effect any time soon? Would like to be able to switch d-pad as power selection and activation, as well as assigning triggers to melee/block and aim/shoot.

[bima031]

And i suggest again make a place for hiding and the patrol enemies make it not easy watch us , and maybe i will like if this suggesst it in update 8

[Arnen]

I can see this game doing well and possable out doing the other FTP's that are out there but my question is will there be any type of PvP added to this game? I enjoy playing but constanly doing PvE all the time is going to "Kill THE GAME"...unless you like to PvE the same thing over and over.

[Smashly]

Here's a big one: when is update 8 coming out? I'm really excited to get this reset so I can use my platinum on stuff that's actually worth it. >_>

[baka111]

Kappa is the name of a japanese amphibious creature with a lilypad on its head. Why you'd associate that with Twitchtv, I don't know.

Joke q and to see if they read all questions. Might as well ask whose idea was it to have a map called hymeno. Still going to add questions in previous post if think of any new ones anyway.

Edited April 6, 2013 by baka111

[TheAMJ7]

Are there plans to make the Warframe be more unique for each other? like alt chasis just like the alt helmets?

[Morcant]

I spend a fair amount of time in global chat, so these first questions relate mainly to chat, and questions that come up constantly therein.

Will matchmaking / invites be improved in the near future? A lot of questions come up with players unable to receive or accept invitations to lobbies, or directly join friends' lobbies, or the Contacts list shows one or both players offline.

Will a more robust tutorial be implemented, explaining such bedrock concepts as crafting materials, blueprints, mods, and how to find them? Or do you feel the community resources such as this forum and the wiki are sufficient?

Will the chat server have anti-spamming (message delay or autokick beyond a threshold) implemented? This would go a long way toward improving the experience. Related, perhaps a channel bot could be used to automatically kick people using specific offensive keywords and permutations (i.e., hate speech). It would need to be more selective than the current censoring method, however, to prevent false matches found within ordinary words, for example "assassination" being half-censored.

---

And a couple of personal game curiosities:

Are there any plans for more enemy factions, or perhaps mixed defense missions against multiple enemy factions?

Will there be some "alert mission exclusive" firearms eventually?

Thanks for all your efforts, looking forward to the livestream!

[Omna]

Q1: Any chance of getting an option to change the cross hair color or design, only reason i ask is because im shade blind and it gets difficult to see my cross hair when in a fire fight i often find my self moving 180 degrees to locate my cross hair so that i can train it on my foes.

Q2: when will the revive be fixed there have been countless times that me or another team mate has fallen and cannot be revived and other times when i can revive my team mates but they are unable to revive me. This gets very frustrating specialy when it happens right before a boss fight and durring.

[Smiggy]

Is there a way to implement during a mission,say on an infested level for a grineer assault team to invade the level as well? i think it would make for very entertaining action. Kind of like the "heads up" we get from lotus mid mission. A way for each faction to butt in on missions every now and then would be awesome!

Edited April 6, 2013 by Smiggy

[ddk666]

Why melee weapons are much worse than firearms?

are you high !? use the gram dude way stronger than range weapons moded rank 30 ... kill bossses a lot faster with mele charge hits

Wish we get a catalyst this time
