notlamprey Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 I'm on a roll today, so I want to ask the community about their motivations in Warframe. Mainly, how is the game doing for you? Do you find yourself playing just for the fun of whatever content you're playing, or do you think you're spending too much time slogging through nonsense just because you want that stupid drop already? I'm talking about Intrinsic (fun on its own) versus Extrinsic (it kinda sucks, but think of the rewards!) motivation. I'm making this thread because I want our community to be a little better educated about this stuff, and because we might get good feedback out of asking the question. Once again, the folks at Extra Credits have said some good word about stuff. See if you can internally rate your motivation when playing Warframe (Pre-U14 only) on a scale from 1 (Suit XP again? Right, logging off.) to 10 (just give me another thousand enemies to kill already!), with 1 being totally Extrinsic and 10 being totally Intrinsic. Right now, I feel like Pre-U14 content is sitting somewhere around a 3 for me. I rarely do anything except for the promise of a reward. Leveling new weapons and Warframes is fun, but only in small amounts. Bear in mind, I have hundreds of hours logged in-game, so I'm probably a bit biased.

BizarreFetalChimpanzee Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 I've been at a 1 for a long time, sadly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kylecrafts Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Can I say: "Bit of both"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xlraistlx Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Right now I'd say I'm at a 7 scratching 6. But my grind and frustration are not affected yet by looking for Loki. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OptimumBow0 Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 8. I play the game and only periodically interrupt my fun with a bout of farming (3 missions). If I fail to find whatever it is I want, I go back to playing. I'm a filthy casual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only reason I wound up with so many hours played is because I spent a long time in "fun for its own sake" territory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metalarcher Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Probably 3. Spamming 4 does not do much in the way of making gameplay complex and engaging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Designing our enemies for Counter Play might help with making gameplay more complex and engaging. please go talk about that in the Counter Play thread #shamelessplugging Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorche Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 (edited) Eh, it range from 4 to 6 these days. Depending of what I'm leveling in-game. Edited June 12, 2014 by Lorche Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liverslices Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 (edited) I have to say 5. I am, at heart, a collector, and nothing is more beautiful to me than seeing EVERY prime weapon or frame in my inventory. Sometimes I "dress up" in my prime stuff and flaunt it on easy missions while I pick up some needed resources. But at the same time I enjoy the combat too. Often times I will pick one of my old weapons back up, go solo, and turn my HUD off. Then I get to experience gameplay that is peaceful and nice, even as grineer body parts and blood covers every exposed surface in sight.

Amazerath Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Do you find yourself playing just for the fun of whatever content you're playing, or do you think you're spending too much time slogging through nonsense just because you want that stupid drop already? I always play solely for fun. If a game offers me something that I'm not interested in, I will ignore it. If a game tries to force me into doing things I'm not interested in doing, I will look for another game. Warframe is still fun for me, but a lot of the fun I have comes from my own interest in adapting to new things and trying to do the same thing in different ways. The fact that I don't ever rush through content has also ensured that the game always has content I have never touched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
