Smart Rush

[Guest]

So far, rushing an item in the Foundry cost a fixed price, which depended on the tier of the item as well as its building time. Rushing a clan room, however, cost a dynamically decreasing amount of platinum, depending on how much time is left.

Applying the same mechanic to Foundry items could prove beneficial both to DE and to us Tenno. A win-win situation, so to say.

 

Roughly speaking, a Warframe would cost 50p to rush at the 3 days mark, 35p at the 2 days mark,  20p at the 24 hours mark, 10p at 12h and so on up to a 5p minimum. Weapons that need 12/24h would have a slightly different scale, also with either a 5p or 2p cap. Not only would it offer a smarter rush opportunity, it would also open a much higher possibility that more people actually invest platinum into rushing things, especially closer towards the end of the building time.

 

Players who didn't pay 50 platinum at the 3 day mark are very unlikely to pay the same amount in the last day of the build; however, many would be fine with giving up 20p to have that much desired Warframe one day earlier.

Personally, I often find myself compelled to rush those last 6 hours of something, but hold back because of how unjustified the price would be after all this waiting. Would it have been fairly lower, I would've thrown my plat at it without second thought.

 

I hope this idea is met well and creates a healthy debate whether this should exist or not.

If DE refuses to budge on Foundry waiting times then I really hope they implement a system like yours.

1+ needs to be added.

Seriously, if it works for the dojos, why not the foundry?

I definitely agree.  It'd be quite nice for players, and DE would get a lot more of my platinum if this kind of change were implemented...

I like this idea a lot.

Long overdue yet they keep twiddling their thumbs. Given the potential amount of money that can be made with this change, it's shocking they have not done it yet, what a shame. 

 

Don't they want more money. Would they resort to less money making schemes like the Hydroid fiasco if they had done this change?

 

They are wasting time and money by not doing this or putting it off. Get it done, make more money. How hard can it be to do that. They overhauled ther UI again, added more stuff, yet sit on this crappy rush system that is only good when done immediately upon starting and any later would be a waste and does not reward having patience nor giving the player more incentive to rush.

 

The foundry have been around for years, why do they continue to sit on this? Is the system beyond complicated, then uncomplicate it and make more money and not take the easy route.

 

What a shame...

Judging by the feedback... DE, MAKE THIS HAPPEN! (pls)

[MagPrime]

I like this idea.

Why not go one step further and revamp the Platinum Market?

Unfortunately this suggestion is as old as dirt, and so far DE has kind of just been mute about it - which tells me they aren't interested and are being as noncommittal as possible. Perhaps they'll come around eventually but I doubt much is going to change anytime soon.

I figured. The more of a reason to nudge them about it, since so far, everyone wants it to happen. They ought to pay attention to it sooner or later.

I have the same general idea as yours, but decided to link it with revamping the Platinum Market just to make everything more palatable.
