AarkTheDragon Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 (edited) So i just read in the wiki that if your kubrow is at 0% bonus health for too long it dies? If i spend time and/or platinum to get that dog, it shouldn't EVER die. It should drop to +0% bonus health and then stay there until I start working on caring for it again. If somebody's internet crashes or they need to go away unexpectedly, or they just forget to put the thing in stasis, they shouldn't EVER have to come back to find that the thing died, especially after how much of a credit sink kubrows are. Hell, i'd take dropping down to -50% health, but DYING? REALLY, DE? Trying to force people to come back everyday now, instead of just a friendly incentive with the daily login rewards? We shouldn't be penalized for not logging in everyday. EDIT: when i have already pointed out the fallacies of stasis, telling me to "put them in stasis" is pointless and stupid. Either read the thread, or don't post. EDIT2: THERE'S AN IDEA! Some plat or a quest for a component that will automatically apply the DNA stabilizers for your kubrow! Anybody high enough level to be using a Kubrow will be making enough credits to have a steady supply of DNA stabilizers, so the thing would always be stocked.

DarthRevan84 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 (edited) Yup exactly. If you plan to take breaks you need to put it in stasis if you forget and dont log in for a week? Dogs gonna be dead. and lets be honest its not hard to find a wifi spot or something to connect to wireless log in and put it in stasis or ask a friend hey can i come over and borrow your PC for like 5 minutes lol.

Lawrenciumm Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 (edited) You spent what, a few bucks to get your kubrow. Real dogs cost hundreds to thousands of dollars and they die. Edited July 30, 2014 by Lawrenciumm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haldos Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 If you're not a fan of logging in everyday, putting your Kubrow in stasis will protect it from DNA degradation until you decide to take it out again, whether that be the next day, or next month.

Austerity Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 (edited) Kubrows were not designed for people who are not daily active players. Don't like it, don't have one, or just put it in stasis. They've given players options for not killing their pets when away. If you care about your pet enough to be hurt that it dies while you are on "vacation" then I suppose you should care enough about it to remember to put it in stasis. This seems like a really baseless complaint. Edited July 30, 2014 by Austerity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acos Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 If you're going to give me an option to make it so it doesn't die when I'm away for a long time, why not just make it so that it doesn't die when I'm away for a long time? What is this meant to test, exactly, my ability to remember to water a plant? There's no reason to have it die if you're going to give me a feature to ensure that doesn't happen *anyway*.

This seems like a really baseless complaint. If they are going to put a feature in the game, it needs to be a feature accessible to people regardless of how they play, and again, forgetting to put it in stasis should not result in you losing your kubrow. i'm fine with it being so debilitated you can't take it out, but losing it completely? no. thats unacceptable for people who have actually put time into it. not everybody has a laptop to log in and do it themselves, and not everybody has somebody readily available to take the time out of their day to go and care for a virtual space dog while you're on vacation. You spent what, a few bucks to get your kubrow. Real dogs cost hundreds to thousands of dollars and they die. ...are you seriously trying to compare real life to a video game? Seriously?

Opt1cBlast Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 OP, I share the same thoughts. It's very clear I won't be using kubrows simply because I don't plan on spending enough time on this game. There is no reward for players like myself who will play few if any missions per day. I won't always have time for the 3 hour thaw period and don't want to spend such a large portion of my credits on stabilizers either. I'm not too mad about it, though, because it's another reminder making me less likely to spend more money on the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're contradicting yourself with every goofy rationale you type. Putting time into it but yet someone will fail to put it away to protect those time and efforts? Putting time into it but yet someone does not have a PC to log into to do it themselves? Putting time into it but yet someone is not available to take the time out of their day to put it into stasis? Uhh.. ok. You cant ask DE to cover player shortcomings or natural disasters. They are not an insurance company. Like everyone has already kindly said, put it into stasis. Leave yourself a sticky note, use your smartphones app, or a pc app, or a Chrome app, or a Gmail reminder, or a..... anything thats avail to us in 2014.

Tubercle1801 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 As of now, letting it decay to death is the only way to get rid of kubrows. Besides, there are tonnes of warnings about 'YOU KUBROW IS DYING HUR DUH SO PUT IT IN STASIS'. When in doubt, put the dog in the freezer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minfduck Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Nothing told me mine would DIE!!!! I'm really "annoyed" for use of a clean word, I spent plat on the thing to begin with and havnt had time to play, now I come back to its died, seriously WTF! That needs to be fixed ASAP - and to whoever said that that a real dog would die too, your a moron, this is a game about freaking space ninjas.....

Leave yourself a sticky note, use your smartphones app, or a pc app, or a Chrome app, or a Gmail reminder, or a..... anything thats avail to us in 2014. i'm not contradicting myself at all, you're just an idiot. For example: i am going on vacation for a week. I put time into this game, i have a very nice computer i play on at home. I can't bring it with me, and I don't have something to access warframe to stasis my kubrow on the road. I also don't have anybody around me that could stop by for a second to stasis her for me if i forgot to. The people i know would have to drive for 20-30 minutes to do that for me, which is something they aren't going to do. So basically, if i forget to stasis my kubrow, she's dead. period. Time, hundreds of thousands of credits, platinum, all of that down the drain. That is absolute bs. MAYBE if the kubrow could be taken in and out of stasis with no 3-hour cool down after taking it out, so that i could put her in and out of stasis every time i log in and before i log out. But no. Again, I would take going down to -50% health minimum, then not being able to be brought on missions until healed. But dying is just stupid. This super fancy ship with all this AI tech and ancient orokin components and it doesn't have an automatic dna stabilizer? HELL, I"D TAKE THAT! 50 plat or a quest to get a component that uses the dna stabilizers automatically. There is no reason that shouldn't be a viable option.

Austerity Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 (edited) i'm not contradicting myself at all, you're just an idiot. For example: i am going on vacation for a week. OK, lets stop right here. You expect me to believe you left on "vacation" without a moments notice? In fact your notice of going away was so short you didn't even have the 2min. it takes to log onto warframe and put you kubrow in stasis, yet... You want us all to believe that you care soooooo much for your virtual pet that it's the Developers fault it's dead? EDIT: Are you in witness relocation services? oh wait don't answer that, DE keeps logs. Edited July 30, 2014 by Austerity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anybody high enough level to be using a Kubrow will be making enough credits to have a steady supply of DNA stabilizers, so the thing would always be stocked. My bigger issue is that Warframe's been DDoS'd repeatedly in the last few days, which has prevented me from logging on for quite a while. What this means is that I wasn't able to get on for quite a bit, through no fault of mine. I don't see my Affinity Boosters being credited for that forced time off. Why the hell would I get a unit that costs a ton, and then is beholden to a mechanic with the reliability of a Chevorlet Chevette made of graham crackers?

Shevrock Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 I got my Kubrow the day after U14 rolled out and almost lost it due to a massive computer failure making sure i was completely unable to access the game. Thankfully I saved my Kubrow at 10%, but i completely agree with the OP. Arbitrarily killing something because someone is caught unawares and unable to login is BS, and having a negative health stat/ being unable to use your "Bro" for a period of time seems a helluva lot nicer than coming home from the " computer shop, hospital, temporary hurricane shelter, ect" to find your dog dead.

Hellions Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Yea, i agree with the op. For the amount of plat that a kubro costs it shouldn't die. They want us to spend time getting imprints to make our own personal kubro, which takes days just to find close to the right imprint you want and also costs a lot of plat to be able to buy the imprints you need off players. Then if i were to get it to 30 and forma it a couple times to have all the max mods i want on it and finally complete it. Then all of a sudden a part in my computer dies, internet goes down for a couple days or any number of other reasons that could happen would cause me to not be able to log in and all the time i spent making this majestic beast would go to waste and he would just die within days. that would be very unfair and at the very least there should be some type of option to pay a certain amount of plat to have your kubro revived.

Aurora Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Honestly the "just put it in stasis or don't have one" is a bad argument against this. Sure stasis is there for times when you can't log in for a while, but that only works if you have advanced notice or 5 mins to do so. Tossing it in stasis every time you're about to log out is really not a great option for anyone who doesn't play for 4+ hours a day. If I have an hour before work that I can go do a couple runs and want to play with my kubrow, I should be able to. But regardless of that, what happens if something comes up? Something out of your control that prevents you from being a responsible virtual pet owner. Should you be punished for that? Should your time, reactors, forma, platinum be wasted because something happened you can't do anything about? There are many things that could happen, computer dies, internet goes out (outage, unpayed bill, billing issue ect), power outage (I've had my power go out for 28 days in the middle of winter), get hit by a bus, family member gets hit by a bus, sudden death in the family that requires immediate travel and the list can probably go on. It's bad enough if any of that happens, but who wants to have to add on that their kubrow died because of it? I don't think anyone should have to feel like they HAVE to play warframe every single day or face consequences (is it becoming a job now?), just because they want to play with just one feature of the game. If stasis didn't have the 3 hour wait time, it wouldn't be so bad, toss it nito stasis, drag it back out when you log back in. I'd happily do that, and actually get to swap between the types depending on the mission I'm doing. Short Reply: You could get hit by a bus and end up with a dead kubrow.
