ReiganCross Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Yeah, it's happening right now. I want the Dark Sword, always wanted ever since i first got my Dark Dagger blueprint and twice now has the Dark Sword alert popped up while i'm at work. This is annoying, this is stupid and this especially disencouraging. I just hate the fact that you're punishing me for not being available to play your game 24/7 on a whim of the Alert Generator. It just really puts me out of the mood to keep playing your game, which is kind of dangerous when i'm about to start a massive Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate gaming campaign (Which i really hope won't put my interest away from Warframe, since, y'know, pretty different games and all. Although, now that i think about it... Not really THAT different... Huh.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HexCaliber Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 (edited) Dont worry about it I just started the alert and had to drop it, as it was impossible to get to the target wp, thanks to the new #*($%%@ up tile-sets. I searched every inch back and forth, and it was obvious the wp was created behind a door way that was locked, with no way round. Not the first since the introduction of the new sets, frankly, little testing seems to have been undertaken before releasing them.

Venarge Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 So you basically are upset because the game doesnt fit your work times? Wow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ethics Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 I just got home from work and the alert was there, got the BP. I remember it being up while i was asleep last night/at work today so it looks like they are trying to balance it out at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HexCaliber Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 They fixed the markers you know. What they have fixed and what remains to be fixed are entirely different, Since yesterday's patch, I have had a sabotage target that had not spawned (second time this has happened) and just now an unreachable wp. I know the area where the wp was located, I know how to get there, it just wasn't possible as the door was locked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaiters Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Yeah, I'm sure the Devs were like; 'wait for it.. wait for it... OKAY HE's GONE! go go go! put the alert up! Muahahahahahaa." If you reeeaaalllly want the Dark sword Blueprint you just have to attend the whipping sessions, I heard they hand them out afterwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReiganCross Posted April 16, 2013 Author Share Posted April 16, 2013 So you basically are upset because the game doesnt fit your work times? Wow. Kind of, yes, real time in game is kind of an inconvenience to the player and if i can't enjoy the full content for any reasonable reason, then it's diminishing the gameplay experience. Also, leaving the PC switched on would work, but that's an archaic method of old MMORPGs of leaving a store open while you're away. It became archaic because it became pretty much a shore of making sure you're ALWAYS there paying attention to the game (Which, to be fair, i kind of am right now, still getting punished for actually having a life.)

What the F*** you want me to do, quit work and stay on Warframe full time so they can just call me on a whimp like their little *@##$? If that's the game you want to play i have no business with you.

Gaiters Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 The rewards from alerts aside from Potato's are a one shot deal, you only need one. So them being exceptionally rare is a good thing. I'm sure the Dark sword will pop up in the rotation again, hopefully you won't be at work when it does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So them being exceptionally rare is a good thing. I'm sure the Dark sword will pop up in the rotation again, hopefully you won't be at work when it does. That's actually a good argument. Hell, you won't even need potatoes after gathering enough of them. But you still have to admit that SOME sort of inconvenience this Alert system DOES in fact causes. And i wouldn't be upset if it was any other drop, but Dark Sword was not dropping AT ALL before U7, we spent about 3 months not even knowing how it LOOKS! So it's not rare, it's INSANE rare, i'll have to wait another 3 months so that MAYBE they'll put an Alert on a time that i can actually gather?

ethics Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 As i said it looks like they are trying to address this. The current system can't really cater for all time zones. I guess they could be on a weekend but then some people work weekends, some are busy with families, you get the idea. I suggested elsewhere that they could run for longer periods (say 12 hours), still not gonna please everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell, look at the livestream special alerts they always put up after the stream is pretty acessible to everyone on every time schedule. In an 8 hours window i doubt you can't find the 10-20min necessary to clear an alert at home. But 30min? Hell, sometimes it's possible to miss it even if you CAN play it because you're engaged in a long duration boss! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skyfallen Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 I hate the disconnect loop when you try to start an alert mission, it literally makes me want to wrestle an aligator... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xenapan Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 they put up a darksword bp alert for 12 hours. that should be plenty of time for ANYONE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReiganCross Posted April 16, 2013 Author Share Posted April 16, 2013 they put up a darksword bp alert for 12 hours. that should be plenty of time for ANYONE It is... I honestly am still struggling to know exactly how i feel about seeing the Dark Sword BP for all this time. In one side i feel happy, they allowed me to get what i always wanted! On the other side i feel kind of bad for complaining about it... (Maybe i should delete this topic?) Then i start to think about what this means for the sword, it's still goingto be pretty rare, but not as much. Is it my fault? Yeah, doubt arises...

Ahriman40 Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 I got it and sold the blueprint, it's worse than avalibe weapons. Don't know what is the deal with this sword that people want it so badly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMSGM Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 (edited) The Dark sword does triple damage to Infested, along with its looks and damage i think its more than a worthy weapon for my Tenno armory :) Edited April 17, 2013 by RMSGM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
