Donutdude Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Greetings Tenno. I recently ran into a topic over on the Warframe wiki that deserves some attention. I have two questions for you all to discuss: 1.) Do you think data mining should be allowed? 2.) What are your opinions on DE's plans? Personally, I have always been against data mining. I feel it spoils the "surprise" that new content brings somewhat. So, discuss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheErebus. Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Aren't you technically leaking it through by showing us that link?Thereby allowing the data miners to basically win? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renegade343 Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 1.) Do you think data mining should be allowed? I am guessing that the word 'decompiling' may be more accurate. Then again, I am not sure how he/she does it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Letter13 Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 While people are welcome to discuss leaks elsewhere, discussing leaked information here before the developers announce it is a bit of a no-no: 2a) LEAKED CONTENT- Please do not promote or share leaks in the forums. If you are concerned about leaks please PM the DE staff. Continued posting of leaks/rumors will result in a warning point if the action continues after initial contact. Also I've removed the link from your post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donutdude Posted September 2, 2014 Author Share Posted September 2, 2014 While people are welcome to discuss leaks elsewhere, discussing leaked information here before the developers announce it is a bit of a no-no: Also I've removed the link from your post. Oh snap. I did not even realise this was a policy. Sorry about that. Thanks for removing the link. I'll fire an e-mail to DE's support about it instead then.

I'll fire an e-mail to DE's support about it instead then. A PM would probably get you a faster answer, support is really backlogged currently. I could probably answer questions you might have, but I'd understand if you'd rather talk to one of the forum staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donutdude Posted September 2, 2014 Author Share Posted September 2, 2014 Well, I've filed a ticket anyway. I'll follow-up with a forum PM at a later date if the ticket isn't answered, there's no rush. Thank you for the consideration though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheErebus. Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Well now, that part is done with. Data mining in my opinion, is pretty douchey. I mean leaking out stuff when devs are keeping it a secret isn't a good thing to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)Twenty7Talonz Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 You mean you don't like to know what's coming a month or so before actual release? Once upon a time I didn't either. But as a PS4 player, that means I can't check forums for absolutely anything or the surprise is ruined, can't check region chat or surprise is ruined. It sucks but I had to suck it up and deal with it. As for what's coming , Im excited about the melee weapon prime on it's way and for no reason since I won't be able to use it for another 2-3 maybe even 4 months.

Dogoframe Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 And this yet another evidence of something some people have been saying for a long time: Only the drop tables were obfuscated in WF's code, even stuff yet to be released is open for viewing with the correct knowledge and tools. Also please before hating on dataminers completely remember we have to thank them for bringing some accountability and helping DE "fix" Void drop tables not once, but twice, before they were blocked from doing so any further by the obfuscation of drop tables.

Monolake Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Wasn't it totally obvious what frame gets primed next? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donutdude Posted September 2, 2014 Author Share Posted September 2, 2014 Wasn't it totally obvious what frame gets primed next? Actually, no. Why? If Nyx was obviously going to be primed, why would they nerf her? It would reduce the potential revenue the Prime Access pack would grant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hemmo67 Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 I once played Battle star galactica and when dataminers leaked info of big update that would had changed game a lot the owners decided to hault it for one year because of dataleak problem needed to be solved :/ maybe even DE at somepoint does this same trick cuz of miners -.- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthdart Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Wanna avoid spoilers? Don't go looking for it. If you come to the forums, you are looking for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrotherIcarus Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Personally I don't care either way. Although I do miss knowing the percentages of the drops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blatantfool Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 1. It isn't allowed, however the truth is that there are not a huge variety of options DE can employ to stop it. They can slap a new lock on but someone will always figure it out. The majority of the people doing datamining are both skilled and bored, a deadly effective combination. 2. I wish DE would actually stop and care about lore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Semshol Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 I don't even know what the spoilers are...I just want my Soma Prime. I wish that would be a thing :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olematon.Mies Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 I'm more on a Yes-And-No road about data mining. If the purpose of it is to dig out info, like drop rates, precise health scaling per level and that sort of thing. Stuff that already exist but not known, which in general would be nice to know, I'm totally cool with that. But if they have to dig out stuff that are already in the files but not yet shown to the public officially, like the next primes and such, that's bad. Dont do it.

GeoDP Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 So...i don't really care for spoilers,wanna tell me what was datamined since the link is removed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
