Syndate Hunters

[Petersheikah]

I recently saw a video (the autor is Quiette Shy) where the player ecountered a hunter team of the enemy Syndacate. While it was clearly challenging and hard to kilk them, I felt a bit bad seeing that they were just regular enemies.

Then I had an idea. What if the Hunters were the players?

Let me explain:

I, player A, am in the New Loka Syndacate. I open my Syndacate Menu and I see a random player B with low reputation with the New Loka. I click on the mission and I appear to kill him, just like the Stalker. If I've succesfully killed Player B, I'll receive a nice amount of Reputation (something like 500-1000 points, maybe?) and the "Mission Complete" screen pops out. If I got killed, then I fail the mission and maybe get a negative bonus.

Obviously the more players are in the session, the more the hunter is strong, 'cause it's super easy to get rekt by Rhino, Nova, Valkyr with Boltor Prime/Soma or other OP gear. And there could be Conclave Level restrictions too.

That'd be cool imo, and could mix a bit PvP and PvE, that are completely different things atm.

What do you guys think?

Pvp in warframe the most unbalanced thing on the internet. So I wouldn't like that. I would however like to see some unique enemies being replaced with those existing ones.

Forcing PvP on players? YAre  you asking for a scolding boy?

Would be awesome, but with things like my Dread, the fight would be over in pull of the draw-string. There would have to be restrictions or something, I don't know how, but otherwise, it would just be PvP in PvE.

[SanguineSol]

sounds like dark souls invasions ..... that would be some crazy stuff

[(PSN)Strifedecer]

I approve of this.

Not in its raw form, I approve of a similar system. The Syndicates and their reputation should je in the hands of the players.

Would be fun if DE created unique enemies that were controlled by players to hunt down others.

I'm not "Forcing" anything. I only think that it could be cool if we could have different interactions with players, at the moment we share with the other players only the Alert Missions, and the Syndacates are based just on one person, not on a group like in the regular missions.

Obviously the PvP should be balanced first

"TENNO! QUICK! HIDE! THERE IS A RED VEIL HIDSQUAD COMING!"

"Tenno? TENNO!"

'Damnit, couldn't you say that a bit faster? I died already from the insta-penta to the face! And then they teabagged me!'

 

yeaaaaa no. Not a good idea. It's so horribly imbalanced in terms of PvP (since the weapons are mostly balanced for PvE).

Not to mention a 'hunter' would probably take his best stuff possible. A player who is being hunted might just be sporting his stuff he needs to level.

 

 

the only way to balance it would be to force a preset upon the hunter (frame X, with those mods, weapons G, K and Z, with those and those mods), but even then it would be unbalanced, just like how unbalanced stalker / G3 encounters are.

I said that there could be Conclave Level Restrictions, also, the Hunted Player has 3 Allies with him.

What if the Conclave Damage Reduction was only applied on the Hunter's weapons, while the hunted player plays with his regular stats?

What if, I'm just going to use examples here, I work for Arbiters of Hexis, and a RV hit man comes after me, but then, an Arbiter comes in to fight the RV hit man, to support me, and then boom. Crazy things happen.

I saw the vid too, Was just a bunch of Ancients all glowing red :)

 

Thought that was a bit cheap too :)

 

I also think it would be cool if you could accept mercanary missions from your syndicate directly,, which puts you on a hunt team :)

Just saying not everyone always run in squads of 4. Also I would prefer to have unique enemies rather than having players being able to pop in and kill you.

Hmm. I may have misunderstood your statement. Regardless, trying to throw in PvPE for a PvE ortion of the game is not something I would agree with

I would certainly agree.

Forced PVP... Yeah no thanks, If it were AI controlled tenno specters that looked like players... Maybe.
