Focus System?

[PROzeKToR]

I did not quite understand what is it or when it is going to be...

could someone explain please about focus system???

The idea of it has changed so much, nobody really knows what it will be, and it just keeps getting pushed back, we won't see it for a while- if ever.

well...what it was meant to be at first?

I heard somewhere that DE said it was sorta out of the way now, that the current augment system is much like what the focus system was meant to achieve.

I doubt we will ever see the "complete" focus system. They decided to divide it up into parts (e.g. weapon/warframe augments) that get added in some way or another.

 

I wouldn't be surprised if the main idea of the focus system was completely scrapped by now.

syndicate rep.

 

imagine syndicate rep, being tied to your frame. the extra affinity was going to be used to augment the frame or weapon.

My theory is they've scrapped it, but because people keep asking about it they keep saying that it's still in the works to not lose face.

DE teared apart the Focus system idea they had and implemented its bits all over the place.

Not everything they had in mind for focus got implemented, so they'll probably procceed adding it bits by bits.

And once it has been drained completely, they'll design something new for the actual Focus system, to implement it as a "Focus System".

 

That's what I think I heard in one of the devstreams.

Not 100% sure.

 

 

 

EDIT:

 

Think I found the devstream with the latest Focus System discussion.

Interesting part to note:

 

The Focus System has never been forgotten, but we can understand this question coming up time and again; particularly now that we’re reflecting on what we’ve accomplished at the end of the year. To catch you all up with some of what’s been going on internally, here's a quick point-by-point rundown of where the Focus System stands:

 

· The Focus System was originally created to augment Warframe abilities and prowess, providing substantial rewards for progression.

· Two major recent updates, Ability Mod removal and Augment Mod introduction, were first saved for implementation in the Focus System. When also considering the arrival of Syndicates, our entire current model for the Focus System has been made obsolete.

· We are working on the Focus System as a form of endgame progression. If, at any point, we reach a stage during Focus System development that feels like it has become as solid a concept as Syndicates or Relay Stations, expect to see an Update featuring it.

 

Note: the above doesn't mean every wonderful idea that comes along for the Focus System will be cannibalized for something else. We just want the Focus System to be so much more than a simple 'alternative leveling' experience.

It's an old system that everyone's obsessed with despite the fact it's been cannibalized into so many other systems and pushed back so often that it's all but confirmed cancelled. It's not going to be, despite people's best wishes.
