TheBrsrkr Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 (edited) No, not if it's a beta or not. That's not the question. Is Warframe as a game completed or not? On the one hand, we do still have that beta tag. A lot of bugs, incomplete storyline, unbalanced game modes and content and frequent fixes (and breaks) weekly. The game can have aspects changed seemingly overnight., and more and more content is added as time goes by. The dev team is also pretty tiny, and we don't have servers (if that matters). On the other hand, we have a fully functional cash shop, kind of expensive Prime Access, and we just released in another country. We have a product line too, with T shirts and statues. You could describe the frequent updates as DLC and not be laughed out of the room, and DE does make quite a lot of money, even though it's F2P. So where does that leave us? Is it complete or still in progress? I say still WIP, but what do you think? Edited August 28, 2015 by TheBrsrkr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeloxale Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 It's far from being finished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adaptor-Face Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 (edited) i call it a completed game with very active development (like TF2 was back in the day) (NOTE: i call it completed, but not finished as it needs more polish, but core gameplay is more or less functional) Edited August 28, 2015 by Adaptor-Face Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgax Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 To be frank i don't consider it Beta (once you charge money in-game for something for me it means you released it regardless of state). i do consider this game to have drastic changes that alter the game (and there is no better term for it to describe this process so it's we call it beta for the sake of argument.)

(PSN)AllOrNothinDays Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Sort of the dangerous thing abut these types of "Betas" is they can get real comfortable in the position they're in, especially when you can purchase things with real money while at the same time they're not being held accountable for things such as addressing the forma (another purchasable item) you use on a weapon that is then nerfed and sometimes made useless. Leaving the resources and or money from a potato or the forma put into it not being reimbursed to you when they dramatically change the weapon into something you wouldn't have infested in. It's possible for the game to never truly be finished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gr33hn Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Its a f2p game, it is as finished as all the others that "launched". New content is the name of the game with f2p. Saying that Warframe isnt "complete" just becuase they have new stuff to add is kind of silly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)azul86sapphire Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 I agree with Adaptor-Face. You could, theoretically, play the game through the first couple missions, and then not worry about anything more than grabbing your favorites (warframe, weapons, mods, etc.). And then you can move on to your next game and be done with Warframe. But instead, this game has a very, very active development team who is constantly providing us with new content that doesn't require us to spend a dime. It's a Free to Play, MMO like DCUO - but far more enteratining and rewarding. And despite being F2P, any money that is put into it provides far more satisfaction than having to say - pay for DLC that you run once and are done with. In my opinion - this is a MMO done right: Free to play, but heavily and frequently supported by it's developers. .... unless you want to think of a "completed" MMO as being dead. No new activity from developers. Nothing new to gain and no reason to keep playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FredyTheGreat Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 As my favorite game critic says. "Once you start charging money for in game content, its released and fair game for trashing." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiabolicalHamSandwich Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 As my favorite game critic says. "Once you start charging money for in game content, its released and fair game for trashing." I want to say Jim...but I can't remember if he said those exact words. Either way think of it as steam does. Call it early access~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AM-Bunny Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 I don't really understand why people fixate on the terms "beta" or "out of beta" or "complete" or "incomplete". They're just words, Warframe is what it is. You seem to have a decent grasp of their update process, so you're aware that it will continue to grow and change in dramatic ways. You can label it however you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damuranashi Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 (edited) Yes man, Warframe is finished, that is why there are constant updates and hotfixes, because there is nothing left to do. Edited August 28, 2015 by Damuranashi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)Joshuaalt Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 It will be finished when we stop throwing our money at DE and that is not going to happen anytime soon...such a great game and even though it can get boring after 1000+ hours...after time you find your way back...I know I did, that is until Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection comes out then Uncharted 4 next year. Warframe will always be one of my top 5 favorite games ever though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vaxillian Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Personally I wouldn't consider Warframe finished until everything is 2.0'ed and up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tesseract7777 Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Warframe is not even close to finished. If nothing else than they are still making a lot of drastic changes. We have a lot still to see about the whole direction/face of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmptyDevil Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Why do these kind of threads pop up fairly often? Why does it matter if it's in beta or not? The game is continually evolving and getting updates. That is all you should really care about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hypernaut1 Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Why do people care so much about the tag anyway? Do they plan on complaining even more if the beta tag is removed or something? Nothing changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fari Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Far from completed, most of all because it's still the MAIN STORY that's still being worked on. If you completely ignore story, sure, it looks like it could be maybe out of beta at least. Maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
