(XBOX)Rancheroni Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 I don't know about you guys, but does a horde mode sound like fun or what? Imagine, it's like exterminate, but the enemies deploy at areas around the map, which lotus could announce, and they spread around looking for the player, every five or so waves, the level and/or number increases. I was thinking today about how to balance it too, perhaps every five or ten rounds you go to a station and unlock one mod slot on your frame/weapons, or even a progression system, like leveling but just to unlock the slots for the mission. and you could even do mini-bosses, there are tons of ways you could make a gamemode like that unique to Warframe.

(PSN)jFresh215 Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 So a PVE version of the old Dark Sector conflicts? That could be fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That could be fun. exactly, and to be honest, the mission types in WF can get repetitive at times, even kinda bland. this would be interesting and would renew some players' interest in the game.

The idea of anything that we could sit and grind enemies away, without having to worry about crap like Life Support, will always get my vote. The trouble would be with balancing, but im sure that could be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or your position on the map determines which faction comes in next. To make it even more customizeable for your goals. That would make One node function as many, where drops and resources are concerned. Maybe when one wave stops, You have a choice of consoles to hack, to open doors or something to let specific factions in. Like you are in the mission at the 20 minute mark, and you can hack Console A to have Infested file in for the next round, Or Console B for Corrupted. Something like that. Course that may just be wanting everything at once. But your idea definitely has merit. Ive been trying to get something like this going for over 2 years now. I jump at any chance to talk about it with intelligent players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maicael Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 It does sound like a lot of fun, and allowing the appearance of multiple factions/mini-bosses for various resource/mod drops would be cool, too. Only thing I see is that mission-wise I can't think of a way to introduce it to the Star Chart where it makes sense. Most of the missions have something about them that makes sense with what you're doing, extracting data, planting false data, creating a distraction, eliminating enemy strike forces....etc. Not sure what kind of mission backstory could be done with this kind of gameplay of unlocking enemy spawn points to let them in to be killed. What comes to mind for me would be like the X-Men Danger Room training sessions. Similar to the Simulacrum, but with ramping difficulty instead of just arbitrarily testing. I'd like to see it put onto the Star Chart though, and not a different form of Simulacrum. Got any suggestions for a mission backstory for it to make sense first though? It's a small thing in relation to what it could add to the game, but I still think it should be considered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only real goal being to survive as long as possible. Maybe tie it into the current idea of Crossfire somehow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That could be pretty cool. Edit: Maybe that could be how DE could bring back the old simple "Raid" mission type. Edit: Don't think consoles ever saw it, so here's a link to what I mean: http://warframe.wikia.com/wiki/Raid Edited November 17, 2015 by Maicael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That could be pretty cool. Maybe you have to solve multi-layer hacking puzzles, and each failure releases higher level enemies, or Eximus units. So that if you made it to the end of a wave, and couldnt take any more, you could use a cipher to get through the layers and extract, but if you could handle more, just intentionally fail. It would give players much more control over the type of content that they wanted to grind on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSpite Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 I can't see how you'd balance this so that it does not just turn into the next farm-cave. This is basically even more "Dungeon Defenders" then we have already, and that is saying something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely. And it would also take strain off other nodes. If you could get drops from all factions, in one place, It would serve as the new best mission type for grinding mob drops and XP/Cores. It would only take One on each planet, and with the new Star Chart layout, it could function amazingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Godovwar1 Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 That is a great idea! They should think up of more missions times not to stagnate the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
