Graphics Options Suggestion: Render Distance

[shut]

Not quite sure which section I should be putting this in, but yeah, title.

 

As you all know, Warframe has pretty high-end graphics for a free PC game, and not everybody has a computer that's able to handle it, so, of course, the playerbase is kinda-sorta small.

I'm sure a lot of us have made suggestions as to what sort of graphics options can be put into the game to make it a little bit accommodating for people who aren't willing/able to afford a higher-end PC, but one thing that I think would be quite helpful (in regards to both GPU and CPU strain) would be creating a simple Render Distance option, kinda like what games such as MineCraft and FireFall have. It might not do much indoors, but it'll help quite a bit the instant your character sets foot on a patch of grass.

 

So, yeah. Thoughts?

Setting FOV and draw distance will help tremendously.

 

But this is a co-op game, if player A has set max draw distance, it is only logical enemies spawn from him at a longer range and start their pew pew. Player B with a weaker computer might get shot before he can even see the target or force to render the load as well.
