Jamescell Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Just wondering if somebody has taken the time to compare how much affinity weapons/frames reward, the rate of change of the affinity bar per rank, and/or the average amount of new affinity DE creates by way of new content in a year in order to approximate how many weapons/frames need to be released or how long it will take for players to reach MR30.

NativeKiller Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Someone definitely has done so, since I remember seeing the calculations. :3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

egregiousRac Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 (edited) MR30 requires 2,250,000 MRXP. I think we are currently at 1,371,246 available to Founders (wiki says 1,368,246 as of 19.5, one weapon released since then). That means we are 878,754 short of MR 30. That is 146.5 frames, 292.9 weapons, or a mix thereof. Edited January 26, 2017 by egregiousRac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not questioning your math, but those numbers sound absurd, even mixed, i cant imagine 70 more warframes, even if we consider some of them will be primes of currently existing frames.

(PSN)SageHeed Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 There could be other sources of Mastery as well, yet to be implemented. But 3 years doesn't sound fy shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need just under 900,000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since they seems to having plan for the cyst (At least I hope it was not just for the Charger) it may create some other kind of breed :P Edited January 26, 2017 by Simonb53 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not questioning the math, im questioning how unrealistic sounds 100 Warframes, thats enough to make a prime for every frame that currently has none, and then some more new ones. Apply the same for every other thing, 20 new archwings, or kubrows, or whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have kept innovating and evolving this entire time. Another three and a half years of similar game growth doesn't seem insane to me. I would like to see them slow down and put a lot of polish into the more lacking stuff though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesus how the hell are we going to get 70 loadout slots for each frame... I'm the kind that hates changing equipment for each frame so i choose the most suitable weapons for a frame and nickname the loadout (Silver Raven, Shocking!, Dis gurl is on fire, etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AandOE Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 We can guess at least 2 more kavats, 3 more cyst monsters, 1 more sentinel (we've already seen it), 1 more 'frame (we've already seen it), 2 more Archwings, 4 more Archwing weapons, and 4 sets of Prime Access a year. That's what, 12k + 18k + 6k + 6k + 12k + 12k + (24k + 4x[whatever]) = 90k + 4x[whatever]. That alone would be about a year's worth of work. Can Minki keep up? They'll have to switch to something else for MR generating points soon, lest we end up with hundreds and hundreds of absolutely everything. I can see it now... Lato, Grineer Lato, Corpus Lato, 6x Syndicate Lato, Simaris Lato, Lato Prime, all Ak-variants of Lato, Archwing Lato, Sentinel Lato, Helminth Lato, Kavat Lato, Kubrow Lato, Umbra Lato, Lumina Lato, Mara Lato, Dex Lato, Sentient Lato, have-I-won-the-Lotto Lato, ad infinitum for every other current everything. When someone on trade chat goes, "What am I supposed to do to get a Lato," they'll be brought into an existentialist conversation on the many different kinds of Lato.

Sziklamester Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 For the mr 30 they just need to change the gaining of XP and let us get XP after maxed the arsenal like say 10% of the total of your maxed gear so you can farm XP with your maxed frame too. This number won't encourage people who maxed their frames to stick with one but add a chance to get XP after maxed. It is sounds more viable than they release 150 frame when they can max release 5-8 per year if they have idea and time to work on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilvaDreams Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Well we get Mastery XP from more than just frames and weapons. Unlocking nodes by finishing them awards XP so you can't rely purely on weapons and frames. As our universe expands we get more nodes and thus XP.

We currently have 31 base warframes and are 61% of the way to MR30 levels of mastery, so we only need around another 20 frames at that rate.
