Hacking

[Drifter11]

Hi all,

 

One aspect of Warframe that I'd love to see expanded is hacking (you know, the timed puzzle you have to finish to shut off an alarm) . Not only would I like to see a larger variety of hacking puzzles, but also an increase in significance.

 

For instance, hacking could be used for:

 

-Controlling cameras

-Controlling turrets

-Unlocking red lockers

-Unlocking previously inaccessible areas

-Hacking an individual or group of corpus units, or other drones/machines

-Hacking grineer body parts or weapons to malfunction

-Hacking a piece of machinery in the environment that causes an environmental hazard to enemies

-Discovering and finding a map marker of a secret area

 

There are many possibilities. I'm sure the community could come with many more. I think of games like Deus Ex, Fallout, and Vampire The Masquerades: Bloodlines when it comes to this. In those games, some quick hacking yielded some satisfying, although not game-breaking, results.

 

Getting information and lore were also a part of hacking in those games, which was great, but I can't see that fitting in this game unless some kind of single player aspect were introduced....or maybe that could show up in a way similar to ranking tests.

 

Let me know what you guys think. I think this could be a wonderful addition to an already great game. If we can get some support, maybe the devs will take notice.

Pretty cool. Try to keep this at the top through posting on it when it goes down on the list.

That would be awesome. I recall a game , EYE Divinity(I THink)? did something similar, and the idea was good, but the rest of the game overall was a train wreck.

Pretty cool idea. DE should expend more on little side things like this.

This is something I can get behind.
