Kroul Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 (edited) Important part of the article is the last few paragraphs - The team are currently focused on ironing out bugs with update 9 but update 10 promises a big expansion of dojos – clan-built arenas that can host PvP battles, new enemy types and colony types. “We have this really cool Tatooine, desert-type planet that the Grineer have settled on that we’ll be adding in the near future,” adds Sinclair. The dropping of the beta tag will likely coincide with a major update in the autumn. The mention of dojo expansions prompts a final question – is Digital Extremes tempted to develop Warframe as an eSport? “We definitely are,” says Sinclair. But there is a reluctance to push the idea too hard as the community’s response to new players demanding PvP has generally been to tell them to get the hell out of a PvE game. “We’ve started down that road a little bit. If a clan builds a duelling hall in their dojo they can have 1v1 competitions. Warframe is really fun to watch and we get a lot of eSports people saying ‘You guys got to boost some competition elements because players would love to play Warframe at our event’. So with a bit of reluctance and not as a dominant focus of the game we are going to continue to experiment with that but it’s certainly going to take a backseat to doing more of what’s successful in the game – new enemies, new locations and really servicing our PvE audience.” http://www.pcgamer.com/2013/07/19/warframe/ Im exited about those new enemy types. (New faction to fight against maybe???) Edited July 19, 2013 by Kroul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archistopheles Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 It'd be kinda nice if the design council found out about this kind of news around the same time pcgamer did... You know... Since we know how Steve makes his sausage and all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAYO Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Damn right! Get the hell out of our precious baby pve game. Coop and pve is what makes the core of this game fun. If they persue a esport direction just for the sake of revenue.... I would be so disappointed. Because the moment that happens, the focus WILL HAVE TO be on balancing balancing, whining, raging, bad community, etc. The actual game content will take a backseat and slowdown. Please don't T_T!

Notso Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 (edited) Nice catch. I don't think we'll be seeing a new faction with U10 though... Probably U11. Well, whichever MGU drops the Open Beta tags will bring the new faction I reckon. Edited July 19, 2013 by Notso Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowkinz Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 It won't hurt the game unless they start balancing around it Also gotta remove tue delay to jumping, and rolling after landing from a 3 inch fall haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HAYABU5A Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 esports lol lame would be better to have a different version of the game that excludes modules and balances classes, like a pvp mode where you have different classes to choose etc than to try make the current game crossover as is to a pvp arena Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RejectionOfFate Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Keep in mind... the article did say TEMPTED. It does not necessarily mean that they will be. And yeah... thanks for letting the Design Council know about the article. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SetAbominae Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 B-B-B-But muh pve. Also warframe is not getting to esport status without some... extreme paradigm shift in their practices *coughcoughovernerfingandoverbuffingcoughcough*, so as tempted as he is, I'm doubtful they will pull it off, at all.

cknives Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Just the fact that they are focusing on dojo and pvp makes things look really gloom. Ive been in the dojo about ~10 times and only to buy the the clan weapon BPs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeddyBear Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 If this game becomes pvp focus because of esports i am out of this game. If i wanted a pvp game there are tons of option out there. All most all games nowadays are pvp/shooter. Pve is the one of the reasons i like this game. I hope they dont make me hate one of my favorite games that i spent both money and countless amount of time into. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mak_Gohae Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 I hope that was sarcasm. That's realcasm! I knew the move to PS4 was bad. It was bad because online games for the consoles only means PvP so this is where this game is going to head. DE needs to think differently than that, DE needs to look at what Bungie is doing with Destiny. This game looks to be a massive dynamic PvE experience. This E-sport stuff better be Warframe MOA Racing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SetAbominae Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 No, definitely no need for speed, I do not want to see MOA-tuning and the horrid abominations it spawns.

Hazmatzone Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 To the people all gloom and doom about the PvP aspect, they could easily make it work and not have to go around balancing stuff if they made it so you have only 3 warframes to choose from or if everyone had the same powers. I'm not a big fan of the idea of PvP myself but there are several ways to make PvP in this game work without completely killing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Relkin Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 eSports in Warframe? For the love of god. No. NO! This game isn't formatted for that and shoehorning it in would ruin this game. I saw what eSports have done to PS2 and its community lets not have that here please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
