Will Next Event Be Infested-Themed?

[NoeleVeerod]

As the title says.

We've had the Fusion MOAs, the Grineer Informers, and now the Fomorian Ships. I also liked the idea of farming Corruptors through Infested decimations, and that gave me the idea of an Infested-themed event.

What I had in mind would be a massive-scale invasion on all levels, almost all missions would experience a faction switch at some point, and places already under Infestation control would spawn stronger enemies, or greater numbers of it, or something else.

Of course, what would the main objective of such an event be? Maybe design and test a new unit that would act as "spawners", or some sort of catalyst for the Infestation to spread at absurd levels. Think of it, then, as a containment assignment to avoid Infested from harassing the Corpus, the Grineer and - most importantly - the Tenno.

 

There you go, a basic idea for an Infestation-themed event. Now if you have more ideas to contribute, or different ones which may vary from the original suggestion I just made, it'd be cool to hear them. Who knows, maybe the devs will take the idea into consideration for real for the next event, whenever it will come.

i have an idea, bullet proof infested have started to turn up, can only be damage by melee and they are toxic, if tannos cannot get rid of them they will multiply and take over half infested spawn pool.

also if a player has not killed atleast 50 (they will be half the spawn) they will be denied team games for a few weeks, so you actually have to play rather then leech.

"yea i know forcing you to melee enemy that bypass shields with toxic is evil, but just so fun :3"

glaive is still melee u know?:)

only actuall melee attacks, not melee projetiles (can light melee with glaive for the kill hit)

u guys should write scripts for talk shows

 

just my 2 cents

how about a new strand of the infection was found to be highly contagious and the tenno need to go to infested hives (pretty much regular maps with the infection toned up about 500%) and destroy these new infested enemies to try and find a cure or to stop it from spreading

 

edit: oh oh oh or or or

 

 the infested are spreading and thats never a good sign so the tenno are sent to outposts to exterminate them but something seems to be odd about the new infested (idk some kind of mutation like in borderlands, honestly would love to see elemental versions of runners screwing my day up)

 

edit edit: OH OH I GOT ANOTHER ONE

the grineer or the corpus where trying to find a way to control the infested and when it went horribly wrong a new more powerful infested enemy was created and the tenno must stop them at the source before they spread.

 

godamn this S#&$ writes itself

 

edit3: last one i swear

 

the infested have broken into a new part of the sector and have obtained some ancient weapon, with it they would multiply exponentially, stop them and destroy this artifact

 

edit^4 : IM SORRY IM A LIAR this is to much fun

 

the infested are acting strange, their normally erratic and random actions are becoming consistent and almost looks like they are being led by some intelligence, all the data is leading to the infested moving towards this remote world, but there is nothing there of interest to anyone else so go check whats happening tenno (i know DE said no to infested maps and that they would stick with infected corpus/grineer maps but please? :3) find out whats in store for ya at one of the original infested locations

That is a terrible idea.

ANYWAYS! An infested event would be nice. Especially something along the lines of the OP.

Why not follow the pattern? Something that flies! Corpus got Fusion moas (They use to fly), grineer got informers, now infested need some sort of flying acid spitting thing that would piss all of us off trying to get kills on them.

I was thinking of what an infested flyer would look like.  I was goofing around sketching something but not sure where I should post it for feed back.

 

an Infested event that ads a flyer could be fun and challenging.

An Infested hive... that sounds cool. More activity means the Infested will start spreading like a true plague across the space so it would be wise for the Tenno to go and check on they're going to have Infested Warframes sooner or later (ready up your Ether blades should that happen, ok?).

 

By the way, the Infested are a hive-mind species already.

Uh... airborne infested. That reminds me of the giant insects people would have to fight in late PS2 Armored Core installments. Annoying as hell, but that ain't a bad idea at all. Also, that would be a new type of enemy, if we don't count the Ospreys (but just some of them have offensive capabilities, the others are just target practice dummies with collateral effects).

Why don't you post that sketch of yours here? Since this thread is for collecting ideas you might as well share yours, be them drawings or just posts.
