Reavermyst Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 (edited) Ok, so this is more of a knit pick but it's something that has been grating on me as i run missions. Every minute Lotus chimes in to remind me of what the mission objective is and it's more annoying than it is useful. I only need to be told once, I won't forget it that easily! So moral of the story, sometimes less is more! Please consider tweaking her dialogue rate in a future update!

PsychedelicSnake Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 B-but... she's my one and only companion QQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reavermyst Posted July 30, 2013 Author Share Posted July 30, 2013 (edited) not saying get rid of her completely, just lower the rate at which she reminds you of your mission xD or better yet, give us an option to lower the rate.

Nuadha Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 The reason she speaks to you so much is for user immersion. The Lotus does not assume you've rant the same mission perhaps hundreds of times, but as you as an operative who has one objective (perhaps later two objectives) and it's her role to guide you through this. In addition, one thing that you might consider often may not be like that for other people. Maybe if a ton of people agree with you and share your ideas, perhaps it would be something to consider. But, I've played since CB, and it's really not that bad at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drakofangs Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 (edited) The Lotus does not assume you've ran the same mission perhaps hundreds of times OP meant Lotus talks too much in a single mission. Nobody needs to be reminded of what the objective is every minute. Edited July 30, 2013 by Drakofangs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuadha Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 OP meant Lotus talks too much in a single mission. I'm aware of what the OP meant, Drakofangs. My comment still stands, though. The Lotus tells you when there's another group of enemies coming, whether there's a heavy (if it's not common for them to appear), with a lockdown initiated and when it's been successfully hacked, when you've been spotted and, say, 5-6 times during the time it takes for you to reach the objective, along with a description of what you should do once you're at the objective, and once the objective is complete. Also, once you're extracting. Personally, it doesn't seem like much to me. And I assume it's just put in place for all missions, because they only really vary according the enemy level.

To simplify it for you since you don't understand, I'm simply stating the Lotus doesn't really need a tweak in her dialogue rate.

I did understand. What you didn't understand is the OP doesn't want the dialogue rate to change completely, he just wants Lotus to stop reminding him about the stupid mission objective every 10 seconds!

PopTartZombie Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 the increase of comms makes me feel less alone when i solo, and i solo 90% of the time. so.... yea. It feels like a real mission when shes constantly chattin me up with updates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paradoxbomb Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 I'm just curious why they recorded more lines in her "normal" voice. I assumed they were just gonna re-release all her new dialouge at once with the new sound effects sometime down the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XDeathCoreX Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 What makes little sense is the inconsistency of the dialog and how she says things too early like finding another terminal before reaching the first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rksk16it Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 I would like an option to completely turn off lotus. She gets annoying for me often. If there is a large group of enemies comming I will handle it, if there is a heavy or two comming I can handle that too. If there is a lockdown I will know it cuz of green box on minimap. If there is an objective change, well there is nothing to do there but follow the "!". the increase of comms makes me feel less alone when i solo, and i solo 90% of the time. so.... yea. It feels like a real mission when shes constantly chattin me up with updates. Maybe for you, but its not same for everyone, and hence I'd like an option. When I am solo I am either : 1. Rushing like a psyco on steroids... 2. Opening every tin can I find to get resources (or mods in tower). Really, I dont need her to tell me anything at all, I'd like some silence (besides my gunshots). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S3raph Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 This weekend's missions were especially painful... Went to sleep and kept hearing that the Alpha/Beta combo is more effective, but a single Tenno can't equip them at once Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
