Shesocold Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 I personally enjoyed the event and found it enjoyable this post will be to give my thoughts on what went well and what I think would've made it better. What went well. - Making it more squad based was great. It gave me a chance to interact more with my clan and really got all of us talking. - The first place reward is great like last time. No reason to change what's not broken. - All the individual prizes were achievable by practically all of the player base. - The emblem is cool and the mods don't give a major advantage. - I enjoyed the stronger Grineer troop added. What I would change - I know you guys are in Beta and I really really really thank you for what you guys do. But next time if it is possible try to get most of the fixes into one update. Constantly having to restart warframe slowed down a lot of my clan's early momentum. - The difficulty for solo players. I know I said how I liked the focus on teamwork but if someone wanted to do this event solo they practically stood no chance of even completing the high level missions. Unless you had powerful gear you couldn't really do this event by yourself. - More individual incentive. I found that the majority of my friends and clan mates didn't go much past 250 points because that was the bar set to get all the rewards. Maybe a vague message such as "Top performing Tenno can expect a special reward." Then for a higher score you would get something that is a variation of what everyone else could get for doing what was "required". Take the emblem for example, everyone gets it for participating but what if for scoring more than X amount of points you could also select a different color version of it. These are just my thoughts about the event. Sorry if it's terrible I haven't slept the past couple of nights and I'm bored tonight so I felt like sharing this.

Take the emblem for example, everyone gets it for participating but what if for scoring more than X amount of points you could also select a different color version of it. Just my thought on these two points. Well, you needed to insert three different corruptors to receive 10 points per run. I don't really think this event should have been done solo to be honest and if you did, in my opinion was a waste of time. Also, it's just a matter of knowing your limitations. The event was similar to a mobile defense mission. Do you do mobile defense missions solo? If no, why would you do this solo? Individual incentive was there. The points to receive all the prizes was kind of high (many of the players I know didn't make much more points than the ones established to receive the prizes because of their personal lives). But the true incentive was to avoid the punishment which would have severe impacts if not prevented. Individual incentive should also be promoted by the clan leader IMO, since there were special rewards for the top clan of each category. My clan promoted individual incentive and we did a good amount of points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TemetNosce Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 To elaborate slightly on the problems with solo, it's not the issue with difficulty I had trouble with. I have both Vauban and Nova. Either one let me solo the mission. However, given that solo players were capped at 3 points per mission and suffered an increase in defense time of multiple hundred percent, it was simply undoable in the time period available. I have no problem with things being easier for team players, but the inability to carry all three types of corruptor simply destroyed any possibility of meaningful solo participation in this event.

Shion963 Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 This. Playing as a two-man team in very high level areas and infini-spawning enemies just wasn't fun to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
