Build Time

[Redeminem]

As i've been playing the game and noticing some of the weapons and warframe and even rooms to add to your Dojo, the build times just seem really unreasonable to me. I don't know if this is just a way to earn money from people buying platinum to speed things up or what. But after I put in all that work to build an item i'm rewarded with waiting hours.. sometimes even days. A lot of the players agree with me on this.

Oh what a way to spend a first post.

[Depar]

sure they do, but when you throw a bit metal on a table its not gonna magicaly build itself together to a wep :3

[Feyreheart]

The point of build times is to not get everything instantly. if there was no build times, people would get bored too fast.

DE needs money to make the game better and I totally support what they are doing and I appreciate this more than having the DE to make some Weapons/warframe Platinum only. Btw thanks DE.

And have some patience.

If you all hate waiting, Support the game you enjoy. $10-20 should be enough to rush a few things, and WF is arguably triple-A quality ($60 one off / $10-20 per month).

Why are people so impatient?

I built 8 Warframes, 13 primaries, 7 Secondaries and 10 melee weapons.

I don't care about the build time.

The longer you wait for something, the better it gets if you use it.

Learn to have patience, mate.

Patience, you must learn. I have built every frame, misc, and almost every weapon in the game without rushing. Like someone said, it's to keep the game getting too boring cuz you have everything instantly. 

[Redeminem]

But you have to work for all the materials. And have you seen the market? Pretty sure these guys make a good living. I understand where you're coming from but come on.. 3 days for a warframe? Kinda takes your interest out the game.

I have to agree the wait time is annoying and time consuming. To be realistic in this advanced time in the future it would not take long to construct weapons and armor. And becoming bored quickly? I get bored waiting for construction. They have plenty ways of making money, but profiting off of impatience is #*($%%@ up.

A wait can make you appreciate the Frame or weapon more.

Not really.

 

Be immature, spend money, have your weapon ASAP.

Be patient, wait half a day or 3 days, save your money, and have your new weapon/ frame.

 

Easy as that.

We can see which route you took ^

I would dare to say that most people wait for their frames in the foundry. Personally I feel that waiting for the frame or weapon to build adds a sense of weight and satisfaction. Getting something instantly by rushing it isn't nearly as gratifying.

[Trice-]

I can see how the build time could be frustrating, waiting for that one item you want to use to complete. What I have been doing is building like crazy, even if there items and frames I dont plan on using until I have maxed my current ones. This way I always have a new weapon or frame ready for when I want to mix things up a bit :)

 

If you have limited slots you can just leave them completed in the foundry until your ready.

Don't you ever get bored or tired of Warframe? If so, the build time allows you to do something else while waiting. In any case, you're not disabled from playing until you build these items. Just do something else. Recuperate the material loss from crafting said items. Farm for Void Keys. Look for some other interesting weapons. Do whatever.

 

Just wait. It's satisfying to wake up to a bunch of new weapons and items, and there's more enjoyment out of knowing your items took time to be made.

[xGryphus]

Patience is the virtue of the wise. Build times seems rather reasonable and add immense to the game. After all how long would it take to make highly advanced weapon or out of salvage, even with autofactory at disposal? What about vastly superior, complex exo-armor? Or a whole room? Try at least that last one in real life - then we'll talk.
Time is also a currency - if you have more money then time you can rush things or yet better buy pre-manufactured item from market. Otherwise patience is your only refuge.

This is a video game. Don't hit me with the patience is a virtue. I play this for fun, not to make it my job.

This is a Studio-only game. It has no giant financial backers. You want it right now? Support the game by buying some plat.

[iamLoveless]

I find it amazing that people just let silly little things like 12 hours build times slide because it's a Free to Play. Look people, Free to Play games on average make far more money than Pay to Play games or one off $60-$50 games. 

 

Why is this? Because the inconvenience is perpetual. No matter how much money you drop on this game, weapons will always take half a day to a day to build. There will always be another weapon that you have to pay to buy slots for, there will always be another frame you just CAN'T seem to get that last part for.

 

So players will unwittingly end up spending hundreds of dollars on a game that shouldn't be anywhere near that price. The thing about Pay to Play, however, is that it is dying. Put simply, most people don't want to rent out a game for $20 a month. They want to buy the game and play it, or play it for free and pay as it suits them. 

 

So really, stupid little things like massive wait times is unnecessary. They will make way more money than a P2P or a one off, and they will still have tons of ways to get players to purchase things.

 

 

 

Okay, time to see what silly responses people come up with.
