DE, its time to talk about Ephemera and Quit Farming

Posted: 04 Jan 2020 09:26 PM PST

From Warframe DevStream Ep. 123:

New cosmetics are coming: Ephemera! These will be acquired by Tenno able to complete specific challenges and will offer fancy effects on your Warframe, like smoke on your body, or fancy foot trails.

DE, its time to fix ephemera. Its time to fix RNG-walled content. Its time to stop.

The Intent

They say the road to hell is paved with good intentions. In this case, nothing could be further from the truth. You want us to play longer and stop complaining about the lack of content. I agree, its frustrating to see other players with comparable play times to mine or more (exceeding 5000 hours) turn around and say "there's nothing to do in Warframe, I'm bored, etc." After 5000 hours, if you got that much entertainment from a free to play, you got all the bang for your 10 point buck you were ever gonna get out of it.

The Issue

So what has this lead to? RNG walled content with ridiculous resource costs such as the almighty GUNZ AND SHIP REACTORS WITH RANDOM STATS. This is to artificially lengthen gameplay times for players in order to make it seem like there is more to do than there really is. What's the difference between being able to directly farm something and being able to directly farm random garbage until a gem pops out? ANSWER: 4 HOURS!!! What makes it even worse is that the RNG stats for Wreckage are different between players who got it in the same mission together. So I can get a total god roll on my reactor or gun and my friend who did the mission with me may get the worst thing to ever exist. Trust me when I say, being rewarded different for doing the same exact task. Its frustrating and annoying and makes players quit outright.

Cue: WTB [Primed Disappointment]

Then, we have Ephemera. Originally, Ephemera were supposed to be a cosmetic that shows off the pinnacle of achievement for players. Similar to Auras in Destiny, Ephemera were touted to be something only the dedicated would be able to obtain by putting in the work towards a direct and focused grind or achievement. When players first heard of this, we thought it meant "Kill X number of enemies" with X being obscenely high or "Complete 'such and such' mission within 2 minutes" or "Reach Wave 100 in Interception on Mithra" or "Obtain 999,999,999 Credits". You know, goals that have a specific goal in mind that show you did something outstanding or extraordinary or something that took time and dedication.

The Result

Instead, we got:

"Join X mission, look for crimson balls, abort mission if not there, rinse, repeat."

"Kill Exploiter Orb until you are lucky enough to get what you want, maybe. Idk."

"Ayy lmao, just buy a Kuva Lich with one! Ha gottem!"

These could have been more easily been made to be "Cleanse the Veil of Sentient Ships 100 Times" and "Defeat Exploiter Orb without using abilities or operator mode". Or something. Anything. But the current system is leading to players using Quit Farming methods, which is both toxic for the player-base that wants to actually, ya know, complete the content? while simultaneously hurting the game's reputation in one fell swoop. To say that its off-putting to put in over 5 hours worth of work and have nothing to show for it, especially when that was all the game time I had for the night is being really nice about it.

The Solution

Stop using RNG as an excuse at every turn. Remove it entirely from ship components. It doesn't have a place in Warframe at all. I don't make a Braton Prime or Ash Prime and expect it to have worse stats than my friend's, it should be the exact same thing for ship components and weapons. Ignore people who complain about content drought 2 days after a major update when they have more hours in Warframe than the real world. I love veterans and am one, but its not helping the game or the players. Lastly, make Ephemeras actual rewards for hard work not glorified badges of luck. If you want to keep them as random 2% drops, that's fine, but add alternative achievement based ways to get them as well. Players will play day and night to reach those goals if they are fair and doable. What players won't do is put in 5+ hours of work for no guarantee to a pay off. An achievement with a progress bar is tangible, a 2% drop rate chance is not.

For the love of Christ riding a unicycle, DE. GIVE US INVINCIBILITY PERIODS WHEN EXITING THE RAILJACK.

I have burned countless fucking revives trying to board crewships without using the slingshot, because you can get instantly fucking gibbed by a ship in veil that just looks at you funny. Even if you're in Amesha, you usually don't have enough time to press 1 to give yourself invincibility. I know DE has some concept of I-Frames, so why the FUCK do we not have them when exiting the fucking railjack?
