This event.
This event is awesome. I love it. It's fresh, simple and complex, supports coordination, and finally gives a meaning to stealth. The idea of Wardens gives a true threat and urgency to accuractly and swiftly executing your moves, and staying out of sight (even if you're cheating by Masterracing Adopted Brother/Flour Ninja), the idea of being a ninja really gets fleshed out.
EDIT STARTS HERE.
I eat my words. After thinking about this enough, reading six metric FAQ-tons of comments about "You can go nuts until the ward!", "Just go Loki master-race!", and "Go solo!", as well as one extremely well-thrown comments from a few intellectual individuals, I'm changing my opinion. This event failed. God knows why I thought it didn't, or why I trusted my own judgment, or how much of a Hippo-Crate I look like right now, but I'm going to explain why I (and others) believe this event sucked, in reality.
Let's start with the idea that the whole stealth system is garbages. Absolute, total garbages. Stealth in itself in Warframe has no depth, and literally copy-pasta'ing my comment from a very recent moment...
"If I were to more eloquently put it, for those who favor the Adopted Brother, it would be "becoming untouchable for extended periods of time". After enough people stated it, I came to my senses on what a stupid thing I said in this post (about this actually showing stealth in Warframe). When I think of stealth, I don't think of becoming a literally invisible mass of god-knows-what, but rather a very, very sneaky person. I like to think of the Hitman or Splinter Cell franchise, where you've got real stealth mechanics and takedowns, diversion and trickery. Not... doing what Loki does.
The biggest problem is, there's not much to work with. Throw as Hush puppy at your Soma, or Supress your Marelock, or just tote some serious Hate for your enemies, causing them to Dread you and Despair at your presense. Then walk around crouched 24-7, bring a Lococo/Ashes/Shady and just hide forever. I really came to realize there's absolutely nothing special about this event, and like many others have said, it's only a forced stealth where people go Rambo-Pelican anywho.
Call me weird, hypocritical, and very finicky, because all of those are probably right. Let's just hope that Stealth 2.0, or god forbid Stealth 3.0, kicks in someday to give us a real stealthy thrill."
When I wrote this comment, this was after I changed my mind. Stealth has no deep, important, engaging mechanics involved. Whatsoever. Crouch, pretend nobody can see you, then proceed to shoot everyone with a silent/silenced weapon. Win. No reactions when your nearby friend you were just holding a conversation with gets blown into oblivion by a stray Penta shot. Not a single thing noticed when a Rhino is sitting on a ledge that's only 10 meters above your head, because you need glasses. Nothing. I suppose I was blinded by the effort alone that DE had, which just doesn't buy it for most of the community.
Then comes the actual game-play mechanic of many people. Rambo in, Ramboozle out. Done. Beyond anything else, the ship alarms should give out the Tenno skuuum anyhow, and get our red Bondage Bob killed. I don't see why it doesn't.
So, in my fixed, corrected opinions, I'm going to have to list my problems out with this event.
1) Shallow stealth system.
2) Lack of response from AI
3) Event set too easily
4) Many other complaints I can't even describe and/or would take a whole 'nother blog, which I will write some other day.
With this re-arranged opinion, I'll stand. I bet I'm a gigantic Heepoo-Crayte, but it's whatever.
EDIT ENDS HERE.
Bonus points for hostages shoving Castanas up their butts.
All in all, I don't mind having events like this, and they really challenge me to learn how to control drop-off on my Dread. Har.
Now comes the rant part.
WARFRAME's community, ultimately speaking, CANNOT STEALTH PLAY.
It doesn't work.
I've had kill switches and/or totally botched multiple runs because of some Rhino/Vauban/Trinity/Volt who flies into the prison chambers like a pelican on seventeen kilograms of heroin injected through the eyeballs, immediately fails to kill a Warden, and turns the kill switch on. 3 points lost on my mission already. Half of said demented pelican-frames proceed to try and hack the panel, only to get massacred by 8 lemon-flavored Arc Traps. After we get through that, the hostage either makes it out, or dies a horrible death, complete with a scream that sounds of a MOA giving birth to a healthy litter of Greedy Milk Drones. If we don't absolutely let our red Bondage Bob get violently axed remotely, everyone proceeds to fly out as fast and demented as they flew in, leaving me and the spandex-man to be swarmed by tens of bombards and grunt mooks, and find ourselves bleeding out in a gigantic mess of explosions and mook-sih grunts of totally-legitimate-combat-cries. Then we fail the mission again, because nobody thought of the idea of actually SAVING THE HOSTAGE.
I'm aware that our community is totally used to NEVER PLAYING STEALTH, always going Rambo-Frame up in this joint, running in with a Rhino Prime on steroids and spraying with the Power-creep Prime, and walking away with a job well done. THAT DOESN'T WORK HERE. If you REALLY don't know how to play stealth, LEARN. It's not hard. You sit there, and try to be patient for a few years. Bring a bow, learn to compensate. Don't fire a weapon that's not silent in a situation where you don't want anyone to be alerted. If you really know how to go Rambo-Frame and survive without any causality and/or Wardens alerted, do so. But the biggest problem is, only about 1-in-not-enough people know how to do that.
I'm not the perfect stealthy Bird-Frame around, but at least I make an EFFORT. I wouldn't be nearly as bitter, salty, and/or toxic about this if it weren't the fact that nobody gives a good flying chicken foot in how much of a commotion that they create.
That's the only thing that discourages me from this event.
So, the usual, have some polls. Discuss below on your opinions of the event, how much you loved/hated it, brag about how easy it was for you, complain on how hard it was for you. Cry with me on the topic of the community's clumsiness, or crucify me and burn me to the ground for being a total prick about it. All up to you, my good and fellow Tenno.
