Why did the devs bother programming it so that when you abort a mission you lose all the loot you got.?

[GrimtyGray]

All that does is make it so that a person has to wait to lose a mission when they already know they're gonna lose.

It's like that ♥♥♥♥ in pokemon "You can't run from a trainer battle" when the trainer has pokemon way stronger than yours and you just have to sit there and watch them murder you.

No it's not even like that. You PUNISH people for not wanting to wait to lose. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.
Someone gets a weapon blueprint from an enemy drop but they're in survival and have like 4% life support left? "Eh I'll just abort" "WHERE THE ♥♥♥♥ DID ALL OF MY REWARDS GO"


The lesson to be learned here is ACTUALLY EXPLAIN HOW THE GAME WORKS.

What do you think abort the mission means ? You quit before it was finished, rewards are given when the mission ends.

It's to prevent exactly this. DE doesn't want you to find some kinda farm where you enter mission, find a thing early, then leave. Same reason why you're not shown which boss drop you got until you extract.

Loot is a reward for completing a mission. Aborting means you didn't complete it.

You seem to be mistaken, because if you fail the mission you also lose the rewards. You must complete the mission if you want the rewards. Anyway, given your streak of complaint threads I think this game might not be for you, especially if it's getting you this worked up.

[Nibbie]

Have you tried not failing missions? Seems like that would solve your problems.

With that out of the way, it is to prevent constantly leaving being the ideal way of playing the game. Having most of your team leave the moment they get the drop they want (or don't and want to try again) is bad for the people left behind, who want to play the game the intended way. It also creates less issues with things like host migration if you incentivize sticking to the end. Do you really want to reward failure and abandonment and punish success and loyalty?

[Inner Sight]

I'm pretty sure it's what Zeddy said; discouraging people from aborting rather than extracting.

even at 4% life support there's still time to exit or grab more air. Like you don't instantly fail survival because you ran out of support. You just stop getting new rewards and slowly start losing shields/health due to suffocation - encouraging the squad to move out, but not just destroying them.

[Kawalorn]

Are you being a troll right now? It should be easy to understand the logic of "punishment for failing to complete the mission".

I see many jump to defend the system, but let's not forget that Warframe = Bugframe. The system would make sense only in a world where the game is not so ludicrously bug riddled. Can't count the number of times I lost a reward because we "failed" the mission for no reason other than Bugframe.

In that context, the abort = lose rewards system is indeed a joke & has no business being there. Asked support for help a few times, but the only time they were actually of any use / help with this is when I'd sent a plethora of supporting evidence because I'd seen the bug coming from a mile away & prepared upfront. All other instances, because I did not predict the future / guess that the game would bug out, I got utterly screwed / had my time wasted. They could not care less.

Lose rewards because you legit fail the mission = ok.
Lose rewards because Bugframe decides you "fail" = NOT OK.

Bugger off with that.

Happens to me maybe once every 6 months. I believe you are greatly exaggerating the amount of game-breaking bugs.

[EASY PETE]

Your character just says “ill throw away all the stuff i got down that random cliff because i feel ashamed for aborting”

[Kutsuu Mugen]

Honestly I hear people say BugFrame so much and yet while I agree Warframe has bugs, it is not filled with bugs at all as I play the game perfectly fine with no issues.

The Aborting a Mission means you failed and therefor means no rewards, quite simple so except it and move on.
Now about the game "Automatically aborting/failing" I've never had this via some bug but yes I've had it happen on very very rare occasions but I had a few guesses as to why it was failed so I just deal with it and move on. Sure it's annoying but oh well.

At the end of the day as already mentioned before, if you want rewards then finish/complete the mission otherwise you have no right to complain when you fail a simple mission.

[Joe]

Even if someone leaves the mission, as long as it isn't you, you won't get a mission fail unless the host migration bugs out. But if you leave the mission because you couldn't do objectives properly, well I gotta say, s*cks to be you. But I guess it's lesson learned before doing something that says "ABORT MISSION".

How many games out there that actually reward you for quitting mid mission? Even without explanation, only someone who's ignorant on how most games work would think they get rewards for not doing well. Maybe if you've given it some thought first, you wouldn't get the 4% on survival.

[ArathoriaTTV]

i dont think this guy understands the concept of video games in general. what if in GTAV when you rob the bank and the cops are after you, you could just be like "oh screw losing let me quit the mission expecting to get all the money"

on top of that stupidity. warframe is not at all a hard game, if your running into issues like your describing then i would have to suggest doing some research on the game so you learn what works and what doesnt. the mission type (survival/defence/interception) aswell as the faction you will be fighting during the mission (corpus/infested/grineer) should all be taken into account. there are frames specifically for fighting the different factions, aswell as for each game mode.

bottom line, you are clearly making massive mistakes in the game in general. expecting to get mission rewards by quitting part-way through the mission makes me lose brain cells. get better at the game, or start learning to counter the enemies/mission type you will be doing.

[DLOZanma]

When i go to a store they don't let me out with the stuff if i don't buy it first. That's dumb.

I'm using a 8 year old PC to play Warframe and the only bug I've seen is the black flickering stuff on my screen due to bloom effects or something.

Before you call something 'Bugframe' make sure you're not running the game on a potato.
And before you throw in your 'specs' make sure that all your PC components are working properly first and your drivers are updated.
