Let's wait 12-24-72h...

[Omenpapa]

I'm trying to understand the reason behind the "lets wait 12-24-72h" till my thingie completes in the foundry. The obvious reason would be that they want us to spend money on plat and rush it.

I never thought about myself as a cheapass, but noway in hell I'm going to spend money to "rush" something in a game. For me it feels like "hm, okay so my forma needs 24h to complete.. then lets play something else."

I dont mind spending money on cosmetics, in WF I did buy color patterns too.

My question is.. Have u ever actually spent IRL money just to reduce the crafting time after u farmed out the materials/bps?

I did it once, but I think you shouldn't waste platinum on that.

I once went on a spending spree when I was gifted the highest amount of platinum from a friend. I instantly got warframe slots then proceeded to skip the waiting times on like 5 warframes in the foundry. Was worth.

3 days is nothing

I have got about 7 Formas after 2 days of farming in T2 survival. Now it takes 7 days to build each one :/

Played other F2P games with a similar model. Have never paid any of them a single penny for something like that. You're not a cheapass, you just know the value of money and what is worth spending it on. Something like speeding up build times once is not worth anything.

i dunno maybe when youre new this might be a bad thing. Youll end up with so many things being built that it all kinda blends together...and it doesnt matter...

rushing builds is really only used for clan dojos tbh, and usually then its donated plat.

rushing builds are clearly aimed right at the instant gratification generation of kids/young adults though....there isnt anything in this game that you need immediately..3 days for a frame is nothing tbh, 12hrs for a weapon....start your crafts at night before bed...again nothing time wise...

forma and other rare components are hardly used, and when you do use them youll want to make sure you dont waste it (like formaing a weapon that doesnt need it). Like the kid whos upset building 7 formas will take a week total...wtf are you going to use that 7 forma for? waste it on a weapon that doesnt need it?

It's a bait, that said, given how many warframes and weapons are in the game, waiting 12/24/72 hrs for something is really not that much of a problem, unlike those "cow-clickers", Warframe doesn't stop you from playing while you "wait", that's the thing.

And since as far as i know you don't have a limit as to how many different gears you can craft in the Foundry, what i do is i build any weapons/warframes/formas/keys that i know i will use eventually, and i leave them in the Foundry until i need them, at this point i have 4 warframes ready to be collected and 3 weapons, by the time i lvl those, i can simply craft more, this way i don't actually "wait".

Again, while you build stuff, the game doesn't stop you from playing so really it's just a case of having a minimum of patience, it's really not that bad when you plan ahead...

As for the formas thing, since you can only use one per weapons/warframes per 30 lvl, you don't actually need say 7 formas at once, they will just be sitting there doing nothing while you lvl your stuff... I have 5 built formas sitting in my inventory...

I've spent so much money on this game to the point where i think maybe a drug addiction pales in comparison.
To answer your question, Yes, i have rushed alot of things, mainly because i have obtained every weapon and frame of interest (to me), and i tend to rush the new stuff because i want to have it while im still online and have time to rank it up, but i will not rush a rifle, if i already have an unranked rifle to play with, or find it necessary to forma something.
That said, i think that the craft time is stupid, its ONLY purpose is to bother the ♥♥♥♥ out of you, the hard part is tumbling around the rng to get the parts for whatever it is you want to craft, and after 5 days straight farming(add to that the time it takes to acquire keys), they are gonna ask you to wait another 12+ hours for no reason than another shot at grabbing some plat?
I think its shallow, and i hope to see it gone. Getting certain items and parts is har...i mean... TIME CONSUMING enough, as it is.

[Chicory]

if you have tons of platinum, and i mean tons, Go ahead pay to rush your item. If you have about 75 platinum, don't waste it on rushing at all.

[Raiden_chino]

For me the waiting is part of the game, like the login prize or when you develop a skill in EVE Online. You know next day there is going to be something new : P

[TyresTyco]

i did it once for my vauban xD i had to rush him ^^ well.. my opinion is.. just be patient. Dont craft just 1 thing... craft more. I always have something to do just because i have tons of lvl 1 weapons xD

[Basser]

I've played about a thousand hours on this, and have pretty much 2 weapons left to build and I've never spent any plat to rush anything. Since the moment I finished leveling a weapon I knew I wa sgoing to sold I had several more being built and some ready to claim.

And still now, after getting all the parts for a weapon or after see it completed in the foundry I get this "F*CK YEAH" thing when that happens.

Sounds like they've got you. You lack discipline!

How will the system that you think is shallow ever go away if you continue to make it a success through your impatience?

I am hoping that others who dont, will also voice how stupid the system is. but apparently its all cool, and people see it as "part of the game". yeah, the fun of waiting for no reason, as youve already got the materials needed for whatever it is you want to craft.
Its not that i am unable to wait, its that i prefer having the weapon when i know that i have the time to play, a weapon thats finished when im sleeping or unable to play for 4 days is no good.
Again, i might come across as impatient, but 50 plat is barely a bar of snickers where i live, and i would probably have spent it on crap anyways, and thats passing 2 days of crafting time mind you.
Lastly, i think that most will agree that the nature of rewards in this can be frustrating enough in and of itself.
Getting items is not difficult, in any way. its only time consuming because 9.5 out of 10 times the voids will tease you with the same reward over and over, or another key to keep your hopes up, OR alternatively, credits, when you already have more than youll ever be able to spend. even if i somehow got rid of half of the credits i currently have, id never be able to spend the rest.
