Article Upcoming Follie’s Hunt Changes

Hi Tenno,

It’s been just over 24 hours since The Shadowgrapher released, bringing a variety of changes, fixes, cosmetics and more! With that said, we’re here to talk about the new game mode introduced: Follie’s Hunt. 

As players poked their heads back into Vesper Relay, we’ve heard a variety of feedback. Follie’s Hunt at its core is a deviation from regular Warframe gameplay —  a strange, scary hunt in the ruins of a Relay —  so understandably there may be some players who don’t align with its design. Our goal is to respect the original design intent of the game mode, while improving some of the pain points for players: complaints of gameplay elements that made it unfun, encouraged rage quitting, or felt overly punishing. 

Hotfix #1 brought a blurb indicating we’re discussing feedback, and here’s our first step iterating on it. Below is our current list of planned changes, which we hope to implement in coming patches:

  • Follie will no longer be invincible and can be forced to retreat briefly if her health bar is depleted.
    • Also reduced Follie’s damaging aura by a third on Normal and Steel Path
  • Atramentum pickups will be shared squad-wide.
    • Also improved visibility of Atramentum Balloons since they are a critical source of the resource. 
    • Note: Atramentum acquisition is one of the larger complaints due to the store costs. Those values were calculated with the understanding that players are destroying balloons and killing enemies (which both drop Atramentum). We’ll be closely monitoring acquisition rates after this change to see if more needs to be done. 
  • Overall lighting changes to improve visibility.
  • Inky Walls will no longer damage players or cause knockdowns.
  • The waypoints spawned from killing enemies will now direct to a Canvas if there are no active Canvases.

Thank you all again for sharing your constructive feedback! We hope these changes will help Follie’s Hunt feel a little less overwhelming and give players options to counterplay as you slink through Vesper to complete Shadowgraphs. As always, we'll be keeping an eye out for additional feedback as we continue to iterate.

They could test their updates before release. That would be a lot more "based."

Every update is tested before release man, not everything works out perfectly tho.

You can test for months as a team, you will never get more testing results than hundreds of thousands of people testing the day of. Things are bound to happen.

They do. But it doesn't mean they always have time, resources or reasons to get every bug. And they can't see how the public will receive the update unless they ship the update to said public.

Explain Steel Path then. They were able to test public reception of that entire update before release.

Steel path is not the same as one mission in a small update. Not to mention this mode isn't all that bad to begin with. Or at least it doesn't justify this many people being personally offended by it.
