Should Bungie get rid of the tower?
The tower is nothing more than a giant menu. The process of flying (loading) to and from the tower is tedious and boring. There isn't a single thing you can do in the tower that you can't do in a menu. The tower also adds an unnecessary strain on the server and is often filled preventing us from joining fire teams till they're in orbit.
So why not just get rid of it? Wouldnt it be great if we could use the interior of our ship and if we could interact with all the tower vendors from right there? Imagine if they had a menu and hologram for the different vendors and we could go to our vault right from orbit. Feel free to let me know what you think and if deej thinks its a good idea he can pass it on. If the holodeck is branded darqueax decks I'll understand.

2 RepliesThey should keep the tower. Get rid of going to orbit. When you sign in, you should be at the tower. And the map/orbit menu can be at the tower.
-
I say keep it, but either 1) force everyone to auto-spawn in there when they log in, or 2) allow users to change their preferences to where they can choose to auto-spawn into the tower OR to orbit.
-
its hardly a social environment, no proximity chat, no quick way to identify who is looking to raid.stirke might as well be NPCs that randomly run to different vendors or just stand around for hours

1 ReplyI like the tower for a variety of reasons. But it would be nice to have some on-ship options. If they add shop inventorty to the app (it can't be too different from showing bounties, or my own inventory) that'd be nice.

1 ReplyEdited by Nhails: 11/4/2014 3:45:21 PMsounds familiar.... oh yes, Warframe Tower serves its purpose, without it I wouldn't know my raid team(s).

3 RepliesEdited by RYNESS: 11/3/2014 8:15:48 PMI kind of wish I could have a mini tower in my ship. Like a third person roaming on board my ship where my friends can join and what not. But I also want a computer on my ship that will show me what the vendors are selling at the tower so I don't have to fly there every time just to see what they are selling. Or even an on board vault would be nice.
-
No, I like the tower very much. BUT, give me on-the-fly char changing in the tower... please....I getting tired of: 1) log in 2)fly to tower 3)put something in the vault 4)log out 5)log in 6)fly to the tower 7)retrieve the item to realize you forgot something....

Edited by PMS Jenga: 11/4/2014 3:20:34 PMWell I really like the idea for weapons, but I enjoy going to the tower. We're always needing a sixth for our raid, and we just have dance parties in the tower until someone cool comes and joins us. Or we will dick around and play duck-duck-goose with someone who is AFK. It would be super cool to have storage on your ship, & maybe your three guardians live there so they can trade weapons whenever they feel like it. Because going to the tower to get my vision of confluence is a real pain in the booty.

How stupid is this? the tower is a great area to take a break from the action.
-
7 RepliesNo, I like playable hub areas. Menus can be sterile. I'd rather see them improve the social aspects of the Tower and introduce new content for it, than scrap it altogether. I'm hoping we get apartments or housing eventually.
-
It would be better with proximity chat and things to do that keep everyone out of the menu because every time I go there all the players are either afk at the spawn point or standing still with dots above their head. It has a lot of potential to be a great social hub, and helps to slow down the pace of things. It's also vastly more interesting than sitting in orbit fiddling through menus.
-
I think they should get rid of orbit. I like running around the tower. Going to orbit just creates extra load screens.
-
Pretty stupid to suggest tower be cut before orbit.

3 RepliesEdited by Omegalittlebob: 11/4/2014 2:54:08 PMI really like the tower. I love seeing everyone's different guardians running around. Makes it feel like a real place. But it needs some improvements. -Improve loading times (Easier said than done I imagine) -Put all the Faction vendors near the Vanguard and Crucible stores. I hate having to run to different ends of the tower to compare armor stats - Since the Tower is so clearly inspired by the Citadel, Let us talk to all the major npcs there, Mass Effect style. It would add some nice meat to the story and characters.
-
The tower is pretty much the only environment that resembles community. The last safe city on earth and the safe haven for guardians. I would much rather seek out and speak with a merchant or quest giver than do so via menu.
-
If they plan on improving it then I would keep it. If it is to remain what it is now I would have no issues getting rid of it.
-
Who would want to see vendors and even XUR in a menu??? That's just boring. The tower is labelled social for a reason as well. YOU CAN MERT UP AND MATCH UP for the game there.
-
No, I like the tower
-
Nonono The tower is a great place to meet people. Hell, I met a couple people that went to my school there. Also, it's a great source for last second raid members. They are probably going to expand the tower soon as well. They have closed doors all over the place; who's to say they won't open them up some time? Pushing your friends off the ledge is fun as well.
-
Interior of your ship? Warframe already did it. But seriously the tower is such a waste of time. The only good thing about it is kicking the purple ball over the edge and watching gaurdians jump after it to their deaths.
-
No. The Tower just needs to be louder, angrier and have access to a time machine.
-
1 ReplyWhy not just open up the city and allow these vendors to be available there instead, with the mini games as well. Sparrow races, pike battles/races, interceptor battles...

6 RepliesEdited by waxkid: 11/3/2014 9:00:49 PMi would say get rid of orbit and keep the tower. after each mission go directly to the tower which would cut the orbit loading screen before and after tower visits, thats just me though edit: you cant play soccer with your buds on a nice summery tower day in your ingame menu :P
-
I wish they would expand the tower. There are so many closed doors around but you can't enter any of them!
-
You can't good off and dance in a menu. The tower is a great place to gather your fire team before owning some aliens. I like it and I say keep it.
