[2020] Suggestion for RPG from a Warframe fan

DE, the developer of Warframe, is a (relatively) small studio that’s developed Warframe quite well for ages.

One thing in particular that they do is something I think RPG should embrace: microptimzation.

Warframe generally gets patched every few days, and every patch contains a few microptimzations which are tiny code optimizations that let the game run faster without affecting its appearance.

Since DX11, performance gains have gradually faded away and now the community is divided between better graphics and more optimization.

Well now the RPG has more staff, why not dedicate one or two people to do nothing but performance work and release microptimization patches every week or so?

That leaves plenty of staff to work on content and features, and the increased performance will give more leeway to make the graphics better and add more eye candy.

Sure, Planetside has beautiful vistas in the right situations, but it’s hard to keep gamers from other titles when Planetside both looks old and performs poorly.

Please RPG, consider the idea. It would work out in everyone’s favor in the end.
