  1. If that is truly the reason behind their decision, then their choice of solution is very perplexing since it doesn't solve the problem very well.

     

    As has been stated many times before, migrating the stats to some new invisible customization option would have more cleanly solved the problem.

    How does that not solve the problem? People will have to choice to use whatever helm they want without worrying about crap stats.

    Maybe you didn't read the announcement that [DE]Drew posted clearly or at all...

     

    Just because the majority agree with something, does not mean it is the right course of action. As it has been said many times before, if you truely disagree, go make your own game. btw I'm part of a minority.

  2. Do you have an explanation why making it optional isn't the best option? And what would be better?

    Because it would still mean stats are associated with helms. when they are trying to phase them out of the game.

    Or perhaps having stats on cosmetics isn't part of their vision of the game anymore? It was at the start, but it changed when they started to only release statless helms. Hence they don't want stats to be a part of comestic items but don't want to punish existing players, just like they didn't force a restart on everyone when OB was release, they gave everyone the option to restart and they are giving everyone the option to pick up these helms before they are gone.

     

    Since the game is in beta, what they are going to do is better for the game in the long run, phase them out. Staying with the game should be rewarded and we have by event weapons, event mods, event badges, and now arcane helms.

  3. Why hasn't anyone figured out that DE doesn't want any stats associated with cosmetics? Since maybe it goes against what they believe is good for the game? (Beside the really old Brokk and Manticore skin that may or may not be removed in the future and really who even uses them?)

     

    There have been many suggestion for adding a stats slot to helms long before the topic was posted by [DE]Drew and you know what, DE still decided to go ahead with their plan, it should tell you something. Inb4 they didn't listen to the community. They are not obligated to oblige the community all the time.

    How about you look at it a different way, they looked at it, discussed it, and decided that suggestion doesn't fit in their vision of their game, because that would still mean stats are still associated of cosmetics. (People would just use the good stats anyways, nullifiying the point of the other stat option, then there's balancing issues, and mod dilution, a whole bunch of potential problems)

    One could argue, adding such a slot system would take too much resource and time to implement, who knows.

     

    They started to release statless helms long before this issue. That was and still is the plan, this is just going back and cleaning up the disparity.
    They are phasing them out, by definition : the act of stopping something gradually over a period of time in a planned series of steps or phases. I.e in the long run the amount of people who don't have the Arcane helms will outnumber the ones that do.

  4. So I already have a Frost Aurora Helmet and I decided to build another one in preparation for the upcoming change to helmets. When I go claim my second helmet it shows that I still only have 1 helmet not 2. This also affects the other Arcane and possible non-stat helms too.

     

    Before claiming-see the 1 in the top right corner indicating I have a copy already.

    After claiming-still only shows 1 in the top right corner instead of 2.

  5. Im not sure how I feel about this, since the only helm I ever got was the aura helm on trin for the 25% duration buff. I think there should be something that is put in to replace the helmets. 

     

    (Mostly because I am considering resetting my account come launch due to some reckless spending of plat, and now I better know what to do with mods etc.)

    Yeah... sorry to burst your bubble, but there won't be another reset to the accounts. That's just not going to happen, the game launched when it entered into OB.

     

  6. It's never enough!

     

    The fix would have to be an AI fix, so Corpus will actually destroy them, however it might be more difficult for infested...

  7. I read on the wiki that the Lato Vandal pistol came from the closed beta, and the Braton Vandal rifle was sold for a limited amount of time when the game went into open beta.  Wow, so is that right?  The pistol's the oldest?

     

    On one hand, I hate that I missed the chance to have a matching Braton for my Lato.  On the other, I'm reasonably certain both of those weapons suck, and that I can get away with carrying a useless secondary more easily than I can a useless primary...

    Braton Vandal was sold during Open Beta Weekend during Closed Beta before the real Open beta, so the pistol is not the oldest.
