  1. Its a pretty crappy limited deal. The ones who get the most out of the pack are the players that don't own any of the items.

    People interested in the targis set alone get left with a crappy option. Don't buy and miss out. Or buy and feel bummed you spend 3 high quality games worth penny on a cosmetic item. DE can put together the packs and price them however they want. I'll just express my opinion and call it a crappy, greedy and overpriced deal.

  2. Eh I think it would start another discussion or silly arguments like "what have you got to hide? Low MR trying to leech? High MR trying to blend in?" idk.

    Everyone into the game knows MR means having many weapons leveled or nodes cleared. Its no indication of skill whatsoever. Maybe a bit of an indicator to what weapons are available. Not that it matters much since you can get tonkor at MR4.

  3. I think I uploaded my clan emblem about 5 times? The emblem example on the upload page isn't very accurate. In game you have a lot of effects so emblems look a lot brighter. Gotta make sure its a bit dull in color if you don't want a bloom explotion.

    I had a problem with my emblem with white lines around it. It didn't show on the upload sample but it showed clearly on the capes in my dojo. I had originally done it in photoshop and saved it as a png format. Since that didn't look good I redid the emblem on illustrator. That helped to create clear sharp lines.

    So yeah make sure your emblem isn't bright and I highly recommend using a vector program to create it like illustrator, not photoshop.

    and if the customer don't like the deals, they can simply not buy it, simple.
    the "ACCESSORIES" are just a sweetener for the old packs.

    even DE didn't force you to buy those Prime Vault Packs, right?
    so what's the problem here?

    smh

    The problem is that the one and only option is severely limited and sucks for veterans. Thats why we're requesting more options. Not buying the packs isn't good on DE's part as well. People have the right to complain.

    Yes exactly, it isn't unfair at all. So I don't see why people are complaining when they have the choice to buy it, it's not like they will miss out on gameplay or mastery.

    But let's be realistic here, why would they change the pricing of one of their packs if they have never done that before? This exact scenario happened on Frost Prime Vault and nothing will change once again.

    This is purely a way to support DE well because it is a FREE game you know.

    *sigh* again with the don't like don't buy commentary. Again thats not helpfull. Again people want to buy the packs but they also want good value for their money. Thats why we are requesting for more and better options.

    Who knows why they haven't made any changes. But there sure as hell wont happen anything if you keep silent. Many people are concerned with this issue. Thats why there's a megathread for it.

    Because its a free to play game its more important that items appeal to the consumers. After all they don't need to buy anything right? Thats why the "dont like dont buy" comment isn't helping anyone. Not for the players and certainly not for DE.

    Well its unreasonable because:

    • The cheapest option to buy targis in the first place was through the nyx accessories pack which came with boosters/cosmetics and was $50

    In the prime vault, for just $10 more, you get a frame, 2 weapons, icons which you only got through the $80 pack, and 1200 plat. If that isn't a deal than I don't know what is.

    • Why would they release targis in a separate pack for less than what it was offered for in the first place, it would just make those players angry? This isn't like buying a car, food, or whatever else people use to compare it to this item (Seen a post comparing buying apples and bananas to targis).

    See how unreasonable it is?

    No its not unreasonable. People that bought the targis set from the prime accessories pack agreed to that price plus they also got a sugatra and 90 day booster for credits and xp. Boosters are never not usefull. I've bought the targis set accesory pack and thought those items were worth the value. They were all items I didnt own and I was sure I'd use all.

    Like I said value is different for every individual. Many veterans already own mag, boar and the dakra plus most likely have spare blueprints. Platinum is much cheaper with coupons plus you can trade for it. The only item they don't own is the targis set. The only item of value for these people is the targis set and the 60 dollar price tag doesn't justify it for them. I don't see how more options can do any harm in this situation.

    Ultimately DE is the one that prices those items and puts the packs together. The consumer can decide whether they are worth it. Pricing in general is always suspectible to change in any situation. Its not unfair at all.

    Yes we can agree that voicing opinions is important. However these separation threads do not make any sense whatsoever.

    • 1000 Plat alone costs $50
    • Prime Acessories comes with boosters and cosmetics for $50

    This prime vault pack includes these $60

    • 1200 Plat
    • Mag Prime
    • Boar Prime
    • Dakra Prime
    • Targis Armor
    • Icons

    Even considering the people who already own the frame and weapon, it is still a deal for them. A lot of the comments I've seen are asking for the set for much cheaper like around $20, and they are still essentially paying for that. See where I'm going with that?

    Value is different for every indivual. The packs value overall is the best for people that don't own any of the items. Many people, especially veterans own most items and their only desire are the accesories. Thats why people are asking for alternative packs or other options. They don't want to spend money on something they don't want or need. I don't see how thats unreasonable.

    Of course they would want profit, it is a business after all, but I'd like to think that there is some kindness there. Why else would they release the targis armor in the pack when it was supposed to be the noru syandana release-date wise? They know a lot of people missed out the best armor setand it's also a great opportunity for them to make profit.

    Yes of course. People requested for the targis set release. I've never seen anyone asking for the noru syandana. So they obviously listened and released the targis set instead. It would obviously sell better than the noru. Thats what happens when people voice their opinions. See where I'm going with that?

    Now this is just putting words in my mouth. 

    We should be grateful that they are re-offering this and people have the nerve to complain about the pricing/contents of it.

    You think DE is re-offering it out of kindness to the playerbase. Or because it brings in profit? I'd bet on the latter. Companies want people to buy their items. To do that you have to appeal to the customer. If the customer doesn't agree with the content they have every right to complain or provide feedback on the matter.

    EXACTLY, then don't buy it, it's as simple as that.

    They are not forcing you to buy it, and it is your choice to stop playing this FREE to play game.

    I will always continue to support this game and DE.

    That is not helpfull at all. So we should just suck up everything DE introduces us and not provide feedback? The "don't like don't play" commentary is rarely usefull. Please stop that.

    For the record the majority of the people here want to support the game and DE. Thats why they are adressing their concerns.

    DE won't be robbed regardless of what prime accessories are priced at.  It's a digital item, DE sets the price on its digital items.  Its the players, like me, who bought these digital items at $60...believing they'd hold their value at $60.  If DE decides to set the price at $20 then well...they just robbed me of $40.  I don't know about you, but I don't like to feel robbed.

    You have a right to feel robbed but the reality is thats not robbing. Robbing would be if DE held a gun at your head and force you to buy their wares they priced. It was your choice to think $60 was worth spending on the pack. You agreed to it.

    Rather than focusing so much on pricing its better if the consumer thinks the item is worth its value at that moment and whether its worth getting.

    I have bought several prime access myself and would in no way feel robbed if they were available cheaper later. Actually I'd be happy if that happened because it would mean DE is listening to their consumers and try to please them. As I mentioned earlier pricing is always suspectible to change. That should be kept in mind with every purchase.

    The total number of parts and bp that are vaulted is 54. Coupled with the fact that most parts don't just drop from one specific key, if the prime vault never existed the loot tables would be very diluted. I mean Volt Primes bp, system, and helmet each drop from two separate keys.

    If that were true then by the deletion of prime parts everytime a new one is released the droptables should even each other out. But it doesn't. With every prime access more duplicates are released and the new ones get put into the fullest most dilluted C rotations. TARINunit9's post pretty much explains this well. And as mentioned there are plenty of places new primes can be put into. Look at the derelicts. Capture, sabotage, exterminate has 0 prime items. Only survival and defence have a few prime items in rotation C. 

    The only reason this tactic is done is because of money. Not that I'm against it since of course devs need to make profit. But yeah thats the way it is and it can be handled a bit better I think. Maybe it'll be better in the next upcoming star chart update.

    You had the exclusive for what, 1-2 years.  If you can afford to throw down that much on just a sydanna, buy the next 1-2 year exclusive.  

     

    I'm not paying that much for a cosmetic, not even $60, and I could afford it.  I'd rather just spend the money on my family.  

     

    I just don't get the whole exclusive crowd.  So what, it's a video game.  I guarantee the majority of the people who see you don't care and if they do, they forget 5 minutes later.  

     

    They are for you to enjoy.  Why do you enjoy it less if someone else has it?

     

     

    To feel like special snowflakes is my guess. Honestly I find it silly too.

    If too many prime stuff are in the loot tables it will cause their percentage chance as a reward to drop; making it harder to get the part players want, especially the rare ones. 

    Correction. Too many prime stuff in rotation C loot tables. All others are pretty much empty or full of crap.
