It doesn't really matter if they are idiots, my concern is that DE support will at best need to spend time checking false reports and at worst will end up restricted an innocent user, but okay, feel free to ignore that concern, hopefully it just wont be a problem. I still think the promo page for the Initiate Bundle would be better if it mentioned that some of the weapons come with Forma, and the Sobek being completely missing from the other page should really be fixed.

On Reddit I saw this: https://www.reddit.com/r/Warframe/comments/1azblo6/can_anyone_tell_me_what_this_symbol_means_new/ discussion in which a new player was confused by the 5 Forma symbol on their Sobek. Some people explained that it's how much Forma has been added to the weapon, which led to follow up questions like "What's Forma?", "What does Forma do?", "How do I get Forma?". I, and others, questioned how someone who doesn't know what Forma is, does or how to get more of it had managed to put 5 Forma on a Sobek and began to suspect account selling. Then someone mentioned that there's a new pack that includes max ranked gear, some of which has Forma, so I went lookling and found what I guess is the pack in question, https://www.warframe.com/initiate-pack, but I don't see any mention there of Forma being included, and the Initiate Pack on https://www.warframe.com/buyplatinum doesn't even mention that there's a Sobek! I reckon this is going to lead to a few people getting wrongfully reported for using someone else's account when they actually just innocently bought a pack that dumps them into the unknown without explanation of their conspiciously advanced gear. They'll look for help from the community and be met with "How did you do that without knowing? Did you buy this account?"

What thing doesn't apply, and why doesn't it? Don't just assert your position, back it up with something.

Oh, so you aren't following this thread? I assumed you were since you chimed in without having been quoted earlier. My bad. Wasn't trying to avoid anything. Bit weird to be claiming I have 'sycophants' though. The post has two likes and no further comments based on it, not like I'm going viral or anything here. Terms of Use Agreement defines "you," "your," "user," & "users" as "all customers, visitors, users of the Website and Game and its respective and related pages" so everything in the EULA that says "you" or "user" also applies to customers, which generally means anyone who buys goods or services from a business. I have bought both physical goods and virtual services from DE so I am both a customer and a user. It's not your job to explain the EULA, but if you make a claim about it then you have the burden of proof if you expect anyone to actually believe you. For example if I say DE have the right to make a change to any virtual item and we as users have agreed not to bring any claim against them then I would back that point up by referring to Virtual Goods and Game Currency section c where it says: In particular (B)(II), adjustments to the game that result in the value of virtual goods or game currency changing, which I would think covers any suggestion that the exclusive status of Heirloom skins has a perceived value that would be lost if they were no longer exclusive. Now, this section does apply "except as otherwise prohibited by applicable law" so there may be jurisdictions in which this part of the agreement wouldn't apply to exclusive items that lost their exclusive status, but the burden of proof would lie with the person making that claim and it is not on me to try to prove that DE can't do that as it isn't my claim. If it was in my power to make him available, I would.

I'm hardly throwing myself on my sword. I'm making posts in my spare time after getting an alert that there was activity while watching Youtube in another tab and playing Warframe in another window. And what does it matter if it's about Platinum? Can't it be about that and also be about disliking FOMO? DE is a business and they make money off Platinum sales. I'm a customer giving feedback about why I've stopped buying Platinum on a regular basis, I stopped so I could save up for this bundle and I haven't started again because I have no idea what they plan to do next time around. I notice though that my questions were avoided. What was meant by "everything you're trying to discuss is already covered by the term End User, so you're not even discussing the correct thing" and when do you think is the appropriate time to give feedback?

How does the term 'End User' already cover this in a manner that means we aren't discussing the correct thing? General spit-balling to remind DE that people still aren't happy while they think about what to do next time? When would you like us to discuss it? Apparently there was no point discussing it when it was leaked before Tennocon because it wasn't final and we should wait until it was actually released, but then when it was released there was no point in us trying to convince them to change anything because it was in writing that it was a limited time exclusive and they couldn't change that term of sale once it was on sale. If not now, then when should we be telling DE that we don't want limited time exclusive skins at premium prices that devalue the Platinum we've already bought?

From what direction I've seen EU law going in, they are more likely to get in trouble for creating artificial scarcity than for going back on a small part of a bundle's description. Even that's not going to happen any time soon though as the behaviour of came companies is not exactly a big priority for law makers.

As someone who owns the Heirloom collection, I say bring it back and never make this mistake again. (And yes, as a Founder I hold the same opinion on that too.)

One of the 4 Passcodes for the secret stash challenge was in a location that is at least difficult if not impossible to collect (I gave up on trying to position myself in a way to get teh context action to pop-up). It was in the large room with the tethers that need blown up to release the ship.

Please either drop the 120 minutes time down a few minutes or let the stream run late for a bit. Delayed notifications and adverts can lead to people missing out when the time required is the exact length of the stream.

Pretty sure it wasn't counting Anatomizers last time I tried that challenge. Has that been fixed?

Void Traces would be great, in my opinion.

Some items could be locked behind completion of 2-5 schools, other items could help with that task e.g. access to Lenses or simply spending Focus from one school on Focus for another at some kind of conversion rate.

Nope, disabled that as soon as I could. Even with it on I don't see why there would be a wobbly camera while standing still talking to an NPC with no action going on.

I'm noticing it again while interacting with the Jahu Gargoyle in the current event but I've noticed it in the past while interacting with vendors in Fortuna etc. When I'm I'm standing still next to the NPC my camera will sit still as long as I don't move, as soon as I interact and enter the menu for that NPC the camera will wobble around like crazy. Why does this need to happen? It's distracting at best and nauseating at worst. Please let me disable it.

I don't actually want them to do more Heirloom Skins. After this I feel like the title 'Heirloom' has been tainted and, to be honest, I don't see what the skins do that couldn't fit into the Deluxe Skin title. I would would much rather see more Deluxe Skins available for Platinum than more Heirloom Skins for cash. I was in a habit of buying Platinum every time a log in reward gave me a discount because I figured it was a small amount to pay to a game that gives me so much entertainment over time, but by now I have a stash of Platinum that isn't getting spent so I've stopped and started keeping tally of what I would have spent. If I pass on enough discounts then I'll buy the Heirloom pack, but if that is to be a regular thing then I'll need to keep doing that, not spending the money I used to and instead setting it aside in case a good Heirloom turns up. DE will have lost the regular payments they got from me by not having enough stuff to spend Platinum on and instead introducing stuff that Platinum can't be used for, thus devaluing Platinum. They could have added the Heirloom Skins and associated other cosmetics for high amounts of Platinum and I would have bought them, but I don't want to have to pay more cash when I've already been paying cash in for a premium currency that was supposed to have purchasing power for cosmetics in the future. PS: Can anyone tell me if the Mag skin has clipping issues around the base of the spine because it looks like it does in teh previews but maybe it's fine with different animations. Aside from everything above I'm also in two minds about buying another Mag skin when the Mag deluxe has had a bugged out hand for years, so maybe I just shouldn't buy it at all if it's going to be another broken skin that won't ever get fixed.

Oooh! I wonder if this change will also fix the issue people have reported about not being able to recover Acts that have repeated? e.g. if 'Complete 3 Captures' was skipped one week and would be recovered in a week that also had a 'Complete 3 Captures' Act then it doesn't get recovered and the player's progress through the back-log is halted. That sounds like it could be quite a problem for 3 Acts that are repeated every week.

I think the point is that this pop-up will, for some, be met with "Thanks for the reminder, I'll buy something else instead." This doesn't directly devalue Tennogen, as previous cost analysis never had to consider the matter of cross-save, but it indirectly devalues Tennogen as every other cosmetic purchase will be gaining the new feature of cross-platform use. It was never a concern before but now Deluxe skins, Voidshell skins, Heirloom skins, Immortal skins, all have an edge over Tennogen skins that may encourage some players to opt to buy and use those skins instead, because they don't require being purchased twice to have your 'look' be cross-platform.

The fact that this only applies to Tennogen and doesn't apply to any other cosmetic purchase (neither Platinum deluxe skins nor real money Heirloom skins) makes me think it has to be something unique to Tennogen. As you say, letting PC purchases be shared cross platform would make it the best place for the consumer to buy it, if they are happy with paying cash instead of Pt, which would increase the artists' revenue as they'd get more of those 30%s instead of just getting the one-off licensing fee for it being available on console. The only reason I can think for this choice, and this is speculation, is that DE want to maintain a profit margin on console Tennogen which means they need to get at least enough console sales to cover the one-off license fee. If console Tennogen sales were to drop, because most players would rather buy on PC to be able to use cross-platform, then DE wouldn't be able to justify licensing skins on console as they'd be paying the artist more in that one-off fee than they'd get in return from console Pt sales. This would then mean either they'd have to stop putting Tennogen on consoles, effectively taking away the cross-platform use of PC purchased skins anyway, or they'd have to reduce the one-off license payment to artists, which is both reducing the support of artists and risks those artists refusing to allow their design on consoles. TL;DR: Allowing PC purchased Tennogen to be used cross-platform could hypothetically have a knock-on effect that would make it economically unviable to have Tennogen on consoles at all, which would ironically kill cross-platform Tennogen.

Testing is literally what Founders signed up for so it's not that surprising to start there (or the Design Council which is made up of top two tiers of Founders plus other active community members invited over time). If it works with few hiccups and isn't a mess of Support Tickets flooding in and needing resolved then it'll likely expand quickly. If it does end up with multiple unforeseen issues then it's easier to handle with a small test group so those problems can be ironed out before it hits the wider playerbase.

Okay, but why is it not available to you? Also, where will mobile sit in all this?

Oh sure, but it took me some time and afterwards I noticed all the Rank 3 mods I now have and just felt like that didn't need to happen. Maybe people could have been given a choice? Or the mods could have just been removed completely as I don't think the few niche flawed mods that were better value in a low budget build actually are now that the base versions have new values.

Given that Flawed Mods are still in the game and available from the dumpster in Iron Wake, I really wish they'd just been left in our inventories rather than people who wanted to keep them having to go buy them and rank them again and have a pile of regular Rank 3 mods to deal with too. I get switching them to regular mods if the Flawed Mods were actually leaving the game but why take them from people and replace them when they are still around? Meh, too late now.

The big question is: Do you want people to know the story so far before going into the quest or not? If you feel the player will need to have played other quests for the new story to make sense then charging people Platinum to skip narrative essential to understanding the new quest seems strange to me. They'd be paying to not have a base understanding of what's going on. I think a better system would be to allow people to play through the essential quests without the grind normally required. Let a new player run through the essential quests with borrowed mods like The Circuit uses (but on their choice of frames and weapons). This way they can blitz through the story quests back-to-back without the normal time gates of grinding materials and mods and working through star chart. If paying to skip were to be an option then I would have to conclude that knowledge of the story isn't essential, in which case why bother with prerequisites at all?

The fabric hanging down the front of Naberus Lotus is only visible from the front. Turn her around and the cloth disappears. Regular Lotus skin doesn't have this problem, both sides are textured, but the Naberus skin only has texture on the front of the cloth.
