    Greetings, Tenno!

    We’re back in action after TennoCon 2023 - and our number one priority is addressing the community’s reaction to the Heirloom Collection.

    We missed the mark here and understand the feedback we're receiving because of it. After taking some time to review and evaluate our options based on the concerns, we have opted to increase the Platinum amounts in all Heirloom Packs. 

     

    The Feedback we can address for the current Heirloom Collection:

    “The value of the Packs does not justify the price point.”

     

    Our Change to Address:

    We are increasing Platinum to all Heirloom Packs to bring them alongside Prime Access standards:

    • Increase Platinum in Risen Pack: 400 to 800
    • Add Platinum in Celestial Pack: 800
    • Increase Platinum in Zenith Pack: 600 to 2100

    *The Platinum will be delivered via in-game Inbox to accounts that have already purchased the respective Packs. We are coordinating our efforts now to arrange the Inbox send, and Hotfix required. We will signal when the Inbox has been delivered on all Platforms.

     

    Similar to how Regal Aya bundles launched with no Platinum and were met with strong feedback, we agree Heirloom Packs need more value to justify their status.  

    This decision was made to address the feedback and maintain the expectations we had set for players upon the release of the Heirlooms (time exclusivity and Pack contents). In doing so, we are able to increase the value of pack contents in a way that does not remove any value for Tenno who have bought them. We do not feel it would be fair to those who purchased an Heirloom Collection already with the understanding that they were time-limited to now remove that element. Those who have purchased simply get more, and ultimately they are now a good Platinum deal with exclusive Cosmetics.

    Heirloom Collections are intended to be unforgettable (for the right reasons) - we are also discussing ways we can better preserve that feeling of legacy, quality, and prestige for future Heirloom Collections (if we make more).

    We truly appreciate your feedback and concerns and recognize the responsibility we have in ensuring that any new directions we take with cosmetic exclusives are done with much more careful consideration. The Heirlooms were designed with the celebratory nature of this year's TennoCon and 10-year anniversary, and it's on us to ensure that you, as a player, feel that we are upholding years of lessons learned when it comes to selling cosmetic exclusives. If we continue with this series, we are dedicated to ensuring all future Heirloom Collection releases have more purchase flexibility and reflect all feedback we received during this launch.

     

    Thank you, Tenno!

    I don't think you guys followed through with the player feedback in regards to the Heirloom packs.

    You only addressed the item's worth with the price against the inclusion of Regal Aya and increased the platinum yet you failed to take in consideration that we asked for cheaper alternatives (in order for players to have a much flexible option to only get the skins without platinum or Aya inclusion) that didn't justify giving in to buy an item with the equivalent of a triple-A game. Additionally, you're applying a FOMO mechanic when you stated in numerous interviews that you don't want to add mechanics that would dissatisfy your players (and, by end, your customers).

    While I am disappointed in the approach, as this studio has managed to be the pinnacle of balancing player feedback with the microtransaction store with fairness (compared to other, more predatory developers), I am still hopeful you can understand the community's disposition against this.

    • Chroma: Dislike the Vex Armor tweak. Roll it back (if possible, or make the frames more reliable for Teralyst hunting)
    • Ash: Good. Not as great as back in ye' olde' Draco days but good. 
    • Zephyr: Needs full rework for her kit (I expect this to be introduced at her Deluxe or Prime?)
    • Mag: Kinda ok. Needs a check up. 
    • Atlas: Good. 
    • Ember: Not OK. Roll back or replace her entire ultimate with something better than that. 
    • Gara: Good. 

     

     

     

     

  3. I am not saying that the Chroma Deluxe wasn't a bad idea, but it could had been done better. The texture quality is like plastic (too much lightning and color palette?) and the simplicity of the back wings gives the look of "cheap plastic toy" to Chroma. Personally, I thought of other skins that really fit into the "look I am a dragon" view of Chroma, and sadly this wasn't one of it. I understand the type of work and creative design done by the Art Dept from the studio but this could had been done better and with less...plastic...

    People are saying "Thanks alot Pablo!"

    but the reality is you've #*($%%@ it for us without thw 4k screens. the scaling doesnt work. fix please.

    Because we are not condescending ignorants who start pushing random buttons to question DE's direction of work. Of course they made a mistake, of course they are working to fix it. People like you are what plagues the forums. Because of you, we can't actually enjoy the game with your so called "criticism". I am not defending DE Pablo or any other staff member; developers make mistakes and start working on solutions (Critical Thinking 101), but I am not going to defend you when people start mob lynching you for your petulant attitude. 

    You have issues with WF? Fine by me, and us. Go play something else. We don't agree with simple, narrow-minded people like you screwing our fun and gaming.

    that's just sad. what happened here?

    Bad implementation of the 4k Mechanics, as well as not everyone playing at 4k. I play at 1920x1080 and I am super clunky with the overall graphics, blurry transition (nauseous) and having to deal with overly-large texts and HUD icons as well.

  6. I can't play the game anymore! The blurriness is giving me dizziness and, aside many changes including the huge bold font letters, I am getting a significant FPS drop from just being at the Liset (before it was 60 and now it's sitting around 20 - 25). 

  7. I have a question: why sell the prints in a blind bag? Wouldn't had been more diverse if they were able to sell the prints individually? I mean, the blind bag is a cool option but it's a bugger I can't just buy one (in my case, Chroma) if I have to make a gamble and buy a 5x blind bag for $70 (that's the ACTUAL price if you are going to set up the order from the shop in US)

  8. I think that you guys both have some nice ideas on this. Let me chime in.

     

    For Spectral Scream I agree that it either needs a rework or an overhaul for a new ability. Now my idea is to kinda do what DE has been doing from the beginning, make it more active. So how about it works like a siege mode deal. Basically he takes a stance. In this stance he can move slowly as per usual but instead of continuously blowing fire he has two options. Lets say firing makes him breath fire as per usual but alt fire shoots a fireball like with his augment. Holding Alt Fire allows him to charge it increasing the size and flight speed, increasing the blast radius and damage. Idk how we can even think of overhauling this though... reason being that he's a dragon based/dragon knight frame. I wouldn't dream of taking away his firebreathing.

     

    For his augment, since now it'll be available off the bat then perhaps when you activate the ability he'll do a shout which knocks enemies back. Not necessarily onto the ground but just stunning or pushing them back like impact procs. So basically he'll create some space for himself.

     

    Vex Armor and Elemental Ward are alright as said. My Chroma is still pretty fresh though so he doesn't have any forma. Idk what the maximum potential time for it is after mods but it feels like I end up having to cast those pretty often. I don't like that but like I said it's limited knowledge.

     

    For Effigy... I mean I don't necessarily like the ability at all. I feel like it's kinda counter intuitive to his playstyle. He's suppose to be a tank but you risk dropping your armor rating by half to get some speed. I mean yea it's cool and I dare say it is a GOOD idea... but it's not what I expected I guess.

     

    I'd love to drop that and if were talking new abilities... I'd like if for Chroma in his Effigy stance he does grow the wings like Arch_Magnus and I like your lance idea oracle-ryuu... this is what I envisioned.

     

    Why not give Chroma the wings and this is how it would function... basically he controls like an arch wing now. Holding jump allows him to go into flight mode and while his speed wouldn't be as crazy as an archwings, his mobility would still be far higher than before.. At the same time, I feel that he should be able to pull out a special lance (though it'll be more of a great sword with a long handle, think Ronan from Grand Chase).

    I disagree with the lance toss in the mix of all of this... But! I'm not opposed to the idea of the new weapon that you proposed. Chroma can have his own and I think it should definitely be available as a weapon type to other characters though.

     

    On top of that he would be able to use all of his abilities and go into Spectral Scream if he needs range. The Alt Fire projectile will receive increased flight speed and charge time to make it more effective since he can't use a ranged weapon. Vex and EW would stay the same.

     

    This lance will have its own move set grounded and aerial combos. The only issue is that giving him that freedom changes PVP immensely. There isn't a lot of air control for other frames like he would have. That ability would HAVE to be treated differently in PVP and Dojo fights than in game. I'd say give it an augment that allows you to fly forever but only let that work in PvE.

     

    That's my idea of Chroma. Lots of potential.

     Am I the only one who thinks that Chroma's skin should be changed for something less "fishy"?

    While the reference pic isn't of my taste, I do love where the Ultimate would be going.

  9. About his abilities:

    1. No
    2. No.
    3. Nope.
    4. Maybe.

    Why? Pretty much simple.
    Chroma is SUPPOSED to be a TANK/ BERSERKER warframe. He needs to deal damage while sacrificing part of his health and raise his armor.

    1) Spectral Scream needs rework. Either changing the mechanics or re-evaluating and changing the entire mechanics for a better, more suitable ability.

    2) Elemental Ward and Vex Armor - KEEP IT LIKE THAT.

    3) Effigy: A possible rework would be either Chroma sprouting wings and raises agility and jump distance; another one suggested by one of my friends would be a variation of Valkyr's (Depends of the criticism). Most people are choosing the first option.

     

     

    The reason why #2 and #3 are unchanged is because both are Chroma's overall main ability: tank/berseker.
