(PSN)Mono-Pop Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 (edited) $105 for the prime warframe? That is absolutely ridiculous, you guys even had the balls the put the booster packs in a seperate bundle with the ugly operator accessories. Are DE really so desperate they need to nickle and dime people like this? I was so excited to get Mesa Prime the day she came out, but I’m not spending $105 on a skin, or $82 on some boosters. Honestly, it kind of sours warframe in general for me. I started playing this game because of the Noclip documentary, it portrayed you guys as being different. But looking at this, this is more predatory and disgusting than anything Bungie have ever employed. So disappointed with DE and the Mesa prime release. Today I am embarrassed to be a warframe player.

Fabpsi Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Hi there^^ Just as a friendly reminder: If you are only interested in the Mesa Prime Warframe and don't care about / don't like the other contents of the current Prime Access, you can always just farm this new Warframe ingame using different relics. (Or get the different parts from other players using the ingame trading-system. That is a quick method too, but probably costs platinum) Sure this takes time and a little bit more effort, but that way you will safe those 105$ for sure 🙂 Furthermore - if I remember correctly - I think that the boosters were always part of the Prime Access Accessoires pack in all the other PAs in the past, so DE isn't doing anything new there imo. Can only understand your anger (and what seems like pure hatred because of a freaking PA) to some degree... sorry if this sounds harsh. I personally don't fully like the Mesa Prime Prime Access too, but oh well... Hope you still have fun playing Warframe in the future! Cheers, Fabpsi~ 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Estellrie Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Mesa Prime can be obtained in-game by farming corresponding void relic, you don't have to purchase the prime access unless you wanted the unique accessories or you are lazy to farm for it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I’m going to farm it. I was excited to buy the frame on day one and get some plat and have some fun, instead I woke up today, opened warframe and saw the pack, and I’m left in a blinding fit of rage. If it was all of it together for $85, I would’ve bought that pack and been happy about it. No amount of virtual currency makes what DE have done here acceptable.

We all knew from the moment they revealed the accessories that it’s not worth buying. They’ve done bad prime accessory packs. And the proper response to them is to not buy them. Instead of crying and ranting about how they DARED to put into the exact same boosters into this one as they’ve done for all the prime accessory packs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omawgawd Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Hey there, I think one thing you should know is that prime access was never intended to be the main way to get a prime frame. It's a way for you to support the game, and you shouldn't feel like you need to spend money to acquire the frame/weapons in the bundle! IF you did feel like spending a bit of money you could use trade chat as Fabpsi pointed out! However, I would caution you to not buy anything from trade now as there it is usually very overpriced and the price should stabilize as more people acquire the parts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are you doing? buying the pack so you could play this game for free. but that's just an assanine answer. look prime access has been the same price since god knows when, 2-3 years? they never changed the price since then and the configuration is almost always the same you could expect the same kind of item for every tier. given they fecked up some of it, and they did respond to those criticisms. Raging over the price is kind of unneccessary, but well within your rights. Just saying. and wait, isnt the tier to get the frame only 80$ and not 105$?

Estellrie Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 To be fair, the prime pack does come with a tons of platinum, even with 75% discount daily that you can get, you will be looking at around 40+ usd for the 2 primed weapon and mesa.

He means, people buy Prime Access so others can play the game for free. Prime Access helps financially supports Warframe. Yes it is expensive but you are under no obligation to purchase it. I usually buy it for the discounted Platinum to use on the other updates. The primes are just a bonus for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The game is free but the people who make it happen for us ain't free as they need to live also and how can you iron out bugs when you need to keep paying people to do it... You can grind for it all which I will be also as why not as well make some extra plat in the process to make up for the wowser really tag... Strange the booster being split and to the value using plat in game for the operator junk hrmmmm query that one not the price 😉 do the math. The booster cost more then it has ever cost. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some form of monetisation besides; Weapon slots. Warframe slots. Sentinel slots. Colour palettes. Catalysts. Reactors. Greater lenses. Rush for platinum costs. Catch of the day x 3-4. Syandanas. Warframe skins. Warframe helmets. Weapon skins. Attachments. Animations. Affinity, resource and credit boosters. Operator hair, clothing and accessories. The platinum price of Endo. UI skins. Ship decorations. Yet on top of that we have scams like prime access. DE aren’t the starving company they were four years ago when Noclip made his documentary.

There’s 4 prime access options, always have been. Weapon pack, Warframe and weapon pack, accessories pack and a pack that has everything. What region are you in anyway? I’m sorry but this is a free game with a free economy, if you don’t wanna buy it then don’t. DE will know how you feel about it and sees your feedback when you don’t buy it, complaining won’t do anything, speak with your wallet You know you can farm it, then just do that. Consider buying the prime vault if it’s more worth it to you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Estellrie Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 I presume you are just starting out the game, if you are, please take your time to observe that all platinum based item are reasonably accessible due to the fact platinum can be traded in this game. Note that Warframe has one of the more friendly approach to platinum trading that you will ever find in other games, many of the free resources you can find in game can be traded for platinum. If you compare that with Destiny 2, that is non-existent. Understandably, warframe did a poor job in showing their newcomers that the game is f2p friendly. I suggest you stick around more and learn the rope of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
