Youngmrmyers Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 So I was browsing the Marketplace after Fortuna had it's second big update, and saw that in the Baruuk Collection, it had the new frame, his cape, the dog armor, yada yada all the new cool stuff. Then I saw at the bottom something called the "Baruuk Mandala". I checked online, and saw that it's a neat looking ship decoration. That's cool I thought, but I'd rather farm Baruuk and his goodies naturally, and I'll just buy his decoration separately. However, it currently appears that the bundle is the ONLY way to get it. Now, I get the concept of bundles, and I think 95% of them usually are a good deal for stuff otherwise unobtainable. Even Hunhow's Gift has various things exclusive to it's bundle (even if the extra War is a bit overkill if you own one), but I cannot justify spending 565 plat for one exclusive item. Even if it is a shiny meditation circle that would look rad. So could [DE] please put it as a solo item to buy from the market? I don't think it's unreasonable, and would be happy to grab it!

Michael7050 Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 An easy fix to this would be to make the pricing of bundles change if you own some of the items in it... or make a bundle without Baruuk in it. I really want this decoration... but I also hate buying frames. Feels like I haven't 'earned' it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitro747 Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 I feel the same, I really dislike buying weapons and warframes right off the bat because I like to farm for it and build them myself. They could make it so that the special item would cost more out of the bundle. Like, a lot more. I wouldn't mind if that was the case. Or they could alternatively release cosmetic bundles that include these items. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RS219 Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Any pictures of the mandala to share? There's no way to preview the thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scourge213 Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 Totally. For veteran players there is little to do in game, and if we just buy everything off the bat - it removes the joy of playing. This item should not be exclusive to the bundle. No other bundles requires 500+ plat for a single exclusive item. Even hunhow's gift has a bunch of exclusive things in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't seem to find one. It appears to be the effect that Baruuk uses when casting his sleeping ability. It looks like a large circle on the floor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.Genix. Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Full price even though I own most of it and I could buy the kubrow armor or syandana separately but not the mandala. If I bought the syandana, the kubrow armor, a warframe slot, 2 weapon slots and both boosters it would be 307 plat, so with that I'm already gaining 1 more weapon slot than the bundle provides. I highly doubt the decoration is worth 258 plat while the most expensive decoration you can buy is 35p unless you count the prime pedestal which is 1,000,000 credits. Maybe just maybe it will be available in a drop from the next orb mother? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(PSN)Double991 Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 If you view the bundle in the market I believe the mandala is that green circle formation at his feet when the camera zooms out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)bloodsuckinflea Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 There seems to be a large degree of confusion around this. I’m 99% sure that the Mandala is the theme applied to the UI, such as the login screen. There is a Baruuk UI ‘mandala’ theme for 50p, but you have to go into the UI customization screen (under the inface tab of the options menu) to see it. These themes do not show up in any other menu, hence why it seems like it is exclusive to the bundle, but nothing is stating it’s exclusivity in the bundle description. Hope this helps!

(PSN)bloodsuckinflea Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 Yup. You’re right. My bad. Unfortunately the UI themes are also mandalas, leading to my confusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
