Knight_Ex Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 (edited) Before it was Trinity and Frost, now its Nekros Prime? Why not give away a frame that has an insane amount of grind like Nidus or Ivara? Nekros prime is a luxury, its regular counterpart only share slight stat differences and different visuals, however it is a kinda pathetic move to put a vaulted frame as bait to watch tennocon, again it feels like DE takes a look at the market value of prime sets and uses that to determine which frame to "giveaway", Though you cannot purchase prime warframes directly from DE outside their prime access, you can however purchase frames like Nidus, Ivara, Harrow and Khora for plat, perhaps this is their game, giving out prime frames that cost them nothing rather than taking the grind away from frames that would cost them something. Oh to people wondering what I'm on about, if you watch TennoLive on twitch you get a free Nekros Prime, cause clearly DE needs them views.

CaptainMeowth Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 You're right. They should stop giving free frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diavoros Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 Or they are nice like that, they could put no warframe giveaway to the stream and players would still watch it. You are possibly one of the players that hoarded nekros prime sets for selling if it reached 300p and now salty because with a free giveaway many players are panic selling their sets for less than what was the average before the announcement. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight_Ex Posted June 11, 2019 Author Share Posted June 11, 2019 They should stop giving us Frames that are for the most part pointless, give us one of the expensive frames or hell give us a few rivens or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How the F did you come to that conclussion based on Frost, Trinity and Nekros? They are at 3 completely different ends of the price range. When Frost Prime went up on Twitch Prime he went for around 350p. When Trinity went up as a Twitch Prime gift she was sitting in the area of 70p or so if you were lucky. Nekros Prime is currently at what? 120-150p? Oh yeah they surely look at the going prices when they decide. /s And the reason they hand out Vaulted Primes or Primes in general is because they are keepers while regular frames will be replaced and are extremely easy to obtain in comparison. They want us to play their game afterall. edit: Ash Prime was also a low cost vaulted prime when they gave him away.

Tinklzs Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 It's an incentive to get new players in. Older players don't need it, and newer players with Twitch prime benefit. You also forgot Ash/Vectis Prime was given away a few months ago too. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raskol Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 They simply want to bypass the prime vault system they made themselves (which can make u wait for a specific frame for like 2 years now) XD 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knight_Ex Posted June 11, 2019 Author Share Posted June 11, 2019 I was helping a clanmate the other day trying to get the last nidus part, he told me he had been farming that frame for the past 4 months, he was super glad when he got the chassis finally, that insane grind is the reason why twitch drops should be frames that require players to invest an absurd amount of time with low drop chances, you could even pair the frame with the Hema.

They already have though? Twitch drops for December 10, 2018: Quote From now until December 17, watch any Warframe stream on Twitch to get in-game items every hour! You could get Nidus, Khora, a Rifle Riven, free Credits and more! EDIT: If you’re asking why specifically they keep giving away Primes for Tennocon/Twitch Prime, I imagine it’s mainly because to an outside observer, Primes generate more interest as a “premium” reward in comparison. Plus the whole “Prime with Twitch Prime” fitting with the naming conventions for marketing. Edited June 11, 2019 by FrostPrime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Few actually got the frames, so it is the same RNG as playing the game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagPrime Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 Primes are shiny and make people feel special, good way to get people to watch and play. Personally, those 'frames are just free slots for me. .-. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
