Brian_Guzman758 Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 As we have all probably seen the new unvaults coming up on Feb. 11, these are two frames i have the normal version of and both have a Reactor. I think it would be good feature to be able to transfer Reactors and Catalysts to primed versions of the same item that has the reactor and to nothing else. So already 'Tatoed' items would not go to complete/partial waste. There could be a consequence system for performing such an action or something of that sort. Just to not make it like you're transfering Catalysts/Reactors at no cost- as i say cost, a cost could be implemented too, like a reduced platinum cost on transfering (they're 20p) so you wont have to buy another reactor/catalyst to install on the other Item- maybe 10p or less? This just came to mind as i saw these items that are getting unvaulted as i really wanted oberon prime for eidolon hunts and was disappointed when i was told by an in game bud that it will be a while before it gets unvaulted and look now D:. That said no blame on anyone....its all my fault just saying. Of course i dint really think of balancing issues and stuff so that's why there is a reply feature :D 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But TBH, Potatoes are pretty cheap, so if you can farm a full Prime set, you could just sell some of the junk you got along the way to make enough Plat for a few of those.

Hobie-wan Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 Potatoes aren't hard to get from nightwave and if you're worried about leveling the new frame up in a hurry, just go to one of the many meta places you can get it done in a few minutes.

Brian_Guzman758 Posted February 5, 2020 Author Share Posted February 5, 2020 okay so hear me out here...... When the prime version of a warframe you already have comes out and its Tatoed, when you acquire the prime version don't you sell the norm version? if its a common thing to do (sell it), then idk it would just be a little less wastage of an already installed Potato and less grinding... and BTW you guys say it like its so easy to get em, guess i'm farming on the wrong plot. (its not easy for me D:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(its not easy for me D:) Farm some prime junk then use https://warframe.market/ to sell it. It's pretty easy to scrape together the 20 plat it costs to buy potatos.

Sir-Swerving Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 (edited) With Valence Transfer/Fusion being a thing for Kuva Weapons, A system to transfer polarities and upgrades to the prime variant would make sense, Especially now when Lua Lens and Umbra Forma exists.

It makes sense that when you get a new gear item, even a variant, it must be invested into. Adding Forma and a Reactor/Catalyst/Exilus for gear is standard and quite a good progression system to maximize an item. The reason Valence Transfer/Fusion makes sense for Lich weapons is because you must invest 5 Forma for the Mastery, and those weapons have randomized elemental bonus percentages.

Prime Warframes are a bit more than just a variation, They are direct upgrades of the regular variant with boosted stats and easier to obtain in some cases, It's pretty discouraging to be told you wasted your time investing 8 forma into a frame that just got a shiny gilded version with better armor.

The time you played the normal variant before a prime one came out was not 'time wasted'. Play Grendel and Gauss now for a few years before they get primed. I mean you don't go "Man I wasted years of paying for gas, tires, and insurance on my 2015 Canyonero just for them to release an upgraded 2020 model that's shinier with more bells and whistles." You had 5 years of use out of it. But if it really bothers you, just don't play any frame ever until a prime version comes out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiltskillet Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 I'm pretty sure DE is counting on this and player psychology as part of their monetization and incentive to play. Still, I wonder if there's a way they can increase demand for reactors and forma by having some sort of small, partial "rebate". Maybe they lose some demand from players who have no problem investing in vanilla frames, but make up for it with demand from players who currently hold up for the Prime release. And get some good will on top. Maaaybe. But probably not happening. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverRook Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 this is what happens when the prime frames are so easy to obtain. people are so quick to dump the regular frames leading them to either not potato or feel like its a waste because the time you end up using that frame pales in comparison to the prime frame. as it stands, dont bother using forma or potatoes on non prime frames. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly my point mane, you said you had "5 Years" i'm talking i got this a few days before the unvaulting anouncement, how do you think that feels, for a standard player like me.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You still get the MR for the regular and the latter part of my post still applies. If you're worried about it, never play a regular version and wait for a prime. But really if you sit there being scared that a better version might come out some day, you'll just sit there doing nothing all the time. It's like never using your super life potions in an RPG or never using your ammo for your better weapons in an FPS story campaign because you're afraid something bigger and harder will come after whatever you're fighting right now. And I even say that as one that's been guilty of doing both of those. Edited February 6, 2020 by Hobie-wan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
