FireRampage Posted October 10, 2013 Posted October 10, 2013 If they do what they did to sniptron, we would get a boar like clan tech aka dojo shotgun.
xxx7 Posted October 10, 2013 Posted October 10, 2013 Already have over 5 Gorgons O_o Got the other BPs just in case they don't come back and I need the mastery points...even if retired, they still could use a buff ;)
KamaNightfire Posted October 10, 2013 Posted October 10, 2013 Why take away Gorgon!!! Better take away Grakata You better leave my beloved Grakata out of this scrub >:(
Brasten Posted October 10, 2013 Posted October 10, 2013 They are pushing cash shop more and more. Getting greedy there i see. Not greedy, desperate. Their player attrition rates are likely horrendous with an equally bad (for them) corresponding drop in real money revenu for platinum. DE is panicking and in the process falling back on advice and practices that are bottom of the barrel Zenga worthy.
NIL0S Posted October 10, 2013 Posted October 10, 2013 IMO it's just once again one of those "reinventing the wheel" thing DE does now and then. They won't fix old stuff as much as they retire it and put new stuff out, then retire that. If you've bothered with the stuff they retire to begin with (7 more days to get it! ridicolous), too bad. Get the new stuff, see if it's less broken. It's like an OCD Minecraft player destroying everything and rebuilding it, constantly (I know what i'm talking about).
FillyRarity Posted October 10, 2013 Posted October 10, 2013 Why exactly are they taking away the Gorgon? I mean... they're taking away a bunch of really bad weapons... that's cool. But... Gorgon? It's a really good weapon IMO. Will I still keep the one I have, or?
matto Posted October 10, 2013 Posted October 10, 2013 (edited) I think that since Grineers' season 2 weapons are coming, it will make the Gorgon out of date and no longer used by their units. Edited October 10, 2013 by matto
Brimir Posted October 10, 2013 Author Posted October 10, 2013 I think that since Grineers' season 2 weapons are coming and will make the Gorgon out of date and no longer used by their units. Pfft. What could possibly replace the awesome (and truly iconic) Gorgon?
FillyRarity Posted October 10, 2013 Posted October 10, 2013 In any case, I do hope they replace the Gorgon and not just rid it. It's the only relatively easy to access heavy machine gun.
matto Posted October 10, 2013 Posted October 10, 2013 (edited) Check the last livestream, I see at least 2 machinegun-like designs that look kind of sexy. You won't loose your Gorgon if you craft/keep it, so what's the point in whining? We already know that they're not really considering the option of balancing the old weapons. They're more into making new ones that get the old ones irrelevant. It's gonna happen for your Grakata someday too guys. Edited October 10, 2013 by matto
Brasten Posted October 10, 2013 Posted October 10, 2013 I think that since Grineers' season 2 weapons are coming, it will make the Gorgon out of date and no longer used by their units. See, here's the base problem. Why would they even need a 'season 2' set of weapons to begin with. When did this suddenly become a badly managed collectible card game of never ending power creep and rolling bans on all 'cards' older then last set? (Sabertooth Games and Universal Fighting System I'm looking your defunct butts). This is a digital videogame. Code can literally be changed to update and make these older items viable in the new context.
matto Posted October 10, 2013 Posted October 10, 2013 I don't know, they just want to release new content and keep going like this ignoring all the recent fails from many games that did the same. They are ignoring some recent development in the video game industry as implementing a lore with twists and everything, what can I say? I just give you the reason.
Zarlockk Posted October 10, 2013 Posted October 10, 2013 You better leave my beloved Grakata out of this scrub >:( Did not know there are any Grakata fans
shut Posted October 10, 2013 Posted October 10, 2013 You won't loose your Gorgon if you craft/keep it, so what's the point in whining? It's not that we're complaining about us never being able to get them again (especially since we all have every one of those blueprints by now). It's about the people who aren't able to buy the blueprints within these seven days, either because they're on hiatus/too busy or because they haven't joined the game yet. We simply can't see what they're trying to accomplish by preventing these players from obtaining these weapons.
BETAOPTICS Posted October 10, 2013 Posted October 10, 2013 Why would I disagree? Gorgon is a poster weapon, it is iconic among Warframe players, it has great and significant meaning among veterans to say the least. Boar is such a fun weapon, a bit too weak but there are so many good ways to make it better, then again we should take a look at the Prime version as well, they need to be relatively similar from each other but neither should be too powerful. Machete, a relatively new weapon, a cool looking one too, if it were any better it would be so much more popular. Dual Ether Daggers feel fine to me, but apparently they suck so I guess that is the reason why they are retiring.That brings me to the last point, like I said in Machete and Dual Ether Daggers, the reason might simply be the lack of popularity and since they are unpopular for the most part at least, from a marketing standpoint, they are not good products, thus it might be the reason for their retiring. Gorgon too since many new players seem to avoid it since generally Grineer weapons are not that good and new players don't buy the gun because of Grinerr weapons general reputation. That being said I also find it unnecessary and stupid decision even though I have them all already. I would rather see them buffed if unpopularity is the reason or whatever the reason is, I would rather want to keep them than take them away.
NetSlayer Posted October 10, 2013 Posted October 10, 2013 No no no hold on I refuse to elieve this one bit.... BROKEN?What is broken about those weapons? Please Highlight?The Snipetron was a good weapon, way better than the Vulkar and it got removed from the market.Weapons that enemies use... really do belong as alerts though. Makes more sense to have a Market that deals in Tenno and factionless weapons that we can access. Maybe have Darvo give us Black market Weaps like faction weapons and weapons that don't appear in events.

The Boar is a fun weapon, but definitely the gimp of Shotguns. There is no reason whatsoever to pick Ether Daggers over Dual Ether because damage type (Blade vs. Serrated Blade).
Zareek Posted October 10, 2013 Posted October 10, 2013 I don't care for it. Of course they could change them and make them more viable so they would fit into the game but, compared to the new weapons they are releasing, they are kinda boring. In my opinion at least.
Arlayn Posted October 10, 2013 Posted October 10, 2013 Machete is horrible - it is the worst of the Swords. The Boar is a fun weapon, but definitely the gimp of Shotguns. There is no reason whatsoever to pick Ether Daggers over Dual Ether because damage type (Blade vs. Serrated Blade). and what of the gorgon?
Brimir Posted October 10, 2013 Author Posted October 10, 2013 and what of the gorgon? If you read my opening post you'd know that the Gorgon is an exception. Though, with the Soma being one Mastery Rank lower than the Gorgon nowadays...
scavenge Posted October 10, 2013 Posted October 10, 2013 Ah S#&$, looks like I gotta buy some BP's then. Removing things instead of fixing them, not my pie.
matto Posted October 10, 2013 Posted October 10, 2013 If you read my opening post you'd know that the Gorgon is an exception. Though, with the Soma being one Mastery Rank lower than the Gorgon nowadays... They're not both mastery 3?
Brimir Posted October 10, 2013 Author Posted October 10, 2013 Derp. You're right they are. Still doesn't change much though, since the Soma is just that much better at everything.
BoompigXD Posted October 10, 2013 Posted October 10, 2013 (edited) Boar is fun but impotent. And now kids. Math. See, the Boar has a clip size of 10 and a Damage of 96 [16.0 x6 Pellets] The Hek has a clip size of 4 and a damage of 140 The Strun has a clip size of 6 and a damage of 130 2 x 96=192 10 Divided by 2 equals 5. This means that each two shots you're doing 192 damage and you can do this for 5 "ticks" (couldn't find a better word). So you essentially have a more powerful Hek with a better clip size. Considering Hek is a Mastery Rank 4 weapon, you'll keep this thing for quite a while Yes, but, the Strun suffers from a TERRIBLE Fire rate (1.7) and also bad Reload speed. I can pump out those two shots faster with my Boar than with your Strun Edited October 10, 2013 by BoompigXD
Brimir Posted October 10, 2013 Author Posted October 10, 2013 Except that the Boar spread covers, like, half the screen.
