Details on Prime Access Pack/Pricing changes?

[LittleLeoniePrime]

Devstream 174 mentioned changes to how prime access packs are going to be structured. Are we going to get details on that or...?

Gonna use these as reference

 

Disclaimer that this is how I understand it.

Currently on PC you have 4 options. In order of price:

1. Weapons + 1050p pack for $50
2. Prime Accessories + 2 x 90 day boosters for $50
3. Frame + Weapons + Glyphs + 2625p for $80
4. Frame + Weapons + Glyphs + Prime Accessories + 2 x 90 day boosters + 3990p for $140

On Console, you have 2 options:

1. Prime Accessories + 2 x 90 day boosters + 1365p for $60
2. Frame + Weapons + Glyphs + 2625p for $80

What is going to happen is that PC's #4 is going to be added to consoles, and PC's #2 will have its price raised to match console's #1. More stuff will be added to compensate for the price increase.
PC's #1 will be retired.

i dont think we'll get more accessories, i think it's more that the PC accessories don't contain any platinum but the console one does. 

this is also how i understand it though. effectively we'll get: frames+weapons+glyphs, accessories+boosters and everything together.

I thought I heard that were gonna get a little more in the devstream. But I was stocking chips while listening so I could be wrong.

So effectively judging by what was said on stream and explained here by @(XBOX)TheWayOfWisdom and @SDGDen less freedom on pc, but instead an accessories bundle that finally contains plat as well (if for a slightly increased price)

less freedom but also, almost *nobody* bought the weapons only pack which is the one going away. it's the worst deal by far being only 2 weapons and 1050 plat for 45 euros, that's 50 plat and two weapons (worth like 150 plat total) more than the non-discounted plat bundle of the same price.

meanwhile, the new prime accessories pack is 10 euro's more expensive and nets you enough plat more than this weapons pack to just... buy the weapons from the market plus slots and potatoes.

literally though, masseter prime and zylok prime together is 150 plat, two slots is 12 plat and two catalysts is 40 plat. so you're looking at 202 platinum total. the new accessories bundle is 1365 platinum so after subtracting buying *all* of the items you'd get in the weapons bundle you'd end up with 1163 platinum which is more than the weapons pack is now.

plus you get two 90 day boosters (worth 1200 plat in total) and exclusive accessories that you can't buy with plat. 

so yeah, the new prime accessories pack is basically just a DIY version of the weapons pack plus a bunch of other items for 10 euro's.

 

but who are we kidding, if you want a thing from prime access, it's going to be the warframe. which if you're smart you can *also* buy with the plat from prime accessories. so the real biggest brain strat now is to buy the prime accessories and buy the actual items with the plat you get from the accessories! 

(although honestly, the all-in prime access pack is pretty worth it. factoring in the cost of the other plat-purchasable items in the bundle you end up getting close to 5500 plat in stuff for 130 euro's when normally 4300 plat is 180 euro's. that's 43 plat per euro compared to 23 plat per euro (so ALMOST a 50% discount))
