Emeere Posted December 3, 2013 Author Share Posted December 3, 2013 All closed beta/open beta games have some exclusives. It's to show that they've been around for a while (Which is also why I seriously disagree with anyone who says they should return). But, Warframe honestly doesn't have that many exclusives. Braton Vandal Lato Vandal Snipetron Vandal Strun Wraith Brakk Machete Wraith I might be missing one or 2, but since Feb (when I joined), there's only been those. I can't remember which game it was, but I played one a while ago in closed beta that was giving out exclusives every week/fortnight. By the time it hit open beta, there were dozens of CB exclusives. That being said, I do agree with you when you say they need to dial it back a bit. Give us badges, cosmetics etc. Dial it back on the weapons. You're right, we don't have that many, but at the rate we're moving.... By the time this game has launched we'll have dozens! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJunior Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 You're right, we don't have that many, but at the rate we're moving.... By the time this game has launched we'll have dozens! Currently we have 6 or so. If we move at the rate we're currently on, We'll have 12 by April or may of next Year. That's only 1 dozen. So, The only way we'll have /dozens/ of exclusives by launch, Is if WF Doesn't go out of Open beta by 2015. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A dozen unique, exclusive weapons new players can never have seems pretty excessive too me is all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ventura_Highway Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 I am not really perturbed by the presence of exclusive weapons. This is partially because I own the majority of them, barring the first two vandals and primed chamber. Like, I went through the trouble of earning these weapons, I actually don't use many of them anymore by virtue of "Screw that, this gun shoots lightning" but I could understand being jealous. Whichever way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to add onto the list (not exactly exclusives, but you forgot the retired weapons, although we have no idea if they're coming back or not): Machete, ether daggers, gorgon (kind of, can still be gotten), snipetron, ammo boxes/team heals (the old ones), boar, and Lato/Excal/Skana prime I may be missing one or two also. They're not all "exclusive exclusives", but because they've retired some of those weapons, so I assume that's what they have become more or less.

Garto Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 As a previous poster mentioned, it's really nothing wrong to feel left out when you miss exclusives. It's called "exclusives" for a reason just as how most TCG treats it like. And as said, most of the "exclusive" weapons are reskins, albeit more powerful than the standard versions of the weapons. However, there are much better weapons, such as them clan-tech weapons, or ridiculous soma that by far overpowers these "exclusives". You really don't need these exclusives to play the game. In fact, you can progress most of the content without it. The underlying problem is that you want something that is unobtainable anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxx7 Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 That Alabaster skin for Excal Prime was nice... too bad I disconnected from my router before I was able to save it before they patched it... I don't mean to hijack this thread, but was there a way to save this skin? It got removed from my inventory :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psychus Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 The only thing that I acutally regret not having is the lato/skana prime. But this could all go away with weapons trading you know... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blatantfool Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 This is actually a pretty reasonable idea (even if I have pretty much every exclusive weapon, even the horrible yellow Braton skin). It begs the question though, who are you and what have you done with Blatantfool ? Even a broken clock is right twice a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mythblaze Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Exclusive weapons are going to stay exclusive. I do agree that it would be nice to cut back the frequency of exclusives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_mangomen_ Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 How about a Brakk blueprint for a 90 day in a row login bonus? Or add a 4 star tier for 90+ days that has some exclusive stuff in it? I see the Brakk all the time, hopefully the next event has another ultimate secondary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sniperoth Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 DISCLAIMER: I love exclusives, honest and true, they make players who were around for special events FEEL special, like they participated in something unique. I have no interest in taking away or making exclusives less exclusive..y(?) What I'm saying is, we already have (imho) WAY TOO MANY, this game isn't even launched yet, and we have 'exclusive' weapons coming out of the yin-yang! I have many of these exclusives, but my heart goes out to the poor sob two or three years down the line who asks:... 'Wow, cool weapon! What is it? Where can I get one?" "Oh, This? This is the Akwraithvandalprime Strun, I got it in an event about a year and a half ago, it isn't available anymore~" "Oh." For the sake of the future players, we should either throttle back rewards, or restrict them to cosmetic effects/items only! Doesn't your suggestion go against what you claim to be your concern for "the poor sob two or three years down the line"? You already have your exclusives, so you want DE to stop giving them out or "restrict them to cosmetic effects/items only" from this point onwards? I started playing roughly 10 days ago. So coming from a guy who's never had the chance to participate in any of the previous events and doesn't have a single exclusive item, to me all you're saying is: "DE, don't give the newer guys who just started the game after the last event any chance of having any useful exclusive item ever and let us old timers keep the good stuff exclusively for ourselves." "..this game isn't even launched yet, and we have 'exclusive' weapons coming out of the yin-yang!" - Another way to look at it is: since the game isn't launched yet, it wouldn't hurt to give exclusive items to people who are actively participating in the open beta. Sure, there really is something wrong with the current model. But simply cutting off exclusives or restricting them to cosmetic-only items from this point forward is not the solution. Doing that will just rob future players of any chance of ever getting a good item. There are people - like me - who didn't start playing the game earlier simply because they never knew it even existed earlier. Does that make you privileged just coz you knew about it well before any of us did giving you the right to rob us of our chances? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You raise some very good points in your post, I'll admit I didn't think of it from that perspective. I don't want anyone to be punished, "...Doing that will rob new players in the future a chance of ever getting a good item.." That statement caught my eye, you're right. The exclusive weapons ARE good, in my honest opinion, they're TOO, good. Vandals/Primes/ETC were, to the best of my knowledge, thought up as side-grades, not straight upgrades. In my opinion, they shouldn't be as good as they are, and seriously need to be brought into line in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arlayn Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Except not everyone has a computer capable of running warframe right then and there. Plus you can't say "lol they should have go a ps4" because the ps4 wasn't even around then. Its not always about being lazy there are actual limitations stopping a person such as hardware and money. Infact to assume people are just lazy is rather ignorant. To be honest giving exclusives out at such an early time, founders included seemed a little wrong. I understand a appreciate how DE wanted to give something to those who supported the game but the game barely got off its feet at the time and it was only starting to show some major signs of progress after the grineer tileset was launched (and was still buggy) and that wasn't too long ago. Not like they need the exclusives... so many weapons will come out that will blow them away anyway... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
