optimal. Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Unless you had a Steel Charge at Rank 6 (which has a 10 in the top right) before 12.2.0, then you wouldn't get it. If you did have one, then patience is all you need, they'll be with you shortly. I have a Max Steel Charge; at Rank 9 (it was 10 before, now it's 9!?!?). I have proof of said Rank 9 Steel Charge, if I don't get the Core. But I'll be patient, I just hope I'll be getting it tonight. Also I don't think I'd be too late (and yes, I know you were talking to DemonNinja about being too late), I was getting ready to press Alt+F4 once U12.2 deployed, in less than 1 min I was already logged in. Thanks for the info though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the info though. Let me go over the mod card for you: The number in the blue circle (at the top right of the card) is the cost The number in the red circle ("Uncommon 5") is the rank of the mod, the rank is also the number of white bars on the left side of the mod. The mod displayed above is a Rank 5 Steel Charge with a cost of 9. And the following is a Rank 6 Steel Charge (pre 12.2.0) with a cost of 10. Notice how it has more than 5 white bars? Basically if your Steel Charge wasn't rank 6 or above (with 6 or more white bars on the left) before 12.2.0, you won't get the legendary cores. But if your Steel Charge was rank 6 or above (number on the top right had to be 10,11, 12 or 14) before 12.2.0, then you will get the legendary cores.

HvcTerr Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 (edited) What the hell is going on?! Just check the math: Let's define a basic "fusion unit" as the cost to bring a Rank 0 Common card to Rank 1. Uncommon cards take twice as much to level, and Rare cards take 4x 3x as much Each rank doubles the cost of the rank before it Steel Charge from 5->6 costs 128 units of fusion-ingredients and credits Steel Charge from 5->10 costs 3968 units of fusion-ingredients and credits Using a Legendary Core on a mod like Narrow Minded or Heavy Caliber gives you 6138 units. In other words, those two "legendary cores" can represent a windfall of up to 9600% compared to what people actually used on Steel Charge, ~300% minimum . This is a huge kick in the balls to everybody who didn't exploit the weird Steel Charge change and thus didn't get this over-the-top amount of free virtual stuff. Literally last night, I was debating whether to fuse my extra stuff into Steel Charge and I said: "Nah, they'll fix it soon anyway." Well F*** me, because I apparently didn't consider that DE would give everyone else a golden ticket! _______________ Edit: Revised math to reflect reports that Rare is 3x Common rather than 4x Common. Edit2: Here's another way to think about it. Based on this post bringing a rare from 0->9: The people who ranked Steel Charge from 5->6 are being given an extra 1567 Rare-5 fusion cores plus 4.9 million credits The people who ranked Steel Charge from 5->10 are being given an extra 280 Rare-5 fusion cores plus 882k credits. Can anyone really argue that those are excessive levels of free stuff? Edited February 20, 2014 by HvcTerr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xveganrox Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 This is a huge kick in the balls to everybody who didn't exploit this massive windfall. In all fairness, the people who exploited it in some cases spent tons of plat. So it's a win for DE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detheroc Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 There was something suspicious about one mod increasing your mod capacity by 28! Or not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psychosist Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Your math is off I believe. The Wiki says Uncommons are x2 as much as Commons, and Rares are x3 as much as Commons, not x4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunarsage Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 (edited) Rares only take 50% more fusion energy than uncommons at every level. http://warframe.wikia.com/wiki/Fusion#Fusion_energy_in_simple_terms Edited February 19, 2014 by Lunarsage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MenschOfUber Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 It's all about gettin' paid! Doesn't matter if it's fair or not! Gotta' get by. You snooze you lose. Gotta' go fast. I didn't rank up more than one Steel Charge just to abuse this at the last minute but it does kinda' suck that people just did it at the last minute just to squeeze more out of DE it's not morally correct maybe but it was resourceful. As to what you said OP yeah I think this conpensation could've been thought out a bit more than rather at the last minute to prevent it from being abused but I'm not sure if there would've been a way to set a time period to which the mod was ranked so they wouldn't be abused at the last minute. The numbers don't add up in the end and we're basically getting more than we bargained for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
