Bandaid Fix For The "exclusives"

[Zephyric_Reaper]

I'm pretty sure people don't really WANT the exclusive items so much because most of them are usually not on-par with current items in terms of power. They're more so a fancy skin with alternative stats. The problem here is for completionists. More often than not I see the snipetron, the snipetron vandal and all those events and exclusives I had missed when I was gone and they're right there in the codex mocking at me. 

My idea was to remove all exclusives from the codex, all of them, and just add them when you obtain them, that way the list will "feel" complete. As for mastery, I can rest assured that the max level mastery (in the future) will be obtainable with all the current obtainable weapons. 

DE has said that they might re-release some event weapons so I would be okay with vandals and wraiths staying in the codex as long as they're obtainable at somet time of the year. However, the founder exclusive ones and retired weapons have to go from the codex. They offer nothing but an incomplete list for the majority of players.

If I had a dollar for every exclusive items thread that popped up I'd be swimming in potatoes

You know ill give you that. A codex that shows the weapons that you have obtained wouldnt be a bad idea only problem is on the other hand people would complain, oh they will find a way, that not every weapon/frame appears in the codex obtainable or not. Your idea is fine but it should be left as is.

That didn't made sense.

DE, don't taunt players with items they can never possibly attain.

 

Let me do that instead, as I run around with Excal Prime/Lato Prime doing squats on their corpse ;)

 

Just kidding, mostly. Good idea.

There is still no reason to have lato prime, excal prime and skana prime on the codex. It being on the founger's codex makes sense. On everybody else it's just "look, something you'll never get"

Maybe he pertaining to buying Orokin Reactor and  Orokin Catalyst (aka gold and blue potato respectively) with the dollars?

Look, OP

 

i feel ya, and ima let you finish.

 

But if they went back on what they said, they would be guilty of BUSINESS FRAUD, meaning they can get sued by any player with a founder badge, or anyone who got a Wraith or a Vandal when it was available.

 

What do you mean? I'm not saying remove the items. Just take them out of the codex for the people who don't have it. 

Or is part of having an exclusive item is making others feel incomplete without it? 

I said wraiths and vandals I could hold onto if they re-released again. But the founders will not, and for the vast majority of the population that means a permanent "did not level" weapon in the codex. For the ones who have it though, they will have it in their codex. Simple.

Whoa, i appologize.

 

I am very sorry, as i had thought this was yet another thread complaining about the exclusivity of exclusives.

 

This is a brilliant idea, and i support it. You have my +1
