xShadowsaur Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Seems a bit... unnecessary. Because, my good tenno, profit numbs the feeling. Also it's about the 1 year anniversary thing (In case you didn't notice) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TC-Guardian Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Its the 1 year anniversary, why should people here after the anniversary get the anniversary skin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mak_Gohae Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Seems a bit... unnecessary. Cause most folks dont use EX after their first go so if they left it on the market it would just end up taking up space since folks would likely wait until they had the spare plat. If it's limited it's very likely that most of the people that would wait and think about it would just pick it up now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaboomonme Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Though you do realize, eventually there will be people that missed it, and eventually there will be threads with people whining that they had "no money during that period of time" and other excuses to rant.Doesn't stop me from liking the skin though. It's gorgeous. Its the 1 year anniversary, why should people here after the anniversary get the anniversary skin. Common sense doesn't always win, sad to say.

Aishi Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Its the 1 year anniversary, why should people here after the anniversary get the anniversary skin. Same reason people here during the anniversary still have to pay. We call that a cashgrab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HillsAndTheSea Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 because its not warframes anniversary everyday, its basically a holiday skin it wont be available for the same reason the candy cane skins arent, its not warframes birthday everyday, and if you celebrate it everyday then it loses meaning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Letter13 Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 We call that a cashgrab It's like we didn't even get an exclusive weapon. [sarcasm intensifies] On another note, it's an exclusive in the same way that the halloween day of the dead weapon skin pack was, or the candy cane scythe skin (was that outright removed as well or is it still in game?) and the holiday cosmetic packs. This time though we all got a free rather kick-butt set of machine pistols, and the cosmetic is extra for those who want to buy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trouvo Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 my only problem is i dont get paid for 10 days.....and it ends in 7 days...major QQ.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleekGranpa Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 (edited) It is a holiday skin in celebration of the 1 year anniversary of open Beta. It's just like Shamrock, Valentine's and Halloween color palettes. It's a commemorative thing. But of course since it's a skin, SOMEONE is going to complain. I've never seen a thread about people being upset over exclusive color palettes. Plus the colors are basically free, since they are only credits. The skin is also something you have to pay for. So. If you can't pay for it within 7 days, which in all honesty is a pretty good amount of time to buy that amount of plat, then it's just an unfortunate occurrence. There will be PLENTY more new content, exclusive or not, so it's just something some people may not have. Everyone can't have everything unfortunately. :/ That's how the cookie crumbles in this world. Not to mention the slight greed I am sensing, because yeah you have to buy the skin, but YOU DID GET A FREE WEAPON. Lol. Like. I don't understand. Plus some people don't even play or care about Excalibur regardless of the new skin, but the people who do will shell out for it.I do wish that all the people that wanted the skin could have. But. That clearly can't and won't happen. Bleh. I've said too much. Edited March 27, 2014 by SleekGranpa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaboomonme Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 my only problem is i dont get paid for 10 days.....and it ends in 7 days...major QQ.... Can't you borrow some cash or something? Get a friend to lend you some plat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aishi Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 (edited) It's like we didn't even get an exclusive weapon. [sarcasm intensifies] No, just another free weapon slot. [reskinning intensifies] Sarcasm aside, I'm keeping mine just out of sentimental value. Not like I need sub-functional ammohogging akimbo secondary #5. Hopefully they make the Dex archetype a bit more unique than adding a higher mag/stock cap and some pitiful status chance buffs (Because, lets be real, DE is deathly afraid of any serious status vamping). I'm sure their anniversary is quite a commemorative event, just wish they made it feel that way. 7 day limit for every f2p player to hunker down and grind out 100+ plat or give into impulse purchases? Yeah, no. I'd rather have another free palette over any of this, it seems to be a far cry from what they did for St. Paddy's anyways.

BloodKitten Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 still think it should remain available through steam for whoever own dark sector. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ov3rd0se Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Except you can still buy Dark Sector on steam and like was previously said, this is a skin to commemorate the one year anniversary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, no. I'd rather have another free palette over any of this, it seems to be a far cry from what they did for St. Paddy's anyways. They give us a free weapon, and a chance to buy an exclusive skin that's actually the most involved cosmetic skin they've ever designed for the game... and you would rather have a free color palette over that? I've heard of entitlement, but this is just crazy. I didn't hear people complaining how the Shamrock color palette was only available for 24 hours. I don't see why the Proto-Armor being available for only a week should be any different, or any worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrotherIcarus Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 (was that outright removed as well or is it still in game?) It is still in the game I use it instead of hate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eggzodiya Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Unnecessary or otherwise, I bought the skin. I had the same thinking as you, OP, about the founder's package. I could have bought it in order to obtain the excalibur prime warframe, but I didn't because I thought, at the time, that excalibur sucked and would probably never use him past rank 30. Now, I horrendously regret that decision. The proto skin will never be available again, and, to a collector like myself, that's a nightmare. I feel crappy enough for not obtaining the cicero mods and event badge because I had dropped this game at the time of the event. This is a good game, I think, and collecting limited-time offers like these make people like me very happy. Also, when I logged in earlier, my prize of the day was a 50% platinum coupon. Like hell I wasn't going to buy this skin. 150 platinum for a limited-time item is nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhisperByte Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 (edited) Because limited rarity stuff drive the profit. I'm ashamed to admit but I used to play (still do from time to time) a flash chat "game" called Adventure Quest Worlds and every week they release a batch of cosmetics that go rare in few weeks and the "game" pretty much strives on it. It's surprisingly as effective as Skinner box Edited March 27, 2014 by WhisperByte Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well at least I never spent a cent on that one. Then *@##$ed to my guildies about how free players are treated like S#&$ there and guild leader recommended me WF as a fair f2p game :D God, it's almost been a year... OT, I'm kinda tempted to buy that Proto armor. It would be an incentive to finish scanning Ambulas and rebuild Calibur. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seren77 Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Excal and frost are the only frames I didnt have, so I bought the excal and the proto skin off the store because it's limited edition and I'm a sucker for that stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
