Prime Access

[JeyciKon]

As you can see im a founder, and im thinking about buying Charge pack from prime access, when i bought my founders pack, buying a cheaper pack would turn those more expensive pack into cheaper, does that still happening with those new Prime access? if i buy charge for 44.99€ will Roar get 44.99€ off?

 

Sorry my bad english.

[Vinogrady]

yup, prime access is upgradable just like founders packs were

[JeyciKon]

Thank you good sir..

In case you have more Prime Access questions feel free to check out the FAQ!

I would advise not to get it.

[-Hemorrhage-]

I would advise get it, and support DE.

One thing that isn't covered in the FAQ:

How does the accessory pack stack?

If you buy the accessory pack, and then buy the roar pack, what would you get if you upgraded from roar to stomp, and how much would it cost?

If you upgraded from Roar to Stomp, you would pay the value of the Accessories Pack and extra Platinum considering those are the items you don't have with the Roar pack.

if de really wanted money they would offer a subscription model along with the f2p model

 

many people would suscribe for 10$ a month if the perks were there

Pay to win?

No thanks.

That would disqualify the game from being F2P. And what a terrible idea; I love this game but I can't pay subscription fees right now.

He DID say IN ADDITION TO being F2P.

Kinda like.... Ummmm..... SWTOR...

f2p + p2p is called freemium - you can play the game for free, but if you pay subscription you get extras. varies in each game, but mostly exp/money boosters, extra character slots etc..

Don't remind me more p2w stuffs. Also, DE has no intention to do that in place. They know what's better f2p, than a mixed of " f2p and p2w " games.

NEVER!

 

but seriously, never!

I hear that DC Universe Online does pretty good. It's a freemium game too. Regarding the P2W factor, I generally don't care about it unless it's involved in a PVP oriented game, where it is significantly unfair.

 

Nerframe Warframe isn't a PVP game. 

 

 

Warframe actually sort of is a freemium due to the fact that we have to pay for extra character slots. Considering that we are started off with just 3 slots and no ingame means to acquire more other than trading. So them offering a sub for other added feature wouldn't necessarily surprise or shock me.

 

Most other F2P games similar to the collect 'champions' theme, don't limit slots.  Hawkens, League of Legends, World of Tanks, etc etc. And you can still purchase champions/characters early and/or without grinding/farming for them. Just again, even if you don't spend real money, they don't make you buy slots.

 

 

 

 

 

/inba someone says; "But Scott says that they're thinking bout giving free slots with each MR gained."  <---- Yea.... he said that last year... It's almost April and doesn't take that long to implement such a feature. #Moo (i.e. milking the cow)

 

/inba trolls says; "get a job."  <----- I have every frame ingame, and collect weapons and still have 300+plat to spare, so it's not a matter personal finance or a personal request. It's just silly that in this game we have to pay for character slots-. Weapon slots? okay, but char slots... I mean at least give a slot per MR or every other MR.

Subscription models aren't P2W.

There is absolutely no correlation between the two. How some of you manage to draw that comparison is baffling.

They are just subscription models.

 

If I'd rather spend 10 a month and get access to a level of the prime access pack for free while receiving plat and/or a choice of the weekly reinforcements via monthly stipend that would be my business, wouldn't it?

It would help DE as it would give them a predictable and reliable revenue stream.

 

If Warframe is the only game I play in a month they get 10 bucks from me anyway just as a thank you.

 

It's about choice, not privilege.

 

It creates choice as opposed to removing it... Why bash it?

I wouldn't. I contributed more through plat purchases than I would have for most games anyways. I'm out of content very quickly after each week's update. You can only re-run missions and forma gear so many times before it stops being fun.

Do people even know what P2W means?

 

Also I'm pretty sure if you replace prime access or founders by 10$ a month you end up saving a lot of money.

I've done my share of supporting and for all that I know, that money ended up in their beer money stash.

Incorrect, this ONLY applies to non-PVP oriented games. If you're spending even just $10 for extra stuff that can upset the balance and give you the edge in a fight,it's unfair. Especially if it's only available to those who spend money.

 

Therefore in this case, it would be about privilege. 

 

Not quite so baffling anymore is it?!

 

As long as DE is PVE it's seemingly good. But then comes the problem with the increase with the locking content behind a grind wall to entice people to simply buy it, Lol

DE won't stop with those grind walls, you know. Hek, I wouldn't be surprised if they added more. That would actually be right up their alley, now when I think about it.

[DBugII]

you obviously have never played a game that is f2p with sub options.....explain how a sub option along with a f2p = pay to win

Planetside 2 for starters.

 

The perks would have to be purely cosmetic in order to keep the game balanced between F2P players and P2P players. Most (if not all) games fail to do this.

No one will ever seem to agree with P2W, in some situations I do not.

 

I understand people 'work hard' for virtual content, but other people work hard in real life, so they feel the need to spend what they have/can/want on a game that is fun to them; regardless if it is your parents money or your own. Warframe isn't an advertised game that rewards only the best of the best players.

 

Like veteran players of PC, and the new community on PS4 who've been around since PS4 launch all understand you can have the best gear &  still be the worst player. While never spending a dime on DE for content/exclusives, you can still finish in the 'top tier' of events & PvP matches if you work at it.

 

On F2P games, using P2W options (in one form or another) in my opinion I do not mind it, unless it goes over board with diversifying the community between the people paying for content and those who are purely farming it.

 

This past PS4 update for Rhino prime, I paid for a Roar package, because I enjoy spending my money on Warframe. I also knew I didn't have the time between work & school to farm hour after hour in Void towers. Yet friends in my clan did; those players acquired the Rhino prime in a day if not days (from waiting on founder aethers) and even the Boltor prime. Plus a few of them told me they've made upwards of 1k-2k plat alone the first two

to three days and they spent no money on anything.

 

I think that's great, that DE is able to provide all aspects of content to be purchased or farmed out for free.

 

Everyone who is farming items to get platinum because you feel as if paying for platinum is P2W service & do no agree enough to just buy a platinum package, just remember where the platinum comes from when you sell everything you farmed.. It isn't from all the contest winners & random winners from live streams. Just food for thought.

[Llyssa]

If you upgraded from Roar to Stomp, you would pay the value of the Accessories Pack and extra Platinum considering those are the items you don't have with the Roar pack. 

I mean, if you bought the accessories pack first, would upgrading from roar to stomp cost only $11, the difference in price between roar+accessories and stomp, or would you have to pay the whole difference between roar and stomp which is $60.

 

Er, worded differently, would buying accessories+stomp (in that order) cost $139(the price of stomp) or $189(the price of both combined).

[taiiat]

Freemium has a very bad name because the executions from other Developers is abysmal.

if you pay them $10-15 a month, you do everything 2-5x as fast, get perks that shouldn't even be tied to subscriptions in a MULTIPLAYER game(like making squads in some games that i'm sure you can think of), and ofcourse get more swag (but that's not a big deal really). 

 

Most other F2P games similar to the collect 'champions' theme, don't limit slots.  Hawkens, League of Legends, World of Tanks

 

And you can still purchase champions/characters early and/or without grinding/farming for them.

i haven't played Hawken in about 16 months, so i can't really remember, and i haven't played World of Tanks in about 18 months, but the last i knew, extra slots for your Mechs and Tanks past like, 3, required money. if that's not limiting slots, i don't know what is.

 

and IIRC, if you were to pay $50 for a tank, you'd still need an open slot to use it, meaning spending more money if they're presumably all full.

Lmao, 16?! Are you serious, damn that's a long time. I started just 5-6mths ago. From old gameplay i've watched, the game has changed a lot. Even this game.

 

You DON'T have to pay for slots in Hawkens. You farm for the mech, then boom that's it.  

 

I gave up on WoT after a day, lmao but from what i saw you could just unlock tanks. This was a few months ago, so more recent than your 18 mths -_-
