TennoSimons Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 I don't want to sound like an ingrate or anything (in light of the three 48 hour gifts of the Lotus this week, and Dex Furis last week)), but did Rebecca not say on the stream that there would be an alert (probably catalyst) after the Dev stream? Again, I know that this is sort of gift-horse-mouth-looking, but if they are not doing the alert because of the current gifts of the lotus, then the apology gift was really only two alerts. And one of those alerts is for a Forma. So it is really like one and a half alerts bonus. So, uh... yeah, how about that 24 hour Catalyst alert? You know, for me, the entitled gamer.

Letter13 Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 There will probably be an alert! What kind hasn't been decided yet I think. Be patient and it will probably be up soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloodKitten Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 (edited) spamming the post button i see :p Edit: mod fixed the triple post. anyway, we have 48 hours alerts for catalyst, forma, and reactor, so livestream alert would just be spoiling.

Morec0 Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 If I may: for the massive alterations that are coming to melee, I think a Catalyst would be BEAUTIFUL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhisperByte Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 I'm pretty sure Rebecca mentioned that it will be catalyst anyway, we have 48 hours alerts for catalyst, forma, and reactor, so livestream alert would just be spoiling. These alerts are an "apology" for not delivering on the hype. So regular livestream potato wouldn't be spoiling imho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbetti Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 There's already a Reactor Alert going on. I know it's supposed to be an apology alert, but it's pretty much what we get every other week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlchemicMike Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 It's...it's a glaive.*stares at personal potatoed glaive*Um...thanks Lotus... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightmareT12 Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 I believe the point of the Glaive is so that everyone has a chance at it for Melee 2.0, new players, old players, whoever. As much as I'd welcome a rare mod, a Catalyst or something else, seeing the 3 48hour alerts and the new system coming... I think it's fair and balanced.

AlchemicMike Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 -snip- Now don't misunderstand me here, I'm not complaining. There are those that might not have the glaive and with the new melee system coming out I'm hopeful it's going to be an even sweeter weapon than it currently is. I just already have a glaive with a potato in it, formaed twice. And about six more blueprints for one from login rewards. The Dev Stream rewards have always been a potato or forma. A blueprint you can get maybe once or twice a month with logins just seems...off. Ah well. Maybe others will get some usage out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlchemicMike Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 (edited) LOL maybe ur kinda slow? catalyst alert was like umm 48 hours ago? and atm its reactor alert maybeeee? Those weren't for a Dev Stream. That was from a delay to a much anticipated update where the hype balloon popped in the community's faces. Now I'm not complaining about that either, I'd rather have a good patch with a few bugs than the game shut down on everyone playing it. But even the Developers have said that was not the way they intended to do things and are sorry for it. But again, they discussed during the stream what the reward would be. A catalyst, a reactor, a forma, or a nightmare mod. And they gave us a glaive blueprint. If it was an actual glaive that would have been totally fine, a free weapon. But again, check your inventory and look at how many glaive blueprints you have. If you've logged in every day for a month I'm positive you have at least two. A blueprint for a weapon that you can usually get from a login reward is like socks for Christmas. You were expecting something big for a special occassion.

SableSonata Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 That's honestly pretty weak. Can't trade non-prime blueprints. Anyone who already has it, or the Glaive Prime, basically gets a small credit cache from the Lotus instead of the usual catalyst/reactor. I get that their apology alerts are still going on, but the Glaive is fairly common, either as an alert reward or as a login reward. Would it kill them to give out something that's useful for all - or at least most - players? A Forma, a bunch of Orokin Cells, maybe. They could have at least given us an actual Glaive, instead of just the blueprint. At least we'd get a weapon slot out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlchemicMike Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 iv got 0 glaive bp from login's Well now you've got one. It's a good weapon and looks great in Melee 2.0. Enjoy your new awesome weapon. I'm a little disappointed it was just a blueprint, but it's not the apocalypse that some people were making it out to be. Update 13 is around the corner and no alerts no matter how exciting or disappointing are going to keep me from playing it. And soloing things with my glaive because it REALLY looks great in melee 2.0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aggh Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 (edited) To any white knights: they've been providing catalyst/reactor/form for over a year now after dev streams. It's one of the things that helps alleviate the rarity of tater alerts for free players, of course people are going to be upset when instead they give something that many people get on a weekly basis from login rewards :| Edited April 4, 2014 by Aggh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lukedu_ Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Guys, it's because Melee 2.0 is going to change movesets and they want people to experience the unique moveset only the Glaive will have, as newbies might not get it in time... Kestrel? What's that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lickity-Split Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Don't you think its kinda overkill to give a potato alert while there is a potato alert on after a potato alert before a forma alert ? Fair enough Glaive may not have been the best option... Maybe an awesome Mod but you cant possibly be asking for another potato... All those Carbs are bad for you!

Morec0 Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 I feel jipped by the absence of a potato alert as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
