Anyone Deliberately Use Vanilla Frames Over Prime Counterparts?

[ServareVitas]

Rhino Prime... He is 1 point faster... But he looks so ridiculous :'(

[BrotherIcarus]

No.

[Waiting_for_Entropy]

I use Mag instead of the Prime because of the goddamn helmet.

Yeah I don't like the prime helmet either... It's extremely steam punky...

[Archistopheles]

Alt helmets, players.

 

Alt helmets

[AbaliskInfinite]

*Looks at Mag Prime*

 

Yes. 

[OniDax]

No.

[Shehriazad]

Psh...I use Prime versions over Normal versions...I also delete normal versions as soon as I get the Prime.

[LukeAura]

I hate Frost Prime's lack of good colour details, so I stick with Vanilla Frost.

[WoodHaven]

Yeah I sold my rhino the moment I got rhino Prime, I think he looks badass.  

[nintega]

Frost. I actually sold the Prime for the regular, and enjoyed it greatly.

[Egg_Chen]

Yup, I 30 then sell every Prime.

 

I have catalysts and reactors in the normal equivalents already, and I don't have any trouble doing missions with normal gear

So why spend plat on slots or potatoes for some gold trim and some small stat improvements?

 

.. and I'm sorry, but every Prime looks horrendous (gold trim, really?)

[ViLeDeth]

I only get the prime version of a frame if I don't have their normal bps.

[ServareVitas]

Psh...I use Prime versions over Normal versions...I also delete normal versions as soon as I get the Prime.

 

I'm half dreading when Loki comes out.... Because Loki is my baby but I know if he's primed he's going to be covered in gold and it'll just completely destroy his stealth feel... -_-

[8bit_Ghost]

If there's a prime version of a frame I don't have, then they're a priority. At the moment though I don't have mag prime (not because of looks) because I already have her normally. I'm thinking Ember Prime is next for me (already have Rhino and Frost prime). Sooo...yeah. But if a new prime comes out and I already have the normal, then I'm not bothering.

[LordWartusk]

When I realized I couldn't get all the Primes (not a founder) I decided to just collect the normal frames. In almost all cases they look better IMO.

I just use the regular mag helmut on my mag prime.

[-InV-Skitz0]

why not both? =p

[Revenant102]

I use both, and just build them out for different specialties. (Frost for a power damage and Frost Prime for survivability for example)

[DJ_Redwire]

I use my regular Mag over Mag Prime because she was my starter and by the time I got Mag Prime I'd already put 5 forma into my starter Mag. So it's a sentimental reason as well as a practical one.

[ServareVitas]

I have an unpotato'd Frost (my second ever frame) I kept him after I got Frost Prime. If I'm ever in a situation like a surprise event where I need a tough frame and snowglobe is essential but my Prime has just been forma'd lvl-0.... I'll take Vanilla Frost. 

[Azsendi]

No, cause I level up my frames and then use my Excalibur Prime.

[faustias]

oh my god... please tell me this is not a complaint about a decimal increase on Rhino Prime's speed.

[Archistopheles]

oh my god... please tell me this is not a complaint about a decimal increase on Rhino Prime's speed.

 

Can't complain about the direction the game is going.

 

We can, however, complain that Mag, Excalibur, Frost, and Ember Prime still haven't gotten their decimal increases.
