(PSN)Daikon177 Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Besides the actual warframes you start off with all the gear is crap anyways so I dont see why it wouldnt be a good idea just to let them have potatoes pre installed to make it easier on them, its not an easy game for newbies. The reason I wanted to do this post is because its hard to keep friends interested in this game when you start off with crap and if you want anything good you gotta build it and wait 1-3 days after you had already farmed for hours to get the parts and resources and you can add on more time if they haven't even unlocked the boss that drops there parts yet. At least this way the stuff they start off with will get them to where they want to go before they get frustrated and leave. Thanks for reading, im not good with words but hopefully you can understand where im coming from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(PSN)Daikon177 Posted April 8, 2014 Author Share Posted April 8, 2014 (edited) But then they wouldn't need to buy them.They would for there new stuff they actually wantEdit: were talkin 80 plat worth of taters vs completely loose a player that will buy more platinum eventually Edited April 8, 2014 by (PS4)DA_HEFF_ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiBBz Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 (edited) you must earn what you must achieve , not get everything perfect at the start you are meant to farm your way or buy cats as well as potato's if you want to use them , this makes no exception in this case your brand new , so you dont get the good stuff right off the bat that and well why would you even want to cat your starter weapons ? they are utter garbage , so really its just a waste anyways considering your going to max it and then sell it anyways Edited April 8, 2014 by DiBBz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xlraistlx Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Or maybe give them "special" catalyst BPs that requires components they can get in Mercury, so it is not a confusion when the craft a new weapon and it comes without it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fatpig84 Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 (edited) I have did nub runs in mercury soloing stuff. And suffice to say, EVEN if the weapon is potatoed, it is useless. All I got was redirection and ammo drum. So your mod rewards still hang on RNG unless you team up in Apollodorus, but by that time, you will have moved on to better weapons (the standard Braton).

Chaosdreamer Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 oh anyways "Lore related" this would be logical , just look at Excalibro story its said he has been put with potato inside Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnat6 Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 I would prefer adding an extra polarity or two rather than a potato but it would be better to just rework the starter weapons so they are not completely terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatpig84 Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Even a better reason on the why should this happen. A better alternative will be to drop Serration as mission reward. So by time the guy is done with Mercury (clearing all missions to Vor, without doing apollodorus), he should have Serration, Redirection (tutorial), Vitality, Hornet Strike and Pressure Point.

MisterUltimate Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 (edited) As long as they explain that a player must build or obtain their own reactors and catalysts in the initiation mission, I think this would help the new player experience a lot.

Giving players a good foundation via the Mercury missions would also help immensely. Edited April 8, 2014 by MisterUltimate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also giving them various " must have " mods ( Vitality, Redirection, Serration, etc ) as Mercury mission rewards might be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OniDax Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Or buff the starter gear? Or add preset polarities to the starter gear? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Un1337ninj4 Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 I'd focus more on Interception missions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zarbain Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 I don't know if you guys realize it but the mk1 braton is actually one of the best weapons in late game and if a newbie realized that they would never get rid of that braton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tun3X Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 I agree cuz i asked bunch of friends 2 play and they quit the game after like 30 min cuz the weps suck so they kept on dying and they prefer guns that feel like real guns when you shoot (idk how to explain this part but u would know if u played crysis 3 or ca... games like that. They could have done that for the first gun. And they need 2 make guns like this feels so good when u use it, just fun to spam it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zarbain Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 You are saying this because tons of others said it right? make me a video of you in "late game" I don't have time to do it but if people start early on creating it by the time they are rank 4 they would have more power then any weapon without formas.
