LGear Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 (edited) We've been getting a LOT of helmet BP alerts the past 72 hours. We've already had Meridian helmet the previous day, and today we have Gauss, Avalon, Scorpion and Hemlock helms as alerts. I haven't seen this many helmet BP's in such a period. It's like they're telling us something... Edited April 9, 2014 by LGear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kheim Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 DE eventually plans to remove all helmet abilities. But if you have a helmet with an ability already, you will get to keep it. I suggest you make all the ones you want while you can. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrimsonPorpoise Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 (edited) Stats helmets are retiring soon? I'm more interested in the number of vauban alerts lately (three ysterday!). Maybe they're trying to tell us something.... Edited April 9, 2014 by NIXYNIXYNIX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H.Katsura_999 Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 (edited) I have no problem with them helmet alerts because I need rhino vanguard helm before DE removes the stats in the helms in the patches that come o_O oh yeah they talked about this believe me.

TheGuyver Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 I'm guessing that vauban alerts is because he's going to be a clan research thing, as hinted by the screenshot with him at the rail station. Also, they're removing the stats on future helms and making them cosmetic only so they're tossing them out before that. I am not in the least surprised by them not putting a vanguard rhino helm alert though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)CincyReds1 Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 (edited) I wish that I was around when the alerts for Vauban's helmet came around. It seems to only show up when I'm offline. Hopefully it'll come around when I'm on next and before DE takes away the helmet stats. Edited April 9, 2014 by (PS4)CincyReds1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koloricsi Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Not the helmets are retiring, but the stats on them. Just to clarify. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope RNG is merciful enough to actually give it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ConejoDeLaMuerte Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 (edited) I'm feeling lucky about the fact that I already have a Vanguard helmet. Anyway, I just started building the helmets I have blueprints of (at least the one with nice stats), I hope I'm in time before the update...

I'm a collector at heart so I did what a collector would do logically...CRAFT ALL OF THEM! If one has the resources, why not? I must admit some stats are downright horrendous, but I still crafted them just in case they might be useful in the future, you never know. Now I feel very safe from anything DE does to them stat helms because I now own all of them. Just missing the cosmetic ones though :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prinex Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 This is going to cause for some really differred gameplay between players :b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gelkor Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 What, exactly, will happen when they wipe the stats? I love my vanguard helm, and couldn't imagine playing Rhino without it. Even if current players get grandfathered in, I would feel bad for newer players getting a vanguard helm that doesn't come with the speed boost.

I helps that I've managed to collect every single helmet (except the new kara helmet) over time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish they would take all of the stats and move them to another Slot. Like "Warframe Systems" or something, so we can continue to fine tune our frame to however we want to, and our looks arent effected at all.

Magnanimous_Max Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Woah woah woah wait wait wait bro bro bro. What if I already have most of the helmets but I don't want the stat changes on them? Am I gonna be stuck with them being that way now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While not optimal, it would at least regain some of the balance these helmets broke and still break. For instance, if everybody can be 20% faster with the vanguard upgrade regardless of frame speed balance between frames would be mostly restored. OTOH you'd just made the game 20% faster, allowing rushers to be even faster. Would be a difficult choice, but I think giving stats to every frame would be the lesser of two evils.

Yeah, i can see that. But putting swindle's stretch on the likes of Oberon, Vauban, Frost (to counter Narrow Minded), and any nukeframe appeals to me. As does Essence's cost reduction to help mitigate blind rage. Or any Power-Strength one to boost Blind Rage + Intensify to levels previously thought obtainable.

CandyDragon Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Likely a lot of that is generally trying to smooth over the hype train crash of last week. Softened the RNG or added more chances at helmets to pop up in the RNG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
