[Suggestion] Mastery Rank Locked Plat Only Items

[KudaGila]

Hey there,

With the new syandana called Imperator, I've got this idea to lock some plat only items to higher mastery ranks. So far we've been given nothing different compared to lower ranks, nothing really tells from a quick look on your character, that you've put thousand hours in this game. 

 

Since plat exclusive items will be here if we want or not, let's give high ranks and ppl who had to spend hundreds of hours to achieve it, some reward. Most of the high rank players are ppl who supported this game with real money at it's start or when it was mostly needed.

 

Have fine day

I'd be alright with this as long as they were only cosmetics.

Hmmm...how to tell higher ranked players at a glance.

 

What about Mastery Rank unlockable color palettes?

 

Have a palette for Mastery Rank 10 and one for Mastery Rank 15 and eventually a Mastery Rank 20 color palette.

No pls no...

If you are talking cosmetics, sure why not. But if you mean weapons then no. BIG NO.

 

Although, DE does need to start mastery rank locking more weapons and flesh them out so that there is more of a progression feeling to the game.

No pls no...

this. these people are already paying the game for free users, don't restrict them when it comes to completely optional and cosmetic items

They already lock weapons with mastery, so I am confused what the people who are against non-cosmetics being locked behind mastery is.

 

I would not have a problem with Mastery-locked cosmetics as well. It would give more feeling of accomplishment to a syandana if you had to earn it instead of just paying for it. However, if they do this they would have to make new items, they should not make items people already have become mastery locked.

 

EDIT: I believe there is a disconnect from what I thought I understood and from what is being argued against. No, weapons should never be plat-exclusive, but items that are plat exclusive, as many cosmetic items are, being mastery locked seems find to me.

I would love this idea, and plat buy any reasonably priced mastery locked cosmetic.

[LukeAura]

The syandanas are kind of already lored in to ranks any ways?
Just making it official rank locks probably wouldn't hurt too much, but it would be a nice touch.

Mastery System needs to be reworked first, imo.

[Anarchye]

I would be ok with a custom badge with the rank symbol on it (i.e seeker, apprentice, etc)

[NikolaiLev]

That'd result in less profit, since fewer people would be able to purchase them.

 

I think mastery rank is pointless at any rate, though.

[KudaGila]

I've ment cosmetic items only that would be mastery rank locked, to make them more exlusive, give players another reason to level up or reward them for their hard work with something that not all of their friends can get yet.:)

 

I don't think this will result in lower money income for DE, as we have many high rank players in this game (look at raptr and time spent in game for warframe players), who often buy platinum and are more likely spending it on cosmetic items, I've purchased another 2k plat right now, being rank 13 and I tend to collect all ingame items possible.
