David Posted June 5, 2014 Posted June 5, 2014 Ok, I am frankly getting sick and tired of all these "THOSE SHOULDN'T BE EXCLUSIVE" threads. I am not posting this to bash, or talk down on those who post those threads, but seriously.. Shtap. The point of exclusivity is to be exclusive. It's a reward for participating in some form of activity. The founder items were made to reward those players who supported the game early on. It's like backing a project that hasn't been made yet, in hopes that you get your investments worth. Re-releasing these items to the mass after a year or so would devalue those founders. (Speaking as a founder myself). As for the event exclusives. While I'm against mods being exclusive, the weapons were an exclusive reward for those who participated. If you weren't there, or a new player who wasn't around during these events, what makes you think you deserve these items? I missed out on all the events myself and while I regret missing them, those people deserve those rewards. There would be no point in participating in events if everyone gets the rewards. It's like missing out on a Nickle Back (bad example, I know) concert, then telling the entire band to rent out the stadium again just to do the concert all over again just cause you missed it. If you're a new player, deal with it. There will be events in the future, if you missed the past ones; so one. Players who played for over a year or two, shouldn't be punished just because you joined the game late or "put off" events (like I did) because you didn't feel like doing them. Point is, these items are exclusive. They are rightfully the players who participated or purchased these items. Not yours (if you missed it). You gain no benefit over owning these items other than having a higher blue bar then other players. You can easily hit Mastery Rank 10 with all the current weapons (As Master Rank 10 is the only beneficial rank at the moment due to being able to equip everyone, craft everything, and having the max number of extractors out). The last 5 or 6 ranks don't matter. Get over it. This is a representation of those who want them to release the exclusives to them..
PeripheralVisionary Posted June 5, 2014 Posted June 5, 2014 (edited) Who said these items have to be exclusive? Can't they just be event rewards? Edited June 5, 2014 by PeripheralVisionary

David Posted June 5, 2014 Author Posted June 5, 2014 Who said these items have to be exclusive? Can't they just be event rewards? You don't seem to understand what "Exclusive" is. Do you? Rewards from events are exclusive to those events...
OniDax Posted June 5, 2014 Posted June 5, 2014 (edited) If I could give more +1s I would OP. I wish this would be stickied... Edited June 5, 2014 by AntoineFlemming
Detheroc Posted June 5, 2014 Posted June 5, 2014 This gif... It really is like our society... The $&*^ gets everything and comes through with it. But on topic: I also dont think that something you really worked hard for in a given timeline should be handed out an easier way later on. (Brakk for example, not that i call the RNG easier but you can get the parts by not even caring about them. The gradivus took so much of my sanity to run those 100 missions in that little time.
CampingSnake Posted June 5, 2014 Posted June 5, 2014 I agree fully. I can literally find nothing in this post to disagree with. (ok maybe the part about Nickel Back could be different :P) Also great visual example.
CryoClaw Posted June 5, 2014 Posted June 5, 2014 All I want is the mods and weapons to return I don't care about excalibour prime nor do I care for any other exclusive cosmetics

You don't seem to understand what "Exclusive" is. Do you? Rewards from events are exclusive to those events... They could be released to other events. No need to insult my intelligence. I don't see where it states they exclusively come from those events.
Dualstar Posted June 5, 2014 Posted June 5, 2014 Oh yeah. This threads going to burn. Anyway, just make sure that people know whats never coming back. Such as the Founders Primes and the Closed Beta Vandals. And Primed Chamber for all we know.
Kylecrafts Posted June 5, 2014 Posted June 5, 2014 I think DE would benefit more if "exclusive" content came around for availability every so often; not like every day, just maybe like events for old event weapons (For examplar purposes: Snipetron Vandal, Machete Wraith) once in a while. I'm not going to discuss the likes of Braton/Lato Vandals and Excal Primes.
(PSN)blowshoot99 Posted June 5, 2014 Posted June 5, 2014 I see the way you are thinking but on ps4 we did not had a chance to buy a founder pack BUT i understand DE to not re release it on ps4 because if they do, pc tennos will complain about it. A tenno from Paris
OniDax Posted June 5, 2014 Posted June 5, 2014 Most of these exclusives are supposed to be open to coming back, but the problem is that they just aren't. Events featuring these items just need to come around every month or two.
Namacyst Posted June 5, 2014 Posted June 5, 2014 (edited) + over 9000 for this well written and straight to the truth Post. There is basically nothing more to say about this Topic and i completely agree (and love the concert analogy, brought stuff like that up myself back then when i was defending the exclusive items). Bottom line is so true: If you were not there or did not play at that time then you don't deserve those exclusive items. Period. Cheers Edited June 5, 2014 by Namacyst
Brynslustafir Posted June 5, 2014 Posted June 5, 2014 Who said these items have to be exclusive? Can't they just be event rewards? No.
yarash2110 Posted June 5, 2014 Posted June 5, 2014 They could be released to other events. No need to insult my intelligence. I don't see where it states they exclusively come from those events. so you say that the same weapon should have multiple events to it? if you didn't notice the whole post was explaining why that shouldn't be, and i totaly agree with it, give me one reason that they should re-release event weapons ("because i want it" is not a reason)
Kylecrafts Posted June 5, 2014 Posted June 5, 2014 I do dislike the "You didn't play the game in that certain window, so therefore you don't get new stuff. So shut up whining and deal with it" mentality, however.
PeripheralVisionary Posted June 5, 2014 Posted June 5, 2014 so you say that the same weapon should have multiple events to it? if you didn't notice the whole post was explaining why that shouldn't be, and i totaly agree with it, give me one reason that they should re-release event weapons ("because i want it" is not a reason) I want to see where they are deemed exclusive in the first place, whether it is in the event description or in the codex entry. The Braton and Lato Vandals are a given due to their descriptions. Sorry, I am just asking.
(PSN)blowshoot99 Posted June 5, 2014 Posted June 5, 2014 On ps4 we did not had a chance to buy the founder pack and this is why im complaining right now but if they release excalibur prime on ps4, pc founders gonna complain too and i understand why they will.
LysianaSyrena Posted June 5, 2014 Posted June 5, 2014 This post. It gets my +1. Even though there have been hundreds of them this one gets my +1. As OP stated. They should remain that way. I had the option to get founders, but I didn't. I regret now because I'm actually enjoying a Radial Blind build Excal. and an Excal Prime would have been better but oh well. I missed out on the Strun Wraith because I actually said screw this boring event. Do I regret it? Yes. Do I say "DE gibbs Strunz Wraithz! Dey haz I wanz!" No. You earn what you worked for or paid for in the case of founders. They should stay that way. There will be more things to come. Every online game I have played has had event exclusives and no one complains about not getting them. Why can't we have that here?

DarthRevan84 Posted June 5, 2014 Posted June 5, 2014 on ps4 whe did not had à chance to buy the founder pack Uhm Yes you did. You could have played on PC gotten the founders package then when migration is possible moved over. So it was TOTALLY Available to PS4 players.
LysianaSyrena Posted June 5, 2014 Posted June 5, 2014 on ps4 whe did not had à chance to buy the founder pack As was said earlier. Founders was a way to help DE make the game. It was their kickstarter so to say. People who gave them money took a risk. They didn't know if the game was going to succeed or fail. It's an investment. They deserve what they got. The game succeeded. What they got should be exclusively for them. They took the risk in shelling out $150+ for something that they didn't have a clue on.
