Dukkydog Posted June 24, 2014 Posted June 24, 2014 i've played warframe about 3 months now. i have to say, vauban is ridiculously the most difficult warframe to acquire. please DE make some changes and get him to drop a bit more.. or at least the helmet should drop more. =] your friend dukkydog (ps4) anyone else think it should drop more?
dragonkingdx Posted June 24, 2014 Posted June 24, 2014 o.o put in tenno research lab just cuz booben is awesome
CaptainPeanut Posted June 24, 2014 Posted June 24, 2014 People have suggested that he and Oberon be moved to the Tenno lab in the dojo. Seriously, people had complained for months about Banshee when parts were only as mission rewards and alerts. So why didn't they give Vauban the same lab treatment they gave her?
Xievie Posted June 24, 2014 Posted June 24, 2014 To be honest... Yes, I think he should bis pieces should be a bit more common. I already have my Vauban, and it was a pain to get it. It was all licky that the alerts popped up, not skill or dedication. Primes take dedication to get while Vauban takes RNG to get. It wouldn't bother me one bit for it to come out of the alert tables and than have Vauban as a farmable frame. Actually, I kind of wish he dropped from Vor... Just dropping Cicero mods won't cut it. Plus, the fact that both Vor and Vauban use tesla's, it would kind of be cool... I don't know, Vauban is just annoying to get. It's not tiring or difficult, it's ANNOYING. I think that removing a few things from daily logins and adding Vauban Parts would be fine... I've gotten like 5 of his Blueprints from logins anyways...
SoulDust Posted June 24, 2014 Posted June 24, 2014 RNG GAME IS TOO RNG. No I don't have 2k plat in storage and no I didn't play buy vaub..
rangeless Posted June 24, 2014 Posted June 24, 2014 i always thought putting warframe parts in the alert system is foolish unless de set a script to prioritize a set throughout a month's duration.....life does suck, doesn't it?
Rayxanber Posted June 24, 2014 Posted June 24, 2014 I'd be fine if the alerts were 24-hours like the potato alerts are. I can't count how many times I've missed out on some Booben bit by an hour or two :/
Xievie Posted June 24, 2014 Posted June 24, 2014 If I was assured a piece every day, every few days, or every week, I'd be cool with alerts, but having unknown alert rates would intimidate players and make them complain.
darthdart Posted June 24, 2014 Posted June 24, 2014 Don't worry, after you get him and level him, you more than likely won't use him again.
izzatuw Posted June 24, 2014 Posted June 24, 2014 Buy him. Cause apparently everyone can afford plats. /sarcasm
izzatuw Posted June 24, 2014 Posted June 24, 2014 Don't worry, after you get him and level him, you more than likely won't use him again. Said no one ever
darthdart Posted June 24, 2014 Posted June 24, 2014 Said no one ever You just literally quoted me saying it dude.
Bobsplosion Posted June 24, 2014 Posted June 24, 2014 Cause apparently everyone can afford plats. /sarcasm There are two ways to unlock him. Either buy him with plat, or suffer the RNG. You can get plat several ways, including but not limited to buying it, trading for it, or winning it from a contest. Pick one.
(PSN)IIIDevoidIII Posted June 24, 2014 Posted June 24, 2014 Don't worry, after you get him and level him, you more than likely won't use him again. I thought I'd like Vauban, but... no... Leveled Lobster be sitting in my storage with nothing to do except look fabulous.
SilentCynic Posted June 24, 2014 Posted June 24, 2014 So why didn't they give Vauban the same lab treatment they gave her? A. It leads more players to buy him. B. It leads more players to maintain some semblance of interest in Warframe for longer, hoping to snag him through alerts. More exposure = better metrics, better chance of player retention, better chance of players spending plat on other stuff, etc.

How high is the chance to win a random draw/contest? You make it sound easier than it seems

But if that is indeed the case here, which I don't doubt it is, then why remove Banshee? Keeping her as a reward only Warframe would have only given more to your reasons. The only thing I can come up with is that DE decided to buckle under the amount of posts about her. Now it would seem Vauban is the new Banshee, so to speak. I'm also not ready to rule out that DE is just plain fickle sometimes.

You make it sound easier than it seems It's easy if you're not useless. 275 plat IS pretty cheap. If you can't afford it because of whatever reason, you can always work for it by trading.
Shadow_windmark Posted June 24, 2014 Posted June 24, 2014 If vauban gonna be commod im gonna say, 3 months and you are bagging for end game. srsly dude?
Sunfaiz Posted June 24, 2014 Posted June 24, 2014 Oh, but that's no fun! In seriousness though, I'm aware of that.

He should be harder to get cause Patience= Pays off
CaptainPeanut Posted June 24, 2014 Posted June 24, 2014 Banshee is not as popular as Booben. Plus He is in a totally different class then her. He should be harder to get cause Patience= Pays off True enough, but couldn't that be remedied by making the resources for him in a lab scenario more difficult? As in, throwing in a few argon crystals or increasing the base amount of other resources required to make him?
CaptainPeanut Posted June 24, 2014 Posted June 24, 2014 Was just reading a different unrelated topic about U14 anticipation, when a post reminded me of something. The upcoming quest system! We currently don't have many details about it and how exactly it'll work, but what if DE decides to make some Warframe parts become rewards for some of the quests? No more waiting months on end for an alert to pop up when your aren't asleep or at work, and it'll actually require more effort than simply putting a arbitrary amount of resources into lab research. How does that sound?
(PSN)kiddplay13 Posted June 24, 2014 Posted June 24, 2014 Ya i just missed the Helm alert, LAST PIECE I NEEDED. Anyways ya Vauban needs a home or planet, because this is ridiculous DE seriously. You KNOW people want him and you only make it like an hour tops. That's a cheap move, just move him to the labs that's it. IF YOU WANT PEOPLE TO PAY FOR HIM JUST MAKE IT SO BUT DONT TEASE US WITH BS ALERTS
