(PSN)Goldengeartwo Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Research weapons are one of the most costly weapons to craft ingame, as well as the usual research time it takes ontop of the time it takes to gather all research materials. Yet when you finally do get such weapons, having no polarities can be a real pain. Having atleast one polarity would be nice... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhisperByte Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Considering it takes forma to craft these it's pretty logical that they should have as many polarities as it requires forma. We've been asking for this for almost a year and yet DEvs have done nothing about it and they will never will because it would hurt their profits Sadly this thread is pointless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kestral9999 Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Sadly this thread is pointless Sadly true. We've been asking for quite some time for this feature and it seems to have fallen on DEaf ears (see what I did thar?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Filas312 Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 I coulDEn't hear what you did there. And it always bothered me why stuff needs forma and doesn't have polarities :| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralsk Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 So true, it's been such a pain lately using weapons that have no polarity slots making them very annoying to level for more mastery points. It also lets me see weapons that I like, such as the Sybaris, and I can see the potential on them but I'm not about to spend a ton of formas or the time (especially since xp gain does seem slower now) just to make them able to wield the mods that they need when I already other weapons like the Latron Prime that can pretty much do anything. Not having polarity slots on research weapons feels like a slap in the face. You go through all the trouble of researching the weapon, then crafting it (and probably crafting a forma to craft the research weapon) and after all of that you get a weapon that has 0 polarity slots.

Redhux Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Completely agree with it! The same about Prime weapons... And the same about some AK secondaries that had a polarity on the solo model and then end up without polarity once in AK. :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm also of the opinion that if you fuse two guns to become Akimbo, their polarities (even ones you added) should be carried over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DSpite Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 So is the complaint here that we don't get enough free Forma in alerts or just from easy Extermination missions in the Void with easy to craft keys, or that 25 minutes is too long on Sachura to re-level a gun to Rank 30 while reading a book and getting some mates to go 30-40 waves with Pentas?

Nah, I think the complaint is that ClanTech gear mostly require Forma to craft yet lack innate polarities. Just a wild guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manub Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Clantech weapons are almost all better than market weapons. I think the higher cost is meant to balance that fact. Ofc i d like a polarity on them that lack it but i think the balancing works in that case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renegade343 Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Speaking of which, why are the Penta and Dragon Nikana in the Market again? Penta for giving players a taste of explosive Primary weapons. Dragon Nikana because logic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hueminator Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Well not everything that have a polarity is a good thing like D polarity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess devs went through, questioned and decided to have weapons like Spectra and Supra lacking polarities but the Forma-less Serro having a free V polarity. Or maybe they just skipped the 'looking over the thing one more time to see if it made sense' part. Just a wild guess of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noble_Cactus Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 (edited) I agree. The only problem is that every new weapon would have a D polarity, because DE seems to love that D polarity. ... which I'm pretty sure it's a design feature. Just because people don't see design it does not mean no design exists. Pretty sure the Devs went through each weapon and questioned putting polarized slots on them, and did not. Just a wild guess. "It's a feature!" Oh please. You're just stating the obvious. The problem is that there doesn't seem to be much logic to whether something comes with a polarity or not. It never has to do with relative power. It just happens. In fact, many of the weaker weapons come with no polarities while more powerful ones do. I wonder what that means? And I dunno. Maybe it's just me, but I've had a lot less Forma drop recently. Earlier this year, they used to drop like candy. Now I rarely get them in Survivals, and over the past few days I spent 25 exterm keys before I finally got a BP.

Arunafeltz Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 too much conspiracy Oh please don't mind us. Back on-topic. The lack of polarities wouldn't matter so much if some ClanTech weapons weren't so underwhelming that the Forma requirement without innate polarity becomes a Prova to the spore sack. Should bring up that one first, with the Spectra, Flux Rifle, Supra(sigh, Corpus) and Torid following right after. If it was intended game design to have subpar weapons needing Forma to craft yet lacking the courtesy of at least one polarity like so many other weapons have, I'm not going to hide my disappointment.

manub Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 an easy answer would be to get formas out of clan weaps building materials this would be my preference as i don t see the logic of using an alrdy rare (in these last updates) ressource with other uses just to build weapons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mokkania Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 what do you guys think if free polarities were the way to "metabalance" exemple would be boltor prime 0 polarities and Mk1 braton 3-4 polarities (v polarity is a problem but just ignore it for now) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
