TheDidact Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 So I have been thinking a lot about this. I don't know if DE has any plans on making Primes for other Frames, or if it's only for a select few, maybe there could be a different form of the Warframes that were made stronger my the Tenno, the Lotus, or even the Corpus to compensate for the lack of Primes. I would love to hear anyone else's thoughts on this subject. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormandreas Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Every Warframe will get a prime.Valkyr MAY get a Vandal Version, though Vandals are meant to be specialist more powerful versions that are intercepted by the Lotus. So likely there will be a Valkyr prime, which will have unique animations etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PsychedelicSnake Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Every Warframe will get a prime. Incorrect. Every Warframe up to Vauban is guaranteed to get a Prime variant, whereas everything after have a chance to become Primed, but there is no guarantee.

Paul_Pianoff Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Every pre-Vauban Warframe will get a prime. Post-Vauban Prime frames have not been confirmed. Corrected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every Warframe up to Vauban is guaranteed to get a Prime variant, whereas everything after have a chance to become Primed, but there is no guarantee. You're actually incorrect, there was a thread like two weeks or so ago, where someone posted a quote from Rebecca stating that any frame can be primed at any time, and that older ones are just a little more likely.

You misread what I wrote. I summed up what Rebecca said. She stated that all frames after Vauban are eligible to be primed, but there is no guarantee of it happening.

No, there's a picture of her exact words in a thread about whether trinity or Nyx is next. She said herself that any frame can be at any time. There's no guarantee that any before or after will be, not just after. Edited August 26, 2014 by (PS4)SCP-100912 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smithf Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 It may be worthy to note, that no matter what the dev have stated, they are entitled to change their minds. Personally, I was hoping that they straighten out the lore, and make decisions on "prime" or not based on that lore, not simply on whimsical preferences of either players or staff.

Chibers Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 It's whatever Mynki feels like drawing as a prime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She said herself that any frame can be at any time. There's no guarantee that any before or after will be, not just after. he told nothing about the timing, only that frames going to be primed, or might be primed. DE stated, that frames that released before vauban, have 100% chance to get a prime version. However, as you said, for example Valkyr prime might be released before Volt prime, but there is a chance that Valkyr prime won't be available at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)Shadow_Of_Hunhow Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 This states the same thing as Snake, though. It's just put in other words. No, because what he said implies that Vauban is some sort of benchmark for likelihood of becoming a prime. Rebecca says that statement is completely false and that any frame can be at any time.

Stormandreas Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Incorrect. Every Warframe up to Vauban is guaranteed to get a Prime variant, whereas everything after have a chance to become Primed, but there is no guarantee. No, the Quote rebecca said was there is NO STATEMENT SAYING ONES AFTER VAUBAN WON'T GET A PRIME. Meaning they have as much chance as all the rest. The Devs however, have stated, that every warframe, bar perhaps Valkyr, would get a prime at some point. Valkyr is the product of an already corrupted warframe by the corpus. How come it will get a "vandal" version? It'll definitely be Valkyr prime with some little changes to the skill set Vandal weapons are essentially Prime variants of Corpus weaponry (bar Braton and Lato). As Valkyr is a Corpus type Warframe, it is only common sense that she would likely have a Vandal version instead of Prime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormandreas Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Also, please pay attention to the picture SCP-100912 shared http://i.imgur.com/UPMydGL.jpg Rebecca specifically says, ALL WARFRAMES have the potentially to be primed, and that the statement of ones after vauban not being primed, is false.This means all have the chance to be prime, and will be, and if anyone tells you they wont after whatever point, don't believe them.

Somedude1000 Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 I still haven't gottenmy Hotfix Prime to fix the Bug Vandal and Glitch Wraith ... All jokiung aside, DE will prime anything they want, btu will give preference to items favoured by players, they knwo wehat we like throough a system we call "metrics". Metrics exist in every game as a measuring tool of sorts, and if theres a sway in interest towards one frame, DE is more likely to prime that one first, but the next primes are probably already being esigned as we speak, if not further into the design process than we anticipated.... We'll see... Soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RavenousPartyLibrarian Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 (edited) Vandal weapons are essentially Prime variants of Corpus weaponry (bar Braton and Lato). As Valkyr is a Corpus type Warframe, it is only common sense that she would likely have a Vandal version instead of Prime Valkyr is not a Corpus product. A vandal weapon is a Tenno upgrade to a Corpus product. Valkyr is still of Tenno/Orokin tech, despite having corpus restraints all over. Giving her an upgrade that treats her as Corpus tech makes no sense. She's in a warframe. Corpus can't make warframes. [size=3]Also, the Braton is manufactured by the Corpus, though based upon Orokin tech. Hence why it has both a Vandal and a Prime. I can't say anything about the Lato though.[/size] Edited August 26, 2014 by RavenousPartyLibrarian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valkyr will have a prime, which will probably be the most changed out of all primed frames. It will be her pre-capture look, possibly with new skills to accompany it, since her current abilities stem from what Alad V did to her.

And this is why she's eligible to be Vandalized, and also primed. Though for all we know any of the existing female warframes might be Valkyr.

Though for all we know any of the existing female warframes might be Valkyr. imagine it like this. There's an original valkyr called valkyr prime, and the current valkyr is valkyr vandal because it's already been corrupted by the corpus. Also, can you imagine prime access turn into "vandal access"? They might have a way into that but that'll just break the tradition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though for all we know any of the existing female warframes might be Valkyr. Vandal items are Tenno altered versions of corpus items. Valkyr is not a corpus frame, her abilities came from her anger at what had been done to her, not because of the restraints that were attached. Also, last I checked no frame has a helmet even remotely similar to what's left of hers, so none of the frames we have now are her. DE wouldn't pull that on us, they'd make sure we knew "this is what she looked like before Alad V captured her" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
