[DE]Azambuja Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 a lot of players already complained about the prime warframes not having a big advantage. Just a different polarity and maybe a slight stats boost. With the update 15 all warframes will lose 4 mod slots. So that is a chance to make prime warframes a better option than the standard vertion of it. KEEP THE 10 MOD SLOTS ON THE PRIME WARFRAMES This way people will have a great advantage using the primes. Personally I wasnt interested in buying Nyx Prime. But if they keep the 10 slots on her I would buy it right away. What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nero9937 Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 That's the first good idea i've seen about keeping 10 slots since the announcement. That wouldn't be bad, would be quite good, actually ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreyEnneract Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 I think that's a bit too much of an advantage. However since it is obtainable without having to pay in real currency, I could see it happening. Personally, I'm all for more benefits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kazzamo Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 No. Slightly different stats make a prime better than its basic already, and only Rhino on have gotten that treatment. Ember, Mag, and Frost have no stat bonus. But giving them two extra mod slots will make primes flat out better than all other frames and it'll lead to people running voids demanding "Primes only!!!111111!!!" which you know, to get a prime you have to do voids in the first place.

What do you think? we are losing two mod slots. which is a big buff for people who use all the abilities, you also get all the mod points from the ability mods you dont need anymore.

Vargras Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 A number of Prime frames (Rhino, Loki, Nyx) already have statistical advantages over their non-Prime counterparts, making them better. Most have more polarities than their non-Prime counterparts. There's no need to widen the gap even further. Primes are already better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farming for better gear is the basis of Warframe, yet you're saying what we farm for shouldn't be better? DE already spoke on the older primes receiving buffs. The example you listed is very hyperbolic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imaru Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 I think this would be much better than a small stat buff for primes, but I think that Excalibur Prime would need to not get it (Sorry founders) because that would be a significant advantage for something that could only be obtained for real world currency.

AbhijitSM Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Maybe give it an extra slot ? Advantage...but not too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xennocide420 Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 That would largely underpower frames with no prime version. Bad idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Latronico Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 No. Prime Warframes should be just a aesthetical update, as it was in the first times. It sucks to be forced to use a Prime Warframe because it's better then the regular one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SazerTarious Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 (edited) Besides having extra polarity, giving primes 10 slots is a nice idea. Right now primes only have extra polarity thats it (besides rhino) So they don't really feel primy, Why not give them something that makes prime a prime.

[DE]Saske Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 First with update 15 all frames will only lose 2 mod slots and for frames on which you use two abilties or more nothing will change (if you use 3 or 4 abilities you will actualy gain mod slots with this). The only downsite will be frames were you only use one or even none abilities, because they will lose 1 or 2 slots. Other than that i kind of like you idea, but i don't think it will be good for the game, like reasons other people already mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DE already spoke on the older primes receiving buffs. The example you listed is very hyperbolic. That's my point. They've already got a stat edge that makes them better than their basic form. But if you give primes 2 more mod slots they're going to be better than /all/ other frames. Not just their non-prime counter. It'll lead to people demanding that only people in prime frames join them. Just like in all the other MMOs where you need gear of quality of the raid you're trying to get into to be allowed on the run. Player elitism is something I don't trust one bit.

I mean, people are already demanding prime frames over their non-prime'd counterpart, so I really don't see an issue besides the fact that it will add to the already existing 'prime or GTFO'.

Morec0 Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 An interesting idea, but I'm with a few other people here: Primes should get slight stat advantages, not entire BUILD advantages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like in all the other MMOs where you need gear of quality of the raid you're trying to get into to be allowed on the run. Player elitism is something I don't trust one bit. Certain frames without Primes will still be used. IE: Nova, Vauban, Trinity, Nekros (Just for desecrate), and once the frames without primes receive them, it's not like you can't just farm for them. Primes being a lot better than their counterparts would only be bad if they were only able to be purchased with platinum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trieuazn0 Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 today - H> t4 exterma mr15+ only 1000 + conclave please with prime keeping 10 slots - H> t4 exterma mr15+ only 1000+ conclave Prime Gear only! ill ahve to say no, simply becasue there are still too much frames with out a Prime variant, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Definitely no. The devs have already spoken on the slots matter, in words of Drew himself: 4 slots without any need to sacrifice abilities or polarize? That's a significant jump in power. Having Prime frames keep ten slots would be equivalent to adding two slots to them right now, and adding slots to frames is something that has been denied over and over. Not to mention it would make the power gap between regulars and Primes several times bigger. So, again, no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excalibur Prime is an exception because he is unobtainable. Not everything is black or white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
