Prime Access Availability

[Manelag]

Hello there, so i was wondering if the current Prime Access will be available through out Christmas.

I am asking this because i tend to pick up Games/Bundles at such prices (above 80€) with my Christmas Bonus, i haven't really kept track of how long the other Prime Accesses where going on for.

 

So i hope anyone can help me with this and thanks for your time in advance.

I would have thought so unless they plan to release a new one, usually they give out a week or so notice before closing it down.

Hmmm, well prime accesses normally stay for around 3 months. So check when the current one was released and add 3 months on to the date. Also make sure to regularly check the news on the main warframe page as DE normally announce when the Prime Access is about 1 week away from leaving.

Prime Access packs are available for about 90 days, from the moment that they released it. Now we have 48 days from release date, so we should have next 42 days, when actual pack should be available.

Hey the credit/affinity booster of prime access is 3 month and normaly when it runs out the next prime access comes within the next one/two weeks. The boosters will run out on the 23th of december, so we can assume the new prime access will be after new years.

The current Prime access will end at about Christmas, my guess would be Christmas eve because it is a Wednesday.  So the next one will likely start the following week, so on new years eve would be my guess.  Although I do suppose it is possible they may make adjustments to that because it is right in the middle of the holidays.

Something new and shiny for the holidays is always a good idea. I expect something new for the holidays!

Estimate based purely on past length plus a bit of guess work: Nyx prime ends 24/12/2014

 

However it is unclear exactly when this prime access will close and the next one will open. Prime access seems to be on a almost regular schedule if you look backwards, but I personally believe that Nyx prime access might get extended a week or two so that it does not happen on Christmas eve and instead ends in the new year. DE will be on holiday and unless they automate it someone will have to sort out the swap over. 

 

When do you get your Christmas bonus? 

 

If you want a more solid answer I would recommend PM DE Rebecca and explain your situation. She may be able to at least say if Nyx prime access will end this year or next. 

Here is my data for past prime access packs and a guess based on the previous figures: 

 

All dates in format dd/mm/yyyy

From here on is a guess only (based on the above time paths)

 

Nyx End Annocement - 17/12/2014 ~ 86 Days 

Nyx End 24/12/2014

 

No Prime Access for: ~8 Days

 

Next Prime Access 02/01/2015 

 

 

So I think that this prime access might be pushed to end on 02/01/2015 so that they can get past holiday time.
