selfintrod Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 So for the past two weeks, Chinese players have been an incredible amount of 75% off discounts as login rewards. Some of them even got three 75 off in one single account. Here's some screenshots they took: I'm not quite sure why DE's making this happen for Chinese players(maybe something related to their partnership with Perfect World). But if you want to benefit from this discount burst, you can use some VPNs(preferably free ones) to mask your IP to appear as Chinese IP. This way you too can get a high chance of getting HotL daily login reward because the game will think you are from China. And if you don't think all these are IP related. Most Chinese players that logged in on Oct 1st, 2014, the Chinese National Day, received a free Starburst Firework as their login reward. And the Chinese players that used foreign VPN while playing the game did not receive this special gift. Also, better act fast. Not sure when DE is going to change it back to normal. :| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StarScribe Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 (edited) Heh. To me 75% discount is like a myth, which I stopped believing long time ago. Havent seen it since the day I started playing warframe. And that is a long time ago. EDIT: Also when I had put this into deeper thought and put some connections together (Perfect world... hint... hint). I feel like breaking something.

Ninjamander Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 (edited) they is one flaw in your logic. more population mean more login-reward? Never think about it? I belive a us player also get they own firework a certain day where a chiness player wont have. Myself I got the 75% twice (maybe 3 but I will say 2 to be safe) Edited November 12, 2014 by Ninjamander Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archistopheles Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this fraud?... DE has the right to give us free potatoes, or nothing at all, and everything inbetween if they want to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And there's one flaw in yours: warframe is not so "international" as you think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myself I got the 75% twice (maybe 3 but I will say 2 to be safe) more population doesnt necessarily mean more warframe players. there could be a lower proportion of warframe players compared to the total population in china than another country, say the US Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)IIIDevoidIII Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 If this is intended, it is certainly for marketing. This just released in China, yes? What does the Chinese F2P market generally get addicted to? Things they invest money in. If it is cheap, they invest more. I think it's more about establishing presence in a market where F2P games range into the thousands, more than anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appologise if my first post sound rude, was not my intention. Now I admit im curious to get more info about warframe playerbase. Having stats would be neat or idk.

They had an info graphic back in march. Warframe does, in fact, have players in every country in the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not an easy thing to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiabolusUrsus Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 DE has the right to give us free potatoes, or nothing at all, and everything inbetween if they want to. Pretty sure what he meant was masking the IP, not the actual uneven distribution of discounts. As in, masking your IP would probably get you banned, at the very least.

direcyphre Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 I've gotten 75% a few times myself, and a variety of other percentages in between. I'm not sure how one would draw the conclusion that all of Chinese players are receiving a discount by default for their login reward just by looking at a few images of people getting them.

I would certainly invest more if I ever get more "rewarding" rewards for doing so, heh. Kinda odd to only reward people who have not yet been drawn into the system, and leave out the majority who are already part of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you know a bit of Chinese go check out their warframe community. Talk about this discount overflow is all over the place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
