Detheroc Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 (edited) You know, the one "Sell unwanted prime parts, use that currency to buy parts you actually need!". What happened to that? Did DE ever cancel that intent officially? Or did they just silently changed it for reasons i hope are not true (players that missed the prime mods will buy them for plat, so they have to buy plat first, so DE gets money).EDIT: I am aware of how Baro Ki'teer works. Please dont explain that to me. Read my topic again. Edited January 6, 2015 by Detheroc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imaru Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 There are kiosks in the relays from which to sell your stuff, and the reader himself shows up periodically to sell stuffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Institute-Marksman Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Void trader is available in Hubs, but I don't think we'll ever get to buy Prime Parts. It makes the Void obsolete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShioriShi Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 He has shown up twice, and you sell your prime parts at the hubs, and use that currency to buy parts from the trader when he shows up (once every two weeks). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alphafox Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 What happened is what always happen, DE say they will do something and does the total opposite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habba Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 He is only avaible for some days every few weeks . He will be here at friday in the evening at 18:00 GMT +1 . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kasumi- Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 I don't believe it was ever said that we could get other prime parts from him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detheroc Posted January 6, 2015 Author Share Posted January 6, 2015 There are kiosks in the relays from which to sell your stuff, and the reader himself shows up periodically to sell stuffs. I am well aware of that. DE advertised him as some sort of token system, where we trade our unwanted parts for parts we need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RawGritz Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 (edited) Yes as stated above, he has come twice already. He sells unique items that can only be obtained from him like Prime Flow, Dera Detron, Prime Continuity and so on..

RawGritz Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 I am well aware of that. DE advertised him as some sort of token system, where we trade our unwanted parts for parts we need. Nope. they never said that. They said you trade your prime parts, which you can at kiosks, to get a new currency "Ducats". You use those ducats to buy unique items from the Trader. It's a great system, keeps void mission travels viable, and give us something to do with all the extra Prime pieces we have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilverZs Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Yes as stated above, he has come twice already. He sells unique items that can only be obtained from him like Primed Flow, Mara Detron, Primed Continuity and so on.. There, fixed that for you. And no, DE never stated we would ever be able to purchase 'the prime parts you need'. The only statement that was made in regards to the Void Trader was by Sheldon, where he stated, "be able to do something with all those unused prime parts".

Morec0 Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Void trader is available in Hubs, but I don't think we'll ever get to buy Prime Parts. It makes the Void obsolete. Pretty much this. I'm hoping that, perhaps, Void Keys will become a part of his rotations one day so we can trade out those unwanted Prime parts for a shot at the ones we want, and maybe with the Keys being removed from the Syndicates this is coming soon?

Trade a part that drop in T4 exclusively for another part that drop in T4. You don't need a PhD in physic to think of something that simple.

xethier Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 this void trader would be fine if the drops in the void hadn't been altered to seriously reduce the frequency of parts / blueprints that can be traded to him. (and making these new prime items even more difficult to acquire) add in the alterations to sabotage by removal of the second part (due to an exploit... yeah. exploit... :/ ) and you get a recipe for angry players.

You mean instead of running T1/2 missions, get parts to sell for plat in trading, then buy the parts you need from other players? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Hmmm, I've got a lot of T4 Exterminate keys, but only a few T4 Defense keys... I know! I'll run these Exterminate missions, which are MUCH easier and require MUCH less skill, and just trade off the parts for those harder-to-get Defense mission parts!" Or will you divide them further now? At which point is the Void trader even bringing anything useful to bear other than a "I ran this mission once and got one Prime part, I'll trade it for that other, more valuable Prime part that I didn't get". You mean instead of running T1/2 missions, get parts to sell for plat in trading, then buy the parts you need from other players? Except on a MUCH more simplified level - because in player-trading you'll have to have parts that people are interested in buy in the first place. And that's not exactly as simple as you want to make it sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 The usual happened. The playerbase assumed the new feature would work in a particular way, that way being convenient, useful, and good for the players, because said feature was advertised in an ambiguous enough way to allow for those dreams... while those that have been around for years suspected that it would only bring more and more grind, as usual.

RNG is RNG skills doesn't matter. If a player enjoy playing extermination missions instead of defense mission i don't see what is so wrong with allowing him to trade a part of EQUAL RARITY for another part.

(i don't care that it's unreasonable, i'm still blaming you) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because, as with any good game, players are rewarded for surpassing challenges, where is the player being challenged if they can just sit on the bottom step, throw a ball up at the top, and knock down anything they want to them? No, as with any game, as the reward increases, difficulty increases, and the skills the player needs to be able to demonstrate to earn that reward increases.
