DiosGX Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 And we finally see the first "pay to win" items put into Warframe. 100P is completely ridiculous. I'd be scant to pay even 50 for something I can go pick up by fighting Raptor or Vay Hek a few times. Not impressed. At all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayPerth Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 OMG! I thought it was 100 credits! I didn't check, damn it. 300 plat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TennoSimons Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Seems just about fair to me. I bought the neural sensors one. Worth the 100 plat, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, maybe in Pvp, but everything is still attainable without platinum. It's not p2w. That being said, I'm also not a fan of being able to buy resources for platinum.

Angry_Spider Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 if you think this is pay to win you need start thinking a bit more. These rare resources are easier to get without paying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At all. how is it pay to win if you claim that you can easily grab it by doing a boss run? ugh...i need to stop reading some of these threads.

AM-Bunny Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 And we finally see the first "pay to win" items put into Warframe. It's pay4convenience just like every other plat item. If you consider these "pay2win" then the completed resources that have been available since day one are also "pay2win". Pay2win - IMo - entered as soon as trading was introduced and we were able to trade plat for ranked mods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ov3rd0se Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 This seems more veteran player centralized. I have millions of these resources that they're asking for and 100 plat isn't really all that much imo for a reusable blueprint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have no fear tho .. your wallet can save you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AM-Bunny Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Ugh, I was all excited for these items. I don't mind the plat cost, but the resource cost seems steep. Alloy Plates, I've got millions of. But Nano Spores, not so much. I suppose I could farm them out quite easily, but then I could also farm the Neurodes and Neural Sensors quite easily... Not sure how to feel about these :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceheart125 Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 100 plat? i cant afford that. oh well, ill farm the old fashioned way... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rexlars Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 I think the price is justified since you will be able to use the blueprint for literally the rest of eternity— or at least til the game shuts down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thing is, they can just make future gear take less of those "rare" resources with a bp. And just make up a new resource like... mmm, I don't know. Tellurium? Then later on maybe some other time sensitive resource if Argon is too predictable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Braini Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Let's skip the fact that it's 100 plat for the blueprint. The resources needed to make them are RIDICULOUS. 50k nano, 50k alloy and 25k salvage ?! I have 126k salvage in total and I don't remember using it for anything lately... that means I can craft 5. I should've checked the resource cost 1st.

OperatorTabris Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Why wouldn't they sell the blueprints for a high amount of credits and then make the crafting recipes difficult? Or put a longer crafting time on purchased blueprints? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But no matter what, that resource will be a thing in-game. You will always need them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mesyra Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 yeah these prints are not worth it and DE, please listen for a moment. DO NOT decrease the drop rates of those resources in order to boost sales. that is going to end REALLY bad for you guys. That's the fast track to a dead game with no community, its been done before, and its never worked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrahlTiger Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 It sounds like a bit of a prelude to "Hey, these are going to get WAY more rare." I've seen it happen a bunch of times in different areas. When open beta first started, R5 cores were the most common core drop...I remember using them very frivolously. I mean c'mon, I have over 80 cells sitting in storage without even trying for them...and that's after building every single cell-sucking prime weapon. So I can see them becoming a little more rare. That, of course, is all speculation, though. I will agree with Overdose, that it seems VERY veteran focused. I have over 2 million alloy, and even with my insane crafting of health/energy restores, I still am over 1 million spores, and probably half a million salvage just piling up with no use. So, while I think the resource cost is still a tad high (C'mon, DE these rare resources aren't THAT rare), I don't mind having a sync for those unused material piles. Also, people need to rope in their expectations. 100 plat is more than reasonable. That's the cost of buying 10 of the resources on the market, except you're gaining the ability to craft as many as you want, resources permitting, for basically the rest of time this game is running. Seems a more than reasonable plat cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayPerth Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Neural sensors and orokin cells are very easy to get, only the neurodes one is "maybe" worth to buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
