Agentawesome Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 As said in the title. This is mostly to overcome skipping most bosses to the void for primes. Also, it forces quest frames to be played when thier primes are released. It would also be nice to be able to switch to the regular skin from primes to keep the aesthetics. Thoughts?

BlazenFury Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 No. makes no sense at all since our frames are mass produced and prime variants are their own thing. the skin thing is nice, but primes can already use normal frames' helmets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rechot Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 (edited) i feel like people would find a way to complain. Also some people would argue the same for weapons but some weapons like the braton are sold due to it being merely fodder and people would not like building a weapon again to get a weapon. Remember those 3 weeks with the tonfa and other new weps were we had to rebuild old weapons Edited July 21, 2015 by rechot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlazenFury Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 and yet that's completely different because we make new weapons from old ones. you dont make Primes, which drop directly from the void with the bp and everything and came from the orokin era, with the mass produced variants.

Agentawesome Posted July 21, 2015 Author Share Posted July 21, 2015 @ BlazenFury This isnt about lore, its more about the problem with people completely skipping game features and content by directly going to the void. @ rechot Im talking bout frames, not weapons.

BlazenFury Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 and yet you DO completely break the lore if this ever happens make the primes reskinnable to their normal skins if the user also has the normal variant, how about that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It breaks lore anyway even if you say its not about the lore And besides that if people want to support the game then let them Edited July 21, 2015 by ToxicTroublermaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agentawesome Posted July 21, 2015 Author Share Posted July 21, 2015 @ Toxic I dont see how this effects people supporting the game, if its PA, it already comes with everthing built. What part of the lore am I butchering here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stratego89 Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 No. That would break lore. The reason we go and gather pre built parts of the frames is because they are made with lost orokin technology that we are unable to replicate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hypernaut1 Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 (edited) This wouldve been a logical step- but theyve already established a precedent and i dont see them reverting it. It wouldnt "break" lore because they could just come up with a reason why you would need the original frame leveled to 30. They could make up anything like- Your tenno needs the mental imprint from a fully leveled frame in order to control an advanced prime or some BS like that. come on people- stop with the "it will break lore' excuse. Prime lore is already wonky as it is anyway. Edited July 21, 2015 by Hypernaut1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What part of the lore am I butchering here? People dont have to go to the void to get the parts they can buy in tradechat for plat they have bought. The lore being butchered is that regular versions as mass produced knockoffs. while the Primes are original models. Using a mass produced knockoff being used to make a superior original makes no sense. You cant make an original with a later version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vomder Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 hell no, having to build things to build other things is beyond annoying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninja-Kid Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 You do realize that you're asking to remove one of the main value propositions of buying prime items for plat off the trade chat... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grachuss Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 you want to introduce more grinding into the game then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soju. Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Hell no. This idea was already really stupid from the start, when weapons require other weapons to craft. Why can't we just use the resources that are needed to craft the weapons that is required to craft this other specific weapon to craft it? But instead a whole piece that's already been crafted? I see no point in that except to make the players to wait an extra day or two and motivate them to use platinums to rush them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)inuyasha279 Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 We use copies to build the originals? Also you don't care about people buying prime access and skipping everything but want to hinder people who work for it? Being a quest frame doesn't matter since you can buy the regular version with plat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightsmith Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Prime Vauban would be a headache, Primed Chroma, Mirage, and Limbo would be impossible as the system currently is. It would be such a minor thing to add. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(XBOX)ShapelessHorr0r Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 No on the basis that Warframe was built from the ground up with freedom in mind. Besides, the starchart is useless and boring at the moment, so forcing people to play it isn't exactly conducive. Also: #Taxi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChloeSakuna Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Again, here are the main arguments I've read i'll add my thoughts.1. This is a super casual game, getting primes before getting a regular frame will break lore.A:True, This wouldn't make any sense for us to gather primes if they were skins and the story would have to be written, Warframes lore is already messed up anything like this would wreck an already delicate web that we put together. 2. We are forced to play what we don't want to play. A: Not everyone is a jack of all trades and some people aesthetically don't always like prime, let them have an option of shiny to non shiny, like in Magic the Gathering not everything needs to be holographic card deck. 3. This will hurt trading. A: True this will hurt trading as you are not going to a skin. If you look at Guild Wars 2 Because stats don't matter but they changed legendary weapons to skins so you had level 1 alts running around with legendary skins which pissed off new players and made them cry for more changes.4. #TaxiA: While I taxi people to alerts all the time because again they are more casual to the game then me I would like to say that this is inevitable for sight. I'm sorry but I don't like to be force fed content, this isn't The Order 1886. 5. Something that should be address is Skins don't always work for all primed things and the artists didn't want their cool primed version to be reskinned over for the most part. (Carrier prime).A: Personally I would love to reskin my carrier prime to look like a parrot again, however i'm ok with the look of carrier prime and my primed access accessories to over look this minor upset.
