Not To Add Fuel To A Fire But

[DrRandom7]

This whole nonsense with the frost primes being exclusive is getting extremely out of hand, I'm not taking any sides here and I do understand the slight sense of mistrust? I guess from what was said and what happened, but regardless, it feels as though people are getting too engrossed into such a trivial matter, these comparisons made to the vandals and to the primes from the packs I've seen..

 

Primes required money from the packs, vandals required the shaping and feedback on a closed beta, all the frost prime required was logging in on a weekend, killing one moa and that was it, I'm just befuddled by the overwhelming sense of entitlement to something that took around 5 minutes to obtain.

 

We're not even talking about the frame itself, we're talking about the blueprints.

 

And to further add to this point, these people are making these assumptions based on the idea that this is deliberate, we don't even know if it's in the loot tables by accident.

Can somebody link me to where DE promised the FP BP was an exclusive reward? I can't for the life in me remember seeing it said.

[muccmaster]

Completely agree OP. There's far bigger problems in the game than this.

This was said in another thread roaming around in a different forum. There were direct quotes from a livestream.

 

Moving on, as I said in the other thread, no, it was not just "kill one fusion moa". Many people had to kill a ton of moas to complete the event first, so that one-kill mooching of the event reward could be a thing. Yes, I think it's mooching.

 

Without the people like myself who killed hundreds of fusions, nobody would've gotten it. The people like us who did invest hours of time in what was supposed to be an exclusive reward deserve to be upset by this, so long as we voice our discontent with respect for them as people. Mindless ranting is, indeed, not okay.

Trust me. The fusion moa event did not take 5 minutes to complete.

I think the reward is awesome but it does need components from update 8. If you think this is "grindception" it's a fair point. But this type of reward was originally going to be Platinum only! There is a wack of credits as well. In live stream we'll lay out some stats and give props to players and clans that rocked the Fusion Moas.

You don't need to be online to get reward. You just need to have killed at least one Fusion Moa.

Future goals may or may not be as grindy. Totally open to flames and feedback but don't lose sight of the high XP, credits and exclusivity of this reward. Future ones probably won't be as good, IMO.

It's this post.

I'm still neutral on the topic but yeah, they did say it was exclusive.

So your saying DE is incompetent? Cause its pretty hard to screw that up.

I didn't say they screwed up, I'm simply saying that it isn't 100% that it's in their on purpose.

Yeah, the Primes being exclusive makes sense because money. But you didn't even have to play the game to get the Vandals. So long as you had a Closed Beta key and were signed on for one weekend to grab the Vandal for one credit, you got the Lato and Braton Vandals. Juuust saying. And yes, I own both.

 

The problem is that what DE said wasn't true regarding exclusivity, and a statement has not yet been made about it. This, alongside the Forma, Clan Dojo, Reaper Blade and Latron Reciever issues means that, yes, people are mad. They have a right to be mad. Not a right to screech and gibber, or go on long insulting tirades to DE, but a right to be mad, and a right to post feedback on a forum. And yes, both content and volume of posts are feedback.

Nope, your wrong, MOA event is not just loggin, and kill an fusion moa.

I had people, asking, begging, working, getting killed several time just get to kill a fusion moa.

I just petty those who asked hard, worked hard, getting killed for a fusion moa now;

And those players like me offered help on global chat until the very last second of event.

(Aren't we a bunch of clowns?)

They didn't actually say it was exclusive to the event, but that's nitpicking

Last line. "Exclusivity of this reward". The word reward in particular does relate it directly to the event, I think, but I dunno.

That said... I think the Frost Prime should be available to everyone. I mean, they put a lot of work into the Warframe, so it shouldn't really be a thing where only the people present at the time can get it (along with the associated mastery points). The problem now is that the people who did put a lot of effort into the event - yes, I know some only killed one Fusion MOA, but I'm not talking about them - now... didn't really get a reward at all. 100k credits is basically one Exterminate III Void run. The Frost Prime parts are rare enough that there's a decent likelihood of you getting the Frost Prime blueprint while grinding for the parts, cause they're found in the same area, so it's not really like it's any harder for people who weren't there during the event.

Those in the event didn't get it earlier, nor more easily, or... anything. They got a blueprint that couldn't be utilised until the blueprint itself was released, to be grinded for in the same area where they'd be grinding the parts. I can imagine that'd be disheartening.

As I said, it's nitpicking, but if you want I can explain why the grammar is ambiguous enough that you probably couldn't sue them for it :P

In the video linked by Second_Measure, it is quite clearly said, starting at around 25:40: "I suppose this operation sets their expectations for the future - only a hundred thousand credits and only an exclusive, like, prime blueprint"

It's like those people who say "No offense, but..." then go on to say the most offensive thing you ever heard.
