lNogardl Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Regarding the exclusiveness of Frost Prime: I can get both sides, i seriously do, but this is getting out of hand. Here's my situation: I have a job and a life too, and i still had time to at the very least kill 1 SINGLE FUSION MOA to get the bp for frost prime in the event, yeah, that's all you had to do, amazing isn't it? People had enough time to kill at least 1 for like 10 mins of their day, there is no excuse since they even postponed the event till Monday as well. I understand that people that missed would consider not getting Frost prime unfair, but an exclusive is an exclusive, every other game is not so merciful to their exclusives, DE backed out on what they said because they were afraid of people that for whatever reason missed out the event, that they would rage and whine it was unfair. Now there are people raging because it's also unfair since most of them actually spent a whole lot of time grinding to get the UNIQUE AND EXCLUSIVE reward for everyone that participated, both sides have their reasons. I'm not trying to take sides here but i must agree with some people that defend Frost Prime's exclusiveness. So you didn't have 10 mins but you have whole hours to farm for the bp in the void? That's pretty illogical. I suggest next time they don't get to be so merciful, even if I miss it out i will only be mad at myself for missing it. But then again, after what happened they won't to "another time" because people will rage again. What would happen if Excalibur prime suddenly got available in the void? "ERMAGERD I SPENT MONEY AND GOT AN EXCLUSIVE EXCALIBUR PRIME NOW EVERYONE CAN GE IT." See where i'm going at? I could give out examples of games that are not so merciful with their exclusives but i won't bother searching for them right now cause i gotta go to school. Oh yeah i forgot to mention that i go to school too, my last year, still had 10 mins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zhoyzu Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 (edited) ignorance all over your post. some people don't have a gaming PC where ever they go. I know when i leave town i have to hope i dont miss too much good S#&$ because 1 gaming laptops are overpriced and 2 desktops arent exactly mobile. the fact here isnt that DE backed out because people, it was because of the manner in which they chose to release their content. the void would be dead content for those that missed the event since for starters hate is better the the reaper anyways. how ridiculous would it be for you to have missed the event and every time you went to the void came back with a frost prime BP that you cant use... EVER try attempting to think about something from multiple angles before writing a post that makes you look stupid. edit: "a thread to end it" instead you fueled the fire. i hope you dont put out fires with flammables cause eventually you'll be sued by some government for burning down a national park Edited May 28, 2013 by Zhoyzu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fjarri Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 I remember that the frost prime bp was said to be "a taste" of update 8. They were right, it's a bp that would be in update 8 and it sits in your foundry for a long period of time while it takes forever and good luck to get the other parts. I thought it was exclusive, but since a ton had it, I thought that this wouldn't be a big deal if they pulled the Frost Prime bps later, which they might. Its no big loss, I want the frame, not the status of it's rarity, it's the same thing for skins, I want it because it's cool, not because only people in beta or season 1 or whatever have it.

Killist Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 ? You only had to kill 1 fusion moa. what time grinding? I played in the event because it was fun. Cool new enemy that now is rarely seen, plenty of Rubedo, and rewards. What grinding? DE announced towards the end of the even that you only needed to kill 1 fusion moa to get the reward. That was approximately 48 hours after the event started. Before the announcement people were under the impression that we have to reach 100% goal otherwise we all forfeit the reward. So, a lot of people grinded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do see the different angles.2. Like I said, if I was the one who missed it I wouldn't rage. From my point of view people should not even be mad because that's how life works, if you miss the lottery number they won't give you a chance to repeat the number while knowing the result. I didn't want to fuel anything, but that's just how life is, sometimes it's fair, sometimes it's not, I've been raging lately about the alerts I missed but I realise that It's pure luck, some people get it some people don't. Even though the BP wasn't supposed to appear again, that's the whole point of it. Edited May 28, 2013 by Nogard18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will say it again but differently. Everyone was eager to finish the event so that they could be awarded with something great, in the end everyone was happy cause they got something that they thought it would be only available to them, exclusiveness makes people happier whether you like it or not, the whole point of being exclusive is that people think "wow I wish I could have done X so that I could get Y", lots of game do that so that people feel "special". Don't get me wrong, even though I'm arguing about the exclusiveness of Frost prime I'm totally fine about it,I'm just pointing out my view so that people realise it goes many ways and one of them is that it's supposed to be the way I said, they should just watch out next time so that things like this don't happen.

Are you saying Latron Prime and Reaper Prime are dead content aswell? The void is still new, this is update 8 and the game is still in open beta. There will definitely be more content added to the void. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mbgunsling Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Ive said it before. Two (three including monday) is dumb for an exclusive item. If it was an exclusive color set (valentines set) or skin, it wouldnt matter, this is one of the prime warframes. Besides, holiday gear can get cycled every year or so. If your internet is not functioning during the three day period because some monkey in india ruined it, then thats plain unfair. However, I agree that frost primes BP should be buyable for platinum only(his components available through void runs). That way people still have access, but hes still exclusive to a degree. Perhaps something else to indicate that he was part of the event for those lucky enough to get there. I dont care if excal prime gets full release. I paid my 200 so that DEs salaries can be paid, and server costs maintained. The extra frame is a bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BETAOPTICS Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 (edited) I don't think there is a solution to this topic. I understand people who missed it, that they want to have it now since they probably had a reason for it too.I also understand that exclusive is exclusive and what is the point of exclusive if it is not exclusive in the first place? Well, there is none.The way they handled it was that people who put time and effort to it, did worthless job in the end. I did not do anything with Rubedo, the new enemy was cool but I knew it was going to stay so nothing special about it. The only thing that motivated even participating on the event was that exclusive part and now, well, there is no point in participating in events since you get the item anyways and while you avoid the event, not only will you have more fun for not grinding but you get materials and mods you need at the time.Why should the participants suffer from this? They are the ones who gave you the opportunity to get it now in the first place.Well who is to blame if it is not people who had weekend plans and neither the people who did participate and donated their time so that they (later on everyone) could enjoy the reward. Well DE is the one to look at. They messed up because they did not plan ahead, it is their poor communications fault that people missed the event in the first place since they announced the event on Friday and at that time, many people already had weekend plans which is reasonable without a question.Conclusion? Exclusive is exclusive and will always be or there is no point. DE needs to see and learn why proper planning ahead and communication is important. Now that it is too late for Frost Prime, there should be some kind of skin or emblem, whatever works that shows you did participate in the event. This way the ones who did participate and donated their already busy time for this game, get recognition and everyone would still have a chance to obtain something they previously missed.
