Update 17.12.0

You all thought these skins will be limited. That's it. You thought you could buy these skins and show off to everyone else who weren't able to buy them in one way or another. Now that the only barrier to them is plat, you're enraged that you can't feel "better" than the poor fools who couldn't obtain them.

I don't blame you completely. Sadly Warframe is built on this sort of thought process with its many event-only items and limited time shops. But the fact of the matter is that you weren't cheated. At the end of the day, whether it was limited or not, you bought a product and it's still available to you. Only now, more people can enjoy it with you. What's wrong with that?

You really ... really ... don't get it do you? No one so far has complained about what you're saying here. No one.

The complaint people have is the unreliable switch in sales tactics.

 

Silly you. ^^

So what we got this time:
Really nice Rhino skin (thank you, DE)
"New" Warframe (Well, kinda nice)
New resource available only from alert (OMG, DE, why? 1 reason I got now to play warframe is new warframe (I got almost everything in this game) and it will take, like, two weeks to make this one. So, I will pass. Better play some other game with friends)
Double XP weekend (I dont need level up anything now, except Wukong, who I try to get after U18, I guess)
So, I was hyped when I saw update, but now (After seeing new resource especially) it's more like "meh, new sking and tons of grind again"

Of course no one's openly complaining about it using that reason. And stop trying to undermine my intelligence with "Oh you~" statements. And you're STILL missing the point.

 

 

So those skins will stay here forever in market? If yes then im extremly happy.

 

 

Yes, which is a good thing.

 

Interesting....

 

 

Quite a few of us bought this skin BECAUSE it was available for a limited time (even with the clear indications it might return yearly like some of the proto-skins). I bought several without even having the weapons/warframes for them because I really regretted buying the proto-excal skin the first time around.

 

It's a marketing tactic, which is fine.

 

You feel cheated though when they suddenly become available for all time. Right now I'm sitting on several skins (worth hundreds of plats) because I bought them on a just-in-case basis. If I had known that they would become permanently available in the near future I wouldn't have bought half of them.

Gotta love it when people make it this easy. You can disagree with my opinion on the subject, but at least my opinion doesn't flip flop.

I don't consider them "poor fools". Devstreams talk in advance about the release of these skins and hype them up. We knew they were coming and shouldn't be surprised they cost plat. Buying something limited to have that title stripped away is an insult to any collector anywhere. You can't re-make a 1975 nickle or a first edition book. I feel as though the thing I paid for is no longer the thing I received.

DE please stop bundling accessories in these exclusive packs. I want to buy the new syndana, but I never play Rhino or use Jat Kittag, so this is a waste for me and I won't buy the bundle. So now I miss out on a cool syndana and I'm left with a bad feeling because I'm missing out due to you trying to be greedy or something. Please stop, I love this game and want to support it but I not if this carries on.

EDIT: Just saw that I can't use platinum to buy the new community made skins from steam workshop. I'm seriously never spending another cent on this game.

That's on you. Never did DE say with -any- of the skins that they will forever be limited edition. If you think that's cause for a refund, go right ahead. In my opinion it's not, and those who say it is make me shake my head. But go ahead and see if they'll refund your purchase. Normally I'd say I doubt they would, but DE has always been apologetic.

Am I the only one to mention that this update is filled with so, so many sexual refrences:

vzSBVaS.jpg

 

"...WUKONG, a trickster at heart has arrived with his beating stick that grows with each use!..." (-licks lips-.. I mean, what?)

 

"...This is certainly the most 'banging' update yet - Wukong and his stick, Rhino and his co (Yes DE, where were you going with this one hmmm?)..."

 

"...It's got it all, Tenno. Open wide!...." (hmmm, kinky?)

 

 

"This is WuKong, the enduring, the swift....." (lol, ok then, so WuKong is really long lasting.......?)

 

"WuKong pokes his enemys[...]causing them to keel over"  (this is what seems to happen in pornos. The male specimen takes it all out and causes the female species to keel over :P)

 

Ok here's the biggest one: "Speak softly and carry a big stick................" (Why yes indeed DE, i'll speak softly into your ear.... -licks lips once more-)

 

"Adding mods will royally increase his greatness......" (this sounds like a sex pill add....)

 

"Everyones got something to hide Tenno..... Except WuKong......"  (Sounds like he's got a massive hard on he can't hide :P)

My opinion doesn't flip-flop (again you're doing it, but I love you so here's a hearth; <3).

 

I'm totally fine with them being permanent skins, I never said I wasn't.

 

I clearly stated I feel cheated because of the unreliable change in sales tactics on DE's side.

 

Please, stop this. You have been accusing people of a lot of things by now, all because you fail to read their posts or because you make assumptions based on things which have not been said.

Gersemi Valkyr dropped on Oct. 1st

 

That's real limited alright. a whole month.

 

Saryn's skin barely got taken from the market a week or two ago.

I'm just trying to backpedal, don't mind me.

 

Okay, I'll ignore you if that's what you wish. <3

Okay? I know exactly when they were dropped. I got those skins as well. My post was stating that DE never said any of the skins would be forever limited. That would include those two skins as well.

They already clearly stated that it's a Steam Workshop situation, and not something they wanted to intentionally be exclusive too. They will make them available via plat in the future once it's sorted out.

 

Not going to say much regarding your hyperbolic comment at the end (via "never spending another cent on this game") over something trivial as skins. It is your prerogative after all.

Walking away instead of using arguments (and accusing me of back paddling when I'm responding to your back paddling posts).

 

Very disappointing.

 

Sorry, the argument is done, and you ended it by being a hypocrite. Suck it up, learn from your mistakes,and move on. You're being ignored from now on.

You're kinda stretching on a few of those but I see what you're getting at. However "Speak softly and carry a big stick" is a quote from Theodore Roosevelt when advising the tactic of caution and non-aggression, backed up by the ability to do violence if required.

you seem have no idea about the meaning of 'Limited' dude. 

 

actually I don't care about money, I don't care about skins, whatever, it's just meaningless outfit in virtual world.

I even don't expect DE will take some action about this. I paid and it's gone. it was just complaining. 

 

The point is they tricked. okay?

 

please think first before you say something. your attitude really make me disgusting.

when i see TIME limited i know it means it's available for a limited time and it will come back in the future (which is what is happening now)

if you bought the items just so you can have something not everyone has access to ... let's just say u got what u deserved.

 

Quite a few of us bought this skin BECAUSE it was available for a limited time (even with the clear indications it might return yearly like some of the proto-skins). I bought several without even having the weapons/warframes for them because I really regretted buying the proto-excal skin the first time around.

 

It's a marketing tactic, which is fine.

yes it's a cheap marketing tactic i agree and it's despicable but expected at this point in history from a company that needs to make money. the bigger fault is in you for buying something you don't really want just for the exclusive status. learn, grow and get over it.

Wow...the Valkyr Gersemi skin is already back...? First a time-exclusive bait and make it permanent again after a few weeks. well done...

I'm not sure this is like... actually illegal, or just grimy. 

I know when RIOT brought back Limited skins, they refunded people, cause otherwise it's sort of a scam...

I don't buy it for the exclusive status (not to mention these "time limits" cycle yearly with DE so everyone can get it, it's not exclusive). I buy them because I skipped on proto-excal when it came out the first time (didn't play excal back then) and kept regretting it for over a year.  

 

And I'm actually pro-permanency. Hated the fact proto-excal was time limited.

 

My point (several pages back) is that first DE lures you into a quick buy (with a time exclusive limit, which until now have always been on a yearly cycle) only to make the same skins permanent several weeks later. That's a very cheap trick to pull on loyal fans.   

 

They should have made it permanent from the start.
