Are The Primes Getting Removed?

Is it confirmed that the next prime will be Saryn? I have heard rumors of a Nekkros or Oberon Prime. In the past they add a male Prime and then a female (Ex. Ash Prime, then Trinity), so it would make no sense to do more females.

The pattern on primes is not male-female-male-female, it is male-male-female-female. Nyx, Nova, Volt, Ash, Trinity, Saryn. Also, Saryn was announced at the NYC comicon, during the afterparty as I recall. Vid is on Youtube.

so lets say that we have ten trucks for delivery, and a really bad map, so even though they are all set to deliver different things, and you might order one specific thing, only one or two of those trucks might ever make it to you. 

 

Now imagine if instead of ten trucks, we had ten trucks two years ago, but every time a new prime came out, we added another... 8 trucks every prime release. Well, still, you might only see one or two of those trucks ever, but the chances of you getting the truck you asked for becomes significantly lower if we just keep adding trucks to our delivery service. Bad maps, you see, we can't read 'em. Dunno directions for nothing. 

 

So, to remedy that there conondrum, we keep the same ten trucks, but rotate our stocks so that the oldest items, that people have had the largest chance to get, are rotated out, and you can still count on our really abyssmal truck delivery service, and its poor chances of helping you.

that was a pretty poor analogy for a pretty simple concept.

The more items there are in the drop tables the lower the chance of getting any one particular item. They remove a prime to make space for another, but that doesn't mean that the old prime is gone forever. They will all come back at some point and will likely all remain once the star chart rework is shipped, but for now people are stocking up on parts to give or sell to other players once rhino is gone (and yes he will be going next as he released after ember). His removal from the tables will be announced once trinity prime access ends and saryn prime access's teaser is launched. If the star chart rework doesn't ship within the next three months Loki prime will be next to join the vault and then he truly will be invisible. And as for speculation on who will be Saryns successor, the next prime after her will be male and the very plausible theories point to Nekros or Vauban. Personally I'd enjoy a Bone-&#! Prime.

Incorrect, the Prime after Saryn should be female. 

 

Prime frame rotation goes: male, male, female, female etc.

 

Normal frame rotation goes: male, female, male, female etc.

 

The rotation's are based on the release order of previous frames and prime frames.

volt, ash, trinity, saryn......

Instead of artificially making items rare and unobtainable they should fix the system.

They vault Primes to make "place" for the new ones. Clearly the true issue is the system how you obtain them so instead of pushing out half baked event they might actually take a look at key gameplay components...

The whole making room argument is just....

When you have an item with 60% drop chance and one with 1% drop chance and you release a new 1% drop you in no way shape or form need to cut old 1% drop and "vault" it. You just put it in and reduce junk drop chance to 59%. But that would slightly reduce grind. So they avoid it.

yeah, i think they just want to give off the impression that these items are equally weighted (it wasn't meant to get out)

God forbid they have to tweak the values on that paris prime lower limb

I notice a very distinct trend. primes seem to be getting vaulted left right and center and never see the light of day again. so I wondered, will primes get removed, will we be stuck with normal stuff? atleast let us buy the primes in the market.

when a new prime comes out, and old prime gets vaulted, and frost was re-released for a limited time, so will all the others

The real question at hand, is when is Excalibur Prime coming back?

You cheeky bastard  

Personally...i just want banshee prime so all can be right with the world again. Throw in galatine prime for shiggles

Shes long overdue imo and needs some love

If Saryn or the next two males don't come with Sybaris Prime, Banshee absolutely has to.
