But that's how microtransactions get you. Tell me how I can buy only 20 plat and you get a cookie. And yeah, TERA founders is 20$ or whatever equivalent in €. It's the title you get in the package ffs. Founders. Seems like someone hasn't logged on in a while. Collectors edition is different and you can't input the code in backwards for any of them pre-December 2012 for a secondary mount + bonus items. I like how you diverged back to plat and warframe cause the TERA point got blown out the water. You just wait, plat prices are gonna get revamped because monetizing a game in beta is disgusting.

Daffan Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 Platinum would be worthless if you could use credits for slots. Right now there is only 3 items woorth platinum. Slot/ Slot / Potato Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't say anything about a secondary mount, on release there were still collectors edition etc, and I already had a valid version pre launch, also I had the closed beta access, I wasn't the only one that did it that way, gameforge simply messed up the launch,my guild had over 100 members, thanks to the launch and terrible item distribution they've left the game shortly after because people were sick of their game politics. and also calling tera founder is simply a lie, the game was already founded it's out of the beta for a long time, it launched arleady a long time ago, that's anything from a real founder, and as daffan said, only slots and potatoes (and maybe forma) are plat worthy and these stuff are max 20plat each. ps and the only PLAT ONLY contents are colours and slots take away the slots now you have only few colourpacks which you can get only by platinum. they've said they've revamp the platinum prices, not because of the potaotes, but weapons/frames Edited June 21, 2013 by SeiraSunmin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterG Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 (edited) All games cost money to play. The difference with free to play games is that the smaller few pay more, which allows some people to pay nothing. Developers have to manage a fragile balance between not restricting people playing for nothing, and "encouraging" people to spend real cash. Personally I think DE have got it right for the most part. THere isn't anything except colours that you cant get for free (using time instead of money) BUT You pay for convenience, either to get stuff faster, or to have more warframes to play with at any one time. If you pay nothing, you can still play as every war frame, the only downside is that you have to "sell" one to start a new one, or pay real money to keep them. Sounds pretty fair to me.

Countess_Hapmuhr Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 The game has the "free to play" feel but the major issue I've had is insufficient item and warframe slots. Having only 6 weapons at a time and only 2 warframes at a time feels very restricting. For a free to play person like me, I'd rather not spend money on something i don't have to. I believe making inventory slots purchasable for in-game credits would boost the free to play sense of the game. (this is the only major conflict i have with warframe as it is the only thing you can't get with ingame credits/grinding) I'll tell you what I usually tell people that complain about this: You've played the game and now you're getting serious. DE's bills are also serious, surely there is some kind of compromise you can reach here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZWarhammer Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 lol tired of people asking for more slots, this is a f2p you are not entitled to sh*t xD the whole point of slots is to entice you to spend money why do you think there are slots there to begin with ?

CerebrateJoe Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 I think they have given generously. I like that it is free-to-play in that there is no monthly fee and I did not need to buy the game. They also were great when they didn't make it a pay-to-win game. I'm glad to be a founder and support this game. I hope you will too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinotik Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 Usually F2P game are pay for convenience. Inventory slot is exactly that, convenience. Same for time rush in foundry. Delete your frame and weapon you don't use or use your starter 50 plat to buy slot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatpig84 Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 Still hoping to see DE implement slots for Mastery ranks though. It would be a nice incentive instead of just levelling for guns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watlok Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 (edited) If you want extra frames pay for the slots. Otherwise, delete the frame you don't plan on using often so you can claim the one you plan on using. If you want to go back to maining the old frame remake it. It's clearly working as intended if something you want but don't need at all to play costs platinum. Platinum is also cheaper than you think with the 50% off daily bonus or a founder pack.
