Prime Time #126: Vandal Reaction Poll

[[DE]Rebecca 186,603]

At the end of Prime Time #126, Steve discussed a very old but simple topic: returning the Braton Vandal and Lato Vandal.

At around the 58m56s mark, Steve asks about the Vandal Situation.

In this poll, we ask you how you would feel if these weapons that currently signify Closed Beta and Open Beta Weekend attendance returned to be acquired by current players.

This poll is rooted in opinion and feeling, so feel free to elaborate as well.
This poll also isn't necessarily a promise to return them, just a follow up to the Stream's discussion.
 

Thanks!

Oh god... i feel bad things will happen here.

[Shawn_Carter 139]

Would love for these to return.

[Wandering_Cyberdragoness 734]

well, we see how this poll will go already. Imma wager 97% for and 3% against by the time all is said and done.

Could you make them 'milestone' log in rewards?  That way they would still be something to signify a player's commitment to the game.

As someone who did not get both... I say no.

No, I believe they were gifts, should they ever need to return, maybe whent the game gets out of Beta?

Is it better than braton prime?

Interesting point that maintains a meta-signifier of sorts.

Me beeing someone who has been playing very early after the game entered Open beta and has spent $500+ on the game. I would love to have a chance to bet these bad boys. Because i am also a completionist. 

[Demoonic 1,190]

Yes! I would love it if these came back, eeeh on the lato, that was kind of exclusive? But the braton all my yes! 

[AsahiOka 2,220]

^This. Maybe for 400. and 500. day login?

Also, making them (eventually) available to everyone would allow for rebalancing them, as that would no longer make them an unobtainable, potentially OP item.

I wouldn't bat an eye if everyone could get Excal/Skana Prime for free, and I paid a hundred dollars for it.

Absolutely bring the Vandals back.

does that mean those that have not spent so much are in some way less significant

I don't think they're something that the majority of people who don't have them would use on a regular basis, so as much as I like Vandals I'm fine with them staying with those around for when they were released as something special for those players, even though I only missed it by a few weeks.

 

Edit: The Login reward idea sounds like a pretty good compromise. Only thing about that is you'll have more posts comparing ease of acquirement to other weapons in the market and power comparisons like what happened with the Azima.

While we are at it can we also bring back braton vandals lovely old firing sounds?

 

 

[Vargras 17,445]

I definitely don't care if the Braton Vandal came back. It was only available for a single weekend in the entirety of Warframe's existence, and you had to know to buy it from the market for 1 credit in order to get it.

I'm a little more stuck on the Lato Vandal though, as that seemed more like a reward to all the folks who participated in the closed beta. Given how both are kinda statistically irrelevant at this point though, given powercreep and everything else, I can't really think of legitimate reasons not to bring them back.

Ready for a S#&$storm from founders.

not at all. I wasnt able to participate in founders becasue I didnt have a job at the time, so I missed out on getting the Prime of my favorite frame. I was just stating that this game is worth the money I have put into it early on even though I am not a founder.

yes yes please return them

i had lato vandel once when i first started and sold it before i leveled it

now i regret it so much D:

[Larsurus 2,227]

First of all, I do not have these weapons. If they do return, they should signify some sort of long time commitment seeing as they were originally closed beta gifts (correct me if I'm wrong). And give them a proper buff while you're at it ;)

You can ask for it back through support. Generally on the topic of selling stuff like that, excalibur prime and other non-obtainable weapons they're generally lenient on giving stuff like that back.
