[DE]Rebecca 186,953 Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 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!

polarity 2,533 Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 (edited) Could you make them 'milestone' log in rewards? That way they would still be something to signify a player's commitment to the game. Edited July 15, 2016 by polarity Link to post Share on other sites
Kaotyke 34,173 Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 (edited) 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? Edited July 15, 2016 by Venom-Snake Link to post Share on other sites

Senketsu_ 7,192 Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 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. Link to post Share on other sites
Demoonic 1,190 Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 Yes! I would love it if these came back, eeeh on the lato, that was kind of exclusive? But the braton all my yes! Link to post Share on other sites

polarity 2,533 Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 (edited) Also, making them (eventually) available to everyone would allow for rebalancing them, as that would no longer make them an unobtainable, potentially OP item. Edited July 15, 2016 by polarity Link to post Share on other sites
Roboplus 1,638 Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 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. Link to post Share on other sites

Maicael 1,802 Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 (edited) 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.

oshunter124 198 Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 While we are at it can we also bring back braton vandals lovely old firing sounds? Link to post Share on other sites
Vargras 17,445 Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 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.

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. Link to post Share on other sites
.Fire_Fly. 1,697 Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 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: Link to post Share on other sites
Larsurus 2,249 Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 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 ;) Link to post Share on other sites

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. Link to post Share on other sites
