KisaPrime Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 At least this is how I understand it, that they do this buy popularity and less people play Banshee vs Valkyr. I know I don't play banshee and never fixed her up to be playable in the first place. I would have to say if you want an older frame to be primed then a lot of people will have to be playing them often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(PSN)CommanderC2121 Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Its fing stupid if you ask me. screw valk p. Most boring frame to play (hit 4, invincible) At least banshee is valuable to a team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gladeus-Ex-Machina Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 I actually prefer Banshee to Valkyr, mostly because Soprana > Gersemi. .... ... ... I'll show myself out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is odd since Resonance Banshee + AOE weapon wrecks everything. Probably because she's so fragile so either you're master parkour that never stops moving or you kills everything before they get in range. And a lot of people don't like using survival mods like Vitality or Redirection because it's "NOT OPTIMAL". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noobverest Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 If it was based on popularity, shouldn't it be mirage. I see a lot more mirages than valkyr. I don't really see many valkyrs or banshee's. Then again I don't really play anything outside of sorties, hierarcon, Sedna capture (for kuva), and rift fissures (where ever they take me) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're talking about NOW aren't we? Since it's prime access for christmas, shouldn't the more popular frame get the spotlight? That's how it was for Nova prime last year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLSH_BNG Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Savage Silence on my Banshee with a Covert Lethality dagger is deadlier than any Ash could hope to be. I can wait for Banshee Prime, I just want the older frames to get the PBR treatment sometime this decade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ascarith Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Personally much more interested in Banshee than Valkyr. Also slightly irked because I've been wanting to potato my Banshee (but haven't, since her Prime was next in line. Now I got to wait even longer...). Also doesn't give me a good feeling about what's going to happen when (or if) Zephyr's turn rolls around. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xgomme Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Imo it's a bad move, Ash was not popular compared to Loki before his PA. But then people understood the cheese, and you see a lot of Ash. Since Banshee is really really strong, imo the same thing could happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)HAHAHA-OH-WOW Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 It boils down to sales. Way more likely to have someone ask for Valkyr Prime Access for Christmas than Banshee. DE makes more money in that case. No matter who you like better frame-wise, I think we can all agree DE making more money benefits us all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midrib Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 The fact that she's underplayed should've been an incentive for DE to prime her, Before Nekros's changes and his prime I didn't really see many Nekros players outside of farm sessions, When they dropped I saw a rapid influx of Nekros prime and till this day I still see Nekros. Priming banshee would've been the perfect time to increase her popularity and DE could've given her few QoL changes that insure that she stays popular, and many people would've still gotten the PA. I'm rather disappointed, it just sad to see DE miss or rather ignore an opportunity to revive a beauty of a frame like Banshee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Akeva-Banshee- Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 (edited) It's Nova Prime all over again. Don't get me wrong, I ended up liking Nova Prime because it was fan made Frame. Valkyr Really? I was saving money to spend on Banshee PA, But nope not getting a cent from me for Valkity Prime. Besides Cernos Prime would have made a lot more sense with Banshee. Claws yeah II can see that for Valkyr tho. Edited November 20, 2016 by -Akeva-Banshee- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's usually Nekros, Rhino, Loki, Ash, Mirage, Nova, Frost, Inaros, Excalibur, and Ember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claws yeah II can see that for Valkyr tho. Cernos prime was chosen for our goddess Valkitty prime because it's holster style looks slightly like wings. Making it fit perfectly with valkittys "background lore" aka the fact that she's meant to be a Valkerie/Berserker. Though yes I agree with you regarding the Venka prime fitting her well as well.

Anything new is bound to be played a lot. Now, I don't see Nekros Prime at all outside of random defense and survival missions for the farm. Banshee will be no different. She'll see heavy usage when she's primed, then quickly be forgotten, because no one likes Banshee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
