Season 2 Helmet Blueprints?

[CH33F]

I'm sure most of you have seen the helmets revealed in the past two livestreams. I think it would be a good idea to requre the season 1 helmets in the blueprint for season 2 helmets. It would be progress, and so you could either show off your seniority in the game, or show that you support DE with your purchases. Seeing that the helmets are currently fairly easy to get, especially with the newly revamped alert system, I don't think that would be too outlandish of a requirement. What do you guys think?

[Archistopheles]

I think they call them "Tier 2" helmets.

 

 

But I could be mistaken.

[Dtexas]

Hmm. Interesting idea. But I think the new helmets should be put in a different alert system for a different system of planets.

[AscendantWyvern]

I'm not a huge fan of that idea, new helmets should be a reward on their own and worth their own purchase instead of having people grumbling themselves into purchasing another helmet just for a new one. If you ask me, mo restrictions, mo problems.

I don't know if this is what you mean, but there undoubtedly will be an option to buy them for plat, with no prior helmet requirement. But the new helmets should at least do something better than the current ones, so... it would be an upgrade, like the Dual Vipers.

I assume these new helmets will other different stat augmentations and therefore should be separate entities so we can continue to change them out as need be. Either way, I would not want to lose one helmet to get another and I frequently like to change my character's aesthetics in games.

I don't enjoy the idea of one helmet being superior to another for the sake of power creep.

 

Phonebox put it quite well.

I think its a bad idea some of the helmets right now are a bit useless while some are good so requiring you to obtain or buy a crappy useless helmet you don't want to get a better helmet is a bit much.

[Whyan]

Helmets better be side-grade options as it is pretty stupid to make them superior to the current helmets. Gives variety, options and more builds/setups.

[BlueQuail]

Would rather them finish with some type of "body/arms/legs" modifications.

[EetNotErn]

Please. No unnecessary annoying restrictions implemented just to show off your e-peen. We already have hard to get weapons and I'm fine with that but how about we leave the more or less cosmetic helms out of it.

[YugTaht]

do we know when these are coming out? or is there no date yet

[FlanShark]

Lousy idea. The new helmets are supposed to expand customisation, not make customisation harder for the majority of players to achieve.

[Archon357]

What the majority said. Sounds bad and pretty senseless to me.

 

Also, whats up with this "Season 2" thing? I never saw updates called episodes, or the current set called "Season 1" IIRC.
