They've done boosters, beacons, fireworks...uh am I missing anything. A specter of one of the tankiest enemies in the game doesn't sound all that bad. Anyone test it yet?

And every other specter blueprint isn't permanent either. Syndicate specters require syndicate standing or killing them in the field, everything else rescue missions or Clem.

A 5 minute rescue mission vs. a >20 minute grind for void keys + running the relics? The odds are stacked pretty heavily in favour of the tenno spectre, which if made out of Valkyr, Chroma or Inaros, is tankier than any mob. Syndicate spectres cost 2.5k standing, so you're looking at being able to get at least 5 of those per day - and that's for low-ranked players who don't do syndicate missions and turn in medallions.

Still, a permanent bp when no other specter in the game has the same benefit is a steep demand. The only alternative is steep production costs which no one likes either.

Then dont release a specter bp as a baro reward at all then. There is nothing to excuse or defend here.

[kaliazane]

Maybe if it had some kind of aura that increases something, but if its just plain specter then that's huge waste of ducats.

They're instant on-demand allies. And like I said in my edited post, NONE of the other specters have infinite use either.

Thats true, but none of the other specters come every 2 weeks (maybe) and have such a steep price. Both extreme Timegates and Resource gates. I feel like the extreme cost/time warrants something more, dunno.

Baro is a prime sink. His only purpose is to drain you of your ducats. Useful isn't the bullet point when more than half his wares now are his stupid grinning face.

[kaliazane]

Actually he does give some kind of aura.

 

He also got his own drone that increases your shields, so it might be combination of ancient healer and that drone specter.

 

Edit. That aura is not like ancient healer aura, im taking far too much dmg

What even is this. The only new item is useless. This is the first Ki'teer visit in a long time where I am NOT buying the new shiny. This is disappointing and such a waste of ducats.

P.S It is not re-useable ;-;

Would you rather a selfie of baro?

That high quality AI, he was more concerned with dancing instead of actually shooting at enemies.

[Etan-gK]

maybe if it was a 5x specter BP it'd be worth it, but as it stands it's a complete waste

It actually is 5x, after crafting you get 5 of them.

[(XBOX)Xaevryn]

Huh, on Xbox One we got the slash mod set, g3/stalkerhzanuka beacons, primed regen, and some cosmetics. Nothing new I think, but nice stuff. Gonna stock up on buzzkills now that I got the whole set, then wait for the price to go up.

They didn't even bother giving us a reskinned cosmetic frill? 

Seems like it is getting easier to not bother to log in these days.

[SeaUrchins]

It's trash unless it is permanent BP.

Anticipation of Bard Frame synergy?! ;-)

DDRframe confirmed.

It often stops shooting if you make it hold position, only way to make him shoot again is clicking follow again.

I have never noped out of Baro's window so fast

This is actually pretty darn funny... DE must of known the salt it would cause. 😂

 

It wouldn't be Baro otherwise...😂

Well, DE are also just humans right? They also need their bi-weekly laughs and chuckles for the weekend. Of course they know that it's causing salt and frustration.

[Lanadra]

I laughed my &#! off when I saw that blueprint, and got a few of them.

The bottom of the barrel broke so long ago they went though the crust and are into mantle now.
