Mesa Prime

[iDragolyte]

Will there ever be Mesa Prime? It's my fav Warframe ;-;

[(PSN)abbacephas]

At some point in time in the future: yes. All Warframes will eventually get primed.

[Elvangreen]

It goes male, male, female, female.

So it is looking like Oberon and Hydroid next, then 2 females.

candidates are mirage, equinox, zephyr and mesa.

EDIT: from further study it looks like:

Oberon / Hydroid / Zephyr / Mirage / Limbo / Chroma, then possibly mesa.

Mesa may be waiting a while. If they go by release order, the next two female primes will be zephyr and mirage. I doubt they will pass over Mirage as she is so popular, and with a Zephyr deluxe skin in the works for a while, and Zephyr being a frame that could really use an excuse for a rework, I doubt they will pass her over either. 

[(PSN)DBR87]

Obviously from the profile pic Mesa is my bae, however, if we got a Mesa Umbra instead of a Mesa Prime I would have no qualms at all.

Oberon 100% must be next unless they pull another nova

2 years from now? I never put much thought into the release schedule, but this time length is essentially true, even if it's uncomfortable in feeling.

[Tesseract7777]

Has anyone else noticed that the frequency of new prime access per year also fits with the amount of fiscal quarters in a companies financial year? 

And yeah, almost two years, it is a long time. However, I think Mesa is in a very strong place right now, so at least there is that.

Yeah I notice the sequence there.. Just did some researches of the prime releases
 

Warframe Name	Sex	Release Date (mm-dd-yyyy)	Update Version	Vaulted
Excalibur Prime	Male	12-19-2012	5.0	N/A
Frost Prime	Male	5-3-2013	7.10	Yes
Mag Prime	Female	9-13-2013	10.0	Yes
Ember Prime	Female	11-20-2013	11.0	Yes
Rhino Prime	Male	3-5-2014	12.4	Yes
Loki Prime	Male	6-11-2014	13.7	Yes
Nyx Prime	Female	9-23-2014	14.8	Yes
Nova Prime	Female	12-16-2014	15.7	Yes
Volt Prime	Male	3-24-2015	16.1	Yes
Ash Prime	Male	7-7-2015	16.11	No
Trinity Prime	Female	10-6-2015	17.6	No
Saryn Prime	Female	2-16-2016	18.4.12	No
Vauban Prime	Male	5-17-2016	18.12	No
Nekros Prime	Male	8-23-2016	The Silver Grove 3	No
Valkyr Prime	Female	11-22-2016	19.0.7	No
Banshee Prime	Female	2-28-2017	19.11.5	No

I guess we gotta wait for another 2 more prime releases before we can get Mesa Prime by chance.

It could also be argued since Zephyr needs a complete overhaul and Mesa was already reworked. Mesa could replace Zephyr around March of 2018. There is a chance.

doubt it zephyr is next in line for a rework and shes the 3rd or 4th prime access away plenty of time before her turn comes and a rework will be done by then, along with a deluxe skin. Zephyr and mirages prime access are near guaranteed unless they pull a nova

I can see Zephyr getting the Banshee treatment, skipped multiple times simply because the frame isn't all that popular.

Mesa's closest chance for a primed spotlight is this year Christmass season (the time when DE prefers to go with a popular frame instead of original introduction-based sequence). if not, then autumn - winter 2018/2019

Doubt it's zephyr since mirage n mesa are way more popular and DE would love to get the plat from those 2 first. Hehe

[iDragolyte]

I would buy platinum for Mesa prime when it releases :P

[ShadowStalker]

are quest obtained frames even supposed to be primed?

yes, why shouldn't they be? all vanilla frames, regardless of how they are obtained, are just reverse-engineered versions of the Orokin original (prime version). DE have also mentioned multiple times that EVERY frame is eligible for a Primed variant.

I think Mesa is the last one that I really want primed, for now at least.

I think no. What the point to do a quest if can farm a prime faster?

Every warframe is eligible for a primed variant. And it wont be the first time that a primed version is easier to get compared to the normal frame. Just look at Ash/Prime.

[Floppinger]

Yes, please. No more Salad V Nav Coordiates.

Like Saryn. F*ck you Kela and your stupid Rathuum, I´m building the Prime .

_{I´ll be back for Chroma though....}

Yea and LoR is so much easier and accessible than a regular fissure

You can play Ophelia few times and get Ash. Easy. Much faster then get Chroma, Nidus, Mirage, Limbo and Titania.

But if you need the original quest frame for build the prime version, it could have sense...

well lets be fair to the poor zephyr, her skill set is beyond outdated ever since parkour 2.0 its unfair to say she is unpopular especially when shes only got 1 thing out of 4 going for her. Until her proper rework is done we cannot assume anything, shes the single frame with the most unknown potential since 2 skills may be changed completely.

Please correct me if im worng, but after a quick trip to the wiki, i found that:

-Component blueprints drop from Manics. Manics have a 33.33% chance to drop a component blueprint, and if they do, there is a 38.72% chance that it's the Chassis, 38.72% for the Neuroptics, and 22.56% for the Systems. There is an expected 63 ± 20 Manic kills to obtain each component at least once.

-A Manic will almost always spawn after 14 to 16 minutes in a Grineer Survival mission, or after about 5 Excavators in a Grineer Excavation mission.

With simple math, 63 kills, with each kills requiring 14 minutes to wait for the enemy. Thats 882 minutes of Ophelia. Not counting the loading screen.

Yes, that is sooo much easier than a couple of radiant share fissure runs.
