JamesSergon Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Well. The title says it pretty much all. I am afraid to buy/use multiple forma and spend 40 hours on a warframe or a weapon to find out a Prime version of it arrives, with more benefits or with a so much cooler look. Wouldn't be better if Prime would be an optional upgrade, just like the Orokin catalyst/reactor? You still would have to find the parts and the BP.

ADJCENT Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Yes, Yes you are 3Formas in Sobek 3 in Ogris etcetc I think he means Tenno weapons since are the only ones that will get prime variants. Yes I am because I would hate to use a Forma and then in a week or two a Prime variant of that weapon would come out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LovecraftJF Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 I have a nice little stack of about 15 forma. I've never forma'd anything but my flux rifle once. I don't see why people are forma'ing weapons more than once unless they have max serration,hornet strike, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesSergon Posted July 31, 2013 Author Share Posted July 31, 2013 Yes, Yes you are 3Formas in Sobek 3 in Ogris etcetc Haha! I like how you drew absolute conclusion based on one case :) I think he means Tenno weapons since are the only ones that will get prime variants. Yes I am because I would hate to use a Forma and then in a week or two a Prime variant of that weapon would come out. Yes. That's what i mean. That and of course Warframes. I have a nice little stack of about 15 forma. I've never forma'd anything but my flux rifle once. I don't see why people are forma'ing weapons more than once unless they have max serration,hornet strike, etc. Well I do have max serration, hornet striket, etc. mods, and I do need to forma some weapons more than once.

Aramahn Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 (edited) I put a lot of time in to polarize my Braton 5 times so I could max that baby out. Loved it too. Then they came out with the Braton Prime and now I'm a sad panda. Edited July 31, 2013 by Aramahn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aramahn Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 I'll have to look. My serration isn't completely maxed either. But it was close enough that I needed that 5th forma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

junkion Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 I know how you feel, and used to be apprehensive too, but even with catalysts and reactors, you're going to have to forma stuff to get the mods maxed on your frames and weapons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see why people are forma'ing weapons more than once unless they have max serration,hornet strike, etc. Once fully polorized, even with only a half powered serrarion, the Braton is a BEAST! But it does require a ton of forma to get it there. Just to fit a half seration mod, and almost full rainbow mods and a split chamber, you need to have invested a couple forma's in there.

Aramahn Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Also, keep in mind that the more times you polorize, it has diminishing returns. Sure it's great to cut the heavy hitters like serration and split chamber in half. But when trying to get everything maxed, it's hard to squeeze many mod points out of cutting elemental mods (and such) in two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruzu Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 If you enjoy using your gear, where's the regret in placing a forma in it, even if a prime version -does- come out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aramahn Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 If you enjoy using your gear, where's the regret in placing a forma in it, even if a prime version -does- come out. I wouldn't call it regret. I've enjoyed the hell out of my beefed up Braton. But after putting so many hours into it only to find out there is an almost identical version (play style wise) but with better starting stats just kinda takes the wind out of some folks sails. It's about playstyle. I personally love the Braton because it fits my playstyle. So I invested a ton of time making it the best it could possibly be. Now there's another version of the same gun (same playstyle) that can be made even better. But you gotta start from square 1 all over again. I'm not saying they should change anything. Or stop releasing these great weapons. I'm just saying folks being a little disheartened when their uber-gun is no longer uber is a little justified.

Zareek Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Got 3 forma on my supra, and looking to use 1 more, then 1 or 2 more on paris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troublechutor Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Forma are easy to get... I don't have all that many, but I'm presently sitting on a nice little stockpile of 3. I have no use for them until I have maxed out mods, and I'm more missing potatoes than anything. If you have a rank 30 weapon you are looking to forma to put more stuff on, just do it. When the prime version drops at some later date, just move to the prime or don't.... a fully forma'd weapon with potato is stupid powerful, and a prime version doing +5 damage isn't going to be suddenly more godlike than your already godlike weapon. I'd like a Paris prime because I'd like some mastery points (as I still don't have dread, I'm not up for forma'ing it anyway). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see why people are forma'ing weapons more than once unless they have max serration,hornet strike, etc. To fit most things on obviously. Hellfire, Stormbringer take up 11 slots. ArmPen and Cyro rounds take up 9, multishot takes up 15 then you have serration and what not or whatever other mod you want to put on. I maxed everything except for serration and that requires a couple forma on weapon to be able to equip all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
