Ragnarok160 Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 (edited) Ive been playing warframe for about 3 years now, i have 700 hours according to my in game profile and 1200 according to steam. Im mr23 and have every frame in the game so far, my question is am i a vet yet? I think a lot of people are self proclaimed or dont know, it there a magic number i have to hit? Or are just founders considered vets ( tho i catagorize them on there own and ive seen founders with less time and mr then me). I feel like i consider myself a vet on how much of the game ive seen change and ive fallen into DE last survey time bracket. Any thoughts?

Kurokoz Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Usually the self proclaimed vet's use that title on their forum posts to justify their opinion of game changes.. Been playing since closed beta and I avoid that term like a plague Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiosGX Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 I think your problem is assuming there's a standardized definition of what a veteran of a game really is, or entails possessing the attributes therein and thereof. Can you answer questions, from newbies and long-time players? Or at the very least understand the mechanics enough to have a discussion or conversation to arrive at an answer? Can you use at least half of those frames in your possession, in at least half the mission types with the ease that you could keep watch over your own child while playing? These are just a few things I'd personally attribute "veteran" status to someone in this game over. Having mastery over both the game and its mechanics while being able to verbalize those concepts via engaging with the community it both affects and influences. But that's just my opinion. o3o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Systemlord_FlaUsh Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 You are a vet when you reach 100M credits. I'm close to 45M currently. Also maxing 10K platinum and 1M Endo. (This game doesn't have anything to offer anymore as long as there won't be two-player raids) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-AoN-CanoLathra- Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Being a Vet has less to do with numbers and more to do with experience. If you can solo 99% of the content in the game, know what an optimal build for a weapon will be just by seeing its stat-card, and can teach noobs what they need to know to get started, you are a vet. If you can already tell which point in the damage calculation sequence a mod/ability will have to apply in order to be good, or can look at a piece of FashonFrame and know which frames you would put it on without even trying it beforehand, you are a vet. Being a Vet has nothing to do with MR, Playtime, Login Days, or resource quantities. It's about knowing the game inside and out. It's about finding out something new about the game every week instead of every day. If you can do all that, you are a vet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ForsakenPenumbra Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 The point is that new players arnt the ones the bought it it was people who were and are veterans. People dedicated to the game and wanted it to succeed. Whether it was a one time purchase or not (cause there will be more "new veterans" the longer the game runs) the fact is Veterans are what keep this game going. Sure new players buy plat but thats like buying the game. people who buy the game dont keep the game going its the people still playing it afterwards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
