Is There Any Way To Get Colours Or Affinity Amplifiers Without Platinum?

[UnholyPerfection]

Not fussed about the Affinity amplifier but it seems like a bit of a $&*^ move if colours are trapped behind a pay wall.

[agung.up]

well, you don't really need affinity amplifier. you can live without it.

 

and color is just cosmetic. it don't change the gameplay.

[Katakuna]

Simply put: No.

 

And there probably never will be.

 

Edit: Unless they do something like seasonals in the past, with one pack on the market for 1 credit or something to that effect.

Neither are necessary for normal play. You're getting enough as it is.

It is a F2P game. They have to make money to keep it going.

Cosmetics costing real money is, like, micro-transactions and MMOs 101.

Behind Paywall:

Color schemes

Sentinel cosmetics

New weapon texture cosmetic release today (desert : may be in alerts in the future if the past is any indication.)

Booster packs (Affinity & Credits)

Weapon slots

Warframe slots 

 

The only thing that will have a noticeable impact on your gameplay is the Slots and that's only if you choose not to sell what you don't still use, as they give you more than enough to experiment from the get go, especially if you invest your starting platinum they give you for free - on slots. I haven't put any platinum in except for two color packs and it was well worth the money: having invested almost 300 hours into Warframe they've more than earned it.
