Unique prime weapon abilities

Recommended Posts

Maybe it's just me, but I really dislike the unique features added to prime weapons, like ballisticas ghost, tiberons additional fire modes and pyranas spectral duplicate.

When a prime weapon is announced and I'm excited, because a (weak) weapon I like is getting an upgrade, I don't want to See a completely diffrent weapon with new mechanics. I just want stat improvements. I don't want a Tiberon Prime that feels like a better Stradavar with an extra fire mode, I just want a burst rifle with good stats. 

The interesting mechanics could just be used for new standalone weapons, instead of strapping them to a prime weapon that is far too alienated from it's original counterpart.

Not all unique effects are good. For starters, the Ballistica P's effect makes it very detrimental for stealth play. Not to mention the complete mechanic change.

Pyrana and Tiberon P are all good, though.

I don't really care for good or bad. I just want primes that have the same feeling as the original versions. Improvement or not, if it changes the playstyle of the weapon significantly I don't want it.

As GinKenshin above says, that's just you.

Tiberon and Pyrana are the base version. Besides, base Tigris has the third highest base damage of all weapons. Use your neurons, friend

Regular Tiberon is not a good weapon and Tigris might have high base damage but Bad mag size, status and crit stats, therefore a Bad weapon. And I didn't even mention Tigris Prime and I believe it doesn't even have a special ability. Tigris Prime is a prime I like, because it is like regular tigris but with better stats.

Many people may also enjoy the expanded mechanical functions of the upgraded gear, so where does this topic go next?

I just wanted to express my opinion as feedback and wanted to see, if I can find a likeminded individual, expecting oposing opinions. That's what I got, so the topic basicly did what it was supposed to, unless more people want to express their point of view.

Regular Tiberon is a beast, fact.

Tigris has the same magazine as all other variants, can reach 100% status and low crit (same as other variants). I'm gonna stop replying since it's obvious you don't know what your talking about. Do your research, kid

 

PS: Your request will obviously be ignored since you're literally a needle in the haystack. Everyone else enjoys diversity and cool mechanics.

Won't argue about Tiberon, as your "fact" is an opinion.

Tigris and all it's variants have mag 2, which is low. Other variants posessing the same weakness, doesn't mean it's good.

With a status Chance of 28% base it needs Nano applicator to reach 100% before multishot, which means a wasted mod slot. That's why I say it's not a good weapon overall.

People have different preferences. This is something that should be accepted if providing feedback on game mechanics or art assets. You may not like the bonus functions, but some people do. I don't fault your taste or anything like that. You're not wrong or such, I just think the focus on this (The additional item functions) should have been highlighted in a more objective fashion, as it kind of is in your final sentence. Notice how there is no instance of "I" or "myself" or "me" in that last sentence. That is a clear and direct statement that actually has grounds for discussion, rather than something along the lines of "I like the colour orange, and blue is terrible.", which is the kind of feedback that doesn't really help anyone.

You're not the only one. Community is so hungry for new content, that anything will make them happy. Problem are rivens. Weapons are getting to strong with them. If DE increase like 10% CC in some of them, they will start to red crit like it's normal, and again we will see tweaks in enemy scaling and more people complaint about end game. Butterfly effect, you change a little here and become a storm over there. That's will they are creating special mechanics for primes rather increasing their stats. Those 'ghosts' mobs/weapons are a waste of time.

1. I didn't say anything about the Tiberon or Pyrana, but the other 3 weapons you named were variants. That is what I was referring to.

2. I didn't say that the base versions of those weapons were weak. I only said that you shouldn't use variants when making that comparison.

I like the passives.  They're a good way to make new weapons interesting.  While i prefer they show up on tenno reinforcements rather than prime variants, they provide an alternative way to inflate a weapon's power without risk it become too powerful with a riven.
