Generally speaking you don't really fail at what you set out to do in Warframe. It's more about doing it as quickly as possible, as stylishly, or with the dumbest meme option that shouldn't really work, depending on your tastes.

That hour of overtime took less time than farming, and I still had a little cash after. This is a dangerous approach though, and before you know it you're a pay-to-win whale.

TheParadigm posted:It's a vanity thing. You can polarize without changing polarity. (Or to blank a slot) I kind of wish they took out the penalty for sticking wrong-polarity mods into slots and let people polarize a slot with multiple polarities. It wouldn't actually increase your peak power in any single situation, but it would let people experiment with builds a bit more (and it'd make people want even more forma which makes DE money). So then you could have the 40 forma Warframe and 32 forma weapon, for those people who really, really want the maximum possible flexibility out of a Warframe.

at that point it would be easier to just get a second copy of the frame.

I will never understand why people think Harrow is a hard farm, the only really annoying bit is the low drop rate on Defections, but honestly defections are super easy once you know what to do. And Kuva Spy missions are also cake if you take in Loki. And both of those are also farms for other frames too. Defections spawn Maniacs for Ash Parts, and Pagos can get you Ivara's bits as well.

I've played this game a lot and wanna support them! But the way the random plat discounts work, it feels like I'm scamming myself if I don't wait for a 75% off coupon, and those practically never happen. So I've just been sitting on my money. I might buy some tennogen skins instead of buying plat though. The latest Nova looks really nice...

I'm sure DE has done way more thinking about this than I have, but I wonder if the extra money they make from "oh hey, a coupon" impulse buys outweighs the money they lose from people waiting for a coupon. I could see it go either way TBH.

What I really want to see is a dlc pack for 15-30 dollars that just gives you infinite slots and potatoes and 0 plat. The kind of things I really wanna buy in f2p games are things that let you ignore the microtransaction stuff and pretend it doesn't exist. Like the unlock-all-characters packs in Hirez's games, Smite and Paladins, where instead of grinding in game or paying real money to unlock each new character you just pay 30 bucks and get all present and future ones forever. They're free to play games but buying that pack feels like "buying the game".

If you're considering a token purchase of support already, Just as a reminder the origin and empyrean packs are going away shortly with the deimos release. there's one thats a scarf and 200 plat for 5$. I'm not sure how much of a discount that is compared to regular pricing, but its also 5$ to skip a grind or get a bunch of forma packs.

TheParadigm posted:If you're considering a token purchase of support already, Just as a reminder the origin and empyrean packs are going away shortly with the deimos release. I did some quick math and bought three different bundle packs because it was more cost-effective than just straight plat buys and buying what the pack gives afterward. Plus some of them offer unique capes. E: It was the Origin, Empyrean, and Starter packs. Also there's going ot be a pack releasing with Deimos that includes Nidus, that's tempting.

Prime access packs are like 1000 plat for 50 bucks, so that's sort of like a 50% discount? Or in other words it's still twice as expensive as waiting for a 75% off... You do get a cape at least. The $30 empyrean pack that just comes with 570 plat and an armor set (plus avatar and emote and sigil) seems really not worth it.

I was tempted to get the pack for the pennant but the only thing I actually liked was the pistol skin so I skipped it. The deimos packs look better.

You do get a cape at least. You're not wrong, I'm having trouble fitting the armor to any of my frames (Everyone is too curved, the angles on the armor clash). But even if it was just the plat it would be decent, since you get 200 more for the ten bucks on top of a normal 370-for-20. e: Like it is absolutely worse than waiting for a 75% off plat coupon, but it at least fits into the normal progression of pricing tiers.

From my own observations, the 75% off one is extremely rare unless there's a trigger condition. If you already had plat and you've spent a chunk, it seems to pop up. If you haven't played in a while then log in, it seems to pop up.

I've logged in for >450 days and I think I might have seen the 75% coupon once, in 2013. I had a fair amount of platinum when I came back in March 2019, which is why I think that, but I definitely haven't seen one in the time since I came back.

Discounts are also determined by what country you live in. "Poor" countries see discounts more often. I guess you could use a VPN to try and cheese this but I don't know if your region is a permanent tag in your profile or if it checks/updates every 24 hours. Cheesing the system would be pretty scummy, especially if you're doing okay financially.
