Tenno,

Building a new economy is tough. Despite Prime Resurgence being a best-selling Vault debut, we are making changes to what was introduced yesterday in the Regal Aya Packs by adding Platinum. The changes we are making are a result of what you want to see from us as a Developer and what we want for ourselves: good monetization.

Our intentions were always good monetization, but we have some learnings we’d like to share regarding intentions and executions when building an adjacent economy:

We misunderstood what some players valued most in the prior Vault packs: Platinum. We stand by our initial reasoning that Regal Aya was a good value for players interested in flexibility, but we now better understand what other factors our players consider when making purchasing decisions. This value of player purchase flexibility was justified by the sales (as this is our best debut to date), but that honestly doesn’t matter if there’s still misalignment between us and ...

That looks so cozy! Glad the Kavats are enjoying their new spot

what's stopping you from delaying the event and reuse the old style of prime vaults instead for now while you fix it? It's not like both the new war and prime vault are related as far as i know code wise and even if it was, you still have access to the previous game builds?

Beside, might i add, but if resources are that tight for the new war release that there is no leeway available to fix something like that, i'm a bit afraid of the state in which new war will drop. Is it going to be the same as the past years where we get a broken content drop right before Christmas and then we have radio silence for like 1 week until some stuff gets fixed?

Like i'm sorry you're the one i drop this on and i'm not trying to get accusatory, but that sounds like utter bullshit considering what other game studios are able to pull off and what i know of working in software development. That just sounds like a simple pushed additional monetization attempt by management.

A major focus of Prime Resurgence (Re: original Dev Workshop) is to free up Dev resources so we can fully focus on updates like the New War. We don't want major updates be the reason why Prime Vault continually has to take a backseat, which is exactly what happened this year

"\Prime Vault in 2020 was affected by the throes of a packed development cycle that had us defaulting to the previous Prime Vault set ups, which required far less pressure on the Dev team. While we understand these were very real reasons for such repetition, it was not ideal and something we’d like to continue to avoid in the future."*

Seriously, the excuse sucks, if they really cared and were being held back by technical limitations, they would delay the event to fix it.

The New War launches in December and that is right around the corner... the technical limitations are there and diverting any of the teams attention at this time unfortunately just isn't an option

Update - Nov. 15th, 3:30pm - Response to Updating packs with Platinum

Hey Tenno! 

With Prime Resurgence launching tomorrow, we wanted to answer your requests to (a) add Platinum to the packs and (b) add Accessories Packs with Platinum. 

A. The reality is that for this inaugural launch we are unable at this time (right before launch) to add Platinum to the packs due to technical and compliance limitations across all Warframe’s platforms. We want to avoid doing any changes midway through the event as well, with it becoming a logistical challenge on the backend setup and unfair to the players who were early participants. While it is not possible for this first run, we have pages upon pages of feedback here that will be considered alongside the data we’ll be reviewing once the event has finished. Rest assured the importance of bonus Platinum in the value proposition is noted for next time. 

B. The same reasoning from A applies to adding Access...

...except if you are veteran and only need accessories, then we want you to pay more.

Accessory pack (armor set, the sigil, 200p) is 20$

3 Aya is 20$

3 Aya is one armor set

Something doesn't add up.

we're correcting this, hang tight

In the past, only Dojo Decorations have been scalable. You can now scale Personal Decorations too! From Dojos to Orbiters, Tenno can customize decoration sizes.

...does this apply to articula?

Yes!

They're included in the packs, yes! Both individual and dual

UI is so bugged now. I clicked the syndicate page on my orbiter and I'm stuck at loading and I can only Alt+F4 every time I got stuck now.

What platform are you on? Currently ok for me on Switch and PC

There's somethin' fishy goin' on with the Regal Aya/irl money/prime access pack value conversion rates.

Quoted verbatim from Forum user (XBOX)drakolich21: "You say that regal Aya has the same cost-to-value rate than vault packs, but it's not true. 3 regal Aya at $20 gets you just 1 accessory set, but accessory packs at $20 also include 200p."

accessories =/= accessories+plat (Assuming the plat will then be replaced with a large amount of endo)

Someone at DE might want to clarify.

we're correcting this, hang tight

The note with Galvanized Mods NOT working on AoE weapons is important and honestly good for the game in the long run, despite me loving my Torid and wanting it to be better T_T.

QUESTION: Do Galvanized Mods still work on weapons where the primary fire isn't AoE (Zarr, Tenet Tetra, Quanta), or does it just not work on those weapons at all? How about weapons like the Glaxion which have minor AoE but are predominantly single-target? The Ignis probably is affected but that makes sense (RIP Embolist though).

The way it should be working is that projectiles that have direct effects work, while the AOE doesn't. It's based on the properties of the attack, not the weapon - so it should be still working as intended on weapons like the Zarr.

If this isn't the case - definitely let us know

What do we need to do to get aya? Do relic or the void?

Aya drops from anywhere you'd find vaulted relics previously (ie. Void/Missions/Relic Packs)

Do what you'd usually do for an unvaulting, but now you'll receive Aya
