[2018] Mesa Prime Toggle Removal

Hi Tenno,

If you’ve managed to get your hands on Mesa Prime already, you might have noticed some strange effects when using her toggled Prime Details on her TennoGen skins. This currently is the Toggle Prime Details function working as intended: her base and Prime models are so different that the Prime Details don’t line up properly. 

Unfortunately there is no easy fix, so for the time being we are removing the Toggle for Mesa Prime specifically. You’ll still be able to use TennoGen skins on Mesa Prime, just without the Prime Details!

Thank you to everyone who reported this, and thank you for your understanding. We’ll do our due diligence for future Primes to turn off the toggle prior to release if model discrepancies make the toggle unusable. 

EDIT: I am amending this post to offer more clarity, since a few Tenno are fairly drawing parallels to a similar bug that happened with Valkyr Prime and Vauban Prime.

The issue with Valkyr Prime details (and other texture issues with Primes) is completely separate from the issue here. Those were set up incorrectly and were a bug -- Mesa's are set up properly, but that's not the cause of this issue unfortunately. We have never had this problem come up with Prime details on a TennoGen skin since previous Primes stayed fairly true to the original Warframe's model. This is the first time that Prime and the original model are so different that the Prime details simply don't line up properly, resulting in the texture problems that are currently live.

This is simply not OK, It has become expected that tennogen work with prime details, and when this happened to valkyr prime you fixed it. 

I totally understand why it's upsetting as there's a clear precedent for toggles working in the past, but I want to offer a bit of extra clarity here since you mentioned Valkyr.

The toggle is being removed because of how 'broken' the Prime toggle is. That's all the info I have at the moment.
