Prime Resurgence: Post-Event and Next Steps!

[[DE]Zach]

Prime Resurgence is coming to a close on January 25th!

After 8 weeks of Prime rotations and a 2 week ‘Last Chance’ to top it all off, we’re here to thank you for participating in Prime Resurgence! This was our first attempt at a very ambitious Unvaulting event that, after some bumps in the road, had ultimately turned out to be a very successful way for us to provide access to Vaulted content.

While the event did extremely well, it’s time to review the details holistically now that it's over to answer the question: What is the future of Prime Resurgence?

While important next-step decisions are being made, the following covers what you can expect in terms of Prime Vault content in the wake of Prime Resurgence:

The Interim Return of Prime Vault

To not disrupt player accessibility to Vaulted content, a traditional Prime Vault will be returning in February. In traditional Prime Vault fashion, packs will be available through the in-game Market (and stores on Consoles) and Vault Relics will be added to the Drop Tables. More details on specifics to come!

Varzia’s Post-Event Wares

Varzia still resides in Maroo’s Bazaar with a selection of wares. You may choose to purchase the items listed below from her shop with the remaining Aya or Regal Aya you may have. You can read the full list here.[forums.warframe.com]

During this interim time we will not be adding any new items to Varzia’s shop - since Aya and Regal Aya are no longer obtainable there should be no item gatekeeping for players who do not have any stock leftover.

Next Steps: Aya & Regal Aya

A hotfix will be going out on all platforms tomorrow, January 25th to replace Aya with the Nyx Prime and Rhino Prime Relics in the Drop Tables. Regal Aya packs will also be retired at the time that the event comes to a close.

If you choose, any remaining Aya/Regal Aya can be used in Varzia’s post-event shop (as listed above) or can be held onto for potential future Prime Vault efforts. While the future of Prime Resurgence is still being determined, priority in any instance will be to provide options that appropriately meets player expectations for premium purchases.

It is worth reiterating before we sign off, that the nature of Prime Resurgence was wholly experimental. We wanted to give players an alternative to Prime Vault and ultimately increase access to Prime gear, and that required much risk consideration and community contribution in the early stages and launch of the event to get right. So thank you for continuing to be an integral part of the development process and success of endeavors such as these.

It wasn't a bad experiment. Having a chance to grab a bunch of old Primes and rewards at once was amazing, definitely better than having to hope the Warframe with the specific skin you want would get unvaulted.

Getting my Liset Prime without having to wait for years was great!

So more of this please.

As I didn't purchase Regal Aya, it doesn't impact me personally, but I can't imagine it is that great an idea to retire a premium currency like Regal Aya and just have the remaining balance sit on the back burner. Have you considered allowing people to purchase future prime packs with them or give them an option to convert them to regular Plat?

I think as far as i understood Prime resurgence may come back sometime in the future.
I really like that i could target farm the relic i wanted for the frames and weapons that i was interested in without having to rely on RNG to give me the right relic out of a pool of already normal relics.
I really hope this comes back at some point.

How to put it? That's it anyway

Decent concept, brutal timetable. Every single session, it was bounties and fissures and bounties and fissures and bounties and fissures and bounties and fissures and at some point you snuck the New War in.

I think the model work would better as twelve one-month-period rotations. A new month, a new unvaulting for you to buy or farm for. Miss something? That's fine, it'll be back around same time next year. Newly unvaulted primes simply get round-robin'd into existing tables. We'd have our own Warframe zodiac before long.

We'd need to give Varzie some aya sinks. Kuva, endo, void traces maybe, stuff like that. Maybe a random three day booster for like twenty aya on a one month cooldown. If everybody is going to be trickling in aya over time, it's gotta go somewhere. Better yet, mix unvaulted relics with aya on the bounty reward tables. Maybe half and half, so we're not drowning in aya, but the same total number of relics and prime parts still gets opened.
