People really need to get this through their heads. Vanguard is in a prealpha state.
So what if they’re requiring Omega for access? It’s to keep people who are unfamiliar with the game away from it for the time being.
I think the main thing that is throwing people off about this, is the fact that what they have so far actually looks pretty good. It doesn’t look like a prealpha game. CCP probably should have just released what they had with a warframe mastery test map to quell some of the hate.
But, people are stupid, so they probably would have still thought it wasn’t a prealpha. Even with clearly wip graphics.
And yes, they’re selling packs for omega access specifically for the Vanguard tests. So what? Some people want to take part and are willing to pay for it. I call that a win on CCP’s part. It’s still a prealpha.
As for this, if you’d want this to change significantly, throw some support behind the proposals that offer solutions: Reworked Missions (Procedural Generation)
