I am just going to go ahead and say it. This has haunted me since I became a vanguard which was November 14 2012. Does that date sound familiar? Well its the day of the Guild Hall Redux and thats the beggining of the homecoming celebration, and it haunts me because I could of gotten the Lionheart honor blade, but of course NO. My brother had to hog the laptop and never give it to me, and by the time he was done I was forced to go to sleep. I wanted to go to fsc and become a vanguard, but nope. Instead my brother gets the good stuff, while I am stuck with this 4 star piece of poop that I have never used at all. Cant I just have another chance of getting these stuff? Like hell just take it from my Brother's. He hasnt even played since 2013.

Maybe just give it when you try crafting with the regular calibur line? That would be nice.

I agree

I agree, as I'm forever stuck with the 3 star versions and it pains me to look at them

That's just it; it was a commemoration of the new guild halls. The standard response for this request is to say that they're meant to be a snapshot of where you were when it happened. Giving them out again, allowing them to be upgraded, etc. defeats the point of them in the first place.

That said I would rather see something else happen as a commemoration that gives out a Blaster and Blast Bomb "Honor" reskin, as well as perhaps a reskinned Azure Guardian set as a costume.

Yet you are giving snapshots

Yet you are giving snapshots away to other guilds that will end up using them as furniture. Doesnt that defeat the purpose right there?

In a sense yes, but that's a bit of a different animal.

One is a trophy that you get to display for all to see. It would have been better if they hadn't been tradeable, and when placed would be interactive and show the name of the knight that placed it as a sort of "this was when X was *rank*, good times" thing.

The others are mementos meant to be ceremonial in nature, but able to be used for combat purposes if the user so desired, if the descriptions are anything to go off of.

They are reskins, and as such add no extra gameplay value other than "I was here when this thing happened, and I was *rank*"

While it is unfortunate that some people like yourself were in situations where they couldn't advance in time, it's still just a reskin at the end of the day that can have its job done by the main lines they imitate.

This is why I suggested the alternate reskins; it lets people have another shot at the "Honor" gear, without devaluing the previous iteration.

I believe someone a while ago suggested an aura accessory as well; can't remember who or where, though.

Thats unfortunate, but I am

Thats unfortunate, but I am sure everyone who didn't get it could come up with some excuse or pity story.
"My brother hogged my laptop" could have easily been:
"I had to stay longer at work"
"My power went out"
"My computer crashed"
Etc. Etc.

Your problem is insignificant. It's just a reskin, nothing special.

No just no.

For the same reason they don't make the Groundbreaker set craftable. This is a set given to those who were Vanguards when the guild hall updates came out. Were you a vanguard back then, no? Then no you arent qualified ro recieve these items.

If anything they should do a new re-skin for those of us still in the game.

Carbon-based error!

Yes, because it's clearly a huge disadvantage to have another item which requires Radiants to heat.

I enjoy my 5* Lionheart Honor Blade and wouldn't really like other people to get them for a different reason. You deserve what you have, and that includes if you have nothing.

I look at this in the same sense as if Spiral Bombheads were given out again. If you didn't earn it originally, you don't deserve to have it gifted to you simply because you weren't playing and it's unfair.

This happened a long time ago

This happened a long time ago mate, why talk about it now? Atleast you got something, it's just a reskin though. It serves no purpose and during this time that it's been away you could've gotten something way better to use. The item isn't even that good.

agree with Grudging-Claw

Old items such as Groundbreaker armor are special exactly because not everyone has them. Let's not devalue those old special items by making them available again. Rather, let's make new special items for the new generation to cherish.

@let's make new special items for the new generation to cherish.

How about a new edition of the Ground Breaker set without the β insigna geared for the beta players?

And I still have my Leviathan Blade reskin with me.

Back when I was still into Warframe, I kept joking my Lionheart Honor Blade was "Leviathan Blade Prime".

And since to me it's my own special Excalibur Prime: Why should Digital Extremes give Excalibur Prime to people who didn't invest in founders packages? They shouldn't, just like how Grey Havens shouldn't give the LHB to people who didn't get to Vanguard before the guildhall update dropped. Or people who write pity stories to get their way, for that matter.

"If it wasn't exclusive, I would feel less special." Some reasoning. "I was there when some random update dropped!"

At least let me vendor the damn things. I don't want to get stuck with unusable garbage.
