Octavia Prime Access giveaway is live!

DE has just released Octavia Prime and usually whenever this happens they allow the partners to do some giveaways with the new pack. The beat queen herself is no exception - I'm giving away an Octavia Prime Access Amp pack! Let's take a quick look at what comes with the Prime Access pack, and how to maybe win one for yourself.

What comes in the pack?

The pack comes with the following items in warframe (taken directly from the post on Warframe's blog:

• Octavia Prime
• Tenora Prime
• Pandero Prime
• Octavia Prime Glyphs
• Bombast Instruments Pack
• Glissanda Prime Armor
• Serenidine Prime Syandana
• Aristei Prime Shawzin
• 90-Day Resource (Amount) Booster
• 90-Day Affinity Booster

This also wasn't mentioned on the blog post itself, but the amp pack also comes with 3990 platinum (why it's such a specific number I've never known but have always been curious about).

How do I enter?

To view or enter the giveaway you'll need to head over to the Giveaways page. There you can see what other giveaways are going, view past giveaway winners (which right now are almost exclusively from test giveaways that were created when I was building the new giveaway system) and if you're logged in, you can purchase tickets for the giveaway. The tickets cost stream currency (aka Xa) which can be earned by being at streams or participating in community games or events. The more you participate, the more Xa you can get, the more tickets you can purchase. There are currently no additional modifiers for being a paid supporter - subscribers already earn double Xa in some cases - but I'm considering modifiers that raise the ticket cap based on subscription/patron status, achievements earned, etc. For the time being the ticket cap is above what virtual anyone has the xa balance for, and that's intentional - if you are a supporter and you want to levy that support favor towards the giveaway, you can express that by simply being able to buy more tickets. I'll be keeping an eye on the results of the giveaway to evaluate whether or not this needs adjusting moving forward.

When will the winner be drawn?

The drawing will be held live on stream on March 18th, 2021. You don't have to be viewing the stream in order to win, but I will be reaching out to the winner directly to get their information (In-game name and Platform, so that DE can add the items to your account). With that in mind you don't HAVE to be at that stream to win, but it would be a good idea to be there if you can to make the process of claiming your winnings as pain-free as possible.
Since this is a giveaway of a pack that DE is giving us, the entrants can be on ANY platform - PC, PS4, XB1, and Switch.

Why wait so long to draw the winner?

One of the biggest strengths of the new giveaway system is that it doesn't have to be limited to one stream - Because we can leave the giveaways open longer, anyone can enter regardless of whether or not they are able to make it to that stream. I have chosen to leave the giveaway open for as long as I can so that we can all get the most out of this system. People have the broadest chance to enter (and to earn up Xa for more tickets if they'd like) and I end up with a larger set of data to work with when improving the system moving forward. It's a win-win.

Thoughts? Suggestions? Concerns?

Don't hesitate to reach out to me directly on stream or in Guilded or Discord with any questions or comments about the new giveaway system!
