zelklen Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 (edited) Please let us use the regular weapon skin on a prime weapon if we own them both. Reply with "+1" if you support! Edited October 12, 2014 by zelklen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amistyrja Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 I remember asking for the exact same thing about 6 months ago +1 if both the Prime and regular are owned 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noble_Cactus Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 (edited) I'd totally use Paris Prime if I could use the Paris model. Edited February 10, 2014 by Noble_Cactus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsoe Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 they are diferent weapons, do you intend to put gorgon skin on a Boltor too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raigu Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 they are diferent weapons, do you intend to put gorgon skin on a Boltor too? some think that the prime-weapons are really ugly (like the braton with her *squish*-sounds), so an option to change that would be nice... maybe with the other braton skins too... on prime frames you CAN change the helmet, but you had the helmet for the non-prime... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kagee Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 +1 For me, Orthos looks much better than the Prime Version. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyphe Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 same with vandal weapons, once you get both to 30 you should have the option to swap skins 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liverslices Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Agreed OP +1 they are diferent weapons, do you intend to put gorgon skin on a Boltor too? Completly different. Please leave this thread until you have something worthwhile to say. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoCrabs Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 please DE this would make me use all my prime weapons regulary :) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a really good point; you can do it on Prime Warframes, why can't you do it on Prime weapons? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phetaduck Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 they are diferent weapons, do you intend to put gorgon skin on a Boltor too? I would absolutely LOVE to put Gorgon skin on Soma. And if it was available I wouldn't care how much time or money it would cost me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zelklen Posted February 11, 2014 Author Share Posted February 11, 2014 (edited) hrmm um no thnx An interesting statement, to be sure. I wasn't suggesting that they force us to use the regular skins on prime weapons, just that the give us a choice if we own both weapons.

zelklen Posted February 12, 2014 Author Share Posted February 12, 2014 (edited) I'm surprised more people aren't interested in this idea, it seems like giving players a slight choice on the appearance of their weapon could only be a good thing, and it wouldn't require "too much" work on DE's part, since they already have all the skins that would be used, they wouldn't need any new art, sounds or animations, just some new coding, or retooling the code used in allowing alternate helmets to be used for alternate weapon skins.

Noble_Cactus Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 To add to what I said earlier, the old regular Boar sounds amazing. I like the Boar Prime's triple barrel and the fact that it doesn't look like a trash can, but its firing sound is pathetic. Like a faulty sparkplug or something. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MechNexus Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 To add to it, you should probably be allowed to use the old skins if you owned it before, not owning both at the same time - I tend to get rid of my old weapons when I get the primed version, and requiring that you still own the regular version is just annoying - Inventory space isn't cheap, y'know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, I would like to agree with you, but that might require more work on DE's part, they already have some system in place for alternate helmats on warframes. Currently, if you own a Prime Warframe, and the regular warframe, you can put the regular helmat on the prime frame. So it would be nice to be able to do the same thing with weapons.

zelklen Posted February 13, 2014 Author Share Posted February 13, 2014 I think that it is kind of interesting, how a thread about the Paris Prime specifically gets a lot more attention, when this thread focuses on the core of the issue. I don't really care either way, I just want skin alternatives for my weapons. They are already starting to release "skins" for weapons that are really just recoloured textures, so why don't they let us use the regular skins with Prime Weapons, and maybe even release some real alterntive skins to buy and use with weapons as well?

zelklen Posted February 15, 2014 Author Share Posted February 15, 2014 I realised that this afternoon that not only do I not like using the Paris Prime because of the way it looks and sounds, but I also dislike other players using it becuase of the way it sounds.

zelklen Posted February 16, 2014 Author Share Posted February 16, 2014 I was just hanging out in my arsenal screen, when I noticed this: Apparently some weapons can already have different skins, although currently those skins seem to be restricted to texture recolours. So... If the code to allow for different skins is already there... Why can't we use regular skins with prime weapons? Why has DE Steve forsaken us?
