TriangleMann Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 I don't care how small this detail is, but why are 3 out of the 4 color option all centered on the scabbard, the least important part, while the sword itself is only 1 solid block of color? You had the regular Nikana just fine, DE. What happened for the Dragon version? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pie_mastyr Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 i would hardly say the sheath is the least important part, visually anyway. Look at it this way, it is the only melee with one and even when you are in melee mode it is still sheathed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RealmDestroyer Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 The whole sword is made out of pristine metal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Talia. Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 (edited) IMO the Dragon Nikana wasn't supposed to be released yet. You know that flag thingy in the point of the scabbard? That thing wasn't there when i bought my Dragon Nikana when it was called Nikana and it had the same icon as the regular Nikana. Then they released the hotfix that changed its name and icon, and that flag thingy appeared there. My theory is that the Dragon Nikana slipped through a crack in the U13 but it wasn't supposed to be released just yet. If you look closer, you can see those wrappings in the handle that are colored in the regular Nikana but in the Dragon Nikana they are the same color as the whole blade, if the Dragon Nikana was supposed to be a whole solid piece then why those wrappings in the handle are there? The normal Nikana also have some color-able details that the Dragon Nikana doesn't. I think the weapon is unfinished, that's why... But so many people bought it with platinum that they had to do something about it. Edited April 21, 2014 by RexSol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taiiat Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 well, the Dragon Nikana is Nikana Prime Stat Creep edition - so i'm not surprised that like many 'special' versions of items, it's Color customization is subpar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, where there is stat creep there is lack of color customization. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VKhaun Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Am I really the only person who LIKES this? I set mine to a soft white and the whole thing looks like it's carved out of Ivory or something. It's wicked. Maybe I'd like it if they used the energy color for the blade edge, even while not channeling, but overall I'm very happy with the way it looks solid. The model is not boring or flat, it has lots of features to it with their own appearance. I would however prefer that the Orokin sugatra match the color of the similar looking dangly bit on the back of the scabbard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cemges Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 I have never seen the sword actually. All it is is sheath, sword itself is not visible since its always moving, or sheathed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my attempts to mimic Jetstream Sam, I tried to color my Dragon Nikana's blade red... except it also colors the handle the same color, making it look like a giant toy sword.

Jetstream sam was using a muramasa, a very long tachi sword, bladed side facing down, and its sheath also included a trigger and a magazine, making it explode. Did you really think it would be mimiced in warframe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White, Black, and Greys are the only colors I've found that I can work with for the D.Nikana. Unfortunately, that doesn't fit my color schemes.

rapt0rman Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Yeah, the solid color makes it look like enameled plastic, not too fond of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotoMaru Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 I'd prefer to have the option to change the handle and blade color separately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
