In this thread I want to knuckle down the main things I was visually disappointed with after acquiring her. I believe that she could be a step in the first direction in getting frames that have side animations which are small but happen according to your actions, making them feel more dynamic and alive in the element they focus in. -maybe more frames would need this The black bits that we cannot color should represent parts that are almost separate from the frame itself. Arm Pieces These should be tucked in and come out when you are using her first ability. When gliding from a jump it should come out half way. Gliding Animation Ok, maybe this will get looked at when most movement animations are getting looked at as Zephyr is not the only one with this issue. There should be some animation when you jump and move around or you glide down from her first ability. Just being crouched in the air looks extremely awkward. Chest pieces These again, should be tucked in together, coming out when you are using Turbulence or your shield went down. Coming out half way when getting hit from the front. Shin pieces These should come out when you are using her first ability. As well as when flying backwards from a knockback (such as Jackal). Calf Pieces These should come out when you are using her first ability as well as coming out half way when sprinting. Back Pieces These should be tucked in together, coming out when you are using Turbulence or your shield went down. Coming out half way when getting hit from the back. I appreciate the dangly bits on her default helmet! :D I just feel like these changes could make her feel more dynamic. Like I said, maybe more frames should receive a visual overhaul to add small animations :/ Thanks! Edited August 12, 2014 by noveltyhero Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kestral9999 Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 I read all of that and all I can think in reply is that your Zephyr looks like her "skin" was ripped from her body. If that was the intended effect, bravo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiancaRoughfin Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 *Yawns* I dont see anything wrong on Zephyr`s visual. I play her the whole time and loved her look from the very moment she came out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I play her the whole time and loved her look from the very moment she came out. I understand that, but the dark bits just feel too static. They should be a little more dynamic, she's really cool visually but I don't know maybe this is just me :S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alad_VI Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Zephyr is bootiful. I love her aesthetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My color scheme for Zephyr is still a work in progress ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kestral9999 Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Oh, also, I hate that you post your suggestions as How To's as if your way has been deemed the correct way. It's assuming quite a bit that even the community is going to agree with you (as you can see above) much less that the DE staff will agree with you.

It's assuming quite a bit that even the community is going to agree with you (as you can see above) much less that the DE staff will agree with you. Hmm, I understand what you mean, but they are suggestions as to how DE could do certain things. For example, "how to fix melee combat" suggests how DE could fix it. Maybe some clarification of my intentions should be in place but I thought it was pretty clear :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I "hate" pretty much anything that irks me. Like I said, it's just assuming too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoelleAllogene Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Zephyr looks nice. Only her default color makes people think it's an agile/water type frame. If you want to have a nice visual on Zephyr, color her resembles a real-life bird. A Sparrow, for exampe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her model is really nice and detailed but I suggested things to improve her (not modifying the model by much). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I meant is, Zephyr by design is good looking frame, nothing wrong with that. But her default color makes her looks like a fish than a bird. Yes, I know it's a totally unrelated reply.
