I love my melee. I use melee every opportunity I get, and sometimes I run exterminations cloak and dagger style just for the sweet satisfaction of slitting a few dozen grineer's throats.
Used to run capture missions like that too, but sometimes the capture target didn't die after I assassinated them and alerted everyone :(
Anyway, I'm proud to say my melee weapons see probably a 1/4 as much use as my guns at this point.

My gaming fund is still down to "bare minimum levels"(enough to get all the games I want this year, nothing more, nothing less) from the last one, and my backup funds are too low for me to feel safe drawing from due to school costing a lot more than what was expected... We'll see. If I get it I'll probably upgrade over time like I did with the last one. Or if Thiefs reviews suck I'll just get throw in what I was planning to throw Thief's way. That was a gift card anyway :P

I think I'll stick to my grinlok...

Maybe changing the color of the writing to white in google drive and then copying it would work for making it easier to read in the forums? Other than that, my one quirk with your idea is how much fire is in it. It sounds a bit too much like ember. Maybe having it as energy instead?
The fire motif is already occupied by Ember, I'm sad to say. There are many other routes still open. A water based warframe, for example. Or an earth based one. Or a plantlife based one. Or animal life. Or something that isn't void, tech, electricity, fire, ice, sound, antimatter/explosives, poison, mind control, wind, healing, melee,death, magnetism, tank, stealth, introduction/balanced, or teleportation based warframe.
Hmm... Would you be open to an illusion based flame or something of that sort that cause panic upon damaging enemies rather than burn? Or would that just be marching into loki/nyx territory making a bigger mess?

Before I paste everything from my g-drive, I'd like to apologize for my inability to effectively explain things with words. I'd appreciate feedback on what needs work, as it would not only help me improve this concept, but help me later down the line with possible future concepts.
So it seems copy and past resulted in black text. Ugh.
Edit: Fixed, but I can't read it in the editor.
Dyrnwyn
Background of Dyrnwyn in legends: When drawn by a well born, good hearted man, legend states that Dyrnwyn will release flames incinerating all enemies.
Background of this idea: In honor of melee 2.0 I decided to try my hand at a melee focused frame.
Early thoughts: things that a melee frame needs-
-Survivability. A melee fighter is going to take the most damage.
-Mobility and endurance. A melee fight will need to be quick enough to approach an enemy while retaining enough stamina to prove effective with melee attacks.
-Damage boost. Melee weapons tend to fall flat vs guns due to dishing out significantly less damage.
-The Warframe ability. Warframes tend to have an ability that matches their theme. Dyrnwyn is a flaming sword that incinerates all enemies.
-Trade offs. Nobody can have everything.
Stats:
Health: 400
Shields 350
Energy: 150
Armor: 30
Stamina: 95
Concepts for abilities:
1-Cleansing Flames- Dyrnwyn creates an orb of fire around himself as he recovers a portion of health and shields. The orb lasts for a small amount of time. Attacking the orb results in a small pulse of an illusionary flames that result in a short duration of the panic effect.
---Thoughts on the animation- Dyrnwyn stabs his weapon into the ground before creating the orb of flames.
2-Pheonix wing- Dyrnwyn swings his melee weapon unleashing an illusion of a flying slash of fire moving forward. The size of the attack increases with distance traveled. Targets hit enter a panicked state.
---The shape of the projectile was originally envisioned to look like a phoenix.
3-The Sword of Fire- Dyrnwyn ignites his weapon with illusinary fire for a large amount of time, dealing causing a panic state and increasing the weapon’s range.
4-Burning Soul- Dyrnwyn is encased in illusionary flames and begins levitating. Dyrnwyn’s movement speed is increased. Melee range is increased. Pressing space will result in wings of flames appearing behind Dyrnwyn, propelling him up. Holding space allows him to glide. Can press space up to 4 times without returning to “ground level”, or normal levitation height. Pressing shift while gliding results in rapid forward movement will descending faster. Dashing into enemies deal damage. Attacks on enemies cause panic.
---Melee range stacks with Sword of Fire
What do I mean by the “panicked state”. The enemies see themselves burning as a result of Dyrnwyn’s abilities. As a result they:
Have decreased accuracy or stop shooting as they try to put out the fire.
Run around, possibly into other enemies line of fire where they take damage.
Take an increased amount of damage.
An alternative to the theme of illusionary flame warframe can be the nightmare warframe, but that would need a new name as "Dyrnwyn" has little to no relation with nightmares
Again, sorry if I am hard to understand regarding some things.(or all)

Edit: my thoughts on poster's replies for those of you who don't want to open the link:
Notes taken from forum posts-
Notes taken from forum posts-
To similar to ember?
--Thoughts. Ya.. Fire is embers thing. I tried to keep Dyrnwyn somewhat related to the folklore of the blade by keeping fire as its primary attribute/element. Also I tried to make him more of a “in your face” melee fighter rather than a “back line castor” that I personally see Ember as. Other than that, their similarities are generally limited to their use of fire.
Poster 2 agrees with poster 1.
--Hmm.. How about an illusionary flame instead of true fire that causes panic rather than burn effects? Or would that be stepping too far into Loki or Nyx territory?
VKhaun- Noted what you said about ability one possible being a knockdown recovery ability or something of that sort- like the idea, but might be a bit overpowered actually. Too many applications and what not. When writing ability 2 I also thought about damage fall off. Not to sure how I feel about it, thats why it was not originally added in. Also your post was written as I was modifying it to illusion based with the panic effect- perhaps that can solve some of your issues with the frame?

Everything reaches 3.0.
A decent sized population, similar to the current one though starting to shrink.
PvP is a thing.
40 is warframes, the last prime frames released and a new line of super frames has just begun.
200 weapons at least. Even the soma is a thing of the past.
All bosses are finished.
endgame.
Story missions.
16 man raids.
[Rant removed]
That's all I got

I mean the actual pieces, yes. (Chassis, Systems, and helmet) Should the entire trade channel be told they cannot be traded then?
What I'm saying is they CAN be traded as blueprints(thats what people are trading, blue prints). I believe if you build that blue print, it becomes a completed piece and no longer be traded.
Example: I had a frost prime chassis blue print. I built that blue print to get a frost prime chassis. I can no longer trade that chassis to another player.
Example 2: I have a frost prime chassis blue print. Like the plat greedy dog I am I immediately sold it to another player with no issues.
What you can sell is what you find directly in the void and mods. If you find something as a blueprint you need to sell it as that blue print. If you find a weapon part that is not a blue print, say a paris prime string you can trade that.
Above is what I've learned from my own experiences.
-
Are you sure they were all blue prints? You can't trade a completed frost prime piece(chasis, systems, helm). You can only trade those in blue print form.
-
assasinations when you get no shields
brrrr
Those are the times that you need to actually assassinate the target.(not attempt to brutally murder him)
Sadly you'll end up with that one guy with the soma letting the entire system know where you are regardless :(
-
No. Last livestream was extended, and in that part they stated that the current build they had ready to go wasn't enough to match the hype, so they started adding more/improving what they got. Its ETA is early next month, so March 5th or March 12th are my guesses unless they make a new announcement.
-
As others have said Rhino is good for new players as his durability forgives a lot of mistakes.
Out of the others listed ember is my favorite because fireball spam. but to be able to do that nearly indefinitely you need a lot of the more difficult to obtain mods.
A team of players is more likely to appreciate a nyx, due to her chaos ability and her 4.
Oberon... Never played him. Couldn't tell ya much about him
-
All I want to see is a gram prime and I'll be happy
-
I would love to have my own emblem... if I ever got around to designing one
The problem is the general player base's level of maturity. What happens when people use their own icons? See CoD. It requires massive moderation, and I doubt DE wants to put up with that.
-
New guns, new frames, a new look for earth with a new mission. New prime is hopefully scheduled for next week
-
Its still going on.
Melee 2.0 confirmed not next week due to more stuff being added in as of this morning
-
The odds are against me?

In my opinion the game has grown to much to fast population wise over the course of the year. The end result is the game no longer functioning as a true beta, and DE know it. Because of that they're rushing new weapons to keep players around while other teams focus on things that would otherwise have been the primary focus of the entire company such as the end game, story, ect.
Based on what DE has done over the last year I've reached a conclusion that they are focusing on increasing profit during this late beta stage- which no one can blame them for... alright, some people will, but those people would fail Business 101. To increase profits they have introduced the game to a large population who then has the option to pay so they can participate in the in game market(which has grown as of last patch), avoid time walls, and quickly obtain items while avoiding grinds. It is a pretty sound business strategy in the short term(in my opinion), but will most likely result in problems later on.
Back on topic: Are we still testing the game?
Short answer: No.
At this point I'm playing the game because I enjoy it. Not because I'm hunting for bugs and glitches(though I have seen one thats been annoying me for a few patches. Maybe I'll make a video showing it next time I'm on)

Brain... it hurts...
TO MANY WORDS!!!
-
And then neither Loki or Rhino are the next prime... :P
The Devs are aiming for the end of the month(next week), but aiming can also mean that they could miss it.

Warframe was originally envisioned many, many, many years ago. Sadly no publishers were willing to back DE as the ventured into this new territory. A few years later after the launch of dark sector, the game that was originally intended to be somewhat what we see now, warframe was put back into production and... well, here we are.
I can definitely see where you are coming from with the Mass Effect thing, and I would not be too surprised if they took a few elements, but I believe the missions were well into production by the time Mass Effect 3 was released.

Turns out you can stick them to your teammates!
I propose a tactic where we cover Loki in them and have him teleport into mobs of enemies :D
