New Concepts

[(XBOX)UltraMagnus5000]

Warframe skins would have an effect on Warframe's ability strength, range, efficiency, duration, energy, and maybe the passive ability of a Warframe. We all know that Volt, Ember, Saryn, and Frost have a connection to Chroma, so there should be a skin for all them that change their passive to be similar to chroma elemental ward. Also, it should be the same for Excalibur he too has a connection to chroma because he and Chroma are the only Warframes that their energy will affect their ability/abilities. Lastly, there should be a Warframe that is like Chroma but for Zephyr, Hydroid, and Atlas.

uh...no, they've long since decided to make it so that comsetics don't have an affect of gameplay, the only exceptions are remnants of an old system

[Dhrekr]

Turns out "new concept" means "old concept that has already been implemented, tried, rejected, and completely forgotten".

No, it's not going to happen. DE hated this idea so much that they actually retired old content.

Ooohboy.

Let's try break this down.

So... skins should affect gameplay? Not gonna happen, I'm afraid. They originally did that with helmets, but they discontinued that, redubbing them Arcane Helmets. There's a few deluxe skins that do that, and they're non-purchasable to my knowledge, or at least available for free unlike other deluxes. Even arcanes got moved from cosmetics recently. So, skins changing abilities is never going to happen. Ever.

Two, a Warframe that has abilities from those lesser-focused elements does sound interesting. But what you've suggested is far too sparse to really pass judgement on.

Only cosmetics that have buffs are Arcane helmets and a Fragor skin that you get from alerts(dont know if it still works or removed) and I think its better if they add more mods rather than cosmetics that change stats

Tying perfomance to cosmetics is a HORRIBLE IDEA! That's my main issue with Chroma and, until recent times, Arcanes.

dear lord no. this is exactly what DE did in warframe's early years with Arcane helmets and early weapon skins like the Brokk and manticore. they stopped because they realised that skins affecting gameplay is an absolute no-no. you're asking them to do the exact opposite of this.

1. this goes into feedback not general
2. DE will NEVER make again have cosmetics be tied with abilities or power buffs

what your wanting is to force players to all look simliar an take away peoples chocies on looking the way they want in there warframes

This was already attempted with the implantation of Arcane helmets way back in the day They didnt work out since people liked having there customization separate from their stats that and the helmets effects always had a down side to using them and they just didn't effect much it was like 10% nudges here and there so DE dropped the concept and never did it again the arcane helmets are still in the game for you to trade for but besides that the only time skins change how abilities work is visually and its probably going to stay that way sorry bud

Do you want to see people running with the same skins because it's a meta skin? Because that's how you get people running with the same skins because it's a meta skin.
