Serinexxa Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 (edited) In this recent mainline update, the Moa's default Drimper brackets have changed to a new appearance. It's much thicker, and I personally preferred the thinner legs on my several Moa companions as I use them very often. Could this change be reverted and these new legs given their own blueprint? I really loved the Drimper brackets and their Corpus theme and hate to see pet diversity lowered as well. Below, I have a picture of my beloved companion before and after the update. It has less colour variation and is much bulkier. Almost Grineer-like. If my request is unreasonable, may we see a market skin that gives the mass production appearance of your typical Moa? We have the Degenerate skin for Helminth Charger, the Hyekka/Moonless skin for Kavats, and the Drahk/Underbrush skin for Kubrows. Why can't the Moa be Corpus? It feels like an odd exception.

Grey_Star_Rival_Defender Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 Weird thing is, those look exactly like the "melee Moa" brackets from 2~ or so Devstreams ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zsword Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 I'm going to come in and +1 this, I've also double checked the notes and I don't see anything mentioning a visual update to the Drimper so I'm wondering if it was quite unintentional. I myself was also using the sleek default design for my model citizen JEEVES and he's gotten a little chunkier for no reason. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.V1n Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Agreed. Was crafting that exact setup recently. Was aiming for the looks obviously since the Drimper has no advantages whatsoever compared to the others. So sad they decided to make it so beefy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCBeastie Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 Keeping this going; I don't like any of the new MOA legs, less detailed, blobby, gross. Old Drimper back please, but with better tint masks cos we couldn't do anything with the metal parts before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grey_Star_Rival_Defender Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 I'm really surprised DE hasn't acknowledged this as far as I know. Since, what, are they just waiting to change it back for when they actually add the new Moa parts with Scarlet Spear? Is the new Moa even coming with Scarlet Spear?

Zendadaist Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 All of my older moas now have the new chunky legs and actually, I'm not at all happy that I didn't get a choice on whether to keep the old ones or not. My sleek moa now looks distinctly un-sleek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voidbirds Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 (edited) Definitely a bug/error. Hell, the ungilded version still uses the original textures- which are, of course, super #*!%ed on the new model. Also, yes, we definitely should have production model skins/part options for our moas. I still have a screenshot from a stream where they had bursa legs on a player moa, and I still want that as one of mine, both functionally and cosmetically.

(PSN)Bunker-Birdy Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 Yeah. The Chonky Brackets deffinitely aren't very good looking. I'd like to have the classic Drimper look back please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salvator_Dracerta Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 The new model is not that bad. But only when the old one is still there. I think it would be a bug about file name localizing or something. But if it was intentional, please change it back. And add that model as a new one if you want. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll also note that the update notes for 3.6 said they fixed the appearance of drimper, but uh: It's still there, in all it's ugly clunkiness, taking the sleek out of my dapper boy. (I used Legs location for this screenshot cause the patch notes only said 'in Legs preview', but uh, my own dapper boy is still affected: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xarteros Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 I'd desperately like to see the old model back. Most of the others have too many design elements of the Grineer rather than Corpus, and old Drimper was the only one that actually suited the Corpus theme. I'm all for a straight up revert, and they can make the new model have a place somewhere as a new skin or leg part 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lancars Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 I have this bug as well and i'm annoyed. I chose the legs i wanted and they forcefully change them on me is not good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChibiNinja Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 i've been using helios so much lately i havent noticed it until now. I hope this gets fixed too because i liked the old legs. i made a LOT of moas and a bunch use this leg type; the thin legs were more fitting but now they just look bad O_o i cant use them until this is fixed and i dont want to reconstruct them with something new all over again... If they turned this new look into a separate design then cool i can make more moas, but at least change this one back to the old one; i'd rather not have to remake a bunch of the moas i made previously 😕 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zsword Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 I was just checking to see if this was addressed yet in the patch and nope. 😞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maxim_M_Payne Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 I don't even have a custom Moa from Legs, and I still agree that this should be reverted. Part of their charm is their modular nature as a robotic "pet"; and anybody that built their Moa with Drimper Bracket's old appearance explicitly picked the default, non-modified Bracket because they thought those iconic, tapering robo-chicken Corpus legs were the most endearing. If we must have the heavy-duty Grineer-ish legs, make them a new Bracket altogether. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moa's arent used as much as sentinels (which even i didnt notice it for a while for that exact reason,) and hopefully the devs are working on more important game-breaking bugs. Still hope they see that this is an issue though, we all like our fashion frames and in this case fashion moas lol. more than likely I'll be checking back in this forum from time to time.

DeltaPangaea Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 If this were an accident, I'd think it wouldn't take DE THREE MONTHS to get to it. Which is kinda scuzzy if they're just changing the entire appearance of something on the fly with zero regard for the people who liked it how it was. But then they've done that for major gameplay and controls so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping that maybe not enough people have noticed it yet so people havent really reported it, like others said above most people tend to use the sentinels anyways, but who knows. If enough people dislike it though they might change it back; thats worked with other things anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waterkonijn Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 I just came back to Warframe and noticed this too, I really don't appreciate this design change. It doesn't look too bad but it's the fact they replaced my existing model that doesn't sit right with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serinexxa Posted June 6, 2020 Author Share Posted June 6, 2020 I'm hoping it gets patched eventually. I put a lot of care into creating the perfect moa, so it kinda stings to have purely aesthetic design choices taken away without a word. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SerahFarron Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 Noted this error as well. All the legs are ugly except for the drimper one, which in-game model does not match the UI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zsword Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Giving this a last bump to make sure it's as fresh as possible on the teams minds when they're adding the new Moa. And if the New Moa has the old Drimper model legs as a 'new' option then I think it's time I called my peace with this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ungorisz Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 (edited) 28.0.0 dropped, the new Hona Bracket is the same as the "new" bugged Drimper Bracket, so they messed up and both uses the same texture. Edited June 11, 2020 by Ungorisz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
