Really cool idea... ..:: Badges ::..


Recommended Posts

//Insert sparkly introduction music and expensive lightshow 

I present to you the magnificent idea of BADGES.

We already have emblems to display on our shoulders ... but there isn't enough space to display all of them. 

I'd like some kind of bandalier or sleeve or whatever kind of garment to display lots of little medal ribbons and qualification badges on our Warframes. Similar to boy scouts or army cadets, that sort of thing. Or just scatter the badges anywhere they'll damn well fit.

In regards to garments like Limbo's hat, button badges would be extremely nerdy and spectacular.

A bit like this picture below. Sort of. Not quite, but I think you might get the gist.

Thoughts?

I wouldnt mind something like that for the Operator. Tho it would have to be limited. Perhaps part of a ceremonial set of some type.

Just thinking about the logistics involved for making it fit on 40+ Warframes the cloth physics and redoing art for all emblems to be modular makes me lose hair. Still nifty idea tho!

Think the closest we will get is the chest decorative ribbons already in the game tho.

Now, that picture of a horse convinced me. I was skeptical, but how could I resist.

But I want to hang them on my Rhino's codpiece. 40 medals. From that codpiece.

 

If the implementation of this idea isn't centered around the codpiece, it's worthless to me.

I do wish we had much more control of placing Sigils on our Warframes. Make them bigger and smaller than the current slider allows. Heck maybe I want to use more than one sigil on my front or maybe I want to put the sigils on my calf. You don't know what I do in my spare time.

oh and neutering the way syndicate affinity gain is tied to specific sigils

considering the limited space we can stick new things, maybe a cosmetic belt system that can slot in multiple emblems. (maybe up to 6 max in a loop/full circle around your waist, could have them static or slowly rotating as an option).

or you could just ask for a Tennogen Chest Armor piece that's a blank metal piece with different badges on it. it's less work than having to make an entirely new cosmetic slot for every single new and existing frame. they could add Syndicate Armor sets where you wear a badge with a logo on it.

Shoulder emblems, by military tradition, demonstrates alliegences on the battlefield. If we ever get open warfare implemented with certain HUD visual aids turned off, these would suddenly become very useful.

We already have rank glyphs, if we want to use them, for formal command application. I'm not sure if any clans and alliances out there do actually use 'rank' as historically intended in this liberal day and age, but the option's available at least. The critics amongst us tell us that Mastery Rank means nothing in practical terms; a MR29 can still be the proverbial village idiot, for instance. Likewise, If a clan says that a MR9 must obey a MR10's command, so be it, that's that clan's choice of operation.

Badges on the chest or a bandolier displays a soldier's specialist qualifications and prior experiences so that allied officers and others know, at a glance, who perhaps can operate a big gun, piece of machinery or perhaps engineer entrenchment and whether they have recognised honour and can draw on experience from previous battles to help run the war more smoothly. Medals used to be and still are very important in this way and not just as a treasured trophy. Americans will know what it means if someone wears a purple heart, for instance.

Since this is Warframe, badges seem to be useful if only petty in practice. It would be a nice touch, aesthetically, and a slight nod to military traditions, generally speaking.

warframe dont need more cosmetics....need real content.

The irony being WF makes a lot of money on cosmetics. Not that I disagree with your sentiment as I'd like to see more story content, but for Fashion Frame players concerning cosmetics that is their content. Every time a topic like this gets going in any game I am reminded of this. Just another perspective to listen to.
