(PSN)Madurai-Prime Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 I never really cared about cosmetics in games until recently. Other people are probably the same and don't want to spend the time and plat to get cosmetics yet, or they just are actual game players and care more about progressing through the game. It's the game and the items that matter, cosmetics never do actually matter, kinda like how people only care if their car can run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheArmchairThinker Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Default appearance has its own charm to some, or people just don't bother to change their appearance Default colors can work though, with a bit of a mix of skins like this Nyx Prime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonFox16 Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 I played thousands of hours and spent no time in changing colours and appearance in general. The only thing i did was using a skin that was gifted to me (due to respect) and occasionally, i adapt weapon colours to fit the colours of the warframe. Thats it. It's just no game content for me. In generally, i like how the warframes look. Most of them have a special thema going on and i don't want to change what a designer thought looks good and fit to it.

AzureScion Posted August 30, 2021 Author Share Posted August 30, 2021 Using default warframe color schemes can be understandable. I like how a lot of them look, like some prime frames (Mesa, Wukong, Nezha, etc) and sometimes I do sport their default look because I enjoy them. But at least I always have a idle stance on, no matter it be a Rhino using Gara stance or Nyx using Harrow stance. What I'm curious about is how the people I'm talking about don't even bother to change their idle stance to their default frame stance. I guess maybe they just like the default slightly hunched bland idle stance, idk. Also at the very least I match my weapons colors to the frames color which can be done within a press of a button, but yeah some just go with whatever color the default is. Like I said, imagine blue-red wukong with black-gold Kronen sheathed and a grey-green kuva nukor hanging on their waist. I find it rather..... weird. Oh also another thing they also tend to have the default sigil - the gray colored lotus symbol one. I mean seriously.. I'm not trying to dictate how other people have fun but I just can't grasp how they enjoy the game. Which is why I was wondering if they were speedrunning through the game all the way to MR30 or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did forgot that there is something like an idle stance at all. Where can i change it? You mean that icon? Yeah. I am MR28 and still have that grey lotus thingy running. I like it. I find it funny how you base fun and enjoyment on the avatar looking good and you transfer that to others and then question it when they don't play like you. Other players just have different priorities. Excluded are players with colorful warframes whose weapons do not match. These are monsters. I agree with you there. 🤨 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, long as I got my options to approach a fight how I will, fashion tends to fall to the wayside since I’m too focused on the fight 👍 (sometimes it’s nice to look interesting while fighting, but I prefer the fight over the fashion) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace-Bounty-Hunter Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Because colour palettes cost platinum and the majority of players aren't Warframe Market Tycoons like some people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lokryn Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 I don't change the colors on a frame I just received because I'm not sure if they will be in my rotation of playable frames. Once I've mastered the frame, then I make that decision and change the colors to my liking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Invisibleaxeman Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 I cycle random colours on the frame until I stop throwing up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MqToasty Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 While I personally enjoy challenging other players' eyeballs and make Ordis' sensors bleed pleased with weird fashion frame choices (Sailor Nezha says hi!), I get it that not everyone enjoys playing dress-up. If they don't care about it and haven't collected many color palettes, then why would they waste time fiddling with it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackdragonbird Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 1600h and I only ever bothered to pimp up my Octavia last May. Fashion frame is vanity, in terms of gameplay is useless, and a good portion of players play the game for the gameplay and mechanics. Also there's a thing called taste, and it changes from people to people. Some bother to try to look cool inside a virtual world made of pixels and fantasy, others not. Simple as that I think.

nebfab Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Two most obvious reasons are that palettes cost plat (yes, you can get some decent free ones, but...) And stuff you can do with free colours is limited, defaults often look better. Or the frame is destined for helminth and weapons for deletion anyway, so... I personally often actually like default colours, so, while I customize them some, they end up being close to the originals anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MakotoSmile Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Started playing this year. Vanilla is best flavor 😁 Like some said Im usually satisfied with the colors the design team has chosen, the imersion aspect and sometimes I change tipo get bored and go back to default aesthetic. Weapon painting is even rarer for me to do. The stance thing Ive discovered at Mr 21 lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 For me. If I have a full on default frame with no customization. Then it means I don't care about the frame. I use them a couple times here and there but I don't like the frame or item enough to even hit "random" on it. The frames I like, I'll add colors to them and I'll match the weapons I like to the frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRonHoover Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 I usually change the default a bit but I'm not really into playing dressup much, when I log on I want to shoot things. I change the colours to my liking usually but I don't really spend a lot of time worrying about it, I haven't even looked at most of the cosmetic stuff I have earned so far. If I could, I'd deck them all in some kind of prismatic camo that changed with the tileset or just flat out disguise myself as a grineer/corpus etc, or wear a humble hood and cloak until it was time to be a space ninja, my preference would be to not stand out at all.

I agree with you there. 🤨 Well yeah apologize for getting a little bit too aggressive there. I just didn't expect some people to actually like the default stuff, like, there are a lot of customization options, I wasn't expecting people to not get tempted and overwhelmed (I know I did) by the sheer amount of available customization options or by the thought of dressing up their frames or even just as much as putting a new sigil after using the grey one for a long while. Hey at least they're not throwing buckets of all sorts of paints over their warframes and proceed to torture people with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

o0Despair0o Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 13 hours ago, AzureScion said: but does anyone have any idea why? There was a time when I kept my Mesa's color close to default because I liked the color scheme, but after a while I changed it because I have this need to customize everything. Like, when DE added the option to recolor our HUD, I basically celebrated my birthday early. I always wanted to change those colors. I think there are multiple reasons why people do this, but the most likely reason is simply because they like the color scheme. For example, default Ember Prime looks decent, but default Hyldrin is absolutely horrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xcrimsonlegendx Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 I use the default on Nidus and then the Tenno 2 color picker to color all of my infested items to match, its already a perfect coloration for the frame and his infested bits. Those colors are the default for the Helminth charger too as well as the infested orbiter deco coming with Nidus prime access. So in short... I like it?

Kaggelos Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 If a frame's design sucks but it's abilities are great, im not touching it. If a frame's design rocks, but abilities suck, i aint touching it either. It needs to have both of those for me to work. Baruuk and Chroma for example. Great abilities, horrible aesthetics (for me). Great design, horrible abilities (again, for me), respectively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
