(PSN)haphazardlynamed Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 That's my Feedback I feel like these Protokol pistol skins in the recent NW are immersion breaking breaking the 4th wall to pull models from other game universes If a Tennogen created a skin that made a Warframe look like a character from Counterstrike or CoD that would look good wielding these, DE would reject it outright. Food for thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Food for thought. At least we can fit Dark Sector in WF universe. And unicorn ephemeras make the immersion much worse IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel same way of these skins and probably not going to use them, but I doubt they'll remove them from game so we just have to deal with it.

Warframe is set in our future, in our solar-system. I personally like these skins. We also use bows & crossbows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(NSW)HedEmpTy Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 The "Protokol" skins are all Dark Sector references. Which is at least a spiritual prequel to Warframe, and possibly the same verse, maybe even probably the same verse. (It's fairly heavily implied, although it could just be DE re-using things from their previous IP). Also, I'm not the only person who's pointing out that weapons skins that look like today's guns wouldn't actually be out-of-place, considering Warframe is meant to be set in our solar system, albeit far in the future.

Lemme have the option to receive 50 Nora Credits instead? or better yet, next time keep the rewards on point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those skins are a tribute to their old game that inspired them to create warframe. And although you didn't like them I know alot of people that did. I had a bunch of friends who were excited for the new nightwave having those skins. 1 hour ago, (PSN)haphazardlynamed said: but its still valid feedback that I'm not happy with DE wasting Nightwave Rewards on stuff I won't be using.

DE had a concept for a game, that concept was meddled with by the executives until it became Dark Sector, but Warframe became an opportunity to go back to that original concept and flush it out. For all intents and purposes I would not say they're part of the same universe, because Warframe doesn't expand on Dark Sector necessarily, and makes no direct references to Dark Sector outside of some tongue-in-cheek cameos and references. Though to be honest, I was really hoping Drifter was intended to be the actual original Hayden Tenno by default, before customization. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CopperBezel Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 There have been previous Nightwaves that have had cosmetics I didn't like, like the Infested operator suit and ephemera, and someone else probably did. Those equally did not affect me, because I just don't use them. People complain about the Eros wings or whatever because they see them on other players, but in the world of funky gag skins to run into people using in a public game, ones that make weapons smaller and less obtrusive than they're supposed to be have to be the least possible offense - like it'd be hard to even spot them. So this is literally "make all the Nightwave rewards things I like personally instead of things other people like". Well, no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikhael222 Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 Easy solution is to just not use them. While I personally like the look, I do agree that the new skins, at first glance, feel out of place to the Warframe universe. But the others commenting here made good points that Dark Sector used modern weapons. And even in the in-game Warframe description tells you that these weapons are from a "past era." I'll probably go back and forth with the skins. I don't like the way the Kuva Brakk looks by default, so I like the modern pistol appearance better for that gun. Most of the prime weapons I'd keep their default appearance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(XBOX)Weird Shroom Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 My problem with them is they don't work on akimbo. Lemme put em on my akstiletto primes or something. Mesa with dual revolvers would be neat, but noooo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
