Archwizard Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 (edited) The design council poll to release frames listed, as its fifth and final option, "Earth" (nebulously defined as either rock or nature). Barring Oberon - whom DE has officially titled a "Paladin", implying a Light/Holy element - every frame released since Update 9 has been an option on the DC poll, released in an order corresponding to the winning number of votes. And yet, whenever the subject is broached about the fifth option, there is some small outcry that DE has "already said they won't make an earth frame." Where/when did DE make such a claim? And how can we say for certain that it's not an outdated one? Edited March 20, 2014 by Archwizard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukeAura Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 (edited) I would imagine an Earth frame would be very strong defensively, so I'd imagine once they pin down Frost our current 'defensive' king to where he accomplishes his design nicely, they'll start working on the competition to his throne.Other than that idea, *shrug* Edit: Actually went and dug out that poll to check the results.Considering since the Hawkframe did just come out which now leaves the earth frame, I'm guessing my idea might actually be more plausible. Huh. Edited March 20, 2014 by LukeAura Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VKhaun Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Oberon pretty much came out of left field. So did Vauban IIRC. I wouldn't be surprised at all if an earth frame popped up next Wednesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archwizard Posted March 20, 2014 Author Share Posted March 20, 2014 All I'm asking in this thread is, when and where did they say "We'll never make an Earth frame." Because if it was on the DC poll, you'd think that they'd be willing to make that sacrifice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volume Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Isn't Rhino earth frame? Stop even sends chunks of earth/rock/metal/whatever into the air? shield isn't really "iron" etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)UpscaleSteamX Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 where do I find these polls, to look at because I was under the impression we were getting dragon frame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arlayn Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 (edited) An earth frame should be more like Mag(magnetic), or Nyx's(psychic) big brother in where he can raise the earth itself, or the floor of a ship shaping it into defensive, or offensive forms for more control in a fight in a magnetic, or psychic manner, or both...

Earth frame could still happen... where do I find these polls, to look at because I was under the impression we were getting dragon frame you won't they are only in the deign council, and viewable by Grand Master, and Masters only.(or people invited to be in design council) Edited March 20, 2014 by Arlayn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ_Redwire Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 I haven't seen anyone comment saying that "DE said Earth frame ain't gonna happen" but if they did I would certainly wish to see their source on that as well. All that aside, it would not surprise me if DE skipped the earth frame due to the fact is was the least popular option, and probably still is.

Barbetti Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 (edited) An "earth"-based Warframe, although it sounds highly defensive, would probably make for a high offense/defense tank-type Warframe. Lots of power possibilities, too. Rhino is more of a "physical"-type Warframe. Edited March 20, 2014 by Barbetti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerZeyCJ Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 I imagine an "Earth frame" would be a bit too similar to Frost/Rhino. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ritchel Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 i expected the earth frame to summon a thick bush and hide in it. or grow plants that chokes enemies, lul. - but oberon is allright, i just dont like how he looks, personal prefs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

8bit_Ghost Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 I would like the earth frame to actually be a plant frame. Like, he uses vine whips to stun enemies too close and has seed bomb powers and maybe a sticky sap power that enemies can't walk out of but can still shoot. I've actually been meaning to post about it but I also wanna supply pics and my pictures just haven't been great lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
