Helmet Visual Option

[(PSN)Blackie___Chan]

My suggestion would be to have you be able to change the skin of your helmet while having  a different helmet actually equipped. I can, sort of, see the PvP advantage of knowing a helmet and having a light idea of what their build is, we know that there is almost no way of knowing the other person's build so that is a unrealistic roadblock.

 

It'd be nice for instance to pick keep the ember prime helmet look while getting the bonus for one of her stat helmets.

Pvp builds he says...heh

I would like to have the stats of a helmet without the look of one.  (I prefer the look of the standard helmets on certain frames)  I could care less about PvP though.

Oh I know a game that does exactly this, You can have X armor and helmet equipped but you can select a different armor and helmet as your "armor  and helmet costume."

In PvP you see the real gear your enemy is wearing, Costumes don't work there.

I understand some helmets look worse than others and vice versa. However if you want the bonus of a certain helmet it seems only fair that you wear it.

 

As for PVP, I think it would be interesting if there was a mode where you could not see any info about youe enemy until you physically see them while fighting. That would make things interesting.

Just make all helmets cosmetic.

 

Problem solved, forever.

Helmets won't have stats anymore, and the ones that do already will probably have those stats removed some day.

Amen

Can't happen soon enough some of them were just mistakes anyway.  

 

Nothing sucks more than I wanna wear that helmet because it looks cool but it hurts me or I want that effect but the helmet looks stupid.

Finally we agree on something!

This is really good for primes too, since people like to use their alt helmet with their stats but in turn, can't show off that pimped out prime helmet, or vice versa/what have you. Either way yeah I'd appreciate being able to have the stats of one helmet while being able to choose another as a 'skin,' though unfortunately this is only relevant to pre U10 helmets, since they're purely cosmetic now. But then again this would also solve the issue people had with liking the look of a helmet but not the stats it gave, etc etc.

I wouldn't mind alternate helmets being made purely cosmetic.  The bonuses are overall pretty minor (save for some like Vanguard that one could argue need to go away anyway) and in many cases are actually a hindrance (looking at you, Ash helmets).

 

If the stats have to stay, they should probably be segregated from helmets via some kind of Systems Chip that would fit into a single slot each warframe would have (which would also free up the ability to add new Systems Chips for warframes that don't have any, and more than two for existing warframes).

I want the exact opposite. The new helmets look so damn silly, nobody is using them anymore, seriously. The stats were the only thing which made me buy them, now I'm simply waiting for the alerts to pop up.

Yep, That game is the reason I like Warframe so much.

 

Well they said that all Helmet stats will be removed so, I guess this is how they will fix this problem.

Actually I don't see why it's such a big deal when you want to wear an alt helmet though ones stat might be poor in comparison to another.

Take Vauban for example, both look pretty good, but I've grown attatched to the Espirit Helm. That and it looks like it matches up better to his immortal skin than the default one or the Gambit.

Now there are some frames like Mag that it doesn't matter what you choose, all helmets look ugly...well her Gauss helm looks pretty cool now.

With that new 'focus' thing coming up, we can all do this.

So for people who're Mag Primes, for example, wanting the effect of the Coil helmet but wanting the look of the Gauss helm, they can do that and not have to worry about 'giving away' their particular strategies.

Also PvP is not going to get any better on this game I don't think, so...people who want any form of decent pvp should go play something else...sorry Warframe isn't a PvP game as much as Call of Duty is a game filled with very grown up, mature and respectful players who have very good sportsmanship.

i remember hearing the idea that the stats from the helmets are removed and made into alternate systems instead, i thought that was a pretty good idea

That still wouldn't solve the issue with the newer Warframes not getting the options, though.

[Cyberdown]

Yes please...remove the stats from helmets...

 

if you want a modifier thing, do it on a separate slot for helmet mods...some orokin dowacky that you can add to the helmet to trade shield for health or something.
