Otakuwolf Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Is that a lot of players seem "fallen from the clouds" about the Excalibur frame. Before of the proto-armor skin it was one of the most underrated frames of all, now that this new version of him pops up in the shop everyone seems like in love for it... I don't know if, as main Excalibur player, find it funny or stupid that such a versatile warframe has to be rated as a "noob frame" most of the time because is a starter and then all of a suddent being liked just because of a new feature that makes it different from every other one till this point. Maybe i'm just being a bit overdramatic but i kinda find it unfair that people have to "abandon" the Excalibur as soon as possible to pick some "mass destruction" warframe, and THEN go nuts for Excalibur because of an unique skin... Feels kinda like TF2 players going nuts about "rare hats". Side note: Has anybody noticed that the "right arm" isn't actually a suit but the own arm of the Tenno ?

Kingdingaling Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 (edited) Yes I do know what you mean, I liked Excalibur before everyone hopped on the band wagon . Oh yea and the Proto skin is actually Hayden Tenno's suit from dark sector. EDIT: Lol, a lot of hipster references. (Knew that would happen) Edited March 27, 2014 by Kingdingaling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sedant Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 (edited) Tennocyte virus taking hold. So yeah right arm is what happens when you get the virus (its not a suit its his skin), the glaive was said to have been formed outta his arm too making it techo-organic.

ShadowCore67 Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Excalibro Prime is my favorite frame in the game. I just play other frames because even I get tired of playing him sometimes. I love Excals appearance and this skin just made me love him more. It is quite a shame Excal is deemed low tier because of him being a starter. But if people want to underrate him, thats their choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dancingknight Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 I played with Excalibur a lot before the release of this new skin. This new development might actually let people play him more and realize that he isn't so bad. His radial blind can take him to end game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rathie Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 (edited) Yes I do know what you mean, I liked Excalibur before everyone hopped on the band wagon . Oh yea and the Proto skin is actually Hayden Tenno's suit from dark sector. "I liked Thick rimmed glasses before they where cool!" Does it even matter? To be honest it happens with anything, if a new gun comes out everyone jumps on that for a bit. It'll cool down after awhile anyway. EDIT: Spelling EDIT 2 : also I agree with the arm, you can see the energy seeping out of it. Edited March 27, 2014 by Rathie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanicEnemy Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 I don't like or I like excalibur it's a fun warframe but not powerful like others but today I was playing dark sector and that new skin is remind of me Hayden Tenno. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 (edited) I liked Excalibur before everyone hopped on the band wagon. I used to be a hipster like you... but then it became too mainstream. On topic, Excalibur is not bad, it's just meh. The new skin just turned it into the coolest-looking warframe around in the eyes of many. Me included.

Kloaked Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 I've always used Excalibur, even before the skin. Dat Radial Blind.But I know what you mean OP. It's mainly because the skin is so badass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Un1337ninj4 Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Almost best CC, second best Mobility, nowhere near the best Damage until you get so much modding in their that the swords just rain from the heavens. I love my Excal. (But I love my Mag, Nyx, Zephyr, Volt, and Ember more >:3 Not necessarily due to effectiveness, just my playstyle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orbister Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 yes i agree with you, im more worried about the nostalgia factor though... i hope it does not become a pattern, i do own the proto skin, its cool, its different, i dont really use it much, i like my Immortal Pendragon Excalibur better, i just hope that nostalgia does not weight so much in future decisions.

direcyphre Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Bandwagoners? Its a fancy new skin that isn't in the same style as the rest of the current warframes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 i just hope that nostalgia does not weight so much in future decisions. I think it's more related to the Warframe open beta anniversary than an actual nostalgia thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LikeABawsh Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Well no, it's not ironic at all. People just want to sow off their fancy new skin, even if they think that the frame that lies within is terrible. I suppose some just enjoy feeling different.

Llyssa Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 It's a nice skin, and if you're shelling out 150 plat for it, you sure as heck are going to play with it a bit. Excal himself isn't bad, but he's a bit outclassed by several others, and slash dash did NOT fare well in the conversion to d2.0.(I don't think radial javelin was ever very good to begin with). So, it's a cool change of pace to drag out excal for playing with the special skin, but he's purposely the most-average frame there is. Things might get interesting again once we hit u13, but until then, he's just going to be iconic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeloAngelicus Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Since I started playing, I choose Excalibur he was my first warframe .. well I was hoping some type of skin as "origins" because the connections between Darksector and Warframe : D I hope that next year will give us something like this ...
