Cibi_Lumine Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Lets be honest, Nyx got shafted. She got stuck with the Fem Excalibur model, a fate worse than death some would wager. She lacks the individuality of the other frames, save for her weird horn thingy. She looks like an Tenno reject, who just kind of modified a Excalibur frame to do psychic stuff. I'm not even sure what a Psychic frame should look like, but I know it should not be Excalibur. This is my favorite frame to play, but only because she is a CC Goddess. A topic for another time as well, if DE ever gets around to looking at Nyx again, is her abilities. They need a rework in some areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7grims Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 I feel only her abilities need rework. Specially chaos, since its the only ability ingame that cause damage and doesn't give back affinity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnProdman Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 (edited) Well this thread is extremely negative. Yes, Nyx was created when Digital Extremes was originally toying with the idea of a male and female variant of each frame. Nyx was indeed the female Excalibur. Leave my Nyx the hell alone. I feel only her abilities need rework. Specially chaos, since its the only ability ingame that cause damage and doesn't give back affinity. Psychic Bolts could use a touch-up, Mind Control could use some friendly fire control from teammates (but not contribute to wave completion.)

Nyx is fine the way she looks, I actually like how she looks regardless if she used to be female Excalibur. Her abilities need some touching up. Mindcontrol is ok but doesnt give you Affinity for the enemies that ur unit controls. Chaos is the same way. Psychic Bolt is useless in every aspect. Absorb is the motherload of Nukes and I love it.

se05239 Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 I'd love if DE gave that warframe some love. There is nothing unique in her appearance besides the helmets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnProdman Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 She absolutely does not need a graphical rework. Higher resolution textures and a little bit of detail perhaps, but leave the basic design ALONE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psychic Bolts could use a touch-up, Mind Control could use some friendly fire control from teammates (but not contribute to wave completion.) I wasn't trying to be all that negative, I love the frame too. She is the only frame that does not have her own feel, like the others. The Warframes are as much art as they are killing machines, and each should reflect that. Nyx was copy paste, add weird horn thingy. I'd love if DE gave that warframe some love. There is nothing unique in her appearance besides the helmets. Well they do have a insect theme going on with her helmets at least. Maybe a carapacian look.

Psychic Bolts could use a touch-up, Mind Control could use some friendly fire control from teammates (but not contribute to wave completion.) THIS. Leave her alone. Rework her Useless bolts, I'd be more than happy if DE did^^. Mind control needs something that prevents allies to kill what you MC^^'. Maybe make the unit controlled only "register" the damage allies inflicted to it when the ability reaches its end. Again, I'd be more than happy if Chaos gave affinity^^. Well they do have a insect theme going on with her helmets at least. Maybe a carapacian look. Are. You. Serious? An INSECT Nyx? I'm very sorry but... "GT*O!" I don't want my Nyx to look like an insect! She reminds me of Nemesis from Dark Sector, and I love it. A Nemesis proto-skin would be awesome, and could help people that don't like her design; I can understand that some people want her redesigned, but an INSECT... Everything BUT that please^^'. I understand the "Queen Bee" concept inspired that remark, but don't do this, my little heart couldn't take it. No "carapacian" Nyx pretty please^^'.

Like I said I do not know what she should actually look like, just tossing ideas. The references are there though, Vespa being the name of the genus of True Hornets, and Menticide being pretty obvious. I'm not afraid of insects tehehehe. I don't think DE should just leave her alone, what are they going to do when they get around to Priming her? Will they just make a female Excal Prime as well?

Cibi_Lumine Posted March 31, 2014 Author Share Posted March 31, 2014 I doubt that DE would just scrap her original look anyways, either make it a skin, or the new look a skin itself. They need to branch out from simple retextures like the immortal skins and do more Proto-skins style stuff, just please without the exclusivity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forget the early design "female Excalibur", for me she looks like Nemesis, not Exclibur (Hey maybe it's actually Excalibur that looks like her^^), and the "leave her alone" refers to the "carapacian/insect Nyx" actually, sorry, I should have made it clearer^^. As for the helmet references, I think they refer more to the "Mind Control" ability of the insect (Queen Bee controlling her nest, all that) than the insect itself. I have nothing against insects (as long as they don't come crawling all over me) but I really don't want her to look like one^^'.

But Nyx is excal, and when she is primed it will be basically like priming female excal, because she is literally excal right now. Er nevermind. I never played Dark Sector, and her model originally belonged to fem excal. I sound like a broken record. I just want Nyx to have that unique feel like Oberon, and Zephyr. Obi looks like a druidistic paladin, and Zephyr has some bird symbolism going on. Nyx is just well, FEM EXCAL. Nothing alludes towards her control over the weak minded, or that she is a psychic monstrosity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DalaiLlama Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Agreed with the dissenters in this thread, keep away from my Nyx. I'm proud of the color choices I have on that thing, generates a very "clean" feel. If anything, the abilities deserve a look at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGear Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 The only thing I feel Nyx needs work on is for her Psychic Bolts, which are quite useless mildly speaking. Otherwise, I actually like that Nyx is more or less just a female Excalibur. Sometimes, more is not more, and Nyx still looks nice despite of, or maybe because of her simplicity.

HolidayPi3 Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Thematically, she doesn't look like a Psychic frame at all. But I think she is very visually pleasing. I like the fact that she's much more sleek and simple as other frames. I dislike how some frames (Zephyr) have an extremely busy look which only gets more busy as syandanas, danglies, and other aesthetics are added. They look great on Nyx, however, as she looks like she has room for all those extra cosmetics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thaumatos Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Mynki said he would not redo any of the designs. Was that before or after they tied him to the chair and told him that they wouldn't let him go home until Excalibur got his Proto Armor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V0LK Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 (edited) A thousand time no. Nyx is the only good looking female warframe right now. Edited April 2, 2014 by V0LK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
