VoidGhost Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Does Excalibur look as the game's protagonist ? Should something change? This thread is about the role of Excalibur Warframe and how Digital Extremes should respond to that.You can offer yor opinion answering the question above or adding more content proposals with answering the questions below as well Should he look stronger?(I remind you the comparison between Dark Sector and Warframe it is obvious that the Proto Armor as well as the Excalibur Warframe have smaller shoulders and look weaker) Should he "regain" his organic weapons(refering to the proto Armor)? The organic Glave as well as the weapon maker ability is more than a must element to the game Would it be good to wait for the redisign of his gun and sword holsters ? Notice : Evolution of the Warframes is not yet introduced in the game through mutation despite the fact it is mentioned in many ways not only from the game producers but from players expectations as well.The constantly evolving power/virus in Hayden Tenno was a point of interest that should acompany the future of the game The following are related to the Excalibur game protagonists or same game importance Armors(Excalibur is an Armor at this point of game creation) HALO Game Series - MASTER CHIEF Character http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Halo_4_box_artwork.png New Getter Robo Anime Series - Ryoma Nagare / GETTER DRAGON Robot http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Getter_Robo Guyver the Bioboosted Armor Anime Series - Sho Fukamachi / Guyver Armor http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guyver:_The_Bioboosted_Armor Project Arms Anime Series - Ry Takatsuki / JabberWock bio Armor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GraalOhOtonami Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Does this have anything to do with anything? Excal is Excal, there's no reason to change him right now because he looks awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valiant Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 (edited) We're all protagonists. He's just the posterboy who is literally used and abused. Edited April 1, 2014 by Naith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IANOBW Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 I like to think there is no protagonist on warframe. Immersion, ya know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

izzatuw Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 izzatuw that video "moved" me to write post this thread Well if you wanted to completely change him people should be given a skin. He kinda seems to have some fat or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babalenong Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 excal is best frame so hes the protag of the game or just an *icon*, since he's the frame that bears the closest resemblance of hayden tenno, even got its own skin while still looking simple, deadly, with fashionable horn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VoidGhost Posted April 1, 2014 Author Share Posted April 1, 2014 izzatuw Excalibur requirs the following Bigger shoulders thats all in order to look like Dark Sector version.I think it is a bit weird that many dont compare the suits with human body's states of power.

LazyTheGypsy Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Excalibur is nothing but a poster boy. Until there's an actual story in the game, we can't really say anyones a protagonist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revenant102 Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Even if there was a story it would necessarily be playable with any frame, just like how you can play any class in a game like Diablo 3 to complete the game without it being impossible.

VoidGhost Posted April 1, 2014 Author Share Posted April 1, 2014 Revenant102 indeed that is why we need armor parts to equalize the gap between Rhino and other Warframes.Please check the polls he is first.This is one more reason I have created this thread to hlp in repolishing Excalibur not to just a better skin but to greater levels of visual and status changes.

Revenant102 Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Owning every frame except for Rhino Prime and Excal Prime at this point I don't honestly see a need to extensively rework Excalibur's aesthetics. He's plain, yes, but that's in part because he's the original. Adding the native Glaive would make other melee weapons superfluous for him and for a 'blade master' frame that would arguably be a step in the wrong direction. He would benefit from some power rebalancing, but a redesign would not be appropriate in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VoidGhost Posted April 1, 2014 Author Share Posted April 1, 2014 (edited) Revenant102 I respect your opinion yet,redifining the Ecalibur frame to a more organic and realistic version will offer the following : 1.The strugle and training that made him capable of wearing tthe Warframe should be depicted with more muscles 2.The ability of the Warframe to mutate and evolve,an ability which every Warframe should have when implemented not only should it be capable of creating bioweaponry and related armaments but unite as one with other weapons not created by it using host abilities/infecting them. 3.The time that a Warframe will create a gigantic bio-armor by infecting a ship is not far please observe the ship before entering a derelict mission 4.Last but not least please check the polls about which Warframe we like the most you will see a great percentage supporting Rhino,it is time for a natural alteration for Excalibur Edited April 1, 2014 by VoidGhost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flamed Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 I see Excalibur as the "poster boy" for this game. Kinda like how Zhao Yun is the "poster boy" for Dynasty Warriors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S0ulre4per Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 (edited) As i understand you are saying he is nothing more than a poster boy. But lets be real he is not useless, and you still like the guy. Yes they need to show other warframes in action but lets face it, dont you think that he is kinda the Leader of Team Tenno? No im not an excal fanboy, its just my oppinion. Edited April 1, 2014 by S0ulre4per Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VoidGhost Posted April 1, 2014 Author Share Posted April 1, 2014 (edited) Flamed hmm isn't it time for us to consider what will occur after a certain playing fatique starts aproaching the players using this gameplay "map"/content(the same enemies,the same armament types as well as the same progression methods)? According to my opinion the evolution factor of the Warframe should become active by Digital Extremes letting us tamper with mutation blueprints and Warframe anatomical possibilities.

Enmity666 Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 (edited) He doesn't need any buffs. I'm an Excalibur player, and i actually think he's overpowered. His Radial Blind has pretty much the most range and efficiency out all CC powers, and he gets decent mobility with the Slash dash, which can help him get out of bad situations. He's also immune to knockdown when casting his powers. That's cute, no? By the way, unlike the rest of amateur Warframe scrubs, which have shown us their incredibly inefficient "cool moves", Excalibur cut the air in a seemingly realistic and "pro" way. I approve. Excal for the Emperor 2014 pls Edited April 1, 2014 by Harbinger777 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VoidGhost Posted April 1, 2014 Author Share Posted April 1, 2014 (edited) S0ulre4per if and only if we conect the lore offered by the aditional skin/Proto Armor,Excalibur is much more than a poster boy yet that will remain secret until the Origin Lore apears. Harbinger777 I think his figure does not match his abilities,he should have more muscles(refering to shoulders.I do compare him with Hayden's figure in Dark Sektor game http://static.comicvine.com/uploads/original/8/85231/1694958-dishera.jpg) and based on the ways of fighting he knows as well as how a body of a male Ninja Warior/War Veteran/Shouldier should be,he should convince in a visual way that he is more than a normal man wearing a bio-armor/exoskeleton suit. Notice:To convince many players in a visual manner proof of power has to given,based on our everyday lifes a physically powerfull person corresponds realistically to a person with a stronger looking body as well as to how a person will believe with a glance that someone is strong Edited April 1, 2014 by VoidGhost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S0ulre4per Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 wouldnt it be awesome if ''OUR'' excalibur was Hayden Tenno (survived for centuries and evolved with time) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord.Finster Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 All Excalibur needs is a little texture work. Otherwise he is perfect. Athletic, simple and straight design. However, I'd really appreciate it if he looked more different from Nyx or rather if Nyx looked more different from him. The helmets are sufficiently different (especially the alternate ones) but they practically share their body design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
