Kaotyke Posted June 16, 2014 Posted June 16, 2014 So, I can say that Loki Prime is..... just so much more awesome than the normal Loki. The previous primes are mostly a reskin of the normal ones with a new helmet and not much else. Frost Prime has a helmet/skin change and its done. Mag Prime has the helmet/skin change and adds a few floaty bits on the legs and shoulders. Ember Prime has a helmet/skin change (although a sick looking helmet) and the leg armor is a nice change. Rhino Prime got the helmet change and then some other things were added to the Prime counterpart, not too many, but its something noteworthy and the wind-up key on the back. Loki has a lot more detail aside from the helmet and re-skin, and they are more notaciable then any of the previous primes. If that is the way DE is going in reguards of prime, I cant wait for Nyx and Trinity. But I do have to wonder if Mink will think of reworking the looks of the previous primes before Rhino (he is fine) What do you guys think? the previous primes need a rework? Yes? No? Why? didnt include Excal prime since that would mean puting straw for someone to throw a cigar on it by "accident"
ValhaHazred Posted June 16, 2014 Posted June 16, 2014 Nah, they're fine. Only Frost is kinda boring looking but I don't think it's an issue.
Kinperor Posted June 16, 2014 Posted June 16, 2014 Based on DE's visual rework history, my guess is something between "somewhat improbable" and "unlikely to be in our lifetime".
OniDax Posted June 16, 2014 Posted June 16, 2014 (edited) idk how many times this topic has to pop up for DE to take notice, but I hope they do. I especially want Excalibur Prime and Frost Prime to get a "rework". Understand that they don't need reworks. They both need some body attachments like the other Primes, and Frost needs some more pattern on his torso in addition to the attachments. If we can get that for both, then they'll be on par with Loki Prime. Excalibur Prime could use some attachments on his shoulders and maybe torso. Frost Prime could use something on his arms and torso. Also tired of all these "didn't include Excalibur Prime because it'll anger the whiners" crap. I take it you had a problem when they removed the lazy white lines from Excalibur Prime, right? Edited June 16, 2014 by AntoineFlemming
Fungi Posted June 16, 2014 Posted June 16, 2014 What if... there would be such a thing as Season 2 Prime helms? In case some like the original helms, but more options to those who want something different? Iunno. :P
SJunior Posted June 16, 2014 Posted June 16, 2014 If anything, Frost Prime needs atleast some channeling rework. Have you tried channeling with him? Nothing glows. Literally nothing. As if they completely forgot about him.
Airwolfen Posted June 16, 2014 Posted June 16, 2014 If anything, Frost Prime needs atleast some channeling rework. Have you tried channeling with him? Nothing glows. Literally nothing. As if they completely forgot about him. That was fixed a long time ago actually. the entire back design glows now. (and it looks awesome) Here ya go:
SJunior Posted June 16, 2014 Posted June 16, 2014 That was fixed a long time ago actually. the entire back design glows now. (and it looks awesome)-Snip- HOLY MOTHER OF RNGJESUS. That looks amazing! Thanks for informing me. I haven't used my Frost prime in so long because of that reason. It does indeed look awesome.
TheImmortalHotDog Posted June 16, 2014 Posted June 16, 2014 HOLY MOTHER OF RNGJESUS. That looks amazing! Thanks for informing me. I haven't used my Frost prime in so long because of that reason. It does indeed look awesome. Using channeling with the Frost Immortal skin hurts. I prefer the Imo. skin over default. When you channel, its like the phased booben glitch
Rhekinos Posted June 16, 2014 Posted June 16, 2014 Frost prime looks really dull compared to other primes. I hope he gets a better rework. Some primes are not compatible with their immortal skins e.g. Mag primes gold bars are gone and Frost prime looks less golden. Put on the squall/aurora helmet and poof its a normal frost now. Theres a bit of an issue with immortal skin melee channels as well...
Airwolfen Posted June 16, 2014 Posted June 16, 2014 HOLY MOTHER OF RNGJESUS. That looks amazing! Thanks for informing me. I haven't used my Frost prime in so long because of that reason. It does indeed look awesome. No problem^^ was also glad when they fixed it. it was never listed in the patchnotes though. probably why a lot of people missed it
killacam8806 Posted June 16, 2014 Posted June 16, 2014 I think they have found their grove for designing primes,Frost and Excal dont show that and could use some love for sure..
Grascen Posted June 16, 2014 Posted June 16, 2014 Frost Prime definitely needs work done. Excal Prime could maybe use a little more gold inlaid into his suit. Other than that, they're fine.
OniDax Posted June 16, 2014 Posted June 16, 2014 Both need additional attachments to their bodies. Because that's the defining difference between Excal Prime/Frost Prime and the other Primes. Frost Prime also needs a pattern added to his torso because it's literally a solid color at this point. Once these things are done, they will be on par with the other frames. Anything that does not include these two adjustments (body attachments for BOTH Excal Prime and Frost Prime, and more pattern on Frost Prime's torso) is not enough. Anything more than this is a bonus. It's not a redesign. And it's not something that'd have to be as bulky and large as Loki's parts, or as small as Mag Prime's. It could be something between the two, but this would make the Primes be on the same page.
TheAscendedOne Posted June 16, 2014 Posted June 16, 2014 Frost Prime definitely needs work. Regular Frost is more detailed (especially in the front). Also, channeling on Frost Prime with the Immortal skin looks absolutely dreadful.
Joyfulmama Posted June 16, 2014 Posted June 16, 2014 Honestly, I feel Frost Prime's helmet is fine. Only his other body parts need rework. Maybe some special default shoulder armor like Ember Prime.
Shehriazad Posted June 16, 2014 Posted June 16, 2014 Exca Prime is still off worse than the others...as soon as you exchange the helmet no one will be able to tell that you're a prime XD
Valiant Posted June 16, 2014 Posted June 16, 2014 Honestly, I feel Frost Prime's helmet is fine. Only his other body parts need rework. Maybe some special default shoulder armor like Ember Prime. Oh yeah I don't think people are disputing that his helmet is fine. It's just the rest of his body, as you've said. This topic has come up many times and I hope more continue to pop up and the eventually artists stop being so stiff. It's clearly a 'hot' topic.
OniDax Posted June 16, 2014 Posted June 16, 2014 Wait, why is there an issue with any of the helmets? They're fine. Perfect to me (yes, I'm one of the few that is fine with Mag Prime's helmet). Joyfulmama and Shehriazad, Both Excal Prime and Frost Prime need armor, or some kind of body attachments. That's really the only thing the other Primes have that Excalibur Prime and Frost Prime don't have. They are really just reskins with different helmets. I think Excalibur Prime's shoulders need something to separate him from Excalibur and to make his frame stand out, and Frost Prime needs something on his chest because it's just plain. Using the armor pieces could of course remove these parts, and so the body attachments could be like Mag Prime's in that they serve as a default armor piece.

Because they are the ONLY major things that change with the first Primes? the issue here is not the helmets, but the fact that the Primes before Rhino/Loki prime, they dont have much of a "Prime" feeling to them (body), the helmets are fine..... *Looks at Mag Prime's helmet* to an extend :| Edited June 16, 2014 by Kao-Snake

(PSN)Goldengeartwo Posted June 16, 2014 Posted June 16, 2014 Exca Prime is still off worse than the others...as soon as you exchange the helmet no one will be able to tell that you're a prime XD Frost prime is worse off than Exalibur prime. Excalibur prime has the golden spine and the different pattern compared to normal Excalibur. Frost prime on the other hand? Swap the helmet for something else and you will look identical to normal frost.

Frost prime on the other hand? Swap the helmet for something else and you will look identical to normal frost. He has gold on his shoulders and waist. He's just like Excalibur Prime in that he's nothing more than a reskin. They both have the same problem. And they both have different patterns than their originals.

ItPutsTheLotion Posted June 18, 2014 Posted June 18, 2014 I agree. I feel excal prime needs the reworking
