Insidiatorii Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Would Warframe players like to choose between female/male frames? It could be a small change in the frames art, such as removal of breasts, and probably a little more muscle (to make it more masculine?) So, would you want this?

Imaru Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 This thread again. No, DE has said that they will never add the option for say Ember to be male and Frost be female. They said that they may explore the idea of a male and female warframe sharing a theme, but they will not add the option to switch what a gender a warframe is.

vaugahn Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Already been said that this is not going to happen. Nyx was a failed attempt at making an alternate gender for Excalibur. They'd prefer to make new frames than gender swap existing ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cloudy13 Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 It's sort of already being done. It's not a stretch to consider that Mirage is a female version of Loki, they both share a theme of trickery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a stretch to consider that Mirage is a female version of Loki, they both share a theme of trickery. What trickery? I mean, yeah, that's what they set out to do with Mirage, but they ended up creating a DPS beast instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[DE]Momaw Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 a small change in the frames art No. It would be a major undertaking for very little benefit. It would be cool if it could just happen without cost, but there are so many better things that DE should do/wants to do/is doing instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeMeritus Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 This again? DE already said no. There has been talk of male and female warframes with the same theme and with different powers, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaylorsContraction Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 I don't care for this feature, but I am always confused by what a warframe is. Is a warframe an armor donned by something that changes gender based on which one is equipped? It's just we craft warframe parts and it's calleda "Frame". An external thing. My roomies like watching me play and the first thing they asked me was "What's a warframe?". I explained it is a combat suit with different abilities. But clearly it's not just a suit. Are we building an entire organism when we build a warframe? Does this mean I have an army of warframes now as I've bought plat to keep each one (with the exception of unprimed versions after I acquire the primes).

Sitchrea Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 How many times must people explain that this would take time away from.... *Inhales* Concept artists, modellers, animators, programers, designers, and then only be taking up money meant for more important things? Seriously, this idea has been said no to since closed Beta... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does this mean I have an army of warframes now as I've bought plat to keep each one (with the exception of unprimed versions after I acquire the primes). Nobody knows. It's a subject of much debate here on the forums. There are essentially two schools of thought: each warframe has its own tenno in it, or your tenno can hop from warframe to warframe. Both are equally likely. In my opinion, the first one is the correct one. I think that building and switching frames is a gameplay mechanic like respawning bosses, and that I'm controlling a different tenno depending on which frame I'm using. As for what the warframes physically are, they're combat suits made from Technocyte. At least, that's what the Protosuit was in Dark Sector, which is (probably) canon.

Brimir Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 For the 1000th time: If you are sitting on alternative gender models for all the Warframes, I am sure DE will happily take them off your hands. If you aren't, stop bringing the subject up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twistedsparkle Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Whoa why the mass rage?I think theres nothing wrong bringing this up no matter how many times DE would have dropped a tombstone on itI like the Idea of choosing my frames gender too maybe with a small change to male/female name counterpartsalso you could take this to the next level and give them different stats but yes yes I know thats a completely new hassle to tackle withnow even though DE has said they are not gonna give you the option to gender swapthis is still a frequently asked feature and I dont think theres nothing wrong with thatwho knows there just might be a time when DE has more resources and time to give this Idea a second look Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marelooke Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Whoa why the mass rage? I think theres nothing wrong bringing this up no matter how many times DE would have dropped a tombstone on it Yes there is, this gets brought up at least once per week. It gets seriously tedious after a while (and I've been hanging out here for nearly a year). This should just go into a FAQ (if it isn't already) and these threads should just get pruned by mods.

Agava Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 What I write, not all are probably like it, but this is my idea. Teno which the game is played are not the first generation, more like the last generation. Teno could possess ability that they are not trapped in a one shell (Frame), that can be compared to the transfer of the soul, or AI, where the look of Frame is determined by the creator or archetype.

Sifu Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 I dont think Rhino Female or Ember Male is a good idea. Can be set as skin option though. DE said many things, many things changed since then. I personally dont think we need it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eudamon Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 (edited) The only way I would endorse gender-swapping would be if you had a Janus warframe that allowed you to swap between warframes. One male with massively powerful build, to make Rhino like a weakling, with high armor, health and shields, but slow as a snail, and one female, fast, with improved stamina and enhanced wall-running abilities. Or the other way round. Otherwise, keep the genders as they are. It has been lored that the Tenno are the energy inside the warframes, so you can put your phobias at rest.
