IAmTheWar Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 (edited) I'll be blunt, personally I'm kind of on the fence with the name Limbo. Yes, one definition of limbo is a type of purgatory, but in this context of space ninjas with guns and swords and magic it seems kind of...static. Also it can't be helped if it reminds me of the game where you have bend your back just to get under the line. Just my two cents, I think a more suitable name for him would be something like..Rift(no pun intended) or...Phase, considering how Scott and Steve described his abilities. How he was able to put things into another dimension or plane or something to that effect. Also, is it just me or does this guy sound like Uchiha Madara/Obito?

bejuizb Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 I think it suits his description just fine. He puts you into a limbo after all, and by you, I mean the poor sods that have to face the gentlemanframe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soup2504 Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 you'll take this back once you find out that he has a custom animation that allows him to "limbo" under lasers in the void Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imaru Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 People hated Hydroid's name before he came out. I think that is why they waited so long to tell us his official name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Letter13 Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Let's wait until we see his abilities. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoXHeart Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 As far as I'm concerned, if it sounds better then Hydroid, it gets a pass. And it does, so...yeah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ensignvidiot Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 I still hate Hydroid, but i rather like the name of the new DapperFrame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senketsu_ Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 We do have a Frame named after a jellyfish, and a frame named after a fairy. and a legendary sword, and an animal, and a french dude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Somedude1000 Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 I'm more bothered at the fact that they just randomly went with the first name they thought of from the stream.... Also, hydroid, i mean, wut,? I'm still not sure what a hydroid is supposed to be.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Call me a negative nancy but it's still a bit tough to get used to that one. Let's wait until we see his abilities. :) Alright, I'll take up your offer!

IAmTheWar Posted October 23, 2014 Author Share Posted October 23, 2014 (edited) We do have a Frame named after a jellyfish, and a frame named after a fairy. and a legendary sword, and an animal, and a french dude. With those names though, to me anyways, I think fits the frame in question and how they work from gameplay mechanics. Like..with Vauban for example you don't really know what he can do and it incites curiosity and makes you want to learn more about it. I think what I'm trying to say is, with a lot of the older names they came from other lore or a name that kind of meshes well with the particular warframe. Limbo..it's a bit less subtle the way I see it. Maybe I can be proven wrong when he comes out, only time will tell.

Which is actually incredibly fit for the frame. Limbo often refers to an alternate dimension; purgatory. Limbo the Warframe has powers over an alternate dimension or the ability to interact with one. Also fitting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farren Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Am I not getting something here? You aren't getting breaking down the name into the components. Greek components. Hydro, which is water. Oid, which means "Like or resembling". Put two together and you get "Like or resembling water". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Somedude1000 Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 -snip- Very well, but arguably a common fool like me wouldn't be ablke toi make sense of something that requires knowledge of a foreign language, I was simply trying to say that I wasn't aware his name had any meaning, and a simple search I had done before only led me to this, in response to RahuStalkers claim that I should have done so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
