duenor Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 As in, "jump the shark". I felt drawn in by the idea of space ninjas fighting a desperate battle against overwhelming odds. I was thrilled by Lotus playing Oracle to my Dark Knight, an interplanetary warrior of ancient power and eldritch weaponry. Each warframe felt plausible within this diaspora. However, Limbo disrupts this. A magician, with a hat that he can doff? Are we now taking pages out of DC's missteps? Will we next see a warframe whose theme is rainbows and music notes? I am delighted by the idea of the void, shadow walking, etc. But the idea of a hat-and-bunny magician is just as disruptive here in Warframe as it is in the world of Metropolis. But, perhaps I am just too old for this game. It may be that I have just outgrown delight at seeing everything I consider cool all in one place.

JohnProdman Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 I agree, but expect to get jumped out any second by the ranting community. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueQuail Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 You pick Limbo instead of a puddle and a bird? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
izzatuw Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Mirage literally has confetti in her abilities, wonder why she's just bypassing all this but Limbo who can take off his hat gets judged and stuff, I personally don't mind the theme because DE never had some strict theme to follow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burq Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 I'm ok with his skill set but his design is way too silly. That said, we also have 2 clowns, a bird chick, a puddle pirate octopus, a crazy half-flayed berzerker and a porcelain candle antimatter doll. The only 2 frames I can consider Ninja-eske are Ash and Loki. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheArchAngel Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Rainbows : - Mirage in the form of disco confetti lightsMusic Notes : - Banshee to a degree, lol~Hydroid turns into a puddle and Zephyr's a birdframe... I think a void magician is not that far off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darkkterror Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 They haven't jumped the shark until they add a land shark gun. I'm still waiting for that. Will buy with plat ASAP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

123Olympian Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 I agree that this was really funky, but personally I felt by his introduction that set me off by the hat tipping. Music would actually be fine for me, just not a fedora tipping... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this is the metaphorical "shark", then we jumped it long before Limbo came around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mak_Gohae Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 They are riding the Orokin Whale out the solar system with this one. The best part is Steve recently saying that they have not run out of ideas for frames right before dropping Mr. Peanut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AbaliskInfinite Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 I'm gonna go out on a limb and say Tenno probably weren't the most sane sentients in existence. Hell, I'd get pretty damn silly too if I could kill hundreds with a punch to the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikitclaw Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 you want grim dark? how about the creator of the limbo frame, miscalculating his rift walking and being ripped apart between two planes of existence, then you finding those frame parts and using then to create your limbo frame.

ShadowCore67 Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 DE really pushed the line with his design. Im ok with it and I honestly kinda of like it and his abilities. But if they push the line any further, I will be upset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaugahn Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Hell, I'd get pretty damn silly too if I could kill hundreds with a punch to the ground. And let's not forget that as children they were exposed to the horrors of the void, abandoned by their entire society, and then forced to fight for the same people who had turned them into monsters. Who they then killed. Not exactly the kind of upbringing that leads to a stable psyche. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GildedTuna Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Judging by the Orokin interior design, I do not think they were above a Magician Frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seraphyx Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 The last few frames have been a bit goofy. Limbo probably being the most imo. Personally I'm not a fan of the design, mostly the top hat bit. It feels like the devs have gotten very comfortable with the success of warframe and are now just trying to do whatever they think is fun or funny. Which is completely fine they should enjoy what they're doing but I also hope it doesn't continue to go in this direction. Throwing in one "lol" frame for funsies every 10 or so frames is fine with me. You can't be serious 100% of the time. I think they definitely could have made a completely badass frame with the "void" theme but they decided to go for something funny. They can't please everyone I guess.

Hypernaut1 Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 I just dont like that hes wearing a tuxedo. I find it hard to to take him seriously as a warrior when hes wearing a tux. All of the other designs, even though they arent ninjas, look like something someone would fight in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morec0 Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 (edited) You have Tenno that are designed to be a little more stealthy and silent, slip behind enemy lines and do damage. And you have Tenno that are designed to be on the front-lines, soldiers in the battle against the oncoming force. And each has a different look to their otherwise-similarly-functional equipment. No different from real life. Mirage, Limbo, these more "crazy" designed Warframes are the latter. They weren't made for stealth in mind, but for raw damage and utility in the front lines of conflict against their enemies - this, of course, being during the Old War when the fight against the Sentients required such battles.
