AlmonteV Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Hello all. Do you plan to change the appearance of the Excalibur Prime? He appeared very long ago, and other primes much better look it.

AM-Bunny Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 To be fair, Frost and Mag Prime are equally deserving of an overhaul, which is something that wouldn't open the "exclusivity" wound. That being said, it has been officially stated that their are no plans currently to re-visit their designs. Excal Prime is staying the way he is, for better or worst >.< n hi :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)IIIDevoidIII Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 I'm pretty sure DE said that no frames are getting a re-model at any point. (then again adding cloth phyics would require remodels so I don't know.) Moved to a more appropriate section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snydrex Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Welcome to the forums! I personally like ExPrime's simplistic design compared to some of the gaudier new primes. I'd like to keep it that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some frames, cloth physics would require them to be remodeled (at least the cloth bits), and would take quite a bit of time which is why some more advanced cloth physics have not been implemented yet. As for Excal Prime getting a remodel? No thanks. Please don't make him fancier or give him more attention because that will make all of the "gibe founders pls" folk pour forth from the cracks.

nickelshark Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Yeah I like the simplicity of Excal Prime personally. Nice and simple. Sometimes less is more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vargras Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 As someone who has been playing a lot of Excal Prime lately, I actually really like how he looks. It's simple and clean, and not overly elegant or anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhoenixTheMeh Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 They can create as many styles as they like and call them skins without having to redesign the original. However with so many frames I can't imagine that would even be considered for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Llyssa Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 I can't imagine them ever bothering. There are a finite number of founders, and a smaller-yet group of those that still plays, and an even-smaller-yet group of those who play and have access to him. Some quick numbers, we have ~10 million players, and under 10,000 players this applies to. So that makes us like 10% of 1%. So, it's requesting a massive overhaul(which we may not even like) that only applies to a tiny fraction of a fraction of the playerbase. As someone's maybe "fun after work project", it might be a thing, way down the road, but I can't see it happening any time soon--and realistically, we'd have to wait for it to happen twice--the first one would make more sense as an "altered prime" or some such monicker, available to the masses.

As for Excal Prime getting a remodel? No thanks. Please don't make him fancier or give him more attention because that will make all of the "gibe founders pls" folk pour forth from the cracks. Who cares? Sure, you mods might have more work, but start punishing people for complaining about anything and everything founders, because the complaining is childish at this point. People complaining shouldn't be a reason to not adjust something. For Excalibur Prime, all he needs is something for his waist/hips, and something more on his chest/abdomen, like Nyx Prime. Frost Prime needs a better pattern. It's too plain on the torso. Mag Prime looks fine to me honestly, but all three need patterns tweaked to match the pattern style of the other primes (the style of the stripes essentially). Neither would need a remodel. Just the modeling of a few extra, small parts for excalibur prime (at least a bit more gold, but not overdoing it) and tweaking the pattern for all of them. Frost Prime would require the addition of some pattern on his torso, but that's pretty much it. Frost and Frost Prime could use some work, imo, as the frame quite frankly looks like it was lazily modeled (specifically thinking about the thin, folding-when-bending arms and legs which look cheap and unprofessional). The most work would go to Frost Prime, who needs more of a pattern, and it'd be small tweaks to Excalibur Prime and Mag Prime. Nothing drastic. Nothing major.

DarthBane1 Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 put pendragon on his head instead with a grey and black body. He looks badass. (with the new armor of course) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UltimateSpinDash Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 I kinda agree (not a founder, but still). However, I think there is a lore explanation behind this. Excalibur (Prime) was the first Warframe, the Orokin were losing the war against the sentients, so no time for bling. Later, when the tide was turned by the Tenno, later Warframes received more bling to honor them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir_Alex_Traffo Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 While it's clear that Excalibur Prime is too close to it's normal counterpart looking at how new Prime frames look like, I think I'd prefer it to remain like this. Excalibur Prime is a symbol, an institution, to me it shouldn't get touched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
