A Warframe Concept: The Dragon [2.0] — Final Update 2/09/2015

[Zeromanicus 931]

I'm sorry to say you have the sad honor of creating a better looking Warframe than DE did.

Honestly, the design shown here is just as bad in terms of aesthetics. Looks way too generic and plain with an obvious theme it tried to deviate from and expand on, something you never see on the actual frames, so I don't know what you were actually expecting. Something resembling this one would have brought as much disappointment in the long run, if not more.

come on, come at me with your hate.

I'm calling it now. TOTALLY a troll by DE did you see the way they talked about it and how they didnt react or even mention the instant hate it got?

TOTALLY A TROLL what they release is gonna be different! calling it now.

Nah, way to polished to be a Troll.

Also the first where the face clearly is beyond human shape. There is no reason for it to be shaped like that if a human face behind it., IMO.

I don't know... It just reeks of it. Or maybe on just in denial because that troll design IS JUST SOOOOOOOOOO BAD!!

Honestly I hope you're right, but I'm to much of a pessimist

[Senketsu_ 7,192]

It is still ugly as heck. He also does not fit into the Warframe feel, unless people actually want to play as an infested ancient. In fact, with his name 'Chroma', which is really bad for a supposedly 'dragon' frame (dragons are supposed to be badass), this does not feel like a dragon at all.

I think DE needs to rethink their design. The concept here hyped me up for a really badass frame, but instead we got a pile of bile.

Actually the name is based off the Chromatic Dragons from D&D, in which the color of the Dragon meant the Element its breath attack would be: A Red Dragon is Fire, A Blue is Lightning, A White is Ice, A Green is Poison, A Black is Acid, ect, ect, ect. SO out of everything about this frame, the name is the only thing that resembles a Dragon.

What does the human face have to do with a frame's design?

What the hell are you on about?

Just saying as a helmet it doesn't make much sense

[CaptainBAMF 70]

The dragons frames colors and bulky-ness are ok, it might even suit the playablility.

 

The face however seems like something only lotus herself could love. <3

 

After much searching, i found what this face reminded me of.

 

Childhood Nightmares.

The fire breathing animation is from booben? I kind of pity your level of denial

no because they made a new one to troll us hahahaha. well they got us! so wheres the real one? and does it look like endrians or does it suck again?

Fun fact: Even if it is a "troll", it'd never look like what Endrian put up. 

DE makes the designs of the frames however they wish, hell, Zephyr looks almost nothing like how his original fan-concept design looked like

I know but I figured they wouldve learned by now! zephyr looked okay to good but had no magic like the player concept and just wasnt as cool or good. Messa was just okay but better looking with the alternate helmet. Chrome is just a turd with an anteaters head that got infested. You know I was actually coming around to accepting it untill I relaized THE FREAKING THING HAS KISSY LIPS AT THE END OF ITS ANTEATER SNOUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Rexlars 3,238]

I already knew they weren't going to use this design for Dragon frame. I knew it as if it was fact. lol 

 

That said, while Chroma isn't as cool as I thought he'd be, he still looks okay imo. He definitely fits the art style. He looks a lot less human than the others though. Hopefully the alt helm looks reeeeaaally good. lol

Sigh, RIP Dragon.

Everyone welcome to Warframe the Twizzler Seahorse.

[Kracken 2,821]

I'm feeling like DE took not Endrian Dragon-frame concept as a example but Disney Wushu...

and they did practically the same to zephyr...

Amusingly, the Japanese term for seahorse actually translates out to "baby dragon"...

[HuangZilong 52]

Ah well, was hoping the dragon would make me more interested in playing the game again. Too bad about the wasted opportunity. Would have played the S#&amp;&#036; out of this concept if it had actually made it into the game. Time for another break I guess.

[HammerofDusk 202]

It... Looks like an ant eater.. But hek, if the powers are still there, then there's a reason for me to farm hard for something!

[pavlo555 694]

You really wanted more rhino-like frames ? And powers won't be there as those are riiculously OP.
