11.11.11 Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 (edited) Name: "Io" Description: This ancient Orokin power coupling is often found amoungst the remains of the First One's giant fusion reactors. Useless in it's raw form, this version has been re-tooled with morphics alloy, and now functions as a lethal alternative to the GLAIVE, replacing blades with burning plasma. Optional Stats: 10% longer flight time -5% longer charge time Cost: 75 Platinum or ? Alerts for blueprint. Additional Features: Awesome plasma sound effects! More Info: Before the glaive was released, I had a thread where I basically suggested that a copy of the Tron identity disk should be added to the game as a throw-able weapon. That thread didn't get a lot of comments, but someone did post one that said something like "Dark sector's glaive is coming." Well now it's here, I've gotten myself one, and I must say - it's not too shabby. Actually a lot more fun than I would have a thought. So - now my old Tron-rip-off concept looked a bit pointless. Until I realized: -So far DE has only released skins for melee weapons. -The glaive is a melee weapon -Profit. And so I set about working on this concept. This time around I decided to go for a more original aesthetic, something that looked like it belonged in Warframe rather than Tron. The result was the "Io". It's clearly Tron inspired, but not overbearingly so. Hopefully DE sees fit to incoperate this, or some sort of appropriation of it soon enough! For those of you who havn't had the joy of watching Tron legacy - here's what I'm referring to: 11 over and out! :D My other Warframe Weapon concept -> https://forums.warframe.com/index.php?/topic/29968-weapon-concept-oorkin-particle-rifle/#entry269910 Signature: Edited May 7, 2013 by 11.11.11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neKroMancer Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 I think it should be a second Glaive. Perhaps, different flight path would be better than stat change. What if this one deal less damage but once thrown, it files around you in 360 degree and damage everything caught in the path. Could be extremely tricky to use but emphasize the fact that it's melee weapon more than range (require player to be surrounded to be effective).

Could be extremely tricky to use but emphasize the fact that it's melee weapon more than range (require player to be surrounded to be effective). The stats are described as "optional" for a reason. Personally I'd rather not have the stats of the weapon changed by a cosmetic skin, but DE has done that with other skins, so I'm just providing some suggestions on that basis. I like your idea of a 360 flight path though. I was going to suggest perhaps increasing the number of rebounds the Io would do before returning to you.

Hezekiah Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 I like it, very well proposed. Now does it expand and contract ins size like the current glaive? Would you still be able to mount it to your forearm? How would the tenno hold it? I like the idea though, very nice art, skillfully rendered.

Yes, being made of morphics - the outer shell splits open and closed, to save on animation assets - it functions identically to the current glaive. I am planning to do a little diagram to explain the opening sequence when I get the chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corpseshock Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 I want a pink frisbee with a banana on it. Not. What about a giant shuriken ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Depar Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 (edited) What about a giant shuriken ? I hope so O.o in this form it would also fit where the glaive is stored when not used Edited May 3, 2013 by Depar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GratuitousLurking Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 My question is how would the Io fold up ',' The glaive goes onto yer arm, but there seems to be no closing points on the concept art... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sentiata Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 I do not like this filth on my Glaive. Do not ruin the only true throwback to Dark Sector with "Tron" and your children's show. I'll tip my hat and you can tip your fedora. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pisirk Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Looks like a chakram, cool design tho. Exactly my thought. Glaives are basically shurikens the size of chakrams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
