Chroma, The New Dragon Frame (Teased In Devstream 45, 46, Tennolive) Anticipation Megathread

[(PSN)TheArrowOfGod]

Kill it with water.

[(PSN)Shadow_Prower]

That's fine, but again, the point is that he does not resemble or feel like a dragon, which is what the community wanted.

i'm done arguing about the looks (my opion is it look like a dragon) but we have no idea how it feels to play him or how his powers effect the theme.

 

and if i missunderstood what you meant by this post i'm sorry

Crap design.

[Invalid_Infinity]

No, Chroma does not look like a dragon.

 

It looks like an infested anteater/seahorse amalgamation.

[Hayzemet]

no people actually if OP is right you just need to look at it white and gold, and then the design will be awesome.

[TheErebus.]

OPINIOOOOOOOONS!

 

I think he looks fine, I'm happy they didn't go for the typical dragon look.

 

Afterall...Wasn't everyone complaining at how Limbo didn't look unique?

[sappinmahsentry]

IMO it looks like a fire breathing dragon man.

[PheatheR]

[GreyEnneract]

Hopefully the alt helm is good. Then I'll have no problem playing him when I want to tank. Just like with Mirage's alt helm.

[Cleesus]

He honestly looks like a weird combo of Zephyr with Ash's arms. I can see the asian dragon look in the helm. Zephyr has a twinsie, Tied for most polarizing looking frame

If you twist it just right, close one eye, then the other it kinda looks dragon like :p

 

But either way, it looks far more like some sort of infested type frame than any sort of popular depiction of a dragon (in general, eastern, western, more popular opinion of what a dragon looks like), or dragon-like frame.

Well if that's how you see it I'd suggest you stick to black and red Ash or whatever your perfect "edgy" frame is.

[Sziklamester]

Maybe next time the typhus when coming in it's rotation. Just wondering why not tried to use the fan concepts as design because many of them much more like a dragon than this anteater.

Rhino as in rhino beetle, not the african rhinoceros. The first generation of frames were insect based.

Please point out an insect that looks like mag or in any way relates to mag

Because I seriously wanna see that

It's only about the looks, not about gameplay. What people consider to be a dragon is defined by history, the classical dragons, either western or eastern. Smaug from LotR is a western dragon, while Shenron from DBZ is an eastern dragon. It needs to be a general design based on what we perceive as a dragon, not an original design that invents a new kind of dragon. And the reason why it "must" be that is because we wanted a dragon warframe - one that has the looks and feel of a classical dragon.

OPINIOOOOOOOONS!

Not that Limbo doesn't look unique, but that Limbo looks tacky/over the top. 

 

But the dragon frame is all that and just plain ugly.

Pics shown in this topic: https://forums.warframe.com/index.php?/topic/413226-for-those-who-missed-it-chroma-unveiled/

 

To me, the frame looks like an organic beast thing grown over some sort of armor, and kinda resembles a werewolf or jackal or seahorse and I'm loving it.

 

The base idea was "dragon" but that doesn't mean it has to be some generic anthropomorphic plate armor "dragon" that people were expecting.

 

Whoever design this frame, don't listen to all those people hating on the design, you've got a +1 from me.

[Pretzellis]

I apologise for that, i wasn't meant for it to be taken as an offense. I should have worded it a little differently. Like you im tired of seeing "fanboys" trying to find anything positive in whatever DE releases and then justifying it with some bizzare reasons and how "haters gonna hate/ignore the negatron primes".

 

I've never had such a dissapointment in DE before, that's all.

Sorry again if my response felt personal.

No worries. All of this has made for some really interesting discussion anyways :P. I'm excited to see how the reception for this frame will play out, because the abilities seem like they will be quite interesting and given the current model, I'm curious as to how DE thinks that they can handle its complete design, long, fire-breathing snout and all.

Most of my interest comes from my career aspirations (which lie in game development), so there could be some lessons to learn here.

[ViralN9]

Honestly, it's all a matter of perspective, the first pic(as well as the shot of him breathing fire) makes him look very Dragon-like and intimidating, while the name wallpaper... doesn't.

[ShadowCore67]

I agree with you completely OP.

 

He looks completely badass in the first pic, but looks like a total derp in the second one.

[Sunfax]

I should also point out that Chroma has 4 eyes and the back of his head looks like the fringe of a Xenomorph from Alien.

 

Loki's helmet looks like the horns of a Balrog from LotR and screams dragon much more. THAT would have been an acceptable head, even without a snout.

NOOOO YOUR GONNA DIE. LEAVE WHILE YOU CAN!!!

[TheErebus.]

I like it. 
It's unique and interesting. 

If it was like how everyone else wants it, it'd be boring and un-interesting. 

[(PSN)Shadow_Prower]

It feels like they are trying to cram too much in to one frame.

I don't know what insect mag is, but if you look at the helmets for all the first generation frames they all have this insectoid-ish design with mandibles.
