Tekkaman-Blade Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Several good reasons to pick the Frost 1. Ease of use. Th other starting frames? (Loki, Mag, Volt) have situations they are bad at and the Loki especially conforms to specialty play. 2. Power level. Frost is pretty well balanced and is welcome in any team comp. 3. Popularity. I see a lot of Frosts 4. Old Design concept. Another design that would have made sense is Rhino and I don't know why they didn't pick him considering how venerable Rhino is, but it's ok because Frost is still a good choice.

Bakim0n0 Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Ok, so you take popular frame, alot of people use and already maxed and... give us recoloured version with minor tweaks, that will also requre Reactor to intsall? Why not just make it frost SKIN? Or Prime will sport new Unique skills, that wont drop anywhere? You must have missed the chat in the DC where Steve said that the primes will react with Oriken(sp?) tech and cause special effects. He didn't say what those effects are, and was careful not to give anything away, but I'm guessing each prime will have special / unique properties or activate on different tilesets.

RainDreamer Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Because they randomly choose a frame and make it prime first? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BramBlackmon Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Because they had to start somewhere. every frame had an equal chance of being the one they selected, there was no bias on the part of the Dev team. Pure Random Happenstance. or the lead art Director plays a frost. The world will never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBadHunkyDaddy Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 (edited) Because Frost is cool. (also, because he's the most useful frame in defense missions, which are the most popular type of missions, would be my guess) Edited May 6, 2013 by Balerion84 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinderain Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Because Frost is cool. Yeah, because he's cool. Cool. Get it? Ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Painmak3r Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 It's a great frame, very versatile and shines vs corpus... Why not Frost? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asla Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 (edited) Personally i dislike the idea... I know i will get downvoted but who care's? I am not really complaining, i am really happy when a "free gift" come (frost prime here). I love cosmetic options. I am just wrong with the idea to make a prime version of all frames/weapons. I mean, i have spent 250 hours on the games crafting all frames and weapons, and grinding them to lvl 30. Doing it again just for a cosmetic option is kind of "meh". I would have prefer new fresh content or some different skills for the prime versions of frames. I also hope polarity slots of frost prime won't be as bas as excalibur prime are...

Phoenix86 Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 (edited) I bet whatever frame was choosen a topic like this would have been created. Frost its the first because... dont mind about it, i bet all Frames will have their Prime version, it's just a matter of time Someone will like it, someone will like it less because every single one of us has its own preferences! So be happy of this and think about ur favourite one will come soon too! edit: for example i wished Rhino Prime Edited May 6, 2013 by Phoenix86 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judopunch Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 I wouldnt get to worked up, there are probably more primes to look forward to :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffanutter Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Am I gonna get in trouble for this? Probably but I cannot resist. Seriously, you all complained about how they made something Special in the Glaive and you had to pay for it, and now you are complaining about them giving you free access to some of the cool new content that will REQUIRE a Prime to get to?

Ced23Ric Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Frost is one of the more solid frames we have, where is the beef? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SYL3NZR Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 im actually really pissed about that... i love my frost and already see way too many for my likings... but now with frost prime i wont see ANY OTHER FRAME EVER until they release a new frame / prime version of one.... no more "being unique while playing a frame you like" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Notso Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Scumbag OP claims "not complaining to DE, it's a free gift, so I would never complain about it," then goes on to ask "Of all Warframes, Why Frost?" Three times. ;_; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luminati07 Posted May 6, 2013 Author Share Posted May 6, 2013 Scumbag OP claims "not complaining to DE, it's a free gift, so I would never complain about it," then goes on to ask "Of all Warframes, Why Frost?" Three times. ;_; Scumbag OP eh? Quote the part of my OP where I complained like you are implying? Having trouble? Right, because I never complained at all. I was simply wondering why Frost was chosen over a Warframe such as Loki, who is also a starting Warframe. From reading posts, it seems that Frost was originally a concept for Dark Sector, which in turn, makes sense to bring him to Warframe as a prime, just like Excalibur. Calling me a scumbag makes me laugh, you made my day. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nia.Tahl Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Personally I'm somewhat disappointed it's a male warframe again, which I don't like playing. Ultimately it's DE's choice though adn we'll see where it goes with the Primes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ced23Ric Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 At the end of the day, someone will always find something that'll annoy them. Why not be grateful for the exclusive reward? Other Primes will come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pisirk Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 If you guys remember from the live stream, their art director Mynki said that frost is one of his personal favourites. Maybe it was his decision to further beef up frost's appearance? But you guys can't deny the fact that this prime looks so badass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelgt Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Free gift is Awesome. And a Prime to boot. Just take it and make it if you want. Don't want it? Go sell it for 2.5k cred or let it collect dust in your inventory. Look at me, I just finished making a Frost and got it to rank 15 then suddenly Frost Prime came around. I'm still going to make the Prime. Although I agree with the fact that his design was like 90% complete during the time being the reason why it was chosen. And if this Prime is looking badass, what more with the upcoming ones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CeanCatt Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Because the Corpus typically set their bases on arctic settlements. They could've escavated it from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lifestream Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 not complaining about rewards.. but tbh... Frost has only good stats... skills literally suck. Ether too costly, stationary or low damage and area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ced23Ric Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 skills literally suck. Ether too costly, stationary or low damage and area. What? Snowglobe is handsdown the best defensive ability in the game. Freeze is spot-CC. Avalanche is AoE CC & damage. Even Icewave is frontal damage to multiple targets. Frost is quite strong in a defensive role. Any veteran will tell you how much they want a Frost on Defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It realy is not a question of wanting one. You NEED one for higher defense mission (excluded Infested) there is no exceptions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
