Gelkor Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 (edited) If the DE wants to make money in the cash shop, they can always sell frames of the opposite sex. 1000 platinum for regular frames, 2000 for prime frames. InB4 Anniversary Proto-Nyx looks like Nemesis. Edited March 5, 2015 by Gelkor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir_Mousthachington Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 (edited) I don't really care for the frame genders, as i don't associate them neither with myself nor with the tenno i'm playing as. For me they are nothing but an armour. Also, i do believe that DE already tried to make the different genders for frames, (hence why Nyx looks like a female Excalibur) and it didn't work out. Appearently, it took too much effort to make an entirely cosmetic option that had zero impact on the gameplay itself.

Firetempest Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 (edited) If your aversion to anything but what you consider as yourself is so strong as you cant enjoy some parts of the game. That's really just on you. Its just not feasible for Developers to design around every single possibility within their own vision of their own universe. Like always playing human in a fantasy game. Its safe and known. Some peoples aesthetics are just that. You may not like skins that are not humanly natural. Like greens or blues.

Koujjo Posted March 5, 2015 Author Share Posted March 5, 2015 Or it would be better to have an option that you can create your character,when modifying your appearance and power so i will change his story so that you make a its unique warframes.What do you think about it? Well I've never understood WF's lore anyway. Is a warframe just a suit? Then how can it be male or female? Is it a character with a backstory? Then how can there be multiple copies of the same one in an instance? How can we acquire "parts" of the character from mission rewards? It really all makes no sense.

Rydian Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 So how long have you been playing videogames? Serious question here. Selectable genders is a very recent development outside of MMOs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kantazo Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 I honestly think this game needs a revamp on character design from the start so you can create your Tennos to each one more liking. I personally would like to see a trim down skinnier Rhino. (LOL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-.SP.-G43riel Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Well it's roleplaying I guess. You look at your character like and observer watching someone else. I look at it like its me in the suit. you mean it's bad roleplaying right? cause you are and should be able to roleplay anything if you want , that's just bad complaining Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(PSN)ShadowNinja77 Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 (edited) Tenno are maybe cyborg's which means any body type they want can be theirs Edited March 5, 2015 by (PS4)ShadowNinja77 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dhrekr Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 (edited) Dear OP: I play no female warframe, or videogame character, differently than a male one. I'm even used to playing characters who have a different sexual orientation than myself. Beat that! Edited March 5, 2015 by Dhrekr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really all makes no sense. Well there you've stumbled on the the crux of the mono vs poly-tenno debate. Personally, as mentioned previously, I subscribe to the mono-tenno theory that we are energy-ish beings that require Warframes to focus energies and hold a shape. The warframes we build are based on originals from the Orokin Era, which gained their shape and powers from their progenitors, and we can focus and gain those powers when utilizing those Warframe copies. Excalibur isn't a person, it's a suit design. Edited March 5, 2015 by Gelkor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well im pretty sure someone who has more info about this will correct me, but warframes what we use now are personalized by their orginal wearer and if it happened to be female.... so is their frame.

KingTaro Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Same here. Gender lock is a real deal breaker for me. The closest that we'll get to "gender choice", is frames with same themes but opposite genders. Meaning if we get a "male Ember", he'll have a different set of fire skills.

Koujjo Posted March 5, 2015 Author Share Posted March 5, 2015 So how long have you been playing videogames? Serious question here. Selectable genders is a very recent development outside of MMOs. I've probably been playing as long or longer than you and this is the first MMO I've ever played with genderlocking. My first MMO was Asheron's Call. Then I went to DAoC and then on to WoW. None of them have genderlocking. This is probably the only non-asian MMO I know of that has genderlocking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dama73 Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 (edited) I'm just going to add my 2 cents before this thing gets turned into a flamebait thread, and locked. While I would love to see a male and female version of each frame I don't see it happening any time soon since with this DE would essentially have to make a second alternate sex version of every single frame (except for Nyx/Excal and I think most of us know the reason for that already) But lets look at it this way, There are alot of games already that have a male and female slider/DDM etc in the character appearance options, imo switching between a male and female frame is the equivalent of switching that option. Want your character to be a male Tenno, they just play male frames, but if in your mind your Space Ninja Mercenary is a female then you only play Female frames. at the end of the day its all down to the players choice in how they view and want to play the game.

NatyNatNes Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Wow.. this topic is going bad, quickly...I personally don't have any issues playing as either a male or female warframe.. although I do play Mag the most due to her powers. I may not have a problem myself, but I can see how it could make someone uncomfortable to project themselves onto a female character while being male (or the opposite way around)Something that bothers me is that so many of these replies have people telling OP to change how he plays. My question is 'why?' why does he have to change? Every gamer games differently, let's face it. Just because you can easily play all kinds of people, does not mean that everyone else will be of that opinion.Another thing is the whole pishaz about gender in general.. have people forgotten that breasts or no breasts doesn't define whether a person identifies as male or female or neither? Can't we just accept that people are different?I can't see the logic in telling someone to stop projecting themselves onto the characters they play. That's like putting a straight, non-drag, non-trans male in a dress and going "oh, what? you don't like this? you don't feel like you? just ignore it! it's just a dress" this whole thing isn't about someone being sexist, it's about an individual not feeling comfortable playing as something he's not. Similair to how I am incapable of supporting the 'evil' side on rpgs while others are a-okay with it.Please stop with the judging? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anatolius Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 (edited) Well I've never understood WF's lore anyway. Is a warframe just a suit? Then how can it be male or female? Is it a character with a backstory? Then how can there be multiple copies of the same one in an instance? How can we acquire "parts" of the character from mission rewards? It really all makes no sense. Warframe is the suit that incases the tenno (which has a sex because they were people) which just happens to be that gender. For all we know, in the actual warframe universe, male embers and female lokis COULD exist but from what I can tell, there are very few tenno in the world with respect to the number of grineer/corpus/infested that exist. When you fight a boss, you obtain parts of a warframe However, it is still not clear the true relationship between warframes and tenno. Tenno obviously need warframes to survive and control their powers. But I dunno if they just got a stack of tenno bodies somewhere in the liset and they just wrap the warframe around the sleeping tenno???? All that is new in the game,people are buying.Especially such a major change such as changing gender... I mean long time I dont think it could produce the same amount of revenue as other popular items and I mean for the total player base. The gender swaps will sell but over a long period of time, depending on the price and demand, it wont bring in that much money 50 dollars= 1000 platinum if you want to change all the girls that is: 11 warframes * 1000 platinum= 11000 platinum or 220 dollars which for 220 dollars you get about 4300 platinum which will only swap 4 warframes which ofcourse is unrealistic, you might change out 1-3 warframes, still about 3000+ platinum based on prime or not which is about 150 dollars. To change the gender. of a character. for no other reason besides cosmetic. So regardless you are gonna be shelling out ALOT of money to change the gender of a frame which you could use on cosmetics.
