CorruptArtorias Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 I'll be honest. When I saw Chroma, I was a bit disappointed. I didn't expect it to look like a dragon but I thought they would have gone with a dragon theme of them being majestic,vicious and/or wise. If Chroma had been shown to me out of context (for example if I had no idea what warframe was) I would have had one of two thoughts: 1) Is that an anteater or seahorse person? 2) Damn, those new pokemon mega evolutions are getting crazy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-HAKUNA-YOUR-TATAS- Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 You are telling me that you do not see a dragon in this image. I really don't man... As mentioned before, I see is an anteater wrapped in bacon with BBQ ribs as shoulders. The shoulders may look a bit like a BBQ pork chop or rack of lamb, but that's up to interpretation. Hey. It's cool if you see a Dragon dude, I respect that. I'm just not seeing one myself. =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vaugahn Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Hey. It's cool if you see a Dragon dude, I respect that. I'm just not seeing one myself. =) I don't think it's meant to literally represent a dragon like the fan concept did, but rather use dragon-y features to evoke the general idea of a dragon. Like the wings and the shoulders, the scale pattern on the outside of the thighs and the back, the leathery interior areas and exposed ridged belly, stuff like that. They're features taken from various kinds of dragons, but combined in a way that creates something new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)sycamotree Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 The name Chroma sounds more light based. Don't quite see the link between a supposed Dragon and light/colors. But maybe when I see the powers I will. I know about the 1 power being based on the energy color but eh. Some frames have more than one kinda theme going so eh. Mirage seems more like a light based frame than anything else I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really didn't like it when Oberon resembled a deer or goat too closely. They took the animal inspiration a bit too far that time. I'm just really hoping that the alternate helm will give us the option to make him not look like an anteater. (not saying that my interpretation of his design should be everyone else's. you know me bro, I may disagree with people, but I respect their opinions.) Ehh... I'm sure with armor, syandanas and sigils some of us will manage to make him look cool, regardless of his birth defects. (J/K DE!!!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeigo Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 A less eccentric alternative helmet should go a long way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They took the animal inspiration a bit too far that time. I honestly think the ambiguity of the dragon theme is a response to feedback on recent frames saying the themes are getting too literal.

-Jack.Of.Blades- Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 (edited) It is man, don't worry about these threads anymore people just want to find reasons to find fault and be unhappy with something. Just let them wallow in their own dirt. It's satisfying knowing that there a good portion of the community that actually likes or is positively intrigued with this design. And I personally can not wait for it to come out. That's all that matters. Well said though I would use less harsh words myself XD Edited March 7, 2015 by -Jack.Of.Blades- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ionus Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Try stepping back from the initial hate for a second. Actually look at it. I'm not sure where people got seahorse from, I don't see that at all. Sea Dragons do exist, you know: https://www.google.com/search?q=sea+dragon&espv=2&biw=1600&bih=799&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=gmH7VPaAFqHIsQS6pYFo&ved=0CAYQ_AUoAQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sedu13 Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Chroma is a dragonslayer wearing the pelt of his kill, looks awesome now that I know what I'm looking at. Better yet, there are no dragons, so instead it's fashioned to look a bit like Lephantis. I love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)Akuma_Asura_ Posted March 7, 2015 Author Share Posted March 7, 2015 I think it's fair to say there's more people disappointed then excited about chroma. I feel like the devs have alot of responsibility when it comes to warframe. If they started release frames like chroma continuously they will lose money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MissFairy Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 (edited) To be honest, im not a fan of the looks of chroma or zephyr, then it hit me maybe every fan frame concept that DE decides to put into warframe will get to look like these two.DE never said that the dragon frame was based on the fan concepts. They said the dragon theme was requested a lot. And I prefer DE's version of zephyr over the fan concept to be honest.Ow and about Chroma I think he looks like a Greek mythology dragon or an Asian one.

I feel like the devs have alot of responsibility when it comes to warframe. If they started release frames like chroma continuously they will lose money I think it is fair to assume that you are pulling that out of your sphincter. There is no way you could be sure about the level of satisfaction with the design. First off, the majority of players do not frequent the forums. Hell, technically more people use the Reddit, and oddly you aren't seeing nearly as many complaints on there as you are on the Forums. Secondly, people tend to be louder when they are upset. Also, all of Warframes esthetics are a bit weird and this seriously happens after every new frame is teased. If people could stay rational for thirty seconds and say this design isn't for me, that would be one thing, but is it necessary to state that DE is driving themselves into bankruptcy every time they make a decision you do not like?
