vasvaska Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 It's definitely Chroma. ( There will be a new quest involving the new Cephalon.) here is why: Notice the little edge on the crotch: : https://n8k6e2y6.ssl.hwcdn.net/sanctuary/webm/162-dark-DZmhV6fmI7tOpeInrsmg.webm Now compare that with the stock pictures we were given.P.S. it's a triangle... Chroma's crotch is Illuminati. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stantro Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 OP circling that part of picture, wanted to point that he has the exactly same thing on his knees that the revealed Chroma had. Also shape of head is exactly the same. No mistake here. It's Chroma. But without a tail it seems. ah. thank you for pointing this out. i'm not going to go on a tangent with my thoughts on chroma, but it's good to know.

Buzkyl Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Still no news on a redesign... Why would they redesign a frame that's not even in game? Because people finds its ugly? The forum is always polarized when it comes to frame looks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The forum is always polarized when it comes to frame looks reason why they would redesign it: money. if people don't like it, they won't buy it. I have to admit the looks aren't the issue(my opinion), it's the fact that people are too used to the European design of a dragon, and they don't like the thought of a supportive dragon unit in a group of tenno Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaotyke Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 If it is a quest, it better be called 'Enter the Dragon'. That's a lot more of a suggestive title than I'd like. It actually made me think of Okami, we enter a Water Dragon' belly and kill it by accident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infact people are likely going to farm the frames than buy it outright to save plat along with the other U16 stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NovusNova Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Its most likely his alt helm, maybe DE switched his planned alt helm to his default helm, and his shown default helm to be his alt helm. Would have been the best solution, people start with a more dragon looking (hopefully) helm, then if they liked the old one, they can have it if they want.

Morec0 Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Yeah about that... Not to crap on your whole theorycrafting but I just want to know if there is any confirmation that the line is still there. I don't recall in which one it was but it was presented in some patch notes that an 'ambiguous Ordis line' in the Limbo Theorem quest was modified (as Steve said they would in that one QA reddit thread). I think it would be wise to confirm that that line is still there before using it as an argument point, otherwise we just have to pretend it never happened. With all the bloody dataminers and whathaveyou out there, I imagine that the moment it got changed we'd have known about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nekros was similar, he was displayed with his Alt helm and Syndana, but on released we just got his default helm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Takatashi Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 (edited) How come you all are so rude? It's natural white knight behavior.

jennibear Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Then somehow we started to get really over the top things like oberon, mesa, limbo, hydroid, zephyr, and now chroma I think the art style has gotten afar from its true roots - whether that be good or bad though is just a matter of opinion - I however believe it should stay to its true roots. TLDR; it's not bad, but it's not good in my opinion either, it's just different How is limbo over the top? he basically just has a hat and a suit, on par with frost's design. Mesa is also not complex at all she is literally a "suit" but with wrap on her head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morec0 Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Sea monster=/= dragon There's classically been a close association of the two. And looking at Greek mythology - the same culture from which Chroma's name is pulled - the serpentine aspect of a dragon is exaggerated a little more, like the image you quoted. Not like I see a point why I'm arguing, though, if it had been anything other than Rhino-clone Europe-dragon people would have been pissed about it regardless.

I can see why people don't want another but lets be honest, we are kinda lacking in the beefy tough-guy frame department. Eventually I would like to see another. Not soon, but eventually.

And looking at Greek mythology - the same culture from which Chroma's name is pulled - the serpentine aspect of a dragon is exaggerated a little more, like the image you quoted. In the Greek culture there was a close association yet they are not synonymous. They are not the same thing. Draco was a serpentine dragon, Cetus was a serpentine sea monster. Both serpentine, not both dragons. In fact several of the Cetus myths sound more like a whale than a serpent anyway.... And Chroma's name, despite being a greek word, may very well be a reference to the Chromantic Dragon from D&D which was confirmed to be the inspiration behind his power style. Not like I see a point why I'm arguing, though, if it had been anything other than Rhino-clone Europe-dragon people would have been &!$$ed about it regardless. I don't buy that at all. There is no reason to think something like an Asian style dragon based frame would have been ill received. Edited March 19, 2015 by Ronyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't buy that at all. There is no reason to think something like an Asian style dragon based frame would have been ill received. The Cetus was a type of dragon associated with the ocean. A sea serpent, yes, but a sea serpent was just a type of dragon for the Greeks. And where do you think Chromatic got it's name from? Hrmm? Maybe, maybe not, but people were SO sure that it was Endrian's concept in the days leading up to it (I myself one of them and DREADING it) that I think it's not beyond the realm of possibility. Because, I don't make this claim under "oh! people wanted a European-style Dragon Frame" but "people wanted what a player had created" and what the player had created was a European-style dragon frame. Anything else wouldn't have been it, and people would have been &!$$ed regardless.. I wouldn't have complained too much. I can see why people don't want another but lets be honest, we are kinda lacking in the beefy tough-guy frame department. Eventually I would like to see another. Not soon, but eventually. And I wouldn't have complained at all, but I think we've got enough beefy guys for the time. And, while that might be true, I don't particularly care for the look. Rhino just looks incredibly boring to me. EDIT: Though, I have to say, Chroma's pretty bulky looking. Edited March 19, 2015 by Morec0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
