DamienTokala Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Why no viral? Why no blast? Why no radiation? Why no magnetic? Maybe these will be augments for future chroma fans? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Centias Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 (edited) I was thinking the same thing, but probably mostly just because it would mean more possibilities they would have to account for with how some of the abilities function. Which it really seems like only changes one ability (Elemental Ward) beyond damage type. Still, I was hoping for this. The basic elements are only useful for basic enemies most of the time, nothing to really help take out the heavy targets. I also wanted Radiation or Viral for the status effects. Also, why the crap does Toxic give stamina? Who cares about stamina? Edited March 20, 2015 by Centias Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarframeStigma Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 why not corrosive? why not gas? it doesnt make that much sense when you think about it, when its said that Chroma is an elemental frame, they mean the standard primaries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

immolator1001 Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 You starts to run out of colors, especially the ones you are initially given. Even if we divide the colors up further so that we have yellow, orange, black, and purple, that's still not enough colors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zarlockk Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Yeah I expected both basic and combined elements but elemental ward would become too complex in that case. On a bright side, Toxic is great vs corpus and fire is decent for infested. So not too bad. But frame is quite solid from what I seen in traler, will have better idea on how he performs when i get him but atm I think when modding focus will be on shields and armor along with 1 and 3 as most main abilities to focus modding.

Monybags33 Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 "Element Frame" dose not mean "Mixed Elements Frame", they will probably make this possible in the future but it would be really cool if a "Frost" Chroma and "Fire" Chroma used their abilites at the same time and got a "Blast" explosion out of it. Something like this would be creative....or a sentinals element working in cohesion with him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perfectStranger Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 maybe because it works well with other warframes' elemental augment mods (saryn/volt/frost/ember) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KidMemphis Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Probably to keep it from getting to complex Easier to add 4 variants than adding 10... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vargras Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Why no viral? Why no blast? Why no radiation? Why no magnetic? Maybe these will be augments for future chroma fans? Because then everyone would just go corrosive or radiation for Voids and nothing else. There's a reason why Saryn's Miasma was the top skill on the power infographic.

bunitchu Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 (edited) Why no viral? Why no blast? Why no radiation? Why no magnetic? Maybe these will be augments for future chroma fans? why you already asking for those? We just received the frame the basic elements are already kickass enough as they are xD. But i get the hype, it would be nice to have those elements, but implementation will be tricky because the energy color influentiates what will come and thos elements mentioned are a mix of basic elements, so unless DE makes the mixes of the respective colors to have those effects, we will never see them because we cant have 2 energy colours on chroma =S.

theammostore Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 What colors do you think would work for Blast? Orange? Nope that's fire. Okay, Magnetic. That's a nice bl...that's electricity...Radiation can be a green! Oh wait.... Gas can also be gre...corrosive is gr...Viral is a g.... Yeah, not enough colors. Too bad.

Kaliphear Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Beyond the answer that's been given already (matching colors to elements gets complicated because corrosive/gas/toxin are all green etc), look at it from the perspective of what we have. As it stands now, all four "versions" of Chroma are distinct and different (well for that one ability anyway). Can you actually come up with 6 more interesting defensive buffs?

Holeypaladin Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 (edited) It seems the chroma was based somewhat on chromatic dragons (even the name)... but they only have four dragon types (red, white, blue, green) and are missing the fifth (black dragon, corrosive element). Also, green should be gas instead of viral. I'd be fine if they just added a corrosive option to chroma.

nms. Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 (edited) element chemistry : one of the basic substances that are made of atoms of only one kind and that cannot be separated by ordinary chemical means into simpler substances if we take that into warframe terms, gas, viral, corrosive, etc are not elements, they are a mixture of them. "Composition" elements in warframe are toxin, fire, ice and electricity, they can't be separated kekekeke topkek Edited March 21, 2015 by nms64 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GabrialDestruir Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 If they broke it down to something similar to this you could have the majority of combos available. FF0000 - Red - Fire 00FF00 - Green - Toxin 0000FF - Blue - Electricity FFFFFF - White - Cold 000000 - Black - Cold FFFF00 - Yellow - Gas 00FFFF - Aqua? - Corrosive FF00FF - Lavendar? - Radiation Obviously the system is not so exact as to require those exact colors this is just an example of what how the system could potentially work. But you would still lose three combos since cold is on the gray scale. No Blast, No Magnetic, No Viral. However As mentioned before there might always be some syndicate elemental mod for Chroma eventually. A simple augment mod would just be something like "Fiery Enhancement" - It gives Chroma fire element damage ontop of whatever he already has thus mixing and creating a combo. One such augment for each element and suddenly Chroma can do all the combos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VCD00IVI Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Why not just take the sydana color into consideration ? Like red energy color + white sydana = blast ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhoenix Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Why not just introduce four new augment Mods, each of which add an elemental bias and a small effect to his abilities? This would only give the Chroma the small effect if the elements matched, and it would require that the player buy all four mods from the Syndicates, but I think this would work nicely to allow for elemental combos. As for additional effects for his abilities based on the additional six elemental types, just leave the base element as the one that causes the effect (e.g. the element his color is set to will always define the base effects). The four base elements cover the four base components of your Warframe, being Stamina, Shields, Health, and Armor, so that still works fine - just change the actual damage type.
