Magnulast Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Well DE is now a Chinese owned company so.... It's not surprising. I'm fine with a Chinese themed frame but if half of the frames coming out are going to be Chinese themed I think the game will have a different feel. Huh? I thought it was a branch-off of DE. where they had a seperate crew to work on warframe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catacomb Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 I like these chinese frames, so i don't mind at all if they add more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xgomme Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 I don't understand, we have at least 10 frames with god/mythology names, and now they'll put a chinese one it's bad ? xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urlan Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 I don't think this is a problem, in fact, while I like the designs of Excalibur, Rhino, Frost, and especially Oberon more; the Wukong design shown earlier seems fine and I am sure the Chinese mythology warframes will cater to an audience of players just as our already existing warframes currently do. The only real problem would be if the new warframes disrupted the lore of the game and that isn't probably an issue at least not yet, with so much background not yet set in stone.

(PSN)FunyFlyBoy Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Except all of those are in name-only, not total utter replicas of certain characters. Except Excalibur isn't. The myths of the sword says it has various abilities , that Arthur drew the sword for battle for the first time and it blinded everyone as if looking into 30 torches (Radial Blind and Exalted Blade). The fact he draws the blade from a sheath (his body) etc. Yeah no. Vauban the real man was a trapper as well, what does our Vauban do? Banshees are known for their loud glass shattering screams. Supernatural shows changed them from mourners to killers that the sound of their wails would kill you, Banshee kills with sound doesn't she? Loki was known as a trickster, a deceiver, isn't his abilities all in that vain? Only one who's name doesn't truly match their abilities and what their namesake could potentially so is Valkyr.

Lightsmith Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Warframe: 1) Make a frame. 2) Have players name it based on what its abilities do. Chinaframe: 1) Name a frame. 2) Give it abilities based on what the person it was named after could do. Fixed it for you. I love hope people always point to frames like Atlas as obviously the Devs have all western frames (ignoring the arguement that China =/= All of the East) but in reality, other than many of the original frames Fans named the frames. Fans put forth ideas, the Devs pick a bunch, then fans vote on their favorite from the batch. There have been plenty of other suggestions players have made that aren't western, or mythology based, same with the voting. Players just vote on it to decide, (I didn't pick Atlas personally, but majority rules) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UrielColtan Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 (edited) I Do not care,These New china lore based frames do not fit that much into our lore expect for umbra They have no lore. They are just aesthetic themes. Edited November 5, 2015 by UrielColtan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calwon5 Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Hahaha most of the replies are " its lore breaking ". Well the question is.... is there actually any lore at all? Nothing is set in stone, sure the frames from China are created from existing figures. Is that really a problem? Were getting them. Still separate from Star Armor. And think it this way. If we don't get any work from Star Armor, then we will get people complaining about it. So how about we just receive it happily and stop complaining about non sense.

RahuHordika Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 It's like you entirely missed the point that has been repeated over and over again. A warframe is designed, given a set of abilities and then it's given a reference name based on what it's abilities do. Chinaframes are literally characters turned warframes, no common theme to follow, they are literally designed after their name. What makes people upset is the unoriginality that comes from DE not even trying to at the very least make it seem like the powers have any relation to each other, literally just slapping together comepletely different and unrelated powers and calling it a day. I don't understand, we have at least 10 frames with god/mythology names, and now they'll put a chinese one it's bad ? xD Some posts above you have an answer, reading helps a lot y'know? Fixed it for you. I love hope people always point to frames like Atlas as obviously the Devs have all western frames (ignoring the arguement that China =/= All of the East) but in reality, other than many of the original frames Fans named the frames.

There have been plenty of other suggestions players have made that aren't western, or mythology based, same with the voting. Players just vote on it to decide, (I didn't pick Atlas personally, but majority rules) I didn't know 2 warframes out of the whole (with lots of release time apart) bunch suddendly counted as many.

Kaotyke Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 They are only doing Chinese lore Warframes, I dont know if thats a good or a bad thing. On one side: more Warframes, on flipside: possible lack of imagination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On one side: more Warframes, on flipside: possible lack of imagination. Pretty much my point. I don't mind them having frames that make a more.... direct reference to their namesake, but what we have now is quite more than that. Hell now that I think about it DE original frames and chinaframes will surely stand out from each other once they come into the global build.

Brachion Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 DE could just rename them for the global build. Again, there's nothing particularly "Chinese" about them aside from their names. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FoxyKabam Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Hell now that I think about it DE original frames and chinaframes will surely stand out from each other once they come into the global build. they will for sure all the original frames have a distinct look/feels to them where the china frames just don't have it as much and end up looking like reused parts it doesn't help that the abilities look like they're going to be reused abilities as well here are your good frames and here are the knock offs that are recycled from the good frames that's how I'll be stuck seeing the china frames, which sucks so panda frame is next?

Wukong powers are all based on the "Journey to the West". And from the looks of it, Nezah will be the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ionus Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 That is your argument? You do realize that can be picked apart with every Warframe, right? The Void is a place where "science and reason failed". To humor your question with some reasoning: 1. Channel Void energy to boost melee. 2. Channel Void energy into the Warframe to do his radial knockdown ability. 3. Channel Void energy to dissolve into a gaseous state. 4. Channel Void energy into his built-in staff to expand it's width and make it into an energy pole. You might as well admit that nothing about the chinese Warframes break lore. It seems like you and some people are just being prejudice. I personally don't dislike them because they are "lorebreaking." I dislike them because they're uninspired by design. I merely was playing Devil's advocate for why they could be lorebreaking. Refer to my last post for my feelings on the matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xhos Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Wrong. Wukong powers are all based on the "Journey to the West". And from the looks of it, Nezah will be the same. Inb4 Nezha can trap enemies in a tower Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helch0rn Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Except all of those are in name-only, not total utter replicas of certain characters.Short and rather incorrect version of Nezhas legend.According to the legend Nezha beat some dragon king dude and his sons. After that his hometown was threatend with destruction if he did not kill himself and so he killed himself. His mother built a shrine for him, his father destroyed it. Nezha was then revived by some dude and Nezha killed his dad for destroying the shrine. Makes a grat skillset right? His skills would probably look like this 1: beat up some guys 2: kill yourself 3: get revived 4: kill your father Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no problems with tapping the chinese mythos for inspiration because unlike the Egyptian, Norse, anf greco-roman myths its a seam that hasn;t been utterly played out to a western audience.
