Archangel221 Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 To start, Warframe is a great game and is getting better every day, but in my opinion warframes should have the possibilty of utilizing different armor pieces that would be cosmetically different from the stock warframe armor and would give bonuses to abilities in the same way that mods work. For example, if the stock Loki helmet granted a bonus to rifle accuracy, then a new helmet would look different and might give a bonus to melee damage. These Armor pieces would be divided into 6 sections: Helmets, Chestplates, Shoulder guards, Gauntlets, Leg plates, and Boots. They would be given only as rewards for Alert missions or as drops from bosses. What do you guys think? i think that this would allow for Tenno to further specialize their role in the squad and prevent all of the same kind of warframes from looking the same, making it easier to stand out among the hordes of other online players. But maybe I'm crazy Archangel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volt_Cruelerz Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Aesthetics and combat effectiveness should remain separate, else you'll get cases where people are upset because their awesome looking helmet is less effective than an uglier one.

EclecticDragon Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Aesthetics and combat effectiveness should remain separate, else you'll get cases where people are upset because their awesome looking helmet is less effective than an uglier one. Well there is an answer to that problem, it's called vanity slots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volt_Cruelerz Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 ... which would be separate which is exactly what I said... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GIMO Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Volt's right... although the idea of customizing armor asthetics is nice. It'd be better to keep looks and effectiveness seperate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johncage Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 i like the sleek, almost "naked" look of the armor. lets not turn it into another halo with big blocky metal pieces all over your &#!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NexiKuro Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 (edited) so basically you could add vanity slots for Helmets, Chestplates, Shoulder guards, Gauntlets, Leg plates, and Boots. And then assign certain mod slots to those locations?( a diffrent kind of mod? ) The current mod system supports plenty of speccing options, but the main Issue with it is the randomness of mod drops. I'm not saying its perfect, but I can see it being adapted in a way that yields similar results. EDIT: as for the vanity slots, once we get some additional skins and possibly some more customisation options (like even more colors) you should be able to make yourself unique enough. Splitting up warframes into segments that have to fit together properly isn't something we can expect from DE I think. The current designs are so elaborate that would be a lot of work and it would limit them in how diverse the skins could be.

Volt_Cruelerz Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 What would the usefulness be of having mods dedicated to certain body parts aside from more farmer frustration? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neKroMancer Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 It's good idea but DE obviously want to sell skin which probably have the same effect, aesthetically, as the OP proposal. Good look with customizable mod for effectiveness. Good looking skin = take my money. I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karagera Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Hats. I want loads of hats. I want fancy effects on those hats that jack up the value stupidly high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genjiru Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Hats à la TF2? Please no. I wouldn't mind changing my Volt's Crabface to a more sci-fish thing like mag's helmet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
direcyphre Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 I'd drop 200 plat for a top hat and a monocle. But seriously, I am awaiting cosmetic additions, and I'm sure they are on the way but maybe not totally priority at this moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cypherhalo Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 An interesting idea but I see that there is an option for re-skinning your warframe. Obviously, they don't have any new skins up yet but I think that will be what we have to deal with and honestly, I would be cool with just that option. Especially since you can re-color your warframe. So, unless the devs are really gung-ho for the OP's suggestions, I'm cool with new skins and coloring options.

direcyphre Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Variation on parts would certainly be nice though! Such as different heads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
