Andaeros Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 They don't have alphabet characters in anything discernible, they're in tenno or orokin or whatever language they speak/write with. The texture on the shoulder gets stretched out of proportion, but pretty sure it's the lotus symbol with some stylized design under it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neuhnee Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 (edited) It's on several, but not all of the Frames. I think it's meant to bet something of a Unit Badge. Edit: I think *not* having them on all the Frames may have been an oversight. Personally I feel like they should be on all Frames, and even be a different colour tag from the part that they appear on, say tint #4?

Neuhnee Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 On the American Army uniform, a soldier can choose to display any previous unit they have served with in this spot. The same spot on your left shoulder is for the unit you are currently assigned to. It's easy to remember because in a fight the %98 of us who are right handed will present our left shoulders to our opponents as if the badge there is saying 'this is who I am', while our right shoulders are behind us as if to say 'this is where I come from'. Remember, Loyalty is the Essential Duty of the Soldier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aramet Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Vauban has a symbol on his right shoulder, but it is far less detailed than the one on Excalibur. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R3leaZ Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 (edited) Vauban has a symbol on his right shoulder, but it is far less detailed than the one on Excalibur. Im wondering if you are playing on low settings since they are quite detailed for me. This game occasionally gets stuck in low res textures and a restart would fix that. The symbols on Vauban seem familiar to the symbols on Loki's left leg. EDIT: Oh I see Vauban also has 2 symbols on both legs LOL Edited June 13, 2013 by R3leaZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: Oh I see Vauban also has 2 symbols on both legs LOL Didn't notice the ones on his legs, and I play on medium settings. By less detailed, I meant it's more of a partial flower with two tilde-like lines. Excalibur's looks like two layered flowers with two lines protruding and fancy designs the middle. I doubt my settings would take away details on this tattoo-like imprint? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They all look very sharp too me o: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will definitely look for those once I am back from vacation though, thanks for pointing them out. :3Also, if each Warframe has a different symbol, could it also be their name in some kind of Orokin language? They look very similar to the elaborate designs in the Void (and yes, I know we are connected to the Orokin, which is why I ask). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember, Loyalty is the Essential Duty of the Soldier. That's... not actually true for the American Army. The right shoulder just has the flag. The left is for unit patches. That said, it would be cool if the right shoulder always had the Lotus/Tenno symbol and the left shoulder had a guild symbol, for the reasons you point out.

Kashaan Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Well, I don't think it was like that when I was in. Unless I've just forgotten, which is entirely possible. Either way, my mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neuhnee Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Maybe there *is* a lotus somewhere on every Frame. I just found the one on my Loki and he's my main. Course, it's a pretty bad place to put it, it's usually covered up by a Dark Sword. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
