Cytobel Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Ahh, The Profit video... Back when it seemed like we might get a channeled Shock, so we could BE the Amprex... You know, I'm struggling to figure out where Volt went wrong. It seems there were many points where it could've just worked out beautifully.

GeometricBison Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 So, you know how people have been asking for a Volt deluxe skin? Well, this is the concept art. On the bright side though, it makes Nova's deluxe skin look pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the Fuses idea tho but it's asymmetrical, don't ruin Volt with asymmetry pls. With the new glass textures from the glass frame they can do much better, make him all glassy and translucent lol.

Cryone Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 There're some Excalibur echoes in this Deluxe skin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah in some way Excalibur (with Chromatic Blade) is more Volt than Volt it self. Edited September 21, 2017 by Cryone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikusias Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 If that skin is official, well it's horrid - not wasting a plat on something like that. Liked Volt because it vas simmetrical and they go and remove one of it signature caracteristics? - Disgusted - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vafthrudnir Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 (edited) Volt normally is infested enough, we need a mechanical/glassy skin since there's the new glass textures. You know what, they'll do that anyway because they don't care about Volt and it will be dismissed fast with that thing.

Kotsender_Quasimir Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 yeah, volt totally needs glass textures because... um... glass is famous for conducting electricity? hm. i think that deluxe skin looks ok, certainly quite an unorthodox take on the theme.

It's not so much that the skin is bad, it just doesn't look like Volt. If it was a deluxe skin for Nidus or maybe Nekros, it wouldn't be so bad. Also, about me saying that the skin makes Nova's deluxe look good, that was just me being dramatic. I actually really like Nova's, it's just that the helmet is pretty ugly.

Not to conduce, but to control. In the old electric towers these things were made of glass, I still see some "relics" around, not in function I hope. Anyway It's like a forced conduit to not have it zap back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cytobel Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 (edited) That skin is more Nidus than Volt, like a less-obviously Infested Nidus. Yes, I see that it's SUPPOSED to be Volt, but (much like this rework) I feel that it's out of touch with what Volt is (or should be) about. It makes no visual sense as a Volt; I get that I'm ragging on a flat, incomplete concept, but it doesn't fit the 'Frame AT ALL. I'm hoping it looks better in 3D rendering, or else that it gets killed. Edited September 25, 2017 by Cytobel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must praise the ugliness of this skin, really it fully missess all the elements that make Volt recognizable to the point of being a completely different unit/frame... the way it was made asymmetrical reminds me more of artwork from chtulutech than anything warframe related. Maibe after texturing it won't be that bad. So far most frames have been always subtly asymmetrical but this concept really overdoes it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far most frames have been always subtly asymmetrical but this concept really overdoes it If it makes it seem any better, I've heard from people that it's supposed to be inspired by Frankenstein's monster, what with the monster-like appearance and metal conductors sticking out of the neck. If this is the case, at least DE got the electricity part right. Unfortunately, it didn't get much else right though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cytobel Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 I forsee a wave of "still waiting on Volt Delux skin" posts in the future of this skin. It's not a terrible skin, I guess. I just don't know what it's supposed to be for, because Volt ain't it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe they just came up on this randomly, relatively recently they didn't realize Volt lacked a skin. Oh and Octavia has a design already, talk of good and popular stuff. This is Volt Prime. This is the skin. Edited September 26, 2017 by giovanniluca Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiroTheTraveler Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Is it me or do CC frames really feel powerful? I'm not blasting through every enemy with electricity but I still feel powa, chopping off a lot of HP's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get Nova or whatever can tp, oh and remember that his sprint speed is so low that everything outspeeds you. Also dashes work good, naramon's dash, not really Zephyr's.

Wide open space with little cover and you take a frame who has a speed boost and can make cover for himself (that absorbs infinite damage)? Sounds pretty good to me.
