Baigan Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 A friend once told me why he exclusively plays girls in videogames. "When you play a game like this for hours on end, would you rather stare at the backside of a curvy heroine, or chunky man-&#!?" So no, playing a girl does NOT diminish your manliness. It shouldn't matter either way. Female frames kick equal &#!, and are probablier manlier than us who play them anyway... Whenever someone plays that argument, makes me think "So THAT'S why you stood on the fire and died, too busy staring at your character's &#! instead of paying attention". :\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grinbringer Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 (edited) DroppedaBeat, on 26 Jun 2013 - 03:50 AM, said: The idea that each Warframe is just a "suit" is incorrect. They are individuals. They are physically one with their suits, and their suits are designed just for them. [Citation needed] I only heard them say it's an exoskeleton similar to ones being prototyped in the real world. Also, what about alternate helmets? Somehow there is not one suit just for you, but another suit with a different helmet as well. I cannot personally play a women character as comfortably as I would like too. Let me add onto this. Warframe Gender Skins could be sold at the market for Plat. More plat = More income. They could be on alerts More alert items = Less potato chance Less potato chance = More people buying potatoes More people buying potatoes = Profit And, it could change the customization of the game. I agree with these points. * I also tried playing a female character and it just doesn't click with me. This means that I won't buy/play half of the warframes. So it affects their profit. * Now that they are adding clan dojos and possibly larger more public "lobby", it will become more of an issue when you see 20 Excaliburs rubbing shoulders. Want a taste of this? Go to Marvel Heroes. Adding the opposite sex makes the issue 2 times smaller. * What exactly do people opposing this have to lose? You can still play the warframe of your preferred sex. There will be more variety in the game. Edited June 27, 2013 by Grinbringer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jintachi_Sanumai Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Really, again? Yes and again untill they get the message. They nerfed Rhino after hearing complaint after complaint. However something that has NO NEGATIVE EFFECT like more character customization? still getting outcry. Keep the topics up ladies and gents. We might be able to sway them.

Jintachi_Sanumai Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 No they dont need them. You want them. Completely different things. The game needs what the players want. Some things didn't need nerfs but some players wanted them. If you will cripple a play style you can give us a gender option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jintachi_Sanumai Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Make a poll There was one. 60% in favour 30% against, 10% wanted new frames with opposite genders of the same specialization (Ember/blaze) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On Topic: In the recent Livestream DE took stance and said that alternate gender Warframes of a specific theme will be unique frames with a similar, but different skillset, if anything. You're actually right on this in more than just that livestream, in a previous (believe it was Livestream 6) Steve (or Geoff, forgot) said they had a idea for a Male version of Ember called Blaze. I like the idea of having two different Warframes than doing a Gender swap because it would increase the ability range possibility (maybe they'll have different abilities) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grulos Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 I agree... I cannot personally play a women character as comfortably as I would like too. Let me add onto this. Warframe Gender Skins could be sold at the market for Plat. More plat = More income. They could be on alerts More alert items = Less potato chance Less potato chance = More people buying potatoes More people buying potatoes = Profit And, it could change the customization of the game. Not everyone wants to be a chicken with thunder thighs when controlling the element of fire. Not everyone wants to control sound while looking like a Xenomorph. This could change that. Personally, it would just be another reskin, wouldn't be impossible to do. Not for plat, otherwiese nice idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhoyzu Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 You get more diversity, uniqueness, and originality if there are more customizations then just colors. Color + Gender is more then just colors. wrong, if everyone is playing male. wheres the diversity. think fist speak after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kgb_cyborg Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 (edited) This again. Would love gender customisation. A few sliders maybe, to allow a range of gender expressions. Oh wait you meant binary sex reskins? Why is it I wonder that I've only ever seen people complain about playing female frames? A few lessons to be repeated here: 1) Gender is not a binary 2) If you actively dislike playing female frames, it is probably an unconscious expression of most societies' devaluing of women and femininity, aka sexism (or not so unconscious, based on some of the people I've encountered in this game) 3) At this stage of development, playable content > binary sex reskins Edited June 28, 2013 by kgb_cyborg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ariarch Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 I was excited to see the antimatter frame was coming out soon untill i saw the teaser pic and it showed it will be a female frame. Ugh. Now Im not going to knock guys who like playing with female frames nor should they knock us manly men. But really, genderswaps are the best route to please your customer base. I want this, but the devs denied us. Too bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

11.11.11 Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 True. And I guess the problem of the mod pool is not going to go away. But I think the mod system is flawed anyhow and this is one of the reasons why. Give me my MAN TRIN! 24 inch pecs and a lobster bib please. Oh god that'd be brilliant. Lobster King. Honestly I hope you get it at some point, be it the way I suspect or via a skin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ValhaHazred Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 This again. Would love gender customisation. A few sliders maybe, to allow a range of gender expressions. Oh wait you meant binary sex reskins? Why is it I wonder that I've only ever seen people complain about playing female frames? I've complained about having to play men before :) I'd like non-binary choices too. Two of the fan frames I've drawn are gender neutral, Supulchre and Pink Octopus. https://forums.warframe.com/index.php?/topic/63056-valhas-fan-doodles-update-62013-butts-and-bragging/#entry664993 https://forums.warframe.com/index.php?/topic/63056-valhas-fan-doodles-update-62013-butts-and-bragging/page-2#entry696567 I would love a body type triangle slider, but I'm not gonna hold my breath. I need that breath to *@##$ at the Devs for their (imo) boneheaded decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
