Gender augment

[(PSN)MARXIANapparel]

A farmable dojo fashion augment that allows a cosmetic gender change for a frame.

No.

Gender change for warframes was already discarded by DE

[Syvarin]

This isn't feedback. It's a suggestion, and one that has already been considered and denied. It's not like there's some simple switch to flip Warframe's genders. DE would literally have to create new models and textures for every single Warframe (well, maybe not Equinox) and their prime variants. It would be an enormous amount of work for something that really wouldn't add much to the game.

... Why?

This. Id rather have DE focus on creating assets for a new frame, wich adds new ways to play, than create alternate looks for alternate genders.

The only constructive suggestion i can give for this is that DE allows the community to create the alternate gender looks (Tennogen)

It only forces DE to be more creative with the new frames coming out, they would be able to just tac on gender to the same ability. Everybody know except to few frame sync game play mechanics we replaying the same character over in a different gender anyway just not by our choice, Truth be told. This would be great for DE creative wise. It will expand warframe development greatly while adding new fashion frame variants.

All it'll do is double the time it takes to release new frames while adding in new assets to preexisting frames.

I think I heard the DE animation department scream in unison.

Please explain more. I don't understand the "why" of doing this. Are you uncomfortable using warframes that are opposite your own gender? Do you have a great fashion look, for example, for Ember as a male or Ash as a female? I'm not totally against the idea, but it seems strange and I would never play my Chroma or Inaros as a "female" because those are my warframe hubbies.

DE already said is double work for almost no return, and they prefer to create new frames instead.

"It will expand warframe development greatly" yes, and thats the point, is more work on a team that is already working full time. "while adding new fashion frame variants" only one more variant. Dont get me wrong, the idea is good, is just that the costs of implementation are too much for so little return, and thats why i suggested tennogen as a viable solution

Part of the development of a game is considering what can be done with the limited resources the team has, in an ideal world all the options would be there, but realistically you have to pick and choose what you can do

[(PSN)IroncladBomber]

I don't see a need for this, Especially considering many of the Frames are based, at least in name, on Characters from History/Mythology.

New frames with new powers is better for business. They want people to buy frames, slots, potatoes. 

Letting you change your 8 forma trinity to male just nets them more work hours.

What I would rather see or hear is a gender switch for the operator.

Whats missing beyond face change, voice change, and hair change? Some massive baps for your physical teenager.

Voice change, female operator with a male voice is a little weird. Unless I have missed the selection to change the voice.  I'm fairly new and just unlocked the operator, but didn't see an option to change the voice.

The operators are supposed to be like pre teens, where the sexual 2ndary characters are not as develop to clearly differentiate them by those, wich gives us androginous models to tweak for a slightly more feminine or masculine look (add voice for that too) but keeping them with a "neutral" look

There is a separate tab called "Heron", if i'm not mistaken. It is there, by default.

Some option has to be the first, that doesnt mean that they are all boys (unless you see them all that way... :P)

[Dreddeth]

Basically, you want DE to design and animate 2 complete and separate models for every 1 set of abilities.

That's a lot of work for basically no payoff. My advice is to be less insecure about your own identity and just enjoy the damn frame.

Speaking from my experience with TERA, if you get too hung up on your character's gender, you're not gonna have a good time at all compared to playing a character/class for their actual kit. If I were so insistent on playing only characters of my own gender, I'd have never discovered how fun Gunners, Ninjas, Brawlers, and Valkyries were, and as far as this game is concerned I'd be stuck playing one third as many Warframes as I do now.
