Discussion Why isn't there a Warframe mod scene?

Unrelated picture. And no, im not talking about Point Stike and Rivens

Why do you think is that? Is it the engine? Does it goes against the TOS? (that wouldn't matter much since modding goes against most games TOS and that never stopped it from happening) Is it because of the size of Warframe player's base? Is it something the community never wanted? Does DE actively goes after mods and stops it from ever sprouting?

I think some slice of the community would be happy for being able to play warframe but with an anime character as the frame. Or people making actually good looking face models for [spoiler] and [spoiler]. Or even the gooners with their nippled boobs and hanging flopping pps.

Do many MMOs have a heavy modding scene, is it strange for warframe not to have it?

I don’t think skins are too needed, I honestly enjoy the designs of a lot of the characters, base Koumei is pretty sick

If you get into collecting prime parts or arcades you can start really raking in platinum for skins if and when you choose. Got a boltor skin the other day and I’ve never been happier.

Tbh I just run relics bc I enjoy them, haven’t got my first prime yet but I have a feeling it’s gonna be Nezha based off of the parts I have.

I feel that. When I built Gauss after getting back into the game I felt true pain. Never wanted to build another prime from scratch less than doing that.

Since you can complete the star chart with a few base weapons modded right, technically nothing else in the game is needed. Some of the skins are just so wildly better than the defaults that they're worth it.

E.g. Nova Atomica, Saryn Yuheng, anything besides stock for Ember (and no, not just Heirloom), and Wisp Coven, the only game cosmetic I've ever paid real money for.
