My best guess is that The Warden is a sort of SCP esk entity that is trying to control a failed experiment but at the same time learn from its mistakes to a sort of more efficient experiment

regal pumice Dec 18, 2019, 10:36 AM

Meaning the whole purpose of going down there is not to find what is going on. But rather fix something that has been done in the real wirld

pearl juniper Dec 18, 2019, 10:40 AM

@cerulean forum Alien dna can be implemented into anything containing dna. Maybe they were trying to make changes to the human genome for a specific gene but turned south during human trials or containment break. CRISPR-Cas9 is a genome editing tool that can be inserted in a viral capsid and injected into the subject. This means if it replicates and infects new hosts then it can continue the process.

Object that caused the crater could have contained a virus thats only need is to replicate. The best viruses are those that can infect other organisms to facilitate the spread. Which was discovered by scientists and tried to harness it. But a famous quote from jurrasic park was “life finds a way”

A Virus cannot exist without a host for long, and if such a virus arrives on a meteor it would likely arrive on an extremophile bacteria, and in turn wouldnt pose much risk to anything else but those bacteria since viruses only attack certain bacteria

Viruses are not classified as living because they do not have a metabolism among other facors

last saffron Dec 18, 2019, 11:21 AM

#

When found outside of host cells, viruses exist as a protein coat or capsid, sometimes enclosed within a membrane. The capsid encloses either DNA or RNA which codes for the virus elements. While in this form outside the cell, the virus is metabollically inert

Space worms froze while in space. Thawed out or died when the meteor hit earth. Scientists wanted to study how the worms survived freezing. Hence the HSUs. They tried implementing worm dna in the people and freezing them. So not only do they look wormy but they look soggy and hallow because they've been frozen. This is the best explanation I can possibly think of.

@pearl juniper unlikely, there's too much genetic variation, there would be plenty of combinations of the subunits but a functioning collection would have to be from those certain genetic pools with a high abundance of the genes

#

And not have genes override them

wooden latch Dec 18, 2019, 11:47 AM

#

I just realize there are people who buy the game expecting it to be like C1 and quitting before they ever get to C1

#

Sad

midnight spoke Dec 18, 2019, 11:48 AM

#

Random mutations are also interesting, it could be not hitting the coding but most random mutations don't do much to actually alter the outcome of the process

lilac island Dec 18, 2019, 11:49 AM

#

they do still have some patterns, though

#

unless they're about to add a lot more variety

midnight spoke Dec 18, 2019, 11:49 AM

#

A frameshift mutation does alter it though

pearl juniper Dec 18, 2019, 11:49 AM

#

@midnight spoke so different combinations of the genes could code for different telomerase based proteins, but the ones that are the most effective compete with the genes that are least effective

lilac island Dec 18, 2019, 11:49 AM

#

but there's still gonna be some consistency with individual types of mutations

#

just remembered what telomerase was lol

#

@lilac island you an alter a genetic sequence quite a bit and still end up with the same enzyme or actions at the end, it largely depends on the type of mutation

pearl juniper Dec 18, 2019, 11:50 AM

#

Cytosine, Guanine, Adenine, and Thymine

#

If its a silent mutation it can have no impact of the end result. It would still make the same protein

midnight spoke Dec 18, 2019, 11:52 AM

#

@pearl juniper the subunits you described are components to make telomerase, just have a few pairs of subunits make a different version of telomerase is wack, it's not like DNA polymerase 1 and 3 where there's different encodings for it

#

As far as I know there's only one form of telomerase

oh right, thymine not telomerase

pearl juniper Dec 18, 2019, 11:56 AM

Very true

#

Right, thymine is a nucleic acid

#

ATCG are the “rungs of the ladder” on the double helix

Thymine gets replaced my uracil in RNA, which then codes for the protein

imb4 the infection alters the host using a leaky gene method

#

I'd actually be mad

#

And telemores are protective caps at the end of centromeres, it gets used during cell replication due to a overhang in the genes and your cells use the telomere to cover the gap

#

The only massive exception to this in humans, is cancer

#

Cancer is an immortal cell which just keeps replicating

Assuming at least some of the people in HSU's have the cortex interface and that some of them (at least the one's above ground) are connected to a network for monitoring. They could incidentally overlap or send neural images, feelings memories etc to each other incidentally. Explains a few things Dauda said in the trailer

A bit off topic for the lore

#

But has anyone else heard that they will reset the rundown after 2% of the community clears D1?

#

how hard is it to get D1

||it wouldnt be much if a surprise if we find out that the sludge/biomass altered the mutation of the normal bois to make them spiky though, they have qualities if shooters and strikers and have a lot more speed, also wouldnt be a huge shock to find out that the spikes cause extra infection "damage"||

@hollow parcel I've heard rumours like that. If you check the Warden feed, you can see that the current Rundown was started after the survival rate was at 2.5% wich was "on adequate levels" to start the current rundown

#

C2 is rough and you gotta clear it to get to D1, clearing D1 is even harder than C2 🤔

Where can the warden feed be found?

gleaming forum Dec 18, 2019, 7:26 PM

#

On the top of the discord page, not sure if I can link it here?

DO YOU guys think there will be like a pill tool

Ah perfect

Thank you

to keep that down

the infection

I'm sure it will be a stat to monitor, itd be interesting to see what that do with it, in Resident Evil: Outbreak there was an infection gauge that, once filled to 100%, would make you keel over and turn into a zombie, which made it possible to attack your still living team members anywhere you wanted

@hollow parcel although I think that the devs can't keep releasing new rundowns like that for long. At some point there won't be players who keep surviving the rundown many times while waiting for others to keep going at it.

hollow parcel Dec 18, 2019, 7:31 PM

#

I agree.

#

An interesting metric for rundowns to be reset at, but ultimately people will establish a meta and tried and true playstyles

#

And even people who are sub par will be able to limp through it

naive kindle Dec 18, 2019, 7:34 PM

#

The game is already able to be clowned through to a certain extent with the proper tools and accurate shooting, cant say that for C2 or D1 as I havent cleared them still but A1 and the B expeditions arent too stressful I think

gleaming forum Dec 18, 2019, 7:35 PM

#

Yeah, A1 and B feel stupid easy now that I have reached C1

#

D1 is easyish with right tactics too

#

agh

nah

d1 is hell

D1 better be hell lol, going from B to C wasnt too bad of a difficulty jump

gleaming forum Dec 18, 2019, 7:36 PM

#

that's what I meant to say

naive kindle Dec 18, 2019, 7:38 PM

#

C1 was great imo, hope we get a harder version of it in the next rundown

gleaming forum Dec 18, 2019, 7:38 PM

#

Yep. ||All that ammo and medipacks was overwhelming||

naive kindle Dec 18, 2019, 7:40 PM

#

||moving the ammo and tool refills was the savior there, that chokepoint through the door after they go up the stairs was where I got my team to post up after seeing their pathing the first time, letting them gain footing and falling back isnt the best but holding one position and taking turns with turrets was 10/10||

gleaming forum Dec 18, 2019, 7:43 PM

#

||That is the exact same tactics we used, and we too had to fall back once, only to let the second shotgun turrets to rip them into pieces||. It was amazing

naive kindle Dec 18, 2019, 7:46 PM

#

Big brain 😉 would love a similar expedition with ||spikybois|| to add a little bit of difficulty ||whatever made them spiky and fast needs to spread out eventually if it's a biomass anyway right?||

gleaming forum Dec 18, 2019, 7:51 PM

#

That kind of mission would be great! ||Now the about the lore: it would be cool if the story proceeded with the biomass thing spreading towards the surface, but I'm not sure if it will work that way. After all the rundowns start from the top and go down along the difficulty level, so we will never have hard enemies at the start.||

naive kindle Dec 18, 2019, 7:55 PM

#

||unless of course we get a rundown with a heavy biomass influence, to the effect we have to deal with the advanced mutations even at the B levels, which at this point in the games life its not likely but the possibility of it happening in the future should not be ruled out||

#

This is the fun part of speculation 😂

Offtopic
But would anyone mind giving me a type of landscape or situation for some concept art

like in a city or a forest or desert or whatever
