i see so wait albrecht is on his way to fight wally in tau rn?

restive river
#

We literally rewrite history

frosty meadow
#
  1. Both were trapped in a paradox (umbra trapped reliving bad memories, Arthur reliving the new years incident)
  2. Both have actively tried to fight the alternate versions of the tenno (Umbra with operator, Arthur with Drifter)
  3. The facial features. Both have white-out left eyes and Arthur's face has scars that are shaped exactly like the broken part of Umbra's mask, let alone in the same position.

im not saying it is him, im just saying its a direct parallel that could be the result of a paradox of some sort

humble sierra
#

Umbra’s memory thing wasn’t a paradox, it was basically him watching a video on loop

#

question is why the hell did the drifter kill himself a lot in duviri?

humble sierra

You’re looking for evidence that isn’t there.

restive river
#

You literally said you have “definitive proof”
None of that is definitive or proof.

Sure there’s parallels
Thats it
Nothing more

Couldn’t leave anyway, no way out until Lotus and Teshin come around

mfw I make an imaginary friend from my funny book and an imaginary world but oops it isn’t imaginary anymore cause the void does its silly little thing

steel creek
#

who got it worse? the operator or the drifter?

restive river
#

I think it’s unfair to compare trauma

#

Trauma is trauma

feral cape
#

They also fundamentally can't be the first

restive river
#

One got a hell of their own design
The other got war
Both watched their parents and sibling(?) die

feral cape
#

Warframe uses a causality based omniscient perspective of time meaning the hex to an outside viewer come after warframes

restive river
#

The protos can not exist without the warframes being made by Ballas

#

No bootstrap paradoxes here either

feral cape
#

The only bootstrap we've got is duviri

restive river
feral cape
#

Because the Drifter can only be free after the tenno help him but the tenno can only help him because drifter freed them

restive river
#

OH
ye

feral cape
#

Drifter saved us from our own history

feral cape
#

Ontologically no

restive river
#

Yesn’t

humble sierra
#

Yeah prior to any proper info I thought Cyte-09 was actually Quincy who festered for so long he became the fully Warframed Cyte-09, who Albrecht then looked at and based Quincy on that Warframe who was actually Quincy

But that’s not at all what happened, Cyte-09 is just a Warframe who had his history erased

feral cape
#

There 2 fundamentally separate existences

After act 3 of tnw we merged in someway

Its not hard to just say the frame didn't exist when I control history

History as in “lore archives”, not actual time history

We arnt voging anyone yet

I wouldn't be surprised if when unsealed wally has that kind of power

humble sierra

Voging?

restive river
# steel creek ????????????

Gender is a societal construct and the ability to change our gender is just a thing we can do, either due to it being a gameplay mechanic or because transitioning is simple for someone in our position

Can’t let the people know you’re not actually gods

Ans gods never make mistakes kinda the whole reason there gods

False gods

Except like mythologies where the gods act as the people do

Those gods suck usually

He only cheated on his wife once

Yeah Zeus is a horrible person
But at least its comparatively realistic :p

feral cape
#

Which when comparing to other dietys makes him seem like a saint

Sometimes he kidnapped his wife other times she just got lost in the underworld

Disney making Zeus seem like a decent person had irreparable consequences

Are the orb mothers considered spiders or crabs? Because they’re called raknoids and there are also the coolant raknoids which are referred to as spiders but the orb mothers look more like crabs imo

He said himself he doesn't know if he was dead or alive when he fell in, but that's irrelevant to whether or not he can leave. There has been no indication that he can't.

graceful swan
#

There’s been no indication he can

#

If anyone could get him out he would be out by now

#

He got very hurt falling in too

sly ibex
#

"In all the ages of Thrax's reign, only two strangers have ever known to come to Duviri. One was the monk, Teshin, who fell from the sky into the lake on the island we now call Hermit's Landing. Seemingly lifeless, he was dragged ashore by Mathila who nursed his return to health. I have never known a constitution to match his; yet unlike us, he has... deteriorated... with the passing of time." - Acrithis

#

We have no reason to believe he can't leave, other than simply not having the means to on his own.

graceful swan
#

He definitely can’t leave on his own

#

He’d need Drifter to do it

digital grail
#

Drifter said teshin can't leave in a pom 2 dialogue I'm sure

graceful swan
#

But he can leave

digital grail
#

Can he?

graceful swan
digital grail
#

I meant teshin

graceful swan
#

Drifter said Teshin can’t leave?

digital grail
#

Yeah drifter said in a pom 2 chat that teshin can't leave duviri

#

I might be wrong as I can't actually check

graceful swan
#

Makes sense considering he doesn’t have portal power

#

Plus with his injuries walking is probably harder

digital grail
#

It's probably easier for him to stay in duviri

#

And safer

graceful swan
#

I never got the chance to see that conversation

digital grail
#

I might have had it I'd have to check though

visual ermine
#

That was the implication I got too about Teshin.

Also kind of a bleak confirmation about how Duviri isn’t a place that can actually change in that sequence of conversations, it seemed to me

He’s the goat

also who's valeria?? does he ever talk abt her in duviri???

All he says is
“WHY? NO! NO! VALERIA!”

#

No info past that

#

:// man. i wanna know who she is...

visual ermine
#

It’s kind of funny that they include options to establish your drifter as much of a psychopath as you might possibly want in the messenger. At the end of the day you can still just grind out the affection.

sly ibex
visual ermine
#

You can choose to be a complete a-hole, poke at all of their deepest traumas, completely shut down every meaningful conversation

#

There’s dialogue like where Arthur asks you how you deal with all the death and you can be like, “it’s all just video games to me bro!”

#

Basically as soon as you get into the deeper conversations there’s always a “f you” option

raw stone
#

Personally I like ahem shipping Quincy and my Drifter with Oberon as the chosen Metal Puppet of his affections. Symbolically ironic.

#

Back to the thing at hand... Teshin, Valeria, Drifter, Pom2, I notice I'm missing some stuff, did anyone perchance not fungle their Sibiling chat with Arthur?

#

What info came of a finished chat on that topic. I wanna know.

#

Right, So a question, has anyone figured the meaning of Mara Lohk?

#

Seems like the meaning is not for a child and there's and Easter egg that does not seem to be a coincidence

graceful swan
lean willow
#

I think their real intention goes to actualy the Demon theory

#

I'll explain why, One of Eleanor's voice lines when you shift INTO the Warframe and i quote; "Ah. Void demon take the wheel." And i highly doubt it is some sort of a coincidence

#

Strange but it brought me back straight into the Mara Lohk theory

old dome
visual ermine
#

There’s a lot of different versions of the drifter’s background depending on your choice

graceful swan
#

I don’t think I bothered with the sibling thing or said it jokingly and never brought it up again

raw stone
#

I was moreso interested in it

#

But I fumbled it trying to be mr tall dark and brooding like Arthur

visual ermine
#

If you say you have a sibling, implication is that they died during the event I think

raw stone
#

I should've stuck to being "She was a fairy 🎵🧚🎶BombaPoint 🎵"

#

Yeah. I got the implication of that from the following response tree after saying "I had a sibiling[...]" or something.

Chickened out

They don’t go into it in any detail if i recall. Think it’s safe to assume the whole adults vs kids fray was pretty grisly on both sides

Here's some deep thoughts with the deep for you. How old is Eleanor? By going off of the actress, Amelia Tyler's age, she's 43 years old (1981). So if we do 1999 - 1981, Eleanor is 18. However, if we're going off of that Eleanor is Amelia's age, then she would've been born in 1956. Which is more logical?

proper barn
#

don't the dossiers have age?

silk atlas
#

no

humble pawn
#

the 1999 portion where you play as a dude named arthur in the Whispers in the walls mission is so cool, if only they made a quest based on 1999 alone

proper barn
#

I WONDER WHO WOULD DO THAT

humble pawn
#

if only

cloud carbon
#

Still, what do we think? How old would Eleanor be?

restive river
#

20+

humble sierra
# cloud carbon Here's some deep thoughts with the deep for you. How old is Eleanor? By going of...

The characters wouldn’t be born the same time as the actors. If an actor born in 1997 was in a movie released in 2020 but set in 1896, that wouldn’t mean the character is negative101. The character would likely be 23.

However this is voice acting in a sci-fantasy game, so if they wanted, a 40 year old woman could convincingly play a 14 year old boy.

The characters themselves don’t look or act much older than 30, max.

Why did Albrecht create the hex just to kill them off on new years eve?

glossy gazelle
knotty birch
#

So he killed them to get us to make a timeloop?

glossy gazelle
#

So checked the wiki, got this summary here from Loid:
Loid at one point suggested the idea of using the Grey Strain abundant all over Deimos, whose growth property are known to have reached monstrous dimensions. It was then that Albrecht had came up with the idea of developing The Vessels, combining the humanity of Arthur, the anatomical works of Ballas, and the monstrous growth of the Grey Strain; an equivalent to a Warframe on a titanic scale.

knotty birch
#

I know what the hex are yes

#

I just don't get why he'd go through the trouble of making protoframes just to kill them off insisting their existence brings in the void

humble sierra
#

Have you done the finale?

knotty birch
#

Yes

#

Did the first ending just get rewritten to not happen?

humble sierra
#

It’s implied he only killed the Hex so that way the chosen operator would fight to save them, and that would create enough “love” to fight back the Indifference

glossy gazelle
knotty birch
#

So he did literally kill the hex just to get us to make a time loop

glossy gazelle
#

Don't you just love how time travel screwed up the reasoning behind everything?

knotty birch
#

It made sense before duviri

glossy gazelle
#

What did Duviri get you lost with?

knotty birch
#

Mostly just the fact it doesn't seem to follow the passage of time

glossy gazelle
#

Well that's because Duviri isn't a real physical place...it's a dream of sorts

silk atlas
#

Duviri Paradox just happens along side the "main" timeline all the way up to act 2 of TNW

knotty birch
#

Yes

glossy gazelle
#

It's made from the Void itself, taking on a life unto itself.

silk atlas
#

Teshin did it accidentally and Albrecht (apparently) has a whole lab set up in there.

glossy gazelle
normal mountain
#

The Void is weird
Think it's best to just leave it at that
for the most part

knotty birch
#

The paradox is the fact that the drifter was able to influence things at different times due to the lack of normal passage of time

#

And influence ends up working both directions

silk atlas
#

It's exactly as real as Earth and Fortuna, that's the whole point of Conceptual Embodiment.

knotty birch
#

I found a comment on reddit that sums it up nicely

The Drifter escapes Duviri to help the Operator during New War. In return, the Operator sends warframes and weapons into the past so the Drifter can escape Duviri.

glossy gazelle
# silk atlas It's real, just that it's inside of the Void.

Unlike something like a planet though, it's maintained by the Void. It's a shadow of a story the Drifter knew as a child given form by the Void.
Unlike Earth and Fortuna for example, where you have dynamic characters, Duviri is a story...and then I remembered that there is lore indicating that Duviri does change over events...so yea ok I recant. You're right.

humble sierra
#

I think the Paradox of Duviri was that in order to help the Operator, Drifter needed the Operator’s help

knotty birch
#

Yes

glossy gazelle
knotty birch
#

Lotus' hand was from when it was cut off in TNW

glossy gazelle
#

However that was the catalyst that prompted the Drifter's journey out of apathy was it not?

knotty birch
#

I think so

silk atlas
#

Wish I remembered which stream this was from but the "Paradox" is nothing fancy

knotty birch
#

I don't understand how that's related to the twin paradox. Is it saying that the drifter is older because they didn't get void powers and subsequently stuck in a cryo pod?

#

Would they even have aged in divuri if it was looping?

feral cape

#

Don't stick your hands in peoples doorways

glossy gazelle
#

Maybe don't open doorways to other people's homes?

feral cape
#

He doesn't own the void hell the void didn't exist in any physical capacity before albretch entered it

#

There is literally nothing to call home

#

Also why love counters we don't know probably because the opposite of indifference is love

glossy gazelle
#

From a legal perspective the man in the wall does have some legit grievances.
Here he is minding his own businesses, vibing, then some arrogant guy barges in and when he tries to catch the intruder, he loses a finger for his troubles.

feral cape
#

He also steals all of the intruders memories copy's his appearance and taunts him with a childhood nickname

#

Also albretch gave the void physical form

glossy gazelle
#

When all you know is nothing, how can you learn to be something? You learn from what you experience.

normal mountain
feral cape
#

So wally wasn't minding his own business vibing because business didn't exist and neither did wally before albretch showed up

humble sierra
#

Albrecht likely even created the MITW because he was so scared of something terrifying in the Void, and the Void created something to be terrified of

normal mountain
#

Also, how the heck was he supposed to know that was wrong?
He didn't exist before then

glossy gazelle
#

Not to mention the Orokin went up and were like "Hey man we're gonna drive through your house to get somewhere else. Don't mind us."
Of course he's gonna mind, hence Zariman

feral cape
#

Right so he drives the adults specifically mad arms the children in return for something unknown and forces them to either die or kill there parents

#

If he was upset about people being there just blow up the ship problem solved

glossy gazelle
#

Adults, something he's already encountered. Arrogant, small minded, aggressive, violent. Amplified what they were.
Children, new odd. Gives them a defense but in the way an Orokin would because that's all Wally knows for now.

normal mountain
feral cape
glossy gazelle
normal mountain
#

And I think I'd want to inflict as much pain as I could

feral cape
#

Not aggressive and violent

#

Also drifter says wally did it because he was bored

glossy gazelle
#

Ok I'll drop the aggressive and violent, but still amping up what they already are would definitely result in very dangerous adults

feral cape
#

Also why does wally get to own the entire void

normal mountain
glossy gazelle
feral cape
glossy gazelle
#

Far as we know Wally owns the Void cause there's no one else there. He's the first manifestation, thus he's got dibs

normal mountain
feral cape
#

I think it's ridiculous to own an entire dimension

feral cape
glossy gazelle
#

And we have no indications of any further entities being created, aside from Wally.

#

This implies Wally is unique and singular. Bar minimum he owns the Void surrounding the Origin system.

normal mountain
feral cape
#

Also everything wally did in Duviri was to actually just harass the inhabitants

feral cape
lean garden
#

I dont know if presence equates to owning

glossy gazelle
feral cape
normal mountain
glossy gazelle
feral cape
#

No he has form now because albretch gave it to him bird 3 outlines this issue well

glossy gazelle
feral cape
#

Wally used to be nothing and when he's nothing there's nothing he can't be now he's something so he can't be anything

glossy gazelle
lean garden
normal mountain
#

I don't remember the exact story, but at one point he replaced the children in a school or classroom with void copies that were horribly rambunctious and giggled whenever the Void was mentioned

glossy gazelle
#

The Caves of Academe?

feral cape
#

And then, not long after the Rain of Chains, the first of the Hollow Children appeared.

They joined the others for class, sitting at the back, silent and attentive. Their eyes were a deep and lustrous black, their mouths fixed in a constant grin. None of the sages saw them enter or leave.

The Hollow Children did not speak, nor did they participate in class in any way, except to giggle unnervingly when the subject of the Void was mentioned.

When adults came to collect their children, they noticed an additional oddity. Among the Hollow Children were exact duplicates of themselves when they were younger. Each day there were more of them.

normal mountain
#

Think so

feral cape
#

He's actually just messing with the inhabitants because he's bored

feral cape
#

We turned on our heel and made for the Palace, where I gave Dominus Thrax the best account I could of what I had seen. On hearing that a single monstrous finger had burst up through the green sward, Thrax took terrible fright.

Despite my entreaties, he sacrificed the entire island before any more of the entity could emerge.
Also he did this

glossy gazelle
#

As said before, Duviri is based on a story, but also influenced by the emotions and memories of the Drifter

#

Sounds like the Drifter's own fears manifested into Thrax

lean garden
feral cape
#

That peace was shattered one morning as I drove my carriage there. I witnessed a vast form break up from the ground and clumsily probe the area around it.

I took the thing for a gigantic worm or slug, until one of my escorting Dax pointed out the colossal fingernail on its 'head'.
He mightve also done this

normal mountain
#

he also allegedly traumatized Sythel

glossy gazelle
lean garden
feral cape
lean garden
#

how then will you explain the chain event

#

Void Storms were not unknown in Duviri, but the storm I shall speak of was unlike others. It hung in a red veil across the sky. There was a great sound like tearing metal, and all at once a pelting rain fell. Not water, but broken metal chains, in lengths and coils and great rattling whipstrands.

The falling chains shattered roofs and windows, slashed through screaming livestock, and maimed the fools who had not come in from the streets.

I found Garmi's log in the toppled ruin of the lighthouse. With admirable presence of mind, he describes a form steadily approaching out of the Void. A monstrous hand, possessed of only three fingers and a thumb.

glossy gazelle
#

At the moment we don't have anything to correlate to the events aside from the chains breaking from Rell.
Which either means the classroom and or finger may be from the Drifter's fears. Or they could alternatively be Wally trying to dissolve some of his safe harbor.

feral cape
#

Why would stuff thats wallys mo be drifter

#

Especially when we know wally is in Duviri as the vagabond

lean garden
normal mountain
lean garden
#

Hell, we have the whole vagabond running about duviri

glossy gazelle
feral cape
#

Doppelgangering is literally wallys primary thing

lean garden
#

Regardless we've established that Wally has performed disruptive acts onto Duviri

feral cape
#

Also like wally has failed to in any capacity communicate with anyone to resolve his issues

glossy gazelle
#

Wally has no reference to communicate his feels

#

His primary reference was an Orokin

feral cape
#

Albrecht knows how to communicate feelings

lean garden
#

Albeit in some fancy poetic speak

#

might be where wally learnt how to yap like that

silk atlas
glossy gazelle
feral cape
#

He leaves a note very accurately describing how he feels regarding wallys action his fault in them and how he feels about deeling them

feral cape
normal mountain
feral cape
#

And why did they go mad

normal mountain
#

No real reason besides that

lean garden
#

Somethings watching us kiddo

feral cape
#

Wally made the parents go mad

glossy gazelle
# feral cape Why were the parents gonna kill the kids again

Multiple potential reasons:

  1. Revenge for encrouching on the Void
  2. Unable to cope with the Void itself
  3. Amplified state of being from Wally
  4. Being trapped and unable to proceed (Sailor's have had bouts of madness from the doldrums for example)
feral cape
#

Rell implies this and Drifter outright states it

glossy gazelle
#

Rell implies because he doesn't know for sure.
Drifter states it because he's become jaded and assumes.

But reality is we don't know everything

normal mountain
#

That's all we really know

#

Unless the Holdfasts say something else

glossy gazelle
normal mountain
#

That's an interesting thought

feral cape
#

Which is that it hit something in the void a vast emptiness of the void and they somehow just so happened to hit something

silk atlas
feral cape
#

On the same ship where wally drove the parents mad and made a vague deal with a child

lean garden
# glossy gazelle Multiple potential reasons: 1. Revenge for encrouching on the Void 2. Unable to...

Revenge for encroaching on the Void
Which still is causing the problem to be solved here
Unable to cope with the Void itself
Unlikely given the context of CoH, Rell's Webcomic and Drifter's KIM messages
Amplified state of being from Wally
Relies on the assumption of an aggressive and violent state of nature of almost every single adult, which already isnt even that likely.
Being trapped and unable to proceed (Sailor's have had bouts of madness from the doldrums for example)
Almost every adult had this, but not the children? Awfully targeted

normal mountain
feral cape
#

Because the rell comic said they do

normal mountain
#

Okay, I'll give you that
I haven't read that comic

glossy gazelle

But how do you know that what they hit was Wally?

#

Kids are mean

glossy gazelle
#

However I'd still say adults are more prone to cabin fever than kids who are grouped together.

normal mountain
lean garden
#

The narrative slant of CoH was that sometimes "void exposure" is just a cheeky bastard warping minds

#

because there was the whole bit of lotus going "ah Rell's just got void exposure, no biggie" and then palladino goes "the hell it aint" and you check and you go "oh caca it really aint just void exposure theres a whole goober in here"

lucid dagger
#

I hate when my doc says its just void exposure but its really a whole goober

feral cape
#

Also why would rell have to hold wally back if wally isn't trying to force himself into places wally shouldn't be

glossy gazelle
#

Because Rell is an Autistic kid who thinks he's doing it to help the others, and maybe Wally just wants his finger back

feral cape
#

Cause if wally is just grumpy about people entering the void then why try and shove yourself into the other place

glossy gazelle
#

As an Autistic myself, I know I can be selfish, selfless, and selfcentered at the same time, with no explanation

Wally definitely doesn't "just" want his finger because he was trying to reach for Entrati when he lost the finger

glossy gazelle
#

Just saying that the Rell comic doesn't indicate one way or another if they were traversing the Void or if they got stopped before going in.
So that big ol' crack could be them running into a Sentient ship at the other end. As another option

where we know that they were mid jump

CoH has rell tell his mom that theyre moving at impossible speed, meaning theyre already jumping

In which case they already made it into the Void, so it's either a problem in the Void or at the other end

# feral cape Wherss that outdated list from the cryptarchy

his current crimes include:
The crashing of the first ever interstellar colony ship, then causing a bulk of the adults to go insane and then arming their children with space magic to kill/capture their parents
The death of and torture of an autistic space magic child who was the only one who knew about him and thus contained him for millennia until you the player character is able to take over.
The destruction of multiple landmasses and physical and mental damage to the inhabitants of a land created from the mind of a child who was victim of the previously mentioned crash, except without the arming with magic

Wow that's outdated

lean garden
lucid dagger
#

wait are we talking about why did stuff go wrong in the Zariman? We already know why

lean garden
lucid dagger
#

that was the whole point of the Duviri storybook. It's actually a story about how to control your emotions and it was given to all the children so they would be able to control themselves in the void or else their emotions could cause anything to happen

#

thus when the Zariman suffered some kind of accident, they didn't just fix it and keep moving because everyone's emotions started running wild

#

and then the adults lost control and got all twisted and became Angels

do they? Kira didn't die did she?

oh wait no duh they were all dead at that point

lean garden
#

Like the only conceptual embodiment that resulted from the whole incident was duviri

but yeah wally gave the kids space magic but only after everything started going wrong tbf

like even without the void-magic kids the Zariman was still doomed

Anyways, I looked into the sentients, no indication on the wiki when they were made. Just that they were terraforming robots with a weakness to the Void itself.

They were made after multiple failed attempts to reach tau

I watched the ships one-by-one bending and gone. Each crammed with zero-tech soldiers sucking stale air, white knuckling their percussion rifles. Each filled with a desperation that comes from extinction. Our ship would be the last to cross the gap. Our ship had special cargo.

The punch came - and our windows became blinding. When we could see again our ship was somewhere else, shattered and dead in an instant.

My lungs were flattened, eyes full of death. Ship debris glittered like a night snow. The alien blue star was dark and blinding beyond us

Fast enough

#

Oh well, so much for the fat sentient theory.

#

Funny while it lasted.

#

Wait...the sentients arrived during the New War...that implies they rebuilt the solar rail...

No

I thought they just took the long way

The sentients were already here just in the outer terminus

Gotta be beggin that the Sentients on Tau only stayed because they didnt want to fight

Also chroma is a warframe that needs the most help.

he has 1 good ability that is outclassed by most things.

Yes...I'm awaiting when Pablo does Chroma's rework...
I'm theorizing make Chroma the eximus frame...give a good explanation then where they come from and make it a different elemental than Lavos

you have a invise ability.

Unfortunately I have the accuracy of a blind newt, so Cyte-09 doesn't work well for me.

Only thing holding my Chroma back is that he has only one good ability to work with.

You’re right, it’s extremely niche but when you consider the 1999 biosafe cache things give you 100k each…

#

I opened the vault, got 100k. I used Chroma, Effigy worked with me (200k). I bought a booster, it worked too (400k). Even the “First Mission of the Day” booster worked. (800k). Then I was lucky enough for my Loyal/Resourceful Retriever mod to kick in and double the initial, effigy’d Pickup (now 1.6M). If there was a Credit Booster weekend, and I was lucky enough to have all those other factors… 3.2M.

Oh, and i think you can get partial credit boosters from Relay Blessings too, which I believe stack with other credit boosters? I’m not good enough at math to figure out how much that could add.

If 1999 ever became an Omnia fissure area, the Legacyte Capture mission— and the Hellscrub missions— is “infinite”. After a couple of Relics, you get +25% Credit Booster. Just keep her going for a while, imagine how much that would be

i am now just thinking about all the people that talk about wanting "trials" (raids) back when no one played them. They where bad. like EDA is just raids but more intresting and good rewards.

To me it was a meme, hydroid was just a sad puddle.
Now he's a true pirate

Fear... is the greatest of faith. While our immortal vines have left us distant from our baser selves, consider our subjects:

Those who gaze upon our cloud-swept towers with simmering, violent envy, they hold still the old fears.

Depth and darkness... The windless embrace...

We will give to fear a form and yet none; a vague hydra, a lode monstrosity, surging from the unfathomable ...reminding them who their gods are. Hydroid.
~Ballas

Far as I can tell, Hydroid was designed for fear then

lucid dagger

Another fear frame
Nekros wasn't enough, huh?

glossy gazelle

Orokin did not seem to be against ruling through fear

Or perhaps using it to raise moral "Hey look at this guy, he's not fighting you, but your enemies!"

normal mountain

I mean there's multiple stories of Orokin using frames on citizens

Better than Chroma's...Chroma's only got two lines from Lotus:
"This is Chroma, an ancient legend, master of the elements.

When all the land is in ruins, Tenno, only Chroma will remain."

Hahaha...master of elements. Right, this was before Lavos...and sure I'd love for Chroma to have immortality but sadly Chroma does not.

it wasn't only "be glad he's on our side" but sometimes "obey or we'll send in this guy"

Why wally starts showing up in the orbiter as our operator right after chains of harrow? And whats the relation between wally and rell? I thought it was rell al this time the one to do that, also i thought it was rell the one sitting on top of wally at the end of tnw

quartz sky
#

Besides Rell being on the zariman and a Tenno, I think the story put them side by side to hint at Wally's struggle to understand humanity

Also from the wiki

Interestingly, according to Albrecht Entrati's notes, it was noted that The Indifference seemed to be the most interested with unique individuals.

also quite surprised you managed to clear it in 30 minutes

cuz i was lowkey expecting a new war esque quest, massive lore dump, etc

silk atlas

Yeah never expect something like that again. That was a super special case because it was the end of that specific arc.

worn basalt
lean garden
#

almost all playthroughs that are publicly available show that it takes around an hour (to an hour and a half) to complete

to do it in half the time is a feat

tnw was designed to be roughly 2hr30mins ish of playtime
reb stated that The Hex is about half that

god that was such a good quest

because they cant do the stealth section

wait a minute, the hex bomb goes off at new year eve, right?

# worn basalt im sorry i dont mean to be rude but is that for real

I was joking about what makes the difference between 2hrs30 and 6, but there legitmately was a guy who complained about the stealth section once, touted he had stopped playing warframe because everytime he logs on he was stuck on the stealth section. This was for months

#

it might even be a year now

I have since come to hate Narmer Deacons with extreme passion
Killing them in Archon Hunts gives me great satisfaction

we have a jaeger-sized warframe
thats pretty massive if you ask me

analog tinsel

I still feel the ending of 1999 is too obvious for what comes next

and DE is just saving it for a tenno-con reveal

so for anyone lamenting not getting something a la New War, good news I guess

if anything I kinda think 1999 is analogous to the sacrifice

I do kinda think the next arc will probably just be the void war itself tbh

restive river
restive river
#

We’re just as the start of it

analog tinsel
#

right, but like the "void war" quest

#

is probably coming

restive river
#

We’ve already been facing off against Wally and now we have his poison

analog tinsel
#

like the actual event itself

restive river
#

Who knows what will happen in Tau and what needs to be done prior to that

analog tinsel
#

kinda the only way I can interpret the post credit scene atm for 1999 tbh

restive river
#

Like to go to Tau we need to safely remove the Zariman
I’m sure there’s some Narmer stuff involved if Tau is gonna be important, and it is
And Duviri still exists as a bastion against Wally

analog tinsel
#

the giants albrecht built were more or less built for war, and now that the Kalymos sequence is complete, it might just be time for actual........war

restive river
#

Yes, iirc the vessels are for fighting Wally

#

Our main issue rn is gonna be actually getting to Tau

#

Also there’s finding out where the original finger is

#

And what we owe Wally

analog tinsel
#

I don't think we're going to Tau anytime soon, (Rebecca has even shot it down in interviews), but I think Tau might be the next arc, and we might have to go there as a consequence of this arc's ending

restive river
#

Rebb lied :p

analog tinsel
#

does Rebb usually Lie ScottStare

because like, that interview is 2ish years old

restive river
#

Like I doubt we’re going this year, there’s prep to be done

#

We have no idea how big Tau will be or what we’ll be facing

analog tinsel
#

but yeah, like my general point is just that, the previous arc was called the New War arc (iirc), and it obviously ended with a quest, literally of the New War itself

restive river
analog tinsel
#

we're definitely building up to a war, after the arc's namesake, but who knows if it'll be after 1999 or if there's one more quest beat

#

maybe a couple more

restive river
#

Again, there’s prep to be done

#

We don’t have any methods to go to Tau atm

#

Best we got is Yonta knows how to make the jump if we could do it again

#

Big problem being you can’t just unplug the Zariman

analog tinsel
#

if we actually are going to Tau, then yeah we definitely have a few more steps before then

restive river
#

We are going to Tau

analog tinsel
#

I'm just........not quite convinced yet, although when Albrecht mentioned Tau I lost it

restive river
#

Albrecht mentions Tau
The Hex mention us going to Tau
We’re going to Tau lol

#

I literally had a convo with Lettie about how ill have to go to Tau without her :p

#

That’s our next big stop for sure

analog tinsel
#

I do also think, there's an element to 1999 where, the Driftor has done his part, and it's kinda "mission complete" on his end, and now it's the operator's turn

#

I still kind of find it a shame that they didn't do much with Lotus in 1999

restive river
#

The Drifter will be going too though

#

They seem instrumental to fighting Wally

analog tinsel
#

oh he definitely will, but I imagine the next major plot beat will focus on the operator

restive river
#

Wally seems to not be able to copy the Drifter for whatever reason

lean garden

Watch Albrecht go to Tau and get killed instantly

Though Pazuul is far crazier than Hunhow

it would be sick to go to albrecht's lab post 1999 and she's just........not there anymore

I think it was only made to keep you up to date with events before the arc not stuff afterwards

my friend is referring to that bit in the 1999 tennocon demo, where you are in the railjack and it's like "meanwhile in the origin system"

restive river

Yes, thats how we go end our lich

I wish the Backrooms PC had the notes too

restive river

I assume whatever story quest we get as a follow up to 1999, will be Christmas of next year, so I'm gonna just sit back and hope we get a follow up to Jade Shadows

like this year sooner

I really doubt Tau is this year so that’d be nice
Though we also need whatever prep for Tau
Which may include what happened in Jade Shadows, who knows

the baby will get us to Tau

graceful swan

Everyone thinking we are going to Tau this update forget Albrecht could easily just be planning to go not actually going yet

restive river

:p

restive river
#

Not in 2025, I really doubt that

analog tinsel
#

I do think it would be awesome if Tau is.......more then just a tileset, I want it to be like a second origin system, with new planets, and eventually railjack incorporated in

#

so they can take their time on Tau

graceful swan
#

Albrecht only said it’s in sight not it’s coming next update

restive river
#

Also we need to somehow get Loid and Albrecht back together so they can kiss

I think anyone who thinks Tau is literally next is fooling themselves
There’s no way it is

analog tinsel
limber pulsar
#

even if going to tau is the next major story quest (probably not) it wont happen for a couple years, these kinds of updates take long to make, they were hyping up 1999 for like a year and a half

analog tinsel

yeah :/

graceful swan
#

Albrecht is just DE giving us a reason to actually go to Tau

analog tinsel
#

Rebecca: "Tau now in sight, releases when it's ready"

#

"leave us alone plz"

#

but yeah, it's just a weird spot we're in atm, obviously it's january so we're gonna get info soon, but, this might be the most in the dark warframe's immediate future has been?

graceful swan
#

Imagine Albrecht lands in Tau and just gets shot on sight

restive river
#

Like I’ve been saying, there’s a lot of in-universe prep for Tau too

analog tinsel
#

like in 2023, they announced whispers and simultaneously teased 1999

#

but post 1999 is ????

restive river
analog tinsel
#

aside from the in story beat of Tau, it's weird to genuinely have no idea what's dropping for warframe content this year lol.

graceful swan
#

1999 isn’t even over yet

analog tinsel
#

like we're getting technorot liches since they were delayed........there are rumors of what's potentially coming

#

and then operator rework being thought about

#

meanwhile: I just want rhino heirloom ScottStare

analog tinsel
limber pulsar
#

echoes of 1999 gonna be pretty big if it has the cut liches + a full update of its own that was originally planned

analog tinsel
#

there are rumors/leaks about what that full update that was originally planned could be, but I'm gonna assume we aren't allowed to talk about them in here lol

#

I imagine we're going to find out soon either way

#

we know they've already confirmed to expect one new protoframe in 2025 iirc.

I believe Rebecca confirmed that in an interview

graceful swan
#

We can’t talk about leaks here or the Unofficial server

analog tinsel
#

figured

#

but yeah, re the new protoframe, I kinda hope they do what they did with Quincy/Cyte-09 again

#

protoframe ------> new warframe

raw stone
#

So the protoframe became the warframe? Yeah... but then... is Cyte a Paradox?

analog tinsel
#

as for the latter bit, no idea lol

#

I really love how they did the initital 1999 protoframes, and how they picked out the warframes that they did for the protoframes

raw stone
#

I mean... yeah, between like the 8, you gotta do Excal, Volt, and Mag obvs. But then Nyx, Trin, and Cyte... Cyte obvs. The new frame.

analog tinsel
#

but with the next protoframe, I kinda want them to just go the protoframe becomes a warframe route again, just because imho, it would be a lot more interesting

raw stone
#

I haven't seen anything on the post new year's stuff...everything's speculation

analog tinsel
#

it is but I definitely recall Reb saying there would be a new protoframe in 2025

#

think she mentioned it in a video interview iirc

#

so I'm expecting that much at least

restive river
#

Cyte is not a paradox

#

There is no bootstrap in 1999

glossy mountain
#

As much as I like the Protoframe is feels weird to play as them

restive river
#

Rebb and Megan have mentioned them

analog tinsel
#

hypothetically if he was a paradox, I feel like the implication is that all of the warframes with protoframes are also a paradox

#

lol

restive river
glossy mountain
#

Wish there was a way to mix our Drifter with a frame to make our own Protoframe

limber pulsar
#

protoframes never literally become the original frame

analog tinsel
restive river
#

The timeline is
Ballas makes the Warframes
Albrecht uses that info and improves on it to make the Protos

restive river
analog tinsel

I'm expecting just one more tbh

restive river
restive river
glossy mountain
#

Hmm true

restive river
#

I imagine they’ll treat them similarly to deluxe and heirloom skins, more so heirloom
That being a special skin they do on occasion

analog tinsel
#

I just really love the "vibes" of 1999, and I'd love for it to get updated as part of the main game

restive river
#

The protos need a lot more time and effort as each one has an established personality and requires more writing and voice acting

analog tinsel
#

give it an open world or don't

restive river
#

I don’t think 1999 needs an open world

analog tinsel
#

I would like to at least see more modes incorporated into the tileset tbh

restive river
#

I’m glad they’ve moved away from that in favor of the hub and larger more explorable tilesets

analog tinsel
#

disrupted in 1999 when ScottStare

limber pulsar
#

warframe really doesnt need any more open worlds

restive river
#

I’d def love more 1999 gamemodes

restive river
analog tinsel

If we ever get a new open world it should be Tau
But thats about it tbh

but I'm very much fatigued of the open world stuff, so fair

just hoping echoes gives us a fun weekly grind like necracells

restive river
#

That’d be nice

#

I can see them updating 1999 further tbh, maybe expanding on the precursor Orokin, more on Hollvania and alt Earth

guys, i have an idea what if theres a new planet in warframe and its the black hole (i mean its not a planet but yeah) what do u guys think? wouldnt it be sick????

restive river
#

How would that work

#

You can’t stand on a black hole
You just fall in forever

river verge
#

iii dont know exactly but we are space ninjass what cant we do right

restive river
#

Also a black hole would disrupt the entire system :p

#

We’d need a lore explanation for how we can survive a black hole

river verge
#

yeah i havent thought about that

#

THAT WOULD BE COOL

restive river
#

It’d be cool
But not really feasible

river verge
#

tag the devs

restive river
#

Do not

river verge
#

HAHAHAA I MEAN NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE IN A GAME RIGHT

graceful swan
restive river
#

If the devs set limitations then yes some things are impossible

restive river
graceful swan
#

Even worse

restive river
#

I’d much prefer a black hole themed frame rather than an actual black hole

feral cape
#

Vauban uses a singularity

restive river
#

I’d also assume the void hole and a potential black hole frame are utilizing void tech to stabilize it

river verge
#

or maybe like a new universe? like similar planets but with differences?

restive river
#

What

river verge
#

like the planet that is very similar to earth (forgot the name)

restive river
#

Do you mean another star system?

graceful swan
#

I have heard people say Grendel can eat a universe

restive river
#

Cause that’d be Tau

river verge

#

oh whats that idk btw im a returning player (stopped in 2018) sooo i might not know a lot of stuff

feral cape
#

There's also the option of a black hole cosmology system

restive river
#

Tau is the potential next big location and the home of the sentients

feral cape
#

Black holes ar portals to other universes

restive river
#

Theoretically

river verge
#

ohhh btw i only reached the sacrfice main quest wise

restive river
#

You should play through the rest of the game lol

river verge
#

so i dont know anything about the end game stuffs

river verge
tall echo
#

Black holes would be hard to implement as a location or frame

restive river
#

Goodluck and have fun

limber pulsar
#

tau is based on a real life thing. a solar system with planets similar enough to earth we could probably live there with minimal teraforming, about 12 light years away

restive river
tall echo
#

There's not enough to build an entire frame around

feral cape
#

You could build a frame around mass

#

Have the ultimate move be a black hole

restive river
river verge
#

hmm what about an earth like planet but its a hollow planet

#

u guys ever heard about the hollow earth stuff

restive river
#

That’s

#

Not real

tall echo
#

Eris

river verge
#

yeahh its not but what if warframe has that

tall echo
#

Basically hollow in a way

river verge
#

oh dang ok

restive river
#

Deimos is kinda that judging by how big the labs are

tall echo
#

Eris is a completely infested... moon?

restive river
#

Eris is a moon yes

tall echo
restive river
tall echo
#

Probably a lot of void magic involved to make it take up less space

restive river
#

Mayhaps

#

Albrecht casually becoming the Doctor :p

And it was for a practical reason, they were running out of resources

Nah I'm kidding... that's an infested nest.

....except on the inside, where it's literally the Void HappyHyekka

#

Huh you know Albrecht reached Duviri from Deimos. Guess there IS a Hollow Earth in Warframe.

That's your only hallows.

Look at them. They come to this place when they know they are not pure. Tenno use the keys, but they are mere trespassers. Only I, Vor, know the true power of the Void. I was cut in half, destroyed, but through it's Janus Key, the Void called to me. It brought me here and here I was reborn. We cannot blame these creatures, they are being led by a false prophet, an impostor who knows not the secrets of the Void. Behold the Tenno, come to scavenge and desecrate this sacred realm. My brothers, did I not tell of this day? Did I not prophesize this moment? Now, I will stop them. Now I am changed, reborn through the energy of the Janus Key. Forever bound to the Void. Let it be known, if the Tenno want true salvation, they will lay down their arms, and wait for the baptism of my Janus key. It is time. I will teach these trespassers the redemptive power of my Janus key. They will learn it's simple truth. The Tenno are lost, and they will resist. But I, Vor, will cleanse this place of their impurity.

Can someone fill me in on the lore of Excalibur umbra

proper barn
zinc bronze
#

not even close

proper barn
#

then no

#

get to the sacrifice.

zinc bronze
#

Ok

proper barn
#

it literally is a lore quest about him.

#

Why do you ask?

zinc bronze
#

I'm just trying to get him and I want to so lore about him before I main umbra

proper barn
#

THE QUEST IS LORE ALL ABOUT HIM

#

I think you'll be pleased.

#

if you have any questions come back after.

zinc bronze
#

Ok

proper barn
#

how closer or far away are you from the sacrifice?

zinc bronze
#

I'm on Natah

proper barn
#

OH that isn't actually that far from the sacifice

#

but you haven't even done second dream.

#

Do second dream.

zinc bronze
#

Ok I will do that I just got to get to Neptune

#

Let my suffering continue again

woven coyote
#

Its gonna be worth it to wait until after the quests to get some explanations

gloomy anchor
#

So it's been a minute since I did Dante stuff, what was the connection between parvos and the levarian/dante

woven coyote
#

Think drusus needed to get relics to pay his debt so off we went to the labs
I think with some aid from loid who knew drusus and dante

gloomy anchor
#

Hmm so he was always a warframe

#

It doesn't really have an origin beyond that

#

From what I can find

#

It doesn't have the story of how Dante became a Warframe just that he wasn't one of the mad ones.

raw stone
#

Dante was likely a soul warframe. A term I'm keeping for frames with displayed sentience and autonomy. Jade for example is the most recent.

#

Soul Warframes being likely the original person as the warframe. Not an infested copy

#

Dante actually... doesn't have powers, I think. All his power manipulations directly stem from Noctua, the Void Book. So we have... never seen him use his warframe powers itself.

#

What we consider his "Warframe powers" is all the book.

#

I' GETTING SIDETRACKED. Anyway The whole Parvos/Dante/Drusus Thruple is that... Dante's Prex says it.

graceful swan
#

You saying infested copy makes it sound like the original was never infested

raw stone
#

Infested copy as in like... terminator-style.

#

The mindless copies, please.

#

Anyway, Dante visited the long-gone Entrati libraries presumably after Entrati sailed off to 1999, and when Loid was asleep. But likely... Dante used to visit as he is so tied to Loid and has a dedicated tile for him. Anyway, he visited the senile sanctum, encountered the enemies we encounter, heard voidtongue and got so stuck in the pot with its curling words. He yearned for knowledge and it gave him that promised desire. Noctua, the Void Book.

raw stone
#

It is... unsaid if he went mad actually, got destroyed, or something else, but Drusus laments that he didn't help Dante. Parvos also knows Voidtongue apparently.

feral cape
#

Jade and umbra are special cases

raw stone
#

mad as in insane, btw. Not legit hateful

#

Hmn. Well... darn.

feral cape
#

But the other frames that operate without a tenno are generation 1 frames Dante kullevero gen 1 rhino

raw stone
#

I dtill mean y'know. The original progenitor frame. Or something.

#

Anyway, find that Dante Prex in the Leverian exhibition for Dante.

#

why exactly did Albrecht choose 1999 out of every possible year he could’ve gone to

#

assuming he could choose

graceful swan
vital heath
#

the beginning of what

#

like Y2K or

north ferry
#

I thought there's an implication he had a fascination with the era? Like the computers around his labs.

#

Which doesn't make sense but hey, someone else probably knows better

vital heath
#

Honestly I thought that was the reverse with 1999 leaking into the anatomica after he went back in time

graceful swan
#

All is in readiness. Loid will do as he is bid, though his eyes silently plead with me to choose another path.

As I await my final crossing to the past, I ponder what role a scientist may play in so spiritual a matter as 'absolution'. How in the alchemy of the soul, even repentance must necessarily be a calculated task.

I will repair what I have broken, no more and no less. The scales must balance. And in such a monstrous penitence as this, I shall take no heed of the dust that may fall upon them on either side, the dust of petty lives.

The builders of old tempered their mortar with blood, to appease the most ancient of land-spirits. We should have been so wise. Yet it is not too late to learn.

The sands fall. The circuit completes. I return to the place of the beginning.

Let witless hordes bleat their disdain for every fervent plan;
The deal is done, the die is cast. I end as I began.

vital heath
#

what’s the beginning exactly

#

like the infestation with the grey strain??

woven coyote
#

No idea

#

Maybe we will clear it up as the arc continues

north ferry
#

Warframe vagueness? It may not be detailed enough yet in game and dangling our imagination as bait.

vital heath
#

More to ponder while I work

north ferry
#

Potentially it's the first place he went back in time?

#

Multiverse and timetravel weirdness.

#

Hmm, so when exactly does the Zariman return to the system? Is it in response to the void portal thingy that the operator and lotus' hand went into at he start of the new war? Wouldn't Ballas have torn the thing apart for loot if that was the case?
I'm trying to figure our the steps in the Drifter's path.

vital heath
#

Return when

#

Like when it ended its original journey?

lament stirrup
north ferry
#

It's not on the Star Map until after New War, unless somehow my memory is really screwy.

vital heath
#

Or when it re-appears in the system in the Albrecht membrane

vital heath
north ferry
#

I'm probably losing it.

hexed oxide
#

zariman appears after new war after angels of the zariman, did it too long ago to remember why it came back though

vital heath
#

We’re all losing it

hexed oxide
#

we are warframe players what do you expect

vital heath
#

born to destiny forced to warframe

limber pulsar
#

zariman reappeared cause the angels started being more active cause wally started being more active cause of ballas trying to open a portal

north ferry
#

The issue is the visit to the Zariman in New War as compared to the introduction of the Zariman in Angels gets confusing.

graceful swan
#

One was a loop thing the other wasn't

limber pulsar
#

you only go to the zariman in the new war as a memory

north ferry
#

Unless it's specifically the og Zariman being visited? The one that the tenno were from just in the void.
Except as I understand the Drifter entered Origin through the Zariman because it was stuck in the membrane.

graceful swan
#

The Zariman in TNW was loop stuff
Angels, we learn its actually been in the Void plugging a hole

vital heath
#

The drifter entered the origin because of the timeline divergence

limber pulsar
#

zariman has nothing to do with drifter leaving duviri

vital heath
#

I don’t know how j got here im just here to hang

#

bang.

proper barn
#

they enter cuz they get out of duviri.

lament stirrup
vital heath
#

send help I don’t remember anything

proper barn
#

also They have lotus's hand that we regrow her from @vital heath

vital heath
#

wait what

proper barn
#

Like the drifter litearlly has Lotus's hand and then in the new war you SEE that hand.

#

WE REGROW HER FROM A HAND

graceful swan
#

Why are you here to hang Bang Husky?

#

God it's hard to figure out this swear word

Natah

natah not Nathan

proper barn

Natah is like before the second dream.

vital heath
#

my autocorrect is on steroids

proper barn
#

why would Natah be how she gets back in the new war.

#

We see her get cut and then thrown into the void.
