Was gonna wonder if it’s really mitosis if no new fingers are actually generated (honestly reminds me of say shipping a product then receiving the same product later on)
eternalism and Untime means it being moved from point A to point B doesn't have to mean it's not still at point A
Ok that makes more sense
so the same one finger can appear to be multiple copies
hence why there are multiple reliquary drives
Pretty interesting idea tbh
while there only being one finger that was cut off from Wally
Yonta said Originals not Original
and Albrecht said Digits and not Digit
As much as he only shows one missing finger he can show up looking however he wants
it also might have multiple copies cuz of the void and it might up replicate itself.
it wouldn't be out of the question.
it is a void finger that grew giant and is now being used to hyper space jump i feel anything is possible.
<@&778745217037238293> 
Probably a bot scam link or server
When will the android version will release?
Anytime between now and 2035
Clearly it will release in 3520
So whos the most likely next prime? Protea?
yeah probably, then Xaku after that
since the next actually female frame who could be paired with Protea is Yareli, who's two male frames away anyways
so order is most likely Protea -> Xaku -> Sevagoth -> Lavos -> Yareli
so upcoming Prime weapons will be goated
Quassus Prime, Epitaph Prime, Cedo Prime
plus whatever miscellaneous weapon gets Primed alongside them
still hoping for Daikyu Prime and Okina Prime
Honestly the real weapons that need to be primed are the ||stug prime (kuva stug when)|| and the proboscis cernos since we always need more cernos weapons
Stug is a Grineer weapon, so it won't get a prime
only Tenno weapons get primes
only exceptions would be like Phantasma Prime and Venato Prime who are both Sentient weapons, but they are Warframes signature weapons
I still REALLY want an infested lich system on deimos
Infested liches are confirmed to be coming
But different than the others. No ship battles. Gotta go deep into ancient infested tunnels below
we don't know when or how they'll work exactly tho
Yeah there aren't infested Empyrean missions rn, so unless they add one for those it'll have to be something different
if they do add it, I guess Eris Proxima could be a possibility
.... am I soft locked because I don t have the railgun "front artillery" ...?
you can make some in your RJ if you are out.
oh nvm, didnt realize what front artillery actually was
yeah there's the piloting turrets, the ordnance (alt fire on piloting turrets), the gunnery turrets, and the front artillery
then there's also more turrets further back the railjack but
Kinda hate archwing and railjack tbh so id prefer something on ground but tru they could always make eris proxima
A man is allowed hope nick
Still
tbh a stug shooting pure Kuva would be insanely powerful lore-wise
Gotta pray that’s what happens
Would love to finally realize the true power of the stug
I mean not particularly
It's not like kuva is particularly hot or reactive
It makes the queens lichs immortal and gives them powers
And let's me gamble my heart away
Why was Wally emotional if we didn’t do the right thing in his eyes with the Kuva? It’s not like we needed it
Seeing Albrecht’s fit and the old pc’s in this game is the craziest and most unexpected thing to me
Spoiler
Well a PC from 1999
And his fit is like faux 1999 which is hilarious.
Make em gamblers
Kuva stug change: every shot is now a droplet of kuva that can instantly make the enemy drop enormous sums of credits or somehow transmute them into a glorified angry cloud of kuva that can be shot by operator for a minor explosion (can you tell that I may or may not have gone insane)
not gonna lie , kompressa prime will be goated too
I actually like the lich system. However if they make more they should do something different this time. And with a bit more randomized challenge. It is a bit repetitive at times doing the same thing over and over and if you are farming for max % weapons then the liches abilities themselves are repetitive cause you just use the same frame over and over. So making some random challenges would be nice or some environmental puzzles
yeah true
Wdym, in War Within? Kuva has Void-connections, so that short time of us having it (regardless of our choice) gave him the chance to contact us despite Rell and Harrow still restraining him
wasn't rell already gone? is chains of harrow before war within?
War Within is before Chains of Harrow
Rell had to forgo his human body and humanity, becoming one with Harrow
he basically permanently and fully Transferred to Harrow
nah he ||died||
he "died"
you can read that at the computer recap in sanctum
he fully died and passed on at the end of the quest
yea that is what i mean
but i thought chains of harrow was before the war within
during the quest and before it he was still "alive" per se
no, Chains of Harrow is right before Apostasy prologue
so i wouldn't make sense for wally to still be contained by rell so i was just confusion but i understand now
Second Dream -> War Withing -> Chains of Harrow -> Apostasy Prologue -> The Sacrifice
yea sry was just confusion
you can technically make a link between wally being active enough to take down rell with us meddling with the kuva
Wally got much more freedom to act after Harrow and Rell's seal on him were removed. He contacts the Operator in the Origin System more, and he influences Duviri more
I like to stay neutral
I did, back then I chose both black and white choices, now I'm a dedicated middle chooser 
I cant remember what option it was, I just picked the middle one always
middle for Kuva was to control it
white was destroy, black was to consume
i am also neutral but come on i had to chose to drink it i wanted to know what would happen
yea neutral was to just keep the kuva
yeah since I chose white and black options back then, I ended up basically fully neutral even before I dedicated to it
Heresy
wally contacts you all the same
yeah, what exactly he says differs slightly based on your choice
but it all comes down to reminding us he's still there
you can still see it no? there is a sort of bar under your icon that shows the precentage of dark/light. so if you where completely neutral the bar is in the middle but even if you chose one option off the bar is slightly off middle
our memories being recovered, and the proximity to Kuva, let him properly get in touch with us
but the icon is neutral
yes. That's what I meant by saying I ended up basically fully neutral
ah like that
Same here
Sacrifice onwards I am a dedicated neutral path
neutral path has the best choice 90% of the time anyways
i really wanted to name my rabbit Lua but i had to chose terra );
Doesn't even matter. The name tag above it just says "Rabbit" after the quest regardless of your choice
wut really?
yep
i think that is just a bug i swear i see Terra above mine
I wish that nametag did change, and maybe even Teshin actually said its chosen name instead of just "our trusted ally" when grabbing the Orvius
You weren’t a neutral path always?
not always, but my mix of black/white choices early on made my overall standing basically fully neutral anyways
also damnit Terra is the best name for the rabbit of caerbannog
Eh well it counts
I mean, so far the actual choices don't really
only one that somewhat does so far is the final choice in TNW, and even then it only changes their displayed name (so far)
And customization choices (I pity anyone who chose margulis and lived to regret it)
True, choosing Margulis just feels like legit wrong
Lotus is the most moral choice imo. It's who she chose to be, it doesn't force her to be tied to her past or what others wanted of her
I chose Lotus but put on Margulis skin
Counterpoint: booba
Lotus radiant is the best skin for her anyways
Counterpoint: you can still get booba if you pick lotus
Lotus prime
We gotta wait for lotus umbra lol
The whole quest was Lotus in Umbra levels of stress
You think she ever gets a vacation?
I wanna see her actually do powerful stuff, since even beyond her innate power she also has the three archon shards, and whatever power Ballas had beyond that
Well she kinda made the man in the wall stop ig assuming it wasn’t just futile
Yeah when she went on Holiday with the Sentients
Seems more to me like he disappeared on his own, appeared just to show us what he can access now
That wasn’t a holiday that’s a tax break
Kinda fair even though lotus did see something we didn’t
Her response about seeing him after is odd tho. Either she knows more about him than she's letting on (possibly saw him during the Void trip from Tau?) or he appeared as something else to her
Probably both
Lotus Man in the Wall is not real Natah The Man in the Wall is real I saw him
The only way is she either spills the beans on it or we find a way to view what she saw during that whole escapade
I barely understood that tbh
She does know a lot about Void's effect on humans by virtue of having some of Margulis' knowledge
and by cartaking for the Tenno
Probably not as much as albrecht but yeah true
Wait Ik this will sound wierd but what if we tried to do transferance to lotus but not the take over her body style but the same way we did umbra
yeah Albrecht probably has the most actual theoretical knowledge on it, while we have more practical experience and direct connection to it
Would we be able to see her memory of it there?
well, considering we are Void, and she is a Sentient...
She sent lua to the void perfectly fine
and Wally could probably meddle with those memories appear to us
Fair but it’s a chance
She pressed a button
She was basically stranded and locked in her chamber then, hence why she could actually physically reach us at the end of Second Dream
In the void..
Lua was the Orokin capital, it's pretty safe to assume it has the top-notch Void tech and Void insulation
She was in a box protected from the void damage
cause we know she was stuck in her chamber, and her chamber is on Lua
yeah her chamber might have some form of Albrecht Membrane
insulating it from Void
That would make sense
Still you would think the void would still get through after generations of being stuck in the void but the chamber could have more defenses against the void
it might've originally been built like that to ensure that the Tenno's Void stuff didn't affect the rest of Lua back when Margulis had them
Do you think she got hurt when we dropped it?
Possibly, yeah
She doesn't appear very physically adept when we see her in Second Dream
and we know that she's really physically strong, even among other Sentients
cause even as an only semi-restored Eidolon, she easily broke through the entire Narmer fleet and the Murex Sentient foot-soldiers
might've been made that strong by Hunhow in case she had her cover blown while infiltrating them
Considering she’s his daughter I’d assume so
yeah
That or the fragments we face are just that weak
Which would be the scarier one as that would suggest that there still is a good chance we get bodied hard by one but let’s assume lotus is just insanely strong
I mean I assume the Sentients on Tau are much stronger than the straggling survivors left in the Origin system
Yeah but let’s just hope it isn’t natah destroys fleets strong
Much stronger maybe but there’s no competition
We'll have to see til the eventual singularity where we actually see a Tau planet. Maybe.
Probably not.
Rebb said it’s not where the story is heading
Ah.
There’s no real reason for us to go there plus if we left Grineer and Corpus would start destroying the Origin System we might not even have powers there
wouldnt be, theyre two different universes
Aah could always dream
If arthur doesnt get a glaive at some point in 1999 i will riot probably
Why would he? he’s not Hayden Tenno
Yet
He never was
Warframe isn’t in the Dark sector universe
That’s why Arthur isn’t using Hayden’s Excalibur suit
My guy arthur and hayden arnt similar
Excalibur
"FINE" she like can't replicate anymore and she was like mindwiped to be lotus i feel like "FINE" isn;t the right word.
idk cuz Hunhow was still afriad of like the Orokin empires counter attacks. Like he destoryed the solar rail to tau in the orogin system for a reason.
I don't think we are ever going to Tau ever but I do think the like 3rd Orb boss fight will be like Pazuul going "WITH THIS ORB I WILL USE ITS ENERGY TO RESTART THE SOLAR RAIL TO TAU" and then we will stop him .
I meant In her years of being stuck in lua which was in the void at the time but o k
- that is a extremely rude reply to an objective fact
- you are failing to prove any real links between arthur and hayden, and saying "excalibur" does nothing to prove your point at all.
Hell I’d say that here it’s a benefit rather then an insult
Yea and one of my special interests is warframe lore so i know you're wrong.
Revenent
Limbo
Gara
Yareli
Loki
Grendel
Sevagoth
Harrow
well at least we now know what Otak was before glassing
A male Suda
Oh damn he was an Archimedean before… well what happened to him
Probably whatever you see is wrong with him now
Fair
hey at least he still works with crystals
Still a sad fate for an Archimedean to become well what he is now (didn’t realize you were you for a sec due to pfp lol)
:p
Old pfp was better ngl
I’d agree but eh it’s his choice
Maybe seeing otak's fate is what motivated suda
Either that or otak was a quirky archimedean, the fake idiot savant
it’s a pair pfp i have with someone else so it’s better for me :p
i wonder what otak did to end up a cephalon
Probably the same as suda, but too late
it was probably a punishment if you ask me
cause he did end up as a servant
while suda was still an archivist in a sense
Too late as in his mind got borked. Knowing the entrati they might have taken him in
i thought he was like that because he entered NecraLoid’s body too late
so i just finished Chains of Harrow and got a mail from Palladino "An offering of Gratitude"
but there's no attached or said offering in the mail? Is it supposed to be like that
check if you got a harrow blueprint
Yea. I did get that
tada that was the attachment
was hoping for something more xd
There is something more you unlocked
You get access to iron wake with new mods and a decoration
Really though you go for the donda then never return until you remember riven slivers exist and gotta spend them all
I go there to buy the rivens wait for someone to want a veiled riven then sell it
Rivens aren’t really as important as people make them out to be
Got duped by one of the flawed mods. Didn't realize it was slightly worse than the one I already have.
I think... that's a little patronizing.
Otak is still like... there. He's very knowledgeable.
But is he what he could have been? Is he not algernon? Is he not a genius trapped in the recesses of a damaged mind?
He's not getting worse, that's the point of being a Cephalon
I just finished the Kalymos sequence, and there is one thing that makes me so curious that I can't sleep...
Dose the Japanese-like guy in 1999 are the Excalibur that before transform?
They are a turning into a full Warframe
And he's obviously not the first excalibur or else he'd be prime
Well no because some were Primed first and others earned it
I personally believe Excalibur was Prime first but there’s nothing determining who was and who wasn’t
I thought it was confirmed in stream that Arthur is the very first Excalibur
Oh shi
Which stream?
No, because Albrecht turned Arthur into a warframe following Ballas' designs. Excalibur was the first (Orokin) warframe, so he had to exist first for Albrecht to copy.
And the girl he was talking to over comms (forgot her name) is Mag because you can hear her using the abilities
Arthur was Albrechts first Warframe
We're is volt?!?
Is this a time travel situation? Ballas wasn't alive in 1999 to copy
He was alive in 1999
Ballas made the warframes during the Old War. Excalibur was the first. Albrecht went back to 1999 after those warframes were made, and used Ballas' process to treat the victims of the Great Plague
We definitely don't know that
The year 1999
What source? That was eons before the events of the game
No volt got it
Yeah, again, we don't know that at all
There’s no actual Warframe timeline of dates
Can you tell me where this info is from? I haven't found it yet
No I mean Ballas
I’m tired lol
Excalibur's Codex entry and Albrecht's Notes about the Vessels
You get them from fighting whispers
Defeat a Mocking or Scathing Whisper and it has a 50% chance to drop a lore entry. You can read them all here: https://www.orokinarchives.com/albrechts-notes
Not a 100% drop chance but it’s pretty high drop chance
Oh... ahaha that explains it. I can't fight whispers. Never will
Gray gives you the info if you’re lazy
Whispers can be tough, both to find and to fight. Not necessarily lazy.
Thank you Gray
Gray is there any lore you don’t have on the website?
You should also look them up on YouTube. Hearing it in Albrecht's voice is perfection. Stefan Rudnicki is my fave voice actor in the game so far (sorry Max Howarth)
Lots, but small stuff people aren't likely to search. Working on it though!
Gray I might’ve been hearing things but did Yonta say something about the fingers I’ve been trying to find the quote
Main things missing from the Orokin Archives: some Lotus mission dialogue (Hijack, etc), Fortuna bounty dialogue (there's actually tons of it), and Codex descriptions of most things. Also the Styanax anime.
Yup. Angels of the Zariman quest
her name AOI
Knew I wasn’t hearing things I must’ve went past it each time I looked
There's also this line from Whispers in the Walls with a bit more info
Only happens once during the quest
Mind explaining this in simple terms?
hahaha honestly the Void is what I understand the least. I think it basically means the Man in the Wall is forced to follow logical timelines and can't jump around to wherever and whenever he wants to. StallordD's video goes a lot into this, though it's just his personal interpretation of it. https://youtu.be/dpwLhr1Xdrs
A re-telling of the events of Albrecht's first encounter with the Void, his efforts in defeating the Indifference, his journey to 1999, and his gambit with the Kalymos sequence. Further, a brief summary of The Whispers in the Walls quest, and the events shortly after with the Cavia syndicate, as well as some short speculation about 1999 itself. ...
(long video btw)
I mean him not being allowed to jump round kinda makes sense being assumed to be trapped in the wall aka the void
If I could time travel to modify the little joke of a shard I made to make a new benefit instead of one of the others I had I would lol
Alright, so I have a question about the Conk Creet Macrowave, Qorvex. Given that Qorvex is a warframe, Ballas had at least a hand in his creation, but Qorvex’ flavor text says that he was designed by Albrecht. Is it possible that Albrecht and Ballas collaborated to make Qorvex?
Who does max voice?
Ballas
Albrecht found ballas anatomical perfection of warframes useful and took helminth for himself
Making both the vessels and qorvex
Ah
True
I’m trying to find where Albrecht draws the line in terms of ethics. From what we’ve seen and heard from him, he seems to be not as immoral by today’s standards as some of the Orokin we’ve met(Ballas, Nihil) or heard about(Tuvul)
Ballas was uninvolved with qorvex
Albrecht was copying what Ballas was doing but trying to do his own thing with the deimos gray strain
The big golems are also basically warframes
I was under the assumption that the Deimos Gray Strain was used to make the vessels, while Qorvex was made using the Helminth strain
It's not specifically that qorvex was made with the Grey strain but he's so different from other frames because he's made entirely by albrecht
He was probably made before the grey strain was even on Deimos fully
Albrecht probably made it same time as the War
Whatever is necessary
With the exception of harm befalling lord
Albrecht made him specifically for us
Granted it is definetly a unique one with a I guess more cost efficient design in terms of flesh used
It’s less then the usual warframe which has a whole body where as qorvex (assuming the black ‘‘skeleton’ is technorganic in nature) has less used overall
and that’s probably due to the crucible core and whatever the hell albrecht out in him to allow the concrete to float and act as armor and the rest of the coverings for qorvex
You can see the freaky flesh in the Vessels.
In some tiles.
literally infested
yes, and Albrecht left for 1999 during the Old War, which could've been before the Bio-bomb went off
i mean all of the labs are tottaly untouched by infestation.
The labs are far enough underground and were sealed
Also the infested doesn’t like the void, it’s afraid of it, so it would actively avoid the labs
The strain he used being the only exception, but that’s different
Xaku exists
What does that have to do with the labs?
Xaku uses the helminth strain, so does the vessels, the strain itself doesn’t like the void but it interacts with it since all Warframes are void powered
Xaku’s also from the void expeditions, which were not in the labs
Fair point
How many strains are there
Grey strain
Helminth Strain
Technocyte
Probably more I’m forgetting
Technocyte is the mutalist one right?
i thougt he was mad at me? (post WITW)
no that's it's own strain.
also we know a hivemind exists explictly now.
cuz of the like recap PC.
Aren’t Vome and Fass different? Or were they just a sub-strain from the grey?
Vome and Fass are probably just 2 Infested part of one of the many strains
they are both the grey strain even said to be sibilings.
Ik they were siblings, thought I saw they were theorized to be different strains
gotcha.
Message relevant to convo in #lore-discussion
I wonder if Alad is gonna show up in Dante Unbound given that Parvos shows up
Heck, I’d even take it if Alad is tangentially mentioned in passing
Here’s the cycle, he enters deal with a faction that most certainly isn’t working towards his interests, (sometimes forcefully and sometimes he’s just being a moron) he runs afoul of the people he made the deal with or he suffers from what he made, Tenno have to bail him out either forcefully or not (or just make the investment that bad to pursue: key case being the zanuka project)
Alad v the v isn't Roman numerals
That's the joke
We should start calling him alad 5
I've alot of people thinking the v is Roman numerals
And that alad v clones himself
For some reason I keep thinking of a version of the song "For Narmer" where they sing the line "We the Narmer, We the Nameless" am I the only one
What even is narmer
Ballas and Co faction
Soon enough we Gon get sentient liches and their stuff is narmer gear
Ballas VRchat group
That'd actually be sick
Any ideas on what they'll be called?
My bet is its any variation of zealot
If I may, is there a chronology to Alad’s continuous habit of walking onto metaphorical rakes and getting hit in the face?
Many
Infested, sentients, sentients again
So far I have
Alad torches Grineer Corpus relations, setting the system on fire ->
Alad messes with Tenno tech, creating Zanuka, which caused Lotus to send assassination squads after him forever ->
Alad tried to tame the Infested, gets Infested himself ->
Tries to mess with Tyl Regor’s cloning juice to cure Infestation, ends up with a pink scar on his cheek ->
During Second Dream, Alad temporarily assists the Tenno in finding Hunhow, the one choice Alad has made that didn’t immediately lead to his misfortune ->
(Could be anywhere) The acolytes start to bully Alad ->
Alad lays low for a few years while Nef Anyo takes the spotlight, causing Alad to lose favor with the Board ->
Alad stumbles into a partnership with the sentients, making Amalgam Tech ->
Alad then cashes in the Tenno owing him a favor to kill the Ropalolyst ->
The Wolf Of Saturn Six tracks down Alad, Alad then juices Wolf with sentient tech, and then Wolf breaks free ->
During the New War, Alad sells out the system to the Sentients starting with the Proxy Grid ->
Current day, unknown whereabouts
Dante unbound -> Alad finds out about the entrati labs and hides inside
This is almost all accurate (very impressive honestly). A couple small corrections:
-Alad got kicked off the Board right when he started messing with Infested. Frohd Bek (Chairman of the Board) tried to kill him, Alad fought back with Infested, then the Tenno seemingly killed him (The Hunt for Alad V event). After his first "death" his Board seat was vacated. Then there's all that stuff with the Infested and Mutalist strains, ending with Alad curing himself with the Tenno's help as you've described.
-Alad cashed in his Second Dream favour to get the Tenno to fight off the Acolytes, which happened like right after TSD came out. Alad only had his favour for like a month or two, if my memory serves.
-At some point post-TSD, Alad rejoins the Corpus (this is never really explained) and rebuilds his Gas City on Jupiter.
-Alad V doesn't cash in his favour to get rid of the Ropalolyst (he already used it up); the Tenno were just there to kill the thing and Alad helped cause he also hates it.
Alad 5 should really start messing around with more stuff I want more content
Any character needs to be doing more.
What is happening in Fortuna? Is there anything interesting going on other than heist and orb mothers? What about Cetus? Any big eidolon threats emerging lately? What about Vor? We already killed him 3 times. Tyl rigor? Vent kids? Grandmother? Quills? Steel meridian? All the other syndicates?
We never heard of them again
Most of them don't have anything doing or it's the same thing they're always doing
The only present unknown thing is the third Orb Mother and what Pazuul is doing
I would just like for DE to go back to some of those characters and do something fun with them
Right Pazuul. We got him and then we forget him cause the man in the wall is invading.
Which I mean I get it. Otherwise the whole universe dies.
We haven't forgot, we're actively combating his plan. We just don't know what it is yet
I think Orb Vallis has a clue
Why would anything big with the eidolon happen
It's been dead for seemingly hundreds of years
Yea but fragments spawn continously. So maybe some other stronger fragment can suddenly spawn?
Gram gram literally had dagaths lore
Vor is currently in cahoots with wally
Vent kids are just children
If we see vor suddenly in the Deimos labs I am gonna eat my shoe
Having major events with the quills would be very out or character for them
There supposed to unnoticed and act small
There the masters of causality
They know better than anyone a tiny pebble could cause a landslide
We've also moved past the old factions as overarching threats
The only one from the old factions who could poses us issue who is alad v and his ability to be on everyone's team and parvos granuum
Kasual Kangz
What?
Uhhh elaborate?
interesting
Do you know what The Plains of Duviri book is for?
||it's to explain goes to deal with being exposed to the Void and how any extreme emotion makes conceptual embodiment happen||
Also we have all the answers for these logged on Orokin archives.
Not necessarily
Given that the quills are assumed to exist in all the timelines, they could be involved in the 1999 stuff tbh
Uhhhhhh
Well, the Quills may exist in all timelines, but that doesn't mean they exist at all points in all timelines
I don't know that we've ever seen time-travelling abilities from the Quills
Time travel has not really been seen at all outside of 1) whatever Albrecht managed to do and 2) the Spy vaults on Lua (which isn't purposeful)
Although there are other instances of time being weird, none of it is time travel per se
They can't go back in time lmao.
A question about the Quills, what are their origins? Were they basically a priest caste of the Ostrons that then spiraled into a shadowy network of individuals who all seem to know what’s gonna happen next? They seem to have a special interest in Sentient tech, even reaching out to Solaris rail agents just to extract one corpus goober and collaborating with Solaris United to get the ball rolling in killing the Profit Taker
They are Chosen by the Unum.
They are unum agents that are doing things to make everything go according to the best timeline and doing the unums bidding. Also seemingly the seeing Timelines thing is a ability the unum gives to people. The unum can also like go into anyone's mind. We don't know the range on that but we see it happen to Mask Child ans also ourselves in the new war.
Also every Quill we know of didn't get captured during the new war.
About the seeing different timelines bit, can this be looped back to being able to observe different points on the strand of Khra?
probably.
And the process of becoming a quill is entirely random/dependent on what the Unum decides to do with you?
We don't know the extent of the Unums abilites but we know why Onkko did what he did cuz it turned out better for the one he loved.
we don't know. Seemingly so?
The Unum can see timelines and at least show others the timelines maybe even give them the ability to also see them and She can like do TIMESTOP like we see in the New war.
also she has the power of being gay with Gara.
Ah, so the quills exist entirely to serve the Unum and it just so happens that the Unum’s “goals” mostly line up with the Tenno’s goals?
yes.
The one thing I’m still curious about is the Quill’s fascination and adeptness with Sentient tech
She also Like i said was a Tenno ally during the old war and even like was with Gara her love during the fall.
part of that is Unum like what she did in the old war was fight the Whole Version of the Eidolon with Gara.
she is like Old or older than the old war.
she is probably the Tenno's oldest Ally.
also the Amps and things are made of Sentient parts and stuff cuz like it's a good void conductor lmao.
like how the human body is a good electricy conductor.
They have access to a whole bunch of Sentient bones, and the knowledge of what to do with them. That's basically it.
I mean like i said the Unum also fought Sentients actually after the Orokin Fell.
Well yeah but that doesn't necessarily mean you're skilled with Sentient tech. It just means you're good at fighting.
So the process of becoming a Quill is that one day you’re walking around and suddenly the Unum talks to you and gives you exclusively the knowledge you need to know for your role in the Unum’s plan, and for some Quills that just so happens to be being able to view select points in a given Strand Of Khra?
That seems to be it? We don't have a whole lot of insight. Onkko was working on the history of the Ostrons and the Plains, so he may have had contact with the Unum over a period of time and 'slowly' became a Quill, so to speak. But again we don't know.
seems so or at least she shows them some of the strands.
but yeah I would really like to know more about the Unum. Like the section in the New War was so cool and made me want to know more.
which i think is the correct way to do lore and just games and whatever it's better to have people wanting more than not.
The Unum will also speak to others, non-Quills. Sometimes she may show you your future, or just a random riddle. She chooses who to speak to. People show up and throw piles of money at her and only receive silence.
yeah.
people also call her the Wall i guess.
we see her talk to us and mask girl like i said.
Oh you mean Nakak
Reckon nakak will grow up ti be a quill?
yeah.
hmmm probably not. probably a leader though like Konzu.
Could be. She doesn't seem too happy with that idea though.
Nakak: "Is that why the Unum chose me for this? Thanks for the nightmares! Glad that's over. If you need me, I'll be under Nana's blanket with a flask of hot chimurr."
I did always find it weird that Konzu chose Nakak to be the Operational Supply vendor
yeah.
If I had to wager a guess, it’s probably the fact that Nakak is immediately friendly with outsiders
That could be it. But she's also just a (seemingly unsupervised?) child
True
I forgot until now just how much cool lore there is with the Ostrons. Thanks, chat
A meta answer is that DE probably needed the Plague Star Op Supply vendor to be a vendor that usually doesn’t have a lot going on, and Nakak apparently fills that role
True
I was a bit disappointed in how few the Cavia were, and how there weren't that many activities to do with them. Same with the Holdfasts before them. I really liked how Cetus and Fortuna had a big group of vendors all with their own stuff going on. I think DE received the opposite feedback from most players, though, and wanted to simplify things. Sad.
But these days I don't check in with Fibonacci much*, I don't see Bird 3 at all, I check with Loid to trade Voca and maybe once in a blue moon to dissolve my Arcanes, and I see Tagfer exactly 5 times a week.
*I actually do see Fibonacci all the time, but that's for record-keeping purposes, not gameplay
You have the entire website practically duct tapped do your head but fair
Haha
You mean voca not plumes
yup
Is the drifter connected to the operator in any way
Yes and no
They are same person but in different time line
One is save from the Zarimen ship while the other is abandoned
nodders.
also the drifter is the one that finds Lotus' Hand in duviri and brings it back to the real WOrld and thus we get Flower lotus and then she regrows lmao.
Ok I haven't reached that part
What part are you at?
Also if you played the Duviri quest you know everything except the flower part.
They're the same person
From what I can tell
Warframe doesn't really function on direct "parallel timelines/multiverses" as directly as a lot of other media does
Drifter is a product of your deal with the man in the wall wally got rid of a whole bunch of you (infinite -2) for reasons but kept Drifter because 4d cheating
I mean warframes cosmology is just a textbook tegmark type 3 multiverse
Which is what most media uses for a multiverse
it appears to me that since the Zariman that returned with the Tenno was fully pristine and clearly somehow "different" from the one that left, the Drifter is the "us" that was left on the "original" Zariman which would later return with the Holdfasts
Or rather wally got rid of everyone but you and then because 4d cheating brought Drifter back
Unrealized Drifter and then utilizing the zariman to re realize him
Or better known as many worlds multiverse
yeah Wally seems to have some level of precognition, like how he showed us Ballas and such before the New War cause he knew Ballas would become desperate and open Void gates
Well yea he has precog
More referring to the other Zariman children, since they also got Void powers
He's 4d he can swim in whatever direction on the river of time
So just like go 5 minutes foward and 5 minutes back and now you know the next 5 minutes
drifter wasnt them
I can save all of them, I didnt say I'd save you
I do wonder if "the direction we cannot point to" is like directly the Void or some other abstract afterlife
The existence of wfs eternalism seems to mean that our universe is inherently deterministic
All events are predetermined to happen as they are
That can refer to both Drifter and Operator
He didn’t say he would save either
What's the rest of the context?
Because events do not happen linearly in an order, they all happen together
except only one of them was objectively counted as saved lmao
It could be the thing I just learned about
it's mentioned by Liches about where they went before being revived by the Kuva, and Nora mentions it when talking about people who've passed away
"It is a sunless place, in a direction you cannot point to"
"Gods and ghosts, looking on from a place we cannot point to"
Hmmm
I'm leaning towards a 4th secret basis vector rather than just metaphorical jumbo
It seems to be at least Void connected, since Kuva could bring the Liches back from it, and Requiem mods can be used to sever their connection to it
Metaphors arnt my thing
This means this place is to us is what 3d is to 2d
The drifter and Operators timelines are also werid cuz it seems the mitw like destoryed all our verisons of us except the drifter and operator. @tropic venture
also also
the Unum can see timelines
why can she and what are her powers? WE DONT KNOW. she has TIME POWERS AND CAN BE IN PEOPLES HEADS?
SHE WAS GAY WITH GARA? that's all we know.
the Unum's "temple Kuva" is also blue, not red
no
they have both we haven't seen blue since the story.
I wish I was a warrior girl with an omnipotent psychic gf
also the Quills are the most successful faction in warframe.
Omniscient
they didn't even get caught by Narmer.
we don't know. She is seeminly very very powerful.
ah yeah, I mix them up sometimes
The Quills and thus the unum being behind everything is very funny though.
not even the tenno can prevent and make things happen like the Quills and their opretives can.
yeah, they're really playing 4D chess
i love how little duck is like "Sup need some help?" during the new war lmao.
She helped a random stranger
yeah, I meant how the "Temple Kuva" we see in TNW is blue, which is the only time we've directly seen blue Kuva in-game
a random, weirdly familiar-looking stranger
well, she does notice Drifter being similar
She has Quill contacts and Onkko knows its us even when e are the Drifter.
Does Lotus know her kid got a brother?
"Say, you weren't in with the Tenno back in the day, were you?"
"Something like that"
we had no siblings, only-child
Does Lotus know there’s a new taller kid?
well, yes, Drifter interacted with her in TNW
...did your friend play it for you or something?
Some characters seem to not know
yes, Konzu at first just worries how long he's been veiled
"Ai-yo... has it been so long?"
but why would Lotus not know
Her attacking the Drifter is the climax right before Drifter and Operator get fully linked again, giving Drifter the Void powers
and Drifter/Operator talk to her as one at the end of TNW
I love the Drifter calling Lotus "Lady" lmao.
Also the Lotus was with the Drifter in Duviri.
yeah, that's what the Guiding hand is
As a hand but the Drifter is the one that like found her and she helped then escape and the Drifter nurses her back to health.
Cuz that's what you do to like a hand that helped you escape a hell dimension I guess.
yeah, Ballas chopped of Lotus' hand, then stabs Operator, "You can't kill the Devil, Tenno. But you can send it back to Hell."
Drifter's execution is interrupted by them being stabbed by an ethereal Paracesis, and a voice echoes "You can't kill the Devil...", and in comes crashing Lotus' hand
The operator is trapped in the Void. Which is a funny way to deal with us.
I assume Teshin helped us, since he dropped into Duviri at the same time as Lotus did (but he arrived much much before she did)
yeah, like, Ballas knows the Tenno can't really die, so he's just locking them away
hence why he's so pissed when he notices they're somehow back
yeah, his control over everyone else doesn't matter to him, cause he believes they all "wanted" that control deep-down anyways
Somehow Tenno has returned
(Seeing Kaithe) They ride now?
They ride now.
not the only starfish related thing in the quest giving the face hugging mind control devices
lul
THEY ALWAYS RODE
well our warframe did princess-carry us in The Second Dream
we also have had k-drives for a while.
Dargyn
do archwings count?
Yes
well we don't really ride them per se
ok I really shouldn't make a joke about the word choice of stretch here considering the subject
of riding? what would- oh
Archwings are us becoming Buzz Lightyear successfully
How did such swings in conversation equal to… this
I'm not at the New war and I just started the prequel to war
yeah Duviri is available really early but it was released after TNW and is "meant" to be played after it
Well I didn't know that
Not really. They were experimenting with it as an alternative beginning for new players.
Are there any interesting differences in how tnw plays out depending on whether you pick the operator or the drifter?
Duviri is set before TNW they can be played interchangeably tho
Only dialogue wise, the main plot points of TNW play out the exact same
You forgot drifter tripping when he first enters the wf while operator flexes hard
Drifter gets the amp
Ah k
And all transference powers the operator had equipped
Drifter gets trippy in a Warframe
Operator sees it as a cool suit
The new war is a fever dream to me.
Dying to some Orokin prick, then sent to a Ship that seems familiar. Before meeting taller me, having a drink and suddenly teleported back to Warframe.
And taller me had to go through an entirely different game of horses, guns and dual swords. Then trying to save the world by removing Dream Masks off from people and avoiding floating ghosts with stupidly unpredictable detection. Just to feed a dying mom rock candy.
All while barely escaping Alive with a Bow from a spine from a giant space crab robot with a dark Excalibur with a scythe.
Just to stop a orokin who took over the world with a stupid red circles and stole the last jolly rancher in Warframe.
The last jolly rancher
Ok well when you say it like that it kinda sounds like a acid trip but I assure you it definetly makes more sense then just all of a sudden you lost
Oh no! Lemme pull out my pristine jolly rancher straight out of the dark abyss of the average New York couch
For operator me: it was an mild inconvenience to die and get sent to a zairman ship while waiting for the respawn timer to tick down.
For drifter me: everything happens to try to save the world, and collect the three jolly ranchers to save space mom.
And then of course our little friend shows up to hand mum her electric bill
This is why Balls-a cannot be permitted to throw portals
Ok let’s just conveniently forget grandma eating the sun
"I should've stayed in Duviri"
-Drifter
At least Vay Hek can laugh since he technically got his wish of seeing the lotus into the sun
Nah to hand her her notice that’s she’s due in court for child abandonment and for not paying child support
Hmmmm Both, both is good
i can help me for obtain on wu kong?
sorry if I said it wrong, I don't know much English
go to #1197322290166251680
better advice as this is spoiler chat
Even though you were directed to go to #1197322290166251680 , the answer you seek is that you’re going to want to be in a clan that has Wukong researched. Most clans should have Wukong fully researched. And as for his Prime, you’re gonna have to wait for him to show up in Prime Resurgence: )
That… that pretty much sums it up
Have you played Duviri?
I want another drifter quest
Cause we have no context to the things happening in duviri and the things happening in TNW
Like how did they get there
In duviri they know nothing and in TNw they know everything
They are in Duviri cuz they never got rescued.
Like you know how the operator got Rescued cuz the Zariman came out of the void?
That never happened to the Drifter.
@sacred flint also the Duviri quest while not explicitly saying the Lotus hand is like how we got back lotus after lotus and the operator where thrown into the Void. Like the Drifter gets out of the Void and is found by Ordis then the part of the new war where we Play as the Drifter happens.
Nah I know why they are in duviri
I was just asking how they came from duviri to TNW
Like how did they get to that point
Drifter stuck in Duviri, The Duviri Paradox quest happens, they leave, ??????, their part in TNW starts.
That's what we've got
yeah
They got to Origin via the Zariman, since it's technically there as well as in Duviri
Teshin maybe helped them with getting Natah too, since he knows her since before
esa boca, you can’t swear here
I hope we get more stalker info in future "dlc"/updates
Wait how come he gets to avoid loid lol
It appears I now know which language to abuse
lol

I assure you I will not be abusing this knowledge
Loid only knows one language confirmed
Doing new war quest When am I going to get my Tenno back ???
Them ballas music be crazy
well, carry on with the quest and youll find out
Aight aight
You might not want them back
He lacks skill and sucks but we already know that
Yes
The Quest while New War is happening
And ironically we saved operator me and also saved drifter me also
It's a weird paradox
It's like Curing Cancer with Cancer
One second balls cuts off hands from space mom.
Another second should do a cutaway of the hand landing in duviri like a meteor
Why did discord send me a notification about people talking about language abuse here? lol
Because they want to let you know it’s against the rules without telling you
Ah I see.
YouTube thinks Warframe is Destiny
Finally beat the wolf archon 😭😭😭
Haha… ignore it
Nira serpent archon is ez
It has a big headshot hitbox
Honestly for me I’d say boreal or amar is the easiest (well I fought boreal as drifter but amar suffered the warframe deletion experience)
How?
The info for a vid said Destiny 2 on a Warframe video
The vid mightve mentioned d2
I’ve seen times where a halo vid is listed in YouTube as guild wars 2… it’s not too surprising to assume that
I saw a splatoon 3 video where it thought it was disney infinity-
The algorithm truly knows nothing
Friend just finished New War
He said he was distracted by "his clone on the wall, laughing"
And I said "yeah, the clone, let's use that for simplicity's sake for now"
Has anyone else stumbled across this? It looks like one of loids phone-thingys. Its ringing constantly but I cant figure out a way to interact with it and pick up the call 🤔 Its laying on the ground in the "outside" area in sanctum anatomica
Pambo, how old are you
the text on its been translated already, its just saying appointment dec 1999
That's not what they're asking Bau
defo late gen z
But yes, we've all stumbled onto it
I'm doing this little thing where I skip to the bit of whats special about the thing
nope
Definitely not
Thanks, very interesting.
I'm not gonna bother responding to the rest 🤷
Go look down
but have you looked up tho
I did^
you mean the globe? Or the silhouettes in the clouds?
I’m fairly certain even that part of the generation can tell what a flip phone is
sir that is a pager
….. ok welp fair enough loid
Welp my memory is getting these days
Yea so I didnt even see a pager in use in my life and Im one of the earlier gen Z, meaning anyone past me most likely has never seen one
Tbf I have. 2000
In use? Because I've seen pagers, just that by the time I was old enough to say the word itself they were effectively obsolete
TBF you don't need to have been born when X technology was in use to know what it was, there are tons of examples of older technology used in various forms of media that people still enjoy today, like Warframe for example!
what in the world is a pager
It's basically a device that can only send and receive simple text messages. Some pagers only receive messages and can't send. In the old days you'd page someone a phone number (like a nearby pay phone) and they'd go find a phone and call you at that number. That's how you'd communicate when you're out and about before cell phones.
Yeah the function of text messaging is done by normal phones these days. Pagers use a different networks than cell networks though, so they can be more reliable, which is why hospitals, emergency services, and the like continue to use them for critical messaging.
i see
ARCHON SHARD BOOSTER PACKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Submitting my request!!!!!!!!!
Huh?
ARCHON SHARD IN BIO
Tf
I mean in March we are getting the 3 Normal shards makes a Tau thing.
LMAO
If "booster packs" means a lootbox you buy with Platinum, I would say I'm against that
Tauforged
Yep.
Ah yes time to steal another grey archon shard (it’s too funny to let go for me)
They changed it from 4 to 3??
This is amazing 
Yep. It was in the um last dev stream.
I assume it was a common piece of feedback.
Also DE has now put in both Ways I thought they could fix Shards and fighting Archons isn't annoying anymore. @balmy storm
So like everything is coming up Millhouse.
Lmao.
I just I remember all the problems I had with Archon Hunts when they first came out and how I said like "it's still really good I just want these fixes" and even before this update comes out we have literally all of the fixes I wanted and then now this update will give me also my original idea for hos to fix Taus. Cuz I thought they could do like the Pity System or Trade 3 normals for Tau and now we will have both lmao.
I love this game 
I’m happy my new player friends will have an easier time than I did when they get to the Archons
As they should be
They aren’t “end game” anymore and since they were a weekly thing they shoulda been normal bosses anyway
@balmy storm oh did you see the game mode Pablo showed in the dev stream?
I did not
Cuz that feels like endgame content tbh.
I was eepin during the stream unfortunately
Deep Archimedea?
Oh it's a thing he's been working on for like 2 years?
WHAT
Yeah.
Ah that
I saw it was more difficult with guaranteed legendary arcanes
And you get to pick the difficulty so you build your own endgame
Well lemme explain: basically there’s three high level missions but here’s the twist: you can’t swap weapons or anything between mission as you have to play them back to back
Also you get a specific like choice of frames.

People have suggested something like this for a long time tbh.
Certain frames and weapons give more research points which determines the reward and it costs 2 keys of necravault to play
now if they could just remove slots…
Oh right and it’s unlocked at r5 cavia
Yee
The closest we got to like say a dungeon or raid rn
Hell idr if it’s sp or not
Play Caliban with nothin but the Stug for the best rewards 
But I do know know that the rewards are amazing with a guaranteed arcane iirc
I saw it’s level 300+ I think?
But with added modifiers to make it even more difficult so basically sp
One: you get three items from each slot that can have extra points
But yeah this kind of game mode has been suggested before
And two: Calvin’s is useless but stug is inmortal
As like a endgame thing to do.
We are so done for
I couldn’t think of a bad primary or melee
Uh
Ghoulsaw 
Three missions with the one loadout you went in with
Stug Incarnon when (it doesn’t change)
Cronus
I built that thing by accident recently
Ye who lacks faith; all know that when it’s holiness arrives RNGESUS shall bestow us a fraction of the strength that comes with the left hand weapon of RNGESUS
Oh also the Inaros rework looks good. It is inaros but better.
Yeah it sucks badly
And with a better passive that does something.
Meanwhile Caliban being forgotten as it should be
I saw!
I like how they’re just giving him Sevagoth’s passive but lesser and punch only
Yeah.
Caliban rework whenever we go to Tau (never)
Not even then
Since Caliban is the bastard child of a paperclip and a ball pen that was dropped down the stairs accidentally and received medical care in Nicaragua, he will never be useful
Caliban actually pulled a big brain move, by adapting to be the worst frame NOBODY will play him and thus his survivability increases 100000%
Until he realizes that it makes him the target of the helminth users and 100% players
Oh right and recycling plants
He misplayed oopsie
It doesn’t help that’s he’s a bastard (as In fatherless)
So question, what exactly are the acolytes? Are they literally just edgy tenno that support the stalker, is there more to it, or is it to be revealed at a later date?
We don't know much about the Stalker and we know less about the acolytes.
Perfect.
There's an entire system full of people who hate or dislike the tenno, easy recruiting ground for the Stalker. Whom we know enough about.
well, seeing as how Stalker was originally a part of the "low guard" and he has an Excalibur model, the helmet + colours might just be what the Low Guards warframes' "uniform", so the ones who follow him thus adopt that look too
I'd just love an actual dlc focused on stalker I know it'll happen eventually because he seems so interesting
Any sort of info on what Hunhow and Shadow are doing post-TNW would be great
Did new war stalker was quite a small part
If we do get a quest, then even if we don't get a fully playable Stalker, they could make it so the Stalker "lich-esque" revive during TNW is a permanent thing
you can play as stalker in duviri btw
I know
alr
which is why many people want a full-time playable stalker if we get a quest about him
If they do he'd need a better move set the one he's got is just not unique
yeah his current is all slightly altered versions of existing abilities
well "current", it's what he's always had
I do like how the showcase videos show him using them on other warframes instead of normal enemies
Most of his current abilities are just upgraded versions of existing abilities, like getting 300% crit boosted while invisible. More than anything, I want to scan the original stalker since it's not available post Second Dream.
yeah, only way to get him after TSD is to have someone pre-TSD in your squad get him
I want to imagine the coolest fight in Warframe:
Three Tenno vs All 3 Archons at the same place.
And all 3 Archons are at their Showdown version, not the neutered quest version
Rhino Prime, Mag Prime and Loki Prime VS All 3 Archons
"Does head replacement nerfs the frames that holds the head?"
No. Also Archon Hunts are now for normal people. Well it's still a harder fight but they just don't have the annoying DR now. They still have DR but you can just chunk um down with literally any weapon.
@torpid lantern hey
Tagfer Plush is officially up after the Bird 3 Thing and the Fib Plush both got funded. @torpid lantern I thought you might wanna know.
The 3 little guys.
Why tf does the bird 3 plush looks like he ate too much one day
Loid Plushie
While I prefer tagfer the best of all cavia (bird 3 is equal but tagfer seems the most human) bird 3 has the better plush
I’d take the necraloid plus as I fear loid plush is too cursed
lul
Hell tagfer plus looks like a regular person sitting wierdly with no pants and a shirt if you forget the head
And the fish is just god awful
Mr Tagfer
Fish-a-gnocci
Bird 3 (the sequel)
Mr. Loid
Necraloid: Loid Jr.
Mr Loid vs Loid Jr.
Somehow Necraloid managed to suppress Otak of all things in the entire quest
Otherwise I wonder how did Necraloid managed to hide Otak away from the entire Entrati lab?
Not suppress the Void Being werid made Otak sleep for a While basically.
There where a Lotta like pre release like "teasers" that had lore stuff in it. They where all Nova Broadcasts. One was miners being taken over by the void and all mining towards Deimos one was Latrxo And how the infestation was adapting to try to be ignored by the Void and the last one was Loid talking about Otak Had Gone Silent. @fiery surge
Makes sense
I think they are all still on the site
@fiery surge Here are the 3 of um order if you want them
Idk I’d say loid wins
Imagine Necraloid using a necramech body 
he just summons the power of the british or necramites
Is there a lore reason why the helminth won't let me in while I'm in operator/drifter form I do own the helminth
do you have the helminth segment from Diemos? also it's cuz your frame is made of helminth so it opens for them. also if you don't have the Diemos Helminth segment only nidus and frames effected with the like tumor can go in.
you can go in when the door is opened by your frame and the helminth will have unique dialog. it calls you a demon and then when you get the segment it like says "I MADE A DEAL WITH THIS DEMON" like you feed it and lets you use its powers.
I know I own it
Also thanks for the explanation it makes sense and I can just let my operator in bit meh who uses operator when there in there orbiter
You can use Drifter
they have the same reaction. i just still say operator lmao.
you just got get the frame close so they door is open
I know that I was wearing drifter in the first screen shot
Helminth sees us as demons
Orokin sees us as demons
What's next, they're going to make a connection that wally is their equivalent of Satan?
But he is
Albrecht demon too
a new warframe player entering a chat asking where the anvil is and getting answered with this article eventually goes clinically insane after 5 hours of reading the whole page in one go
This guy counts as spoilers. Is umbra the best warframe for railjack defense since he stays sentient while you nechramech
On Railjack section it before?
I did railjack I just had to go back to my camp also is hind good?
Imo it is
Helminth sees as a food provider
@worthy walrus Lotus is a sentient, Natah, who was sent to the Sol System to infiltrate the Tenno and betray them. She did not do this.
This was revealed to us in the quest Natah
still confused
she has a dad who is bad?
yes, Hunhow, who we met in Natah also
yuivero don't click on this
|| was it also revealed that hunhow was only using the sword to speak through and it's not actually him? or is that later on ||
@pallid plover
i just want confirmation before i tell yui
Hunhow is most definitely not the sword lmao
i remeber being confused the first time i played it
yeah
I mean
he kinda was. it was a Piece of him.
there are a lot of pieces of him.
are you your toe?
he tends to get around
we get Lotus's arm and then regrow her from her arm.
doesnt work like that
like Is she not her?
are you your mouth? or do you just speak through it?
I am not a Starfish like sentients are.
them being a starfish doesnt change that hunhow is not the sword
space starfish
the sword is part of him but his is not the sword
what do we say about ||Lotus's Arm we regrow her from ||then?
Non-comparison
Unless you give me eidolon hunhow's right butt cheek and regrow him from there, I dont think comparing War to the actual arm of the main body sentient is valid
The Stalker's sword as bestowed to him by the Sentient Hunhow.
Additionally this is War's description, so like, I dont think we can even call it a major/significant part of hunhow
he popped a pimple and the sword came out
wonder what "VOULL NE XATA VOK, MARA LOHK?" means
something something truth something, void child
Mara is not confirmed to translate into child
no, but it may as well be a good placeholder
Tagfer yells it at you to get your attention, so anything that describes the operator is a good placeholder
child, demon, whatever
which is why Im extremely hesitant to label it under child nor demon
I'm the opposite lol
because there are still many other descriptors that fit not only the operator but also the Drifter
like demon and child, because even when you grow up you're still a kid to somebody
Wally still calls you kid even when you're the Drifter
it could mean demon, it could mean child, it could mean manifestation, there are many descriptors that fit the Operator/Drifter, that is why I am far from comfortable
because he's copying your dad, of which both op and drifter have the same one
he's not calling you kiddo because youre a child, he's calling your kiddo because your dad called you kiddo
the same way he called albrecht little bengel
it's been a long time since I played wherever we hear the Operator's father, I'm gonna assume Second Dream
yep
assumed he called us kiddo because he is infinitely older than us
no he's really just copying your dad
he's scrolled your brain and found that one endearing nickname
but just because he's mimicking the Operator's father doesn't mean he's not calling you "void kid" when speaking in Void tongue
but it also means that using "he's called us kiddo" is not evidence for it
no it means none of it's evidence either way in your way of thinking
because that wouldnt apply to tagfer, who is staring at a warframe and not a child
the Cavia animals knew what a Tenno was
which brings us back to why I think its not comfortable to attach a word to Mara yet
and I still disagree, so... 🤷
I mean like feel free, just know that we both agree that you dont have sufficient evidence to determine the meaning of mara beyond "might be referring to operator/drifter"
and we both agree you don't have sufficient evidence to completely dismiss it, glad we're agreed
the problem here is that our stances are very different. You need to prove that thats what mara means, because theres no meaning attached to it. You have insufficient evidence to even attempt that. My stance is that we have insufficient evidence to determine a meaning.
I dont need to prove that it doesnt mean mara, but you need to prove it, which you cant
I'm not saying it doesnt mean child, Im saying you cannot prove it
but I'm not trying to prove it, nor do I want to. I'm fine with using it as a placeholder that makes sense, when we know Wally is asking a question thanks to subtitles, and it's a 50/50 that it has to be some kind of descriptor/name.
gonna pretend for now he's asking, "??? truth, void child?" and I'm gonna keep assuming mara means child because of Tagfer hollering it at us, because he and Fishonachi and I maybe even Bird 3 knew what a Tenno was, and I'm pretty sure they weren't in the room when NecraLoid told Loid-Loid that we're Tenno, which Loid still had no idea what that was, he was literally in stasis
I dont know if they even know what the Tenno actually is
because none of them were around to type out the stuff on the computer
Loid most likely knew of warframes, since he was the one who was liasing research on Archon Shards, which yknow, part of the thing was in a warframe, and his boo, literally designed the Vessel out of the helminth and gray strain
And knowing that basic foot soldiers have heard rumours of the tenno, but only then conflating that with the warframe
I dont think Loid, or the Cavia were immediately aware of the "this is a child" thing
Loid definitely didn't know. I think the Cavia did, considering they were literally in the Void where either the void itself or Wally was the one to mess with them. They probably picked up more than just the ability to have PTSD.
I think the Cavia did, considering they were literally in the Void where either the void itself or Wally was the one to mess with them.
But why would this let them know there is a child controling the frame from a great distance away?
Why wouldn't it? You have noticed the ridiculous amount of weird crap that happens to anyone and anything exposed directly to the Void, yes? Why wouldn't they have gained knowledge about other things? Why was Fishonacci so sure Wally didn't want them to be able to speak? Presumably he's still trying to shut them up/take over the lab, even after Fibonacci was able to tattle on Loid over the final piece of the grimoire. Why isn't knowledge of the Tenno, someone who's also had direct contact with the void, something they could have been given when they were changed too?
The cavia are conteptually embodied the same way in which the holdfasts are right
no
The cavia are still using their original bodies, very similar to us
but unlike us, they've died, like the holdfasts
That's an appeal to ignorance
that's me putting a guess to what "mara" means based on evidence that "mara lohk" is likely a name in void tongue to refer to the Operator/Drifter, given to them by Wally, and also used by Tagfer
Why wouldn't it? You have noticed the ridiculous amount of weird crap that happens to anyone and anything exposed directly to the Void, yes? Why wouldn't they have gained knowledge about other things?
Because out of all the previous cases of "void exposure" sudden innate knowledge of another void touched being has never been seen before. All the weird stuff has happened, all those people exposed and made out of the void and none of them have displayed such intimate knowledge of the tenno before. Not even the holdfasts, who only knew us because they rescued the Drifter/Operator after the drive knocked out our transference, and that we were also from the zariman
Why was Fishonacci so sure Wally didn't want them to be able to speak? Presumably he's still trying to shut them up/take over the lab, even after Fibonacci was able to tattle on Loid over the final piece of the grimoire.

I dont see the comparison between "Fib stating a possible event where the Murmur take over the labs and subsequent results" versus "suddenly gaining intimate and innate knowledge of the tenno"
Fib can easily reason what might happen if the Murmur reach them in the Sanctum, something that within the area where he goes "Allow me to boil this down for you: should the Indifference's corrupting touch reach us and take back our speech? We would be screwed." he also mentions, shown in "Arousing as I'm sure this is for you, the rest of us are moments away from an extinction grim, black, and FINAL! So. If you would be so kind. Finish up. So I can point you toward that sodding page."
furthermore, The cavia, and thus fib, are fully aware that Wally gave them speech, and thus fib would understandably be very worried if Wally's goons came around and removed that "gift" from fib, something that the yapper evidently doesnt want
Saying "well you can't prove me wrong" as evidence is an appeal to ignorance
Flying spaghetti monster
without precedence, and without the sharpness of occams razor, I dont find it convincing to believe that the Cavia would know that the Tenno are specifically Children because they somehow gained that knowledge because Wally made them smart enough to understand him
They literally cannot tell me I'm wrong. It's ALL speculation until we get more confirmed translations, which is the point of discussion of context clues and other hints given. It's to have fun guessing. Wally is asking some kind of question when he says, "Voull ne TRUTH vok, mara VOID?" It's not out of the realm of possibility that "mara lohk" is a name for the Operator/Drifter. We're literally a void child. He calls us kiddo (even if he's just mimicking our father). Tagfer yells it at us to get our attention. That's why I think it means "child", and it doesn't matter if someone else doesn't agree, because all it is is some guesswork based on a few other context clues until the writers finally fill it in some more for us.
Mind you I have never told you that you were wrong
You've sure been coming across that way, regardless.
I mean, I apologize if thats what you got, but if you look back at:
Mara is not confirmed to translate into child
not much backing to it
same goes for thinking Mara translates to demon
which is why Im extremely hesitant to label it under child nor demon
because there are still many other descriptors that fit not only the operator but also the Drifter
but it also means that using "he's called us kiddo" is not evidence for it
which brings us back to why I think its not comfortable to attach a word to Mara yet
I'm not saying it doesnt mean child, Im saying you cannot prove it
None of these say "Youre wrong about it being child"
I'm right because you can not prove I'm wrong
I don't think I was ever trying to say I'm 100% right either, so why would I need to prove anything. I said I think it's fine to use it as a placeholder for the meaning of "mara".
Now in the distance between the earth and the sun there is a teapot belonging to a Mr Russell it is so small not even the hubble telescope could find it
Tell me do I have to provide some evidence that the teapot exists or does someone have to prove it doesn't
You know what, yeah. Gimme some evidence, bud.
But you don't have evidence I'm wrong
After all the teapot is to small to ever be located
I don't have evidence you're right either. Tada.
But I know it's there somehow
I think what happened is that you thought I was denying the possibility that Mara meant child or something more definitive, which very clearly based on all my responses I wasnt. However, in your defence of your stance that you are comfortable with attaching a definite meaning, you've transformed my "It could mean any descriptor of the Op/Drifter" into "it cannot mean child" which again, I've never said. To which you then attempted to defend that with "You cant prove it doesnt mean that" to which I never attempted to, all I did was indicate that you cant prove that it has a definite meaning. If you want to give a placeholder by all means go ahead, the only issue is that many others havent been using it as a placeholder, but rather a definite meaning, which might result in others not seeing it as a placeholder but rather a concrete meaning even if you decided to make it a placeholder
That aside, stating that there is no evidence to prove a point wrong, thus making the point plausible or correct, is the textbook definition of the appeal to ignorance fallicy, which Im sure you didnt intend to make.
No, I was just outright stating there's no evidence to prove "child" is an incorrect translation. Because there isn't. Just like there's none to prove what it actually is. There's literally none. It's all speculation.
Which is my point, and to why I hesitate to even give it a placeholder, something you dont agree with
I don't, because when you're speculating, you have to guess.
stating there's no evidence to prove "child" is an incorrect translation.
But this is still an appeal to ignorance
None of the both of us called for proof that it was incorrect
You literally told me at one point that I had to prove it. Maybe I misunderstood.
which is fair, but that wasnt made clear at the very beginning when H4ZRD wondered what it meant, until I stated that there was no confirmation on translation
I said you had to prove that Mara definitively translated into something definitive, which is different from proving that it doesnt translate into the same something definitive
because one is the normal burden of proof shtick and the other runs straight into appeal to ignorance
We could have stopped after I clarified that I use it as a placeholder then, because if that's all your issue was, H4ZRD was perfectly capable of reading that it was just a placeholder/guess
We transited into discussing about whether a placeholder is a good idea, thats why we didnt stop
Lore discussion doesn’t end topics we continue them
Can't Mara also be a voidtongue word for Tenno?
Yes sorta
The next warframe is Vergil prime 🗣️
Many names in warframe have multiple meanings especially Orokin names.
Many of the Orokin names we have heard we know they have another meaning especially the one the Family Gives us Ayatan.
So the chance that "Mara" has a double meaning is not unlikely especially when we have the Mara Detron.
Mara Detron is that a gun?
For reference it can be aquired from the zanuka field boss, siding with corpus in invasions and baro when he feels like it
Baro has the Mara.
Regular is from Harvester,
Win and you get the Detron parts.
Lose and uhh, Imagine the Profit trailer (PS4 Warframe trailer) but Lotus managed to remove the restraints and Alad V is off to make some salad
Alad V is off to make some salad 😂
his 5th one so far
It's been there in devstreams, dev build, ever since ESO was first shown. Nothing new, just not released into the public build.
