TAU 2026
The content of the 2025 and maybe 2026 update happens at the same time as 1999
Drifter time travels to 1999, operator hunts memories of the olden times/goes to Tau
They're both jump off points from lotus eaters
Now that is what I want to listen.
Also helps stalker somewhere during that
Tell us more.
We don't know more
Tau wasn't "made". It's a star system (or planet depending on how you interpret the KIM chats) that the Sentients were sent to.
Yea that explains it.
Based on the stars it's probably Sirius
Could just be both
Tau is usually colloquially used with system
It's a star system
We're just likely going to a single planet
đ I wonder so drifter finished his nightmare. Now operator turn to go for that one.
The only person to call Tau a planet never actually got to the System
Maybe zariman is the bridge between those places or deimos necralisk
Where they used that big teleport .
Or not
It's probably going to be Pazuul rebuilding the Tau rail honestly
Drifter went through three nightmares
Heard rumblings of rebuilding the rail, yeah
Wait pazuul was lotus brother right.
The thing piloting him now is pazuul yes
So Ballas controlled them all
Ballas is a master manipulator
Not.. technically?? He certainly MANIPULATED them though
-# Couldn't manipulate his lover tho
Lol yeah
-# absolute loser he was
So teshin is dead and we see his shadow in teshin relays
Teshin is alive in duviri
Teshinâs alive, heâs in Duviri
I forget, what was the citing incident of margulis's lighting?
Her refusing to weaponize the kiddos
Even when he was with that queen
She was against using the Transference Therapy she developed for war
Ah yeah, that'd do it. Honestly it's pretty depressing, considering she was so kind even after being blinded
I read at the the silver shrine quest they tested transference .
No, she developed it for Therapy Ballas warped it for War
Short
That's what I wanted to say, yeah
Ignoring the fact she cast rell out
Poor wording
A lot of the game is pretty much us using it for both purposes actually
When you think on it
Well I mean..yeah, every smooth surface has to have a scratch somewhere
Was it to cast him out, or to protect him? (or to give him a mission?)
I don't remember the details well... (so i'll have to replay it too xD)
Pretty sure it's cuz autism coded, and because of him blinding her
Autistic person hating aside, Would you want a kid who stabbed out your eyes staying at your daycare?
"Blinded, she cast him out"
Oh right, wasn't margulis jade lighted cuz she didn't want to use child soldiers?
Yes
Ah, yes... things happened in this order... thx
Rell did hold down Wally for 1000 years
@shadow forum but yes the Teshin in duviri is the same teshin.
I just gave birth...
So im confused did we go to tou or is it another "drifter" moment where we did and didnt thanks to void stuff?
The Old Peace is flashbacks.
Reliving the Operators dormant memories.
Not a new concept either, The War Within was also about unlocking suppressed memories.
So its just unlocking a vault for memories?
Then the Next update after old peace is going back to tou
The 2026 Tau update will be going to present day Tau yes.
Well not next but in 2026 yes.
Yeah it'll likely be the End of Year 2026 update
Much like how 1999 was first shown at TennoCon 2023, teased in the end of year Whispers in 2023 then got an actual quest released end of year 2024
But The Old Peace is likely solely focused on Tau, rather than how 1999 was a small part of Whispers
I donât think thats how theyâre doing it this year
Old peace will give us the motivation to go to Tau
And possibly the method
we will have to see
Since Whispers gave us the method to 1999
finally a good reason to use all three sacrificial mods.
Umbral* mods, there's only two sacrifical mods
And overall Primed Pressure Point does more damage than a buffed, fully upgraded Sacrifical Pressure, which is weird imo
both sacrificial mods are outclassed even with the set bonus, aren't they?
pressure by primed, steel by galvanized
steel has more crit chance than galv, galv just had that very very very very sweet bonus of way more crit damage
yeah
chance and damage is more useful than just a bunch of chance
like sac steel at base has twice the cc as galv steel
Latest math I saw suggested that Tenacious Bond was letting Sac edge out Galv in some situations, but it does put other limits on your overall build.
I should really play Faceoff more
Amir: "All the girls I've dated, they both said I'm the fastest. So it should come as no surprise that my squad is winning."
umbra has never seen such cap before
perfect opportunity for Sentient faction liches
Sentient Liches would be so amazing. I already got to the coda and kuva Liches and theyâre pretty cool with how theyâre like your rival. Sentient would just complete the faction Liches for each one
We'd need Orokin Liches for full completion
Orokin, the faction formerly known as Corrupted
although I wouldn't entirely be surprised if we ended up with blue-skinned longarms for that one
Myr-mi-don, Myr-mi-don
...that is scary genius
I mean unless there's a conclave hiding out there thats been undiscovered I don't see how it would work. Corruption is just super fancy Orokin brainwashing / indoctrination
how do i open yellow door in this room 2 computers and a entrati cystal
There's a video on yt showing how to unlock every riddle room, easier than explaining in text
computer on upper left. Crystal by electric rods. computer in center. door opens
i did 1 before asking but the second one was turned off
I'm honestly not sure either
I had an idea about the Towers corrupting Liches and Sisters, but that's starting to sound generic and boring to me
I seem to lack the creative fuel that gave us the Infested 90s Boy Band nemeses
If we do get Sentient Liches, however, I sincerely hope they are personalized Archons
Honestly DE have only proved those memes right , the drifter is sitting there having relationship problems and the occasional murmur issue in some dreamworld meanwhile the operator is having to fight 70 feet tall porcelain dolls with the special ability to be a sponge, poor child is going through it frfr
Someone points out that Wally makes deals with Operator using Lotus' hand, and Rusalka with her own severed handâ I think it's because he's learned from his mistake with Albrecht, where the door literally closed on his hand, and it resulted with a finger being cut off
WHY DOES SHE LOOK LIKE A OOMPA LOOMPA!?!?!đ đ đ
Is there a way to make the kiss scene not play automatically?
the brown and white outfit doesnt help her case đ
prolly not
it auto-plays when you first see it in the inbox, and the inbox auto-opens it
ig if you have another thing in there at the same time, but that isn't consistent
Nah I believe the way the game works is that it'll automatically open your inbox on login/when there's something new
computer, then two crystals on each side
will keep an eye out next time
You'll have to use your Tenno to activate the crystals
yeah i was in that mode im shore i tried shooting at a fair few things
giving 5 plat for a cred bless i give first
nani
i just looked at lullaby of the manifold music video
no offense but i thought megan sang it
Corpus Porcus voidity boo
I got some taxations for you
Looks like an Oompa Loompa and has poor balance too 
I love her. I hope you keep her
oh i wouldnt dare vanquish this...interesting...specimen
poor balance?
whats poor balance mean?
Wait really? 
I thought it meant itâs easier to knock her down with certain attacks
Have you guys seen umbra mag/volt
saw the post. its just the frame with Umbra's extras on it. like a prime toggle.
volt umbra looks like prime yes but mag looks amazing
What did yall name your Helminths?
Mine is Kirby currently
Nice >:D
Rumpelstilzchen. Still not entirely sure why
(It's the german version of rumpelstiltskin btw)
The freak
Audrey IV
Lmao what even
[DE]layed is probably a Dev or something, all their TikToks are jokes using assets
Most notably, they used Adis at the intro of this one
Probably redtext lol
I looked it up and uh
No
They use AI voices, this ainât DE
Like thereâs literally an AI Lotus
The Adis may be too
Oh definitely AI voices for everything
but I think it's still DE because how else would they have access to Adis and etc.
Since it's a joke account and not any official reveals whatsoever it could just be them using AI for that
or there's a rogue Dev at DE who's doing it
or rebecca is extremely talented and able to make herself sound like she's AI-generated to throw us all off
Adisâ model was used during the tennolive relay
Theyâre def not on a live build but I really doubt itâs a dev, rogue or not
probably part of the group of folks who play around builds of the game offline
The more I look at it
Yeah probably
Hello guys, I'm not a native English speaker, so I hope it's okay to ask a quick question.
I heard from someone that DE might reclassify some main story quests as side content, or even make them skippable or remove them entirely.
Is this information accurate?
I'd really appreciate any clarification. Thank youđ„ș đ !
It is extremely unlikely they will remove them entirely. I haven't seen any official announcement about re-ordering quests, but if I remember correctly, the quest "Saya's Vigil" is no longer necessary for quest progression.
Ahhh I see now ,thanks so much
!
Cortana. Because I like Halo and thought naming Helminth, Gravemind was a bit dumb lol
Nazgul, but I think I should have gone with Snorlax
Douglas
Its this or Gerard
Adephagia :)
Hector the Tumor
Helminthy
I wasn't feeling creative that day, but I've come to like it
bill nye gone wrong
I named him Hades lol
is there any story gameplay with the 4 non original protoframes?
There's Stage Defense with Flare and that's it
that's it? no new quest or anything?
well damn
Elite Temporal Archimedea is hosted by Kaya and then the other two just have nothing lol
Hey Minerva and Velimir are also in ETA
The dialogue in TA is some of my fav
They all have their own kims and stuff. Kaya has ETA and the couple go with you during that.
But there's not a quest or something.
Pov: what atlas sees after blowing up a giant asteroid and goes home. (he's eating good)
those are ALL rocks btw (so dont even try it)
I was wondering why the meat looked so dry
Don't underestimate me
Could u imagine if they let use use the dropping from orbit outside of old peace
You can choose whatever you want. I chose to let her decide for herself because everything has always been decided for her where she got very little say in many stuff. Atleast thatâs how I chose it.
I looked through the three options
Honestly, I think she's happiest when she decides for herself
It'd be so cool
question - do I have to set the Backroom to my base of operations for my paramour to show up? They're never there when I enter from the Mall entrance
Have you got to Loved yet with the one you're dating?
yep
(Even if she chooses the worst possible option - she dies early, and their culture also dies)
Their culture doesn't die, they just change it
Figure out a new way to live
I think that's better than curing her and forcing them to find a new path right now or they all die anyways
Yeah
Her deciding that she will be the last one, which gives them time to figure out how to change, is the best option in my opinion
Exactly
I think sending her home would probably give the best outcome from a greater perspective, specifically if that culture/strain/whatever is then further studied
Instead of letting that knowledge be lost, if only partially
Itâs a weird thing that seems to need to be passed down specifically from person to person.
Lets them pacify the infested around them or something.
If they could have figured out how to give it to everyone, I think they would have done it by now since itâs been with them for a while. In fact they probably could have spread it to everyone else but then it would inevitably kill them.
Hence why they only have a single person burden whatever
Yes
dont allow your parents into the room /j
you deadass?
like if i walk up stairs she cant follow me?
đ
You could check the official wiki, it gives details on the various quirks
i do not remember wally having a whole conversation about Isaah on the Orbiter
Always happens after snackrifice though
Although wally is usually on the other table for me when it happens
Convo probably gets saved for the next best opportunity if it doesn't trigger right away
Hey kiddo ( disappear)
It was always there.
how often does wally appear in the orbiter?
cuz he appears right when i walk into or out of my landing craft in the camp >:[
Randomly
Iâve gone weeks without seeing him
I didn't have him for over half a year and then he appeared twice in the same day.
I kinda hope he still pops up after the current arc
Yeah, I might miss having him around ngl
I mean, assuming they won't strip the functionality of the Ordianry Chair, they should
He rarely appears in my game, but interesting enough whenever im not expecting, he then appears. Scares the crap out of me everytime
I barely see him these days :(
What have you guys named your Amps? Normally I just run with a portmanteau of the parts I used to make it (Raklapcha â Raplak, Clapkra, Pencha, for example) but I've started naming them to be a bit more thematic, especially with the TennoLive reveals, things like "Broken Peace" or "Forlorn Shores"
Latin
Void blaster 1 and 2
And the flamethrower amp on my old acc named gehenna
sticky web shooter
le eido killer
i have the number notation on my older ones
big boy 223
boeing 747 dreamliner
guys is my operator ready for old peace? đ
i dont like the ephemera
but i dont know which would be good with it
Oh yeah! They look ready. I feel like an ephemera would look a bit off, but that depends on which one it is
vengeful trickster ephemera works
This reminds me i need to work on my operator
I'm gonna delay that until the operator rework hits
i rlly hope in tau 2026 pazuul becomes relevant again
hello guys.i have question about new war wild hunt .is it any option to quit that quest?im struggling for months to pas those levels but no sucess.my frustration reach peak.im bit older guy and thats beyond me...to the point of giving up warframe completely.i played that game nearly from beggining and clocked 4k+ hours but that quest locked game for me.do u have any solutions for that quest or go to former wareframe?
No, unfortunately
Check the wiki if you are struggiling
The Archons aren't too difficult if you know what to do
It's mostly rolling and shooting, no reflexes needed
Worst case scenario you could probably try contacting support
You can't quit try look for some info to help get past it the archons aren't too hard ive played that quest 3 times now
Yea we need to know why youre struggling with the archons to know how to help
Also you can do archons in whatever order you like i did nira and amar then the borb
I did Boreal and then Amar 'cause it made more narrative sense to me
(Both times I played the New War)
they killing me every time im trying to shoot them at glowing places but the whole thing last so long that they able to kill me in process
You are using the healing ability, right?
"Glowing places"?
yes
You can always look in youtube to see how other people did it
This is the screechy owl one?
Have you tried the snake?
no
She's pretty easy
Amar key is staying close enough that he doesn't use his jump attack, nira you gotta pay attention to when she's about to use the line of sight damage
Boreal I've never fought properly bc the other two are easy
Make sure to heal when you get hit by an electric proc since it status cleans you
And screech bubble requires you to either drop a smoke bomb to enter
And hit him
Or you can just roll into it
ill give it another go.thanks a lot guys for ur help.â€ïž
just created Nidus
when do I have to breed for helminth charger?
can I remove the cyst rn or do I have to wait 7 days?
also, do I have to remove it before or during the kubrow creation?
Removing means you can't make a charger until you get another one
You drain the cyst into the kubrow egg as you start incubating
Also google exists
the wiki exists too, and it doesn't help with the order of what you have to do
i do
Removal makes it so the frame can't get a cyst again
Which definitely only exists bc the cysts are ugly as hek
yeah, but I do have to drain the cyst into the incubation process
but it also takes 7 days to grow
but it nowhere states how the f you drain it into the incubation or if it needs to be mature
"While using the infected Warframe with a fully matured cyst, the player can select "Begin Incubation" under the Kubrow Breeding tab. There, a new Helminth Cyst option will appear at the bottom of the Incubator menu via a button marked "Drain". Clicking this will bring up a confirmation dialog, after which the incubation process will proceed as it would for any other Kubrow. "
thank you
-# Coulda just googled it
sighs and implodes
Well that is straight up copy pasted from some google result
and from the previous paragraph on the wiki "24 hours after infection, a pink cyst will appear on the infected Warframe's neck, which will reach full size after another 6 days indicated by a single tendril emerging from the follicle." just so you know what "fully matured cyst" is.
https://wiki.warframe.com/w/Helminth_Charger bottom two paragraphs of "acquisition"
Does it have a guide for liches too or is that too complicated for the wiki
ehh, the wiki lich stuff is a bit of a mess... it's not bad, but it's not exactly concise.
Has the info, but for sure not a guide
the gameplay tab gets into some of the "how to efficiently test requiems" stuff, but only once you get down to tips
zanuukas feel less scary when once you get to the second dream ngl
cuz when you first start you think youre a living robot, and that alad v basically just did the equivalent of skinning a human, but once you learn warframes are metal suits it becomes less scary
still a cool concept tho
oof, I take it you havent reached The Sacrifice huh
Dont the operators feel what their warframes feel when they transfer to the frame? Or am i mis-remembering lore?
Yes they do
Yes. Which opens an interesting thing, considering that the Operator was within Jade when she... yeah
Tenno arenât inside Warframes
No, but they do feel what the warframe feels
So the Operator did indeed feel Jade giving birth
(Even if it's not the same as a normal human)
he was on nightwaves console for me
i like the one bought from ticker better
You mean chipper?
The wings? I like them too but they took up a lot of the screen and annoy me lmaoo
We got a new cutscene starring our favorite blue trenchcoat wearing slimeball
https://youtu.be/R93mAdFL_go?si=jybkYN145Qj-niOH
(It's actually really old and was implemented as an introduction a few months ago)
Yeah, and more lore accurate
More lore accurate than... what? Nothing?
Considering Valkyr's Gersemi and why Zanuka has a suspiciously similar cyan colored body
Ok but what is it more lore accurate than
⊠Yeah I got nothing lmao
There's nothing to compare it to, but I get what you mean
Is it at all possible to get the cutscene to play if you already completed the Jupiter junction in both Star chart and SP?
Could be something in the codex?
If itâs there my brain is too small to find it
Right so idk if its spoiler but the tenno from the man in the wall has started popping up again i have completed main story is this leading towards the next update?
Yea
That's been an rng thing since chains of harrow
Ohh ok jst cause a havenr had it happen for past 5 months ish
All of a sudden mf makes me shit myself out of nowhere when i was chilling in my orbiter
Wally doesn't appear in the backroom unless you place down a completely ordinary chair
?
That's a decoration
Sorry im still figuring out the game and certain stuff lol
The ordinary office chair. Brought to you by Frosty Furniture (purchased by Velimir)
Very normal chair nothing suspicious about it
Yeah, you have to do The Hex quest and Rank 5 to unlock him
If you didn't buy it then you don't have it
Isn't it just R4
Thatâs Flare and Lizzie. They do appear in Rank 4, but you canât talk to them until Rank 5
Ahhh yea need to grind the hex think im lvl 2
A
Seeing an old trailer rendered real-time in-game fascinates me.
I got that cutscene on one of my alts not knowing it was added and it shocked me.
Can't believe bro is making this in real time
my guy...

You know, that also happened to me. I haven't seen him for over half a year, and suddenly I had him appear twice in the same day before yesterday.
could this relate focus expansion to different schools having different expansions? as it has ||Naramon|| logo on the sword?
Likely is Naramonâs thing
its because i saw the video second time today on feed and then this time it clicked on my brain
this is exactly what it looks like
Yeah, iirc i believe they even said or mentioned that itâs like an ultimate for the Naramon school.
I think they confirmed that this was the naramon "ultimate" either in the same stream or any number of the post tennocon interviews
in this video it didn't mention any relation to naramon so possible post tennocon interviews
it was the demo gameplay
I think it may have been from one of the interviews or in the Tennocon after the demo. I do remember they mentioned it somewhere. But it definitely has Naramonâs symbol, which is so cool. It makes me wonder what the other Schools would have?
same thoughts here
Madurai is a giant void blast
100%
A giant void black hole lol
I Wonder if one of the ults is just gonna be crucible blast/pre war within operator void blast
We have that in railjack
Nah, I need that in the palm of my hand and chuck it at Ballas
In the demo the one school thatâs mentioned is Naramon
When we help Adis on his test Naramon is shown
Which I do wonder if whatever school we go into the quest with is the one we get to try out and possibly unlock first
Iâm very curious to see how resources and missions will work with old peace since itâs all a memory bath
With focus it can likely be chalked up to techniques we are relearning and memorizing
Like war within
"Oh, that's where I left it"
Yeah lmao
I know around 2026 weâll go to present day Tau, so we could get something from there. Maybe memory Tau we believe it into existence or something lol.
Ig we just
Time capsule it lol
Well we arenât changing anything in the past, so resource caches we left behind would make the most sense
Old Peace is probably gonna have an ending that leads to the reason we go to Tau
Oh for sure
But it will have some form of gameplay and new resource for getting the tauron expansions
Iâm also curious to see if wall running is something we will have to unlock or not
Also ofc Oraxia wall running
Idc if itâs baked in with the update or a future mod for her
Let her crawl on walls
Might only be on new tilesets, rather than being put into older ones.
I mean it seems like an expansion to the parkour system
Like I would guess we can do it anywhere
Our movement can be crazy as is so limited just that to new times doesnât make sense
Like
Titania exists
Bullet jumping exists
Oh yeah, itâs a definite lead up to whatever is coming in 2026
They only showed it off on what looked like specific walls with a separate texture and everything, like in other games.
Wall running would just complete the parkour experience. I am so ready to just start running on walls everywhere
I mean yeah, but I still donât see why it would be limited
Like it will likely need enough space, like the walls used, but thereâs no point in limiting it to those walls
Itâs not a game breaking piece of movement
You can bullet jump those gaps :L
That also was like
A literal gameplay demo
I can think of a fair few walls that would benefit from it too
Like the ones in the Corpus Gas factory
I want to see you wall run in the Zariman...
Challenge accepted
Iâll make that attempt. I kinda already do that in the Zariman
Wall running in arching missions đŁïž đ„
i did notice that too. maybe a better indicator of what focus school you are using vs the energy stamp we place on the floor now.
Someone gave me a thought infested gun Gemini skins
What would the Gemini versions even be?
yes i meant chipper.... i meant the fog of war not the eros wings @mortal meadow
Right ive not fully thought this out but my main thought was like a primary secondary and melee weapon emote thatd turn the equipped weapon into a infested cosmetic skin that has dialogue sort of like lizzy
AX-52 Incarnon :P
How can I make my operator more manly
âHow do you make a child more manlyâ
Play Drifter
Slap on a beard
A beard đ
If youâre struggling with making drifter more âmanlyâ look up how other people make their Drifter
The new quest we bouta use an operator tho can we use a drifter?
also new quest will come with an operator art update, so trying to get them perfect in advance is likely to fail.
Bet
How to make operator manly: make the fit hard
Hard you say bet
Or just make them pretty
?
Is there any etiquette about using drifter & operator in low level missions? Like is it fine to do it?
Its been years since I played the beginning of main story and I don't remember how soon that gets revealed and if its a major spoiler to be popping out of your warframe.
second dream is at or around neptune in terms of star chart progression
most of the community seems to avoid letting new players see operator/drifter, use it when they're far away or not at all, whatever
Id say its polite to not use it unless with players who know of and have it you can use it but its kinda spoiling a new players time
Most times they won't even notice. If they do you can always just cover with a "it's an ability you unlock later" type excuse.
When I mob low level survivals to farm some quick weapon levels (say i have like one level left on a gun), I take in my basic frames so I'm not massively op.
I keep operator to myself, its bad etiquette
If you're doing things stupid fast like Relic cracking with Sunder Titania you shouldn't even be busting Operator out tbh
i need to do a bell-curve meme of warframe's "big bad guy" before the old peace comes out that goes:
before the new war: "sentients are the bad guys" -> durring the new war: "it's not the sentients who're the bad guys, it's the remaining orokin" -> after the new war: "sentients are the bad guys"
nur, ive been at isleweaver for a long while lo
*lol
I mean it was more Ballas who was the bad guy during TNW, he just had sentient forces and praghasaâs corpse
I mean even after I wouldnât say the sentients are the bad guys
Just the archons
Which are sentients, yes, but eh
Theyâre different from other sentients
welcome back, in that case, then you'd be back to " alad v basically just did the equivalent of skinning a human"
What do you find the best things to farm are to feed the Helminth?
Whatever I have excess for
Mostly Voidgel Orbs for Bile
Ferrite for Oxides
Ect.
Never had to farm helminth food
Idk if this is a place that we can say that buuuut... I have a question...
Meanwhile operator is going to revive its PTSD on tau ALL over again RECOVER all its trauma... Again, pur drifter...
Gonna be chilling in 1999 with its lover ??
drifter's not currently up to anything other than 1999 looping, no
they're pretty much chilling, all things considered
tho they're most likely going to be involved with the "entrati side-chapter" with the devil's triad
hey, drifter might have to explain duviri trauma to another new set of protos
but yeah basically
tbf operator's been remembering a lot of that already, this is just.. another section
Rebb is doing good writing
The kid dealing with traumas like a old man veteran movie
meanwhile drifter is living a horror teenagers romance movie
Both of them are screwed dont matter the timeline
Jokes aside what we saw on the tennocom is supposed to mean the past
So we gonna dive in the past missions or we gonna go to past and go to present too??
Tau 2025 is past, tau 2026 is present
Liiike.... How i say that... Oh here i found the location... Lets go back than :D
exploring memories of tau, and we'll actually go there next year
through currently unknown means
Well as long it dont involve me throwing hands woth adis
Im ok with it
Sentient kid is cool
kid's not a cephalon
100% that i gonna play it with rules of nature but screw it
Ik my brain is running 2 bit
I believe there was an interview with the Narrative team where they said that "Drifter had a reason to go to Tau, the Old Peace will give the Operator one"
Operator is realizing that there are still living sentients
If the drifter leave from 1999 will the loop colapse??
No
Obv not, drifter isn't the source of the loop
Look, the loop spell is a complete "?" For me
Albrecht somehow created it but it only looped 1 day, after the hex quest it gets extended through unknown means
The reactor was probably the initial energy source for the loop
Extermination
But the reactor no longer melts down in the fixed loops
That happens later
Well... Clonning boybands seems to create umbelivable horrors on the future...
Anyway
Soo entrati may or may not knew our loop cast
Maybe that is why he was in a hurry to go on tau
He tough we would cast a loop there and bye?
The coda actually probably have the least impact since they just sit in stasis until the present
Buuuut was the "primer" for the actuall infestation
That was the techrot
...yes...
Techrot came before coda
Im talking about the techrot...
.....
I was talking about the techrot it self but ok
but why did drifter have to keep the loops going on forever, even after the hex finale which is the good ending for them?
To make sure the fixed timeline sticks
If the nuke dont go boom infestation grow, if techrot grow no orokin, no warframes, no tennos that means in a really confusong way and probably out of mind
They also still have the issue of the Helminth developing further
IF wally stopped the bomb
That could make a empty path the wally invade the origin system
The Reactor not melting down is the fixed version of the loop
Yeah... That is why we can see the murmur on fight quest
Its a dumb detail but rlly open alot of theories
?
sooo... that means the fixed version is another small world of ours? (like duviri)
Arthur vs techrot boss?...
not like duviri
thats the real past babey
Well following the eternalism
Yes
no absolutely not
Does the bomb go boom?
That's wally trying to stop the reactor from being kept intact
No
Reactor meltdown is bad, reactor intact is good
do you mind explaining further? the hex is the only confusing part for me of the lore
Actually it would be rlly funny and at some point whem we do the new year kiss the bright light flashing is the nuke consuming everything
Can't explain better bc the game doesn't either
xd
It's. Not. A nuke.
like, i just thought that, meltdown prevented, the team saved, done, now we look forward to 2000
Its a nuke
but no, we are stuck in 1999 forever
To be fair it stops being a reactor the moment it explodes
so, is 1999 going through a bootstrap paradox?
No
Itâs Chernobyl
It stops being anything but it's never a bomb
A bomb is intended to explode, a reactor is not
I wonders if theres a ...cure? For the protos
so what events gets carried over from 1999 over to the present day without the use of time travel
Or a way to stop or reduce the helminth
If there was we wouldn't get temple
Coda, temple
The temple frame we use is a copy of a fully transformed flare
but didn't temple get time travel to hibernate
No they just sat in a rock
I just want my man back to normal... Jokes aside but the techrot really seems to destroy their psych bit by bit
I don't understand how he slept for thousands of years
The loop is just a "torture" for them
and then awakened in the orokin extinction
They* just did
so duviri loop is just ignored?
Psyche is intact but the transformation is likely incredibly painful
What
Well... The infestation madness says otherwise...
It's very likely that that's not a real thing
wasn't there like a rule for kaya's time travel to be like: you need to return to 1999 before the loop occurs
It also happens after (to Scraps message, not felfuris)
Hai fiv :D
Long time no see
Not what im called
.... Okey....
It's a t not an f
Ik i was just messing a lil... Since for a long tome i just called... Fiv
Buut okey.
Anyway
not the case
I don't understand the rules of kaya's time travel to make a consensus that temple just slept for thousands of years to participate in the Naga drums
you the drifter makes trips back
shrimple: Kaya time travels the short way, flare time travels the long way
so, then, did temple time travel or no?
One sleep other skip
you do understand what it is meant by "the long way"?
then aren't they subjected to the loop?
you and I are presently time traveling the long way right this instant
Technically nah just big fat nap that'll have them waking up with every bone cracking
Well more like... The loop is just a +
because its a wack misconception to think that the loop needs to end for time to continue
Time continues beyond 1999 eventually
Whem the bubble stops it all gets back to normal
just because you edit one section of a tape doesnt mean the rest of a tape doesnt exist
so temple just slept for unteenth period of time for the loop to be dispelled
^
In a disturbed way to say the thing .. yes
Kinda
so it's not 1999 looping but drifter traveling back again and again?
I find it more stable to think of the 1999 loop as a sub-game that produces effects in the timeline, which is the main-game
no
1999 loops, the drifter can at any time return to the present and come back
this is critical to kaya leaving 1999
Well you can leave it, not like you are stuck on it
The time is locked in
Its like
Protea time bubble
so confusing xddd
without you being able to go back at will kaya has nothing to home in on to reach the present
The time in there is locked but it dont means you cant just leave
why do you arbitrarily say that time is locked
still waiting for more ppl to say I'm right or wrong
Well it is
A loop is a block
It will not go further it will consistently reset
well time travel is like you can be gone from the past and be back the second you left
You're right or wrong
best non answer ever
like, it still bothers me why 1999 must be looped infinitely
well, not exactly the right way to phrase it:
assuming (which I heavily disagree) that time is stuck there, temple will always end the loop sleeping in a rock until the loop breaks
alternatively, the loop does not need to be dispelled, all it does is decide what events constitute the past, and time proceeds from there
heavily disagree that this is the only way for it to go
1 if the bubble leave the infestation will return to its spread mode
imagine the loop is dispelled at the end of warframe
2 no explosion no techrot smite
3 maybe drifter know how turn it on but dont know how to turn it off
like critically, we can observe time moving forward, with temple and with the coda
Its not like it comes with a guide book
Which is part of the correct timeline
so either randomly the loop is destined to end, or the loop doesnt hold back time
Kaboom
Doesn't happen
Yes
and given that you can get emails from the operator, I dont think time is having any bit of a freeze moment
Only if someone go there and starts the melting process again
so is albrecht time travel the reality that happened? like is that the reality that got changed or is the 1999 loop's history the reality
Both
Both
wait wait wait... so 1999 is looped but 2000 still happens (?), how?
The loop ends
Why do we keep assuming that
Inside the bubble 1999 still happening
Bubble blows year still going
Normal
Kinda
why is it the assumption that the loop must end???
...
this is truly the duviri paradox
Because... it eventually does have to?
Isn't that what happens with the good ending. From my understanding the looping during gameplay canonicaly occurs before that, no?
After too
Even me against my needs that i want arthur and the hex stay ok i know this is not what is supposed to happen
guess we will know when the father and sister debut in the old peace
if that is the case then is 1999 just we waiting and waiting, until the loop ends and everything fixes itself?
I posit to you this scenario:
you play a one of kind roleplaying game. It has missions, much like the original halo games. The gimmick here is that as you play through, you make choices that affect later missions and as you play you discover that you really dont like a choice you made in an earlier mission. The gimmick allows you to return to that mission, and change that choice, which changes the events of the mission youre presently at. Do you follow me?
I mean that in the priestly way
but the good ending's loop doesnt end
Then why bother stopping the reactor if it's going to loop minutes later?
Changing the past change the future
like specifically you and arthur talk about keeping it good
Because drifter wanted to help them
Because it not exploding is part of the fixed timeline
But why not wait until the last loop so you don't have to do that again next time???
Why loop it afterwards if you fixed it
And why fix if you're looping it
And thus have to fix it again
Did you know what the infestation is capable of?
The change needs to be repeated to become the present end
It becomes a global problem no matter what
(Assuming the reactor doesn't blow up, probably)
No explosion the infestation will keep growing
yes, sort of
Which creates the Orokin and thus the Tenno, it kinda has to happen
Infestation in my eyes is one of the sci-fi most destructive thing ever
thats how I see it, no need for the loop to end, only a need to ensure the loop turns out a certain way to dictate the way forward
The explosion was almost certainly engineered by Albrecht
necromorph
But if the loop isn't broken, why
That only matters when it ends
Who knows
Maybe drifter will start the reactor
Maybe not the possibilities are infinte
I would assume that the past must be maintained as the good end so that the present remains as it is
oh, so the real question i have been wondering should be, how could a time loop exist in a linear flow of time?
Except in your example, once you change that, the "loop" ends until you decide to change it again
Unless I misunderstood something
In the fixed loops the reactor does not explode
misunderstood slightly, the loop doesnt "end" it just repeats.
uuuuh how familiar are you with dna transcription?
Ik but if we follow eternalism we just created a new branch on the timeline
A branch of what if the bomb dont exploded
Not much, but I think I see where you are going with that
Who knows what future will be
time is a block and it has funny whirls in its shape
Maybe the orokin never existed
The difference is that, for all the Drifter cares, each loop isn't really it's own thing
It happens on the same linear path
think of the timeline as a produced protein, the events that make up a timeline the RNA strand
Right, but again, we're not trying, or even want, to produce multiple timelines
We are perfectly satisfied with just one
Someone using the DNA code as a timeline example is completely new to me
Why would we need several?
"time is a big wibbly wobbly, timey wimey stuff"
who said anything about multiple timelines?
singular desired protein product
Did you play the new war quest?
Yes, I wouldn't be discussing the Hex then
Please don't throw in "Eternalism"
Ok, I feel like my Bio knowledge is failing me here, wouldn't that still mean a singular time?
It... Show really well that the path we choose is the one that gonna be
its not about producing a quantity, its about what is produced yazimme
yes yes yes
I'm not saying there isn't multiple universes, I'm saying we don't need that.
Whem accepting the deal you can see the operator die multiple times, this is the realities where we dont did the deal
for the sake of this analogy/imagery, imagine that this protein only exists one at a time, but for all intents and purposes its the same timeline
I'm not awake enough for this, good luck bau
every time time passes, the rna (the timeline if events) is coding the protein. us fiddling around in 1999 is changing the codons in the rna strand. the final protein product is changed.
and the almighty ribosome of time (the loop) starts the rna strand again
Right, but the main change we need was the one engineered by Albrecht (probably) to fix the reactor. After that is done, there is no need for the loop to repeat. There isn't any need for the RNA strand to be restarted.
I understand, however the clownshit albrecht set it up so whackly, so the loop repeating becomes a cosmic repetition
the loop repeats regardless of the good ending or not, and the mad chicken has already fled the coop
So we're assuming that the loop can't be stopped?
'Cause that's completely different
I was working under the assumption that we choose to continue looping.
thats my assumption here. none of the cast can actually stop the loop
otherwise drifter would have done the smart thing and end it
no need to entertain questions about loops
Yeah, that's why I was confused, why bother looping 1999 when you already fixed everything lol
but also the looping does damage to the timeline, which is the purpose of ETA/TA
so like, theres very little true benefit to keeping the loop going
Tbf the loop mostly exists just for gameplay, the lore reasons came second
that too, but like, it clearly wasnt hard for us registered losers to think of a justification, so its not hard for the actual team to think of one
im pretty sure drifter can just activate a loop by slamming their fist
1999's loop was long in place before the drifter started meddling in things
Well, yes, but it was looping before us. So can we stop it?
entrati tells you this to your face during the quest that it was looping already
then drifters ability is it to be able to remember all the loops
hm i was sure the fist slam has to symbolize their loop ability when thraxx did the same and hes a manifestation by drifter
They can loop early from my understanding
i wonder if entrati had to invent time travel himself or if he by some paradox simply stole kayas notes lol
Yeah, Drifter can loop on their own with âšVoid magicâš after the end of Duviriâs Paradox. It was looping before by Entrati with him blowing up everything each end of 1999 to restart it since he doesnât get magic powers lol. But Drifter has to keep up the loop to keep the good end of timeline in order to fight back against Wally since it was fixed on the bad end where everyone dies
So... the Drifter keeps the loop voluntarily?
I swear everyone seems to have different opinions on this
I wish the game was more obvious
On if the loop is impossible to stop or if the Drifter decides to do it for... reasons
For now I'll assume they don't have a choice and the loop is forced đ€·ââïž
hex are a family to them
operator gets to relive their forgotten traumas while drifter gets to chill after an eternity of executions lol
i so very hope the hex eventually appear in the future and we get the interactions that were somewhat teased in the chats
idk if its forced but the drifter does canonically have the choice to pick if the hex forgets the chats or not
arthur got a text where he says since he trust you with his life, its fine if you make them forget
one answer option is "thanks i have to keep loop to try and date your sister" đđđ
The loop powers thing is unconfirmed
Sooooo break the loop and live in the year 2000? I fail to see how that's worse than repeating the same thing over and over again.
i believe the loop affects the growth of the proto frame strain causing them to lose their mind eventually
so loop = forever alive or something
The loop just resets the transformation back to how it was at the start of the year, but when time continues they'll fully turn, though not necessarily go insane
The transformation itself does not instantly cause the insanity, and I personally still believe it was entirely the orokin's fault when frames did go crazy due to them trying to torture frames into obeying
Wait what interactions?
With other characters, like Quincy and Cavalero
(Probably, not OP)
yeah especially quincy
with cav, parvos and maroo& varzia
amir meeting ordis too
amir also jokingly said to watch out for any ceophalon rima that makes games in the future (himself)
He meets Simaris and makes the joke but Simaris is shook because there actually was a cephalon rima infamous for the awful things they did before and after becoming one
I just want to talk to them with my Operator. That's it, and that's all. XD
I want to introduce the hex to the other entrati just to make them hate albrecht even more
Seconded, I want a feature in the KIM to swap accounts to the Operator 
WHAT IS SHE DOING WITH MY WIFE
Getting drunk and crying
Lettie doesn't want people to think she doesn't hate el
what are YOU doing
Getting drunk and crying
what am I doing
Lettie does care about Eleanor and doesnât like the fact sheâs closest to turning monster mode
So she gives the image of hating Eleanor as a mechanism to try to make the process of possibly killing her easier.
I mean even that fails as Lettie mchesitates in the quest before Eleanor decides to chomp her.
Then in the quest where drifter fixes everything Lettie forgoes any hesitation to check on Eleanor after she resists joining the techrot.
I wonders... If the memories about tau and the whole thing was fake
What else was a lie?
No, they're actual memories of a peace time during Old War
Wha?
Im talking about the things that was told us that was erases from the Memories
Not something straight up from our memories
Man thats not even possible you tough i said a STRAIGHT UP memory was a lie
I ..
đ
A memory isn't the events of what happened, it's your perception of what happened. Lie, no, but Loid is certainly worried about embellishments
I assume he might be worried about any possible interference by margulis too
From back when she messed with our memories
Well something about margulis will happen
Or will be told about her
Something about Margulis already happened (Her eyes being blown off) lol
What i'm talking about is
We know margulis messed with our memories
We know loid is worried about "polluted histories"
We saw in the demo the like split second margulis when we dove back into our memories
To me it sounds like loid is worried about any weird backlash from forcefully undoing whatever margulis did
Maybe loid know about something about lotus
Maybe lotus was not that... Good angel afterall
I'm talking about actual margulis
Yes
Maybe margulis persona will affect lotus?
Idk something weird about margulis it self happens with me
Liiike the way tenshin talked about margulis on the war within
Almost sounds like margulis was not that very cool space mom
Question. Really need to know if dog days is kind of a throwaway Summer event or if it's actually something that de thaym and the Grineer occasionally do
About as throwaway as "they had a gas leak" can be ig
Maybe the timing is just for the evnt's sake
But i wouldnt put it past the grineer to have a reoccurring gas leak
Damn, that's a lil sad but expected it
Especially those under kela
Gas leak them
Kela grineers
No using violent weapons
Happy
Grineers happy
They are high
Too damn high
Itâs so funny finding that out lol because I just thought maybe Kela had an idea of a different kind of arena, but nah. Gas leak at hq making her very happy. Though the fact itâs kinda in between some updates and the Old Peace, which makes me think weâre getting super trauma thrown at us later on
Oh definitely, but DD doesnât have anything to do with it, itâs just an annual August event
Makes me a little sad, I like when the dumb seasonal events are actually Canon
I mean, it is canon
A gas leak making them too high enough to actually be fine with an arena of fun
Which happens every year. Honestly I'm convinced it's the Grineer on Rathuum that do it on purpose.
So that they don't die for once.
Or maybe one of them just likes the occasional water fight?
I'd probably do that if there was a good chance everyone would get armed with squirt guns
Not (entirely) so that I wouldn't die, but because I enjoy soaking people with water
Wanted to put this in spoilers just in case, but does anyone know if they're visually updating drifter and operator or just operator?
As far as we know, itâs just Operator getting the visual update
drifter will prolly get one later but its just operator for now, yeah
Got it, thanks guys
guys
I was in the middle of the ballas during new war.
I may have clipped back out of bounds on the last part
alp, I do not WANT to do the whole sequence again euughh
They specified Operator only when they initially announced this late last year, but I'm sure Drifter will get one someday too
Try /unstuck?
Might send you back where you need to?
Unsure if this belongs in spoilers or lore, so i'll go here.
Warframe 1999 end story
||in 1999 after you "fix" everything/ finish the final quest, quincy and Amir both comment about how they forget everything every time they loop (but have a vague memory that they're in loops, etc)
Does this apply to who you romance too? Like...what are the logistics...In universe, not the game mechanics.
Like 50 first dates or is it different because they're closer to you or something. Is this ever explained? ||
it just sends me back to that spot on the map
cause I touched valid ground, so it wont send me back to the map I need to be on thats in the sun
It's dependent on whether or not you reset. I think their dialogue is meant to imply "we've looped so many times it's hard to keep track", even if in-game you haven't looped much.
kinda forgot this appeared here.
getting jumped by everything. MR1 on this one. <3 I love speedrunning the quests to see what its like as a new player. very fun actually
Oh so there really are no MR locks anymore?
For story progression
yuuhhh, for majority yup
junctions dont need it either
all main-story dont need MR
I haven't reset or anything in my game, but also I was under the initial impression that the loops kind of blur together and thats what they're getting at, but then i got these chats today from quincy and amir that made me stop and think .
I understand amir's could partially be just "if i write this, the paper will disappear at the end of the loop" but its more than that, and quincy's especially says as much
đŽ back in my day we needed MR5 to get to sedna
I do NOT miss that actually
needing to get mr5 for vey hek still sucks
fat clown can be skibidi and I would still NOT want to fight his annoying ass
Well tbf so does the boss
Don't try fighting him melee only. It's not fun.
I made that mistake
I will never do that for any boss
that has I-frames for anything but specific nodes on their body
staring at lt krill and the flame grineer boss
And vay hek flies!
that too...thankfulyl his turkey mode dont have it
DE has been kinda vague on the looping tbh. Like, why exactly must we loop? How does time progress past 1999 if it loops? Why are there some chats where they act like they forget every loop, but the only time the player's "Forget" choice matters is with ||Lizzie knowing we reset time||?
Probably avoiding specifics to not shoot themselves in the foot. time shit is so hard to write and maintain. Maybe they're referencing the loops from before we "got it right" or something.
I swear, our alignments and resets feel like they should matter
Yeah ultimately the loop only still exists for gameplay purposes, the lore reasons and story seems to have come second
I kind of was under the impression we'll move on from the loop when more story comes out for 1999. IF more story comes out of it.
Like right now its just looping until we figure out what to do about wally
Even if the 1999 story continues after Tau, the loop will still continue for sake of gameplay, with the calendar rewards and the romances
As it's set up now, yeah, but i'm sure if they wanted to it wouldn't be too hard to make some way to finagle it if they really wanted to, but i guess i'm just relieved that that lore surrounding the loops is just fuzzy and i'm not as dumb as i thought LOL
This is happening a lot to you specifically
just bounced and slid off the map man.
not really vague. you havent been paying attention.
"We must know them to save them"
"Keep Wally at bay"
and its also "preservation" of them.
guys, I think I'm safe. the nuke wont go off. :D
oh hey, map blipping :D
wally please help, I been falling for 10 minutes and im out of energy
Welcome to my world Kiddo
[unintelligible screams of the damned]
/unstuck?
during the quest, cant open chat
so cannot type commands or nothin'
had to force close the game a second time. thats fine :T
No anger, all humor.
So like,,, what is the Indifference? Is it a conscience born of the Void? Is it a reflection of all the volatile emotions of those it comes into direct contact(unshielded Void exposure) with? Was it fully âbirthedâ by Albrechtâs venture into the Void? If it was birthed of Albrechtâs venture, could The Indifferenceâs nature be explained by the mental state of Albrecht when he first ventured into the Void?
All I wanted was to collect the little lore things. a
Is it a conscience born of the Void?
Maybe?
Is it a reflection of all the volatile emotions of those it comes into direct contact(unshielded Void exposure) with?
Possibly?
Was it fully âbirthedâ by Albrechtâs venture into the Void?
Into its current state? Yes.
If it was birthed of Albrechtâs venture, could The Indifferenceâs nature be explained by the mental state of Albrecht when he first ventured into the Void?
Albrecht sure thinks so
We "know" them by the finale, which takes less than one whole loop. As for keeping Wally at bay, we do that with love. Preserving them makes sense, though.
Sorry to Necromancer this... but... I've come onto an idea here.
Talking to Lizzie has revealed to us that The Infestation's Hive-Mind transcends linear time. Everything that is Infested is connected... but its communication are subject to some limiters. With that in mind... it's not really a surprise that the Hex are maintaining some degree of persistence through the Loops. Even with the safeguards that Albrecht put on their specific injections... the Protoframes are still as Infested as any Warframe.
Even though the Techrot can't fully subsume them into the hive... some part of the Hex Members' consciousness exists within the Collective Consciousness of the Infestation. That little bit is probably drip-feeding them pure vibes of who they've grown to be... even if Albrecht's safeguards prevent more overt intrusions.
Make sense?
I mean it's pretty normal for them. Also you can literally say take it slow.
spicy
Oh aim
Roughly what I was thinking regarding that too. I would love to get our hands on an infested interface that's good enough at being "small" to communicate but can still access the collected knowledge of the hivemind. Think of all the information stored there... think of how little of it actually applies to our current frames of reference.
Never apologize for necromancy. I love to yap
That makes sense if infestation in them did have that effect, but God that's gotta suck to experience
Now that I think about it... The Infested Hive-Mind is probably critical to Albrecht's Plan to fight the Man in the Walls because of how a person's memories and experiences can bleed across time (and timelines) through it.
Eternalism states that all possible pasts, presents, and futures are equally real. However, there is only one Void shared between all of eternity... and there's only one of the beings that live there. That means that there is only one Man in the Walls... and that there's only one Infested Hive-Mind.
We also know that all Warframes, even Cloned Warframes like the ones we build, inherit a bit of the person used to make the original. Based on what Lizzie has told us... that's probably the Hive-Mind connecting to that Warframe and putting as much of what's supposed to be there in there as it can. However... there can't be a singular original person. There's an infinite number of the "Original Person" smeared across Eternalistic Time... and ALL OF THEM are meeting in the single Hive Mind shared across Eternity.
If the Protoframes are experiencing something similar... then it's not just our versions of the Hex that they're getting vibes from as the Loops keep spinning.
If every Warframe Player is experiencing a bit of the Eternalistic Timeframe where they are the Chosen Operator that Wally cut the deal with, and the other players are effectively just other Tenno in-setting, then there's a 1999 for every player. That means that we aren't just helping one version of the Hex... we're all contributing to strengthening The Hex's "Echo" in the Infested Hive Mind.
Since that Echo has a bit of feedback to every version of The Hex... we're actually changing Time by altering what's POSSIBLE. Because the only things that don't exist across Eternity are the things that can NEVER happen... and our interactions with The Hex (amplified by the Hive Mind giving a feedback loop) are changing what they could even concieve of doing.
All of that sums up to something... kinda amazing: Protoframes can actually "Coordinate" across Eternalistic Time through that feedback loop, that hive-mind bleed... and effectively fight Wally across every possible section of time simultaniously.
Basically... we're writing "LOVE" into The Hex's part of the Hive-Mind across all timelines, and it has a positive feedback loop once it gets up to critical mass.
That's poison to Wally.
I've lost every intelligent word in my brain since it struck 1 am but I do want you to know I'm eating this with a knife and fork and appreciate you reviving my comment to share thiswhole revelation
One last bit.
This isn't overwriting them as people because the Infested Hive-Mind has some degree of distance within itself. There's limits to how fast information can propagate within it, and a lot of its actions are reflexive. The Drones we normally fight are more like White-Blood Cells than animals. That's why Lizzie can't just share her revelations about willing symbiosis with the rest of the Infestation. Knowledge takes time (for lack of a better word) to move around The Void and back into Time.
The Hex is getting a feedback signal from the Infestation... but the propagation of it is slow enough from the perspective of The Void that Albrecht's Safeguards are keeping it under control and preventing them from being subsumed.
I wonder if "Infested Madness" is actually just the feeling of every other Infested version of you slamming your heads together at Mach 5 in the Hive Mind, and a subsequent loss of identity?
Most of this is pretty bangers, although I am highly skeptical of infested hivemind hex coordination
Coordination is probably too strong a word, tbh... but I don't have a better one.
It is attached to the idea that there is an in-universe explanation for "everyone is the Chosen one" (in a similar vein to Destiny), but I think its more likely to be a bit more ludonarrative than actual lore
More... like trying to get a self-reinforcing signal going. A lot of tiny efforts that shouldn't matter coming together to make something bigger in The Void.
I wonder if "Infested Madness" is actually just the feeling of every other Infested version of you slamming your heads together at Mach 5 in the Hive Mind, and a subsequent loss of identity?
According to the chats we have with lizzie, its not so much the slamming of "other" versions of you, but rather the expansion of you to the infested collective. Think of it like your individuality being subsumed into the borg
you go mad because now youre part of something way bigger than your mind and body is supposed to be
I think I'm reading the same sentence from both ends, there, tbh.
You're hitting the collective, the collective is hitting you... none of it is left feeling very good since the Collective doesn't handle integration well.
I dont think it can be a case of you losing your identity because youre being slammed into other infested versions of yourself, because well, that would just reinforce that identity
because realistically all other players versions of the hex are almost near identical save for the events of a year
If I overlap that many arthur shaped arthurs, all I have is still arthur
Bit of a case of being Mutually Eldrich Abominations, I think.
The Infestation is too alien for us to comprehend it, and we're too alien to the infestation for it to comprehend. Then it just keeps pumping in more people to figure out what we are, because it's fascinated... and it took until Lizzie for it to fully work out what talking to people is.
...
I really want an explanation for how the heck the Helminth Strain got found the first time.
found? That jaun was engineered
Ballas: "We cultured the infestation, conceiving of a hybrid. Transformed, but only just. The Helminth was created, born to yield these new warriors, worthy of battle against you, the great and terrible Hunhow."
spoiler chat warframes are actually warframes guys
Gmo non organic warframes...
ethically sourced warframes only
spoiler alert guys warframes are actually made out of whatever a warframe is made out of
Sorry, got Eternalism on the brain. Everything is found, even if you build it, when you look at it from that perspective. It's all wandering the right path in a random walk.
It's... weird that the Orokin could figure out how to block off the Hive-Mind from being able to fully integrate with Warframes. Feels like there's something more to it than just the Orokin solving physics again. Especially with how much of a pain Wally is to deal with. Only reason he's not a bigger problem is that Albrecht accidentally cut off a finger closing the door.
If the Hive Mind is the same kind of being... what's the finger that got cut off to limit them?
warframes are warframes
So helminth was cultured like yeast ,I lost the plot, but its like when you make bred with wild yeast its less uniform and bigger holes in the bread, vs processed clean yeast. Still bacteria but yes :)
Bread :)
we are not horses we are warframes is the last line in the story missions
I wish we were the horses so bad
i dont have u seen what they pack imagine being a female horse the pain
having to take that galatine from the horse is a nightmare
Good thing im not a female horse, but also not really a warframe spoiler topic !
Sorry, got Eternalism on the brain. Everything is found, even if you build it, when you look at it from that perspective.
Woah there, thats too deterministic for a game that uses Eternalism non-deterministically
It's... weird that the Orokin could figure out how to block off the Hive-Mind from being able to fully integrate with Warframes.
They were master bioengineers, it wouldnt be surprising, plus like, it only lasted a while before the warframe went un poco loco
you havent finished game yet then
we are not horses we are warframes
I think a lot about the fact that wally's motivations are entirely unknown to us and potentially beyond our scope of understanding since we dont even really know /what/ it is
we see even with alad V and the Entrati family that infestation doesnt immediately lead to full incorporation with the infested
Did you guys know helminth is a real word outside of warframe because I feel stupid when I tried to pull up the wiki.
I learned and then forgot all the way up until I had to study it for an assignment
Somehow only made the connection the second time round
speaking of the infested hive
do you think we're going to get anything else on vome n fass's whole.. deal?
why they're the only proper conflict we've seen in the infested
I dunno, but I hope so. Im pretty 'infested'
Ill take myself out back for that one.
I've got Crack Theories for that one.
The one I favor, at the moment, is this: I think the Deimos is the Infestation's version of DARPA, just with less Ethical restraints. It's trying to develop better countermeasures against the threats it is experiencing by setting up an adversarial process on Deimos. Basically playing war-games against itself... but its nature lets live-fire war-games make sense. It's basically using the evolutionary process to refine its tactics and "tools".
Alternatively, it's the Entrani Family's fault. The Infestation found a fascinating strain of Love among that crowd. The mutual belligerence of the Entrani mixed in with how much they care about each-other just caught its attention... and it's emulating them in its own special way as a result. Vome and Fass are basically Daughter and Son hand-puppets while the Infestation tries to work out what it's looking at.
The second is a bit more fun... and leans a bit harder into what we've had with Lizzie of late. A weird case of the Eldrich Abomination becoming fascinated with the things its mind wasn't meant to understand... and causing absolute havoc on those things as it tries to bridge the gap.
the heck is a darpa
Defense Advanced Research Programs Agency. US Military R&D Division, created after the US got caught with its pants down regarding Sputnik.
Their job is to fund research with potential military or medical applications that won't recieve funding elsewhere, because it's a long-shot. They funded development of the original Internet Protocols, because they needed a distributed communication system that wouldn't utterly fail if a Telephone Hub got nuked.
those are interesting theories, yeah
the war-games approach is interesting but not very likely, i think
because they're not having small conflicts, one reforms and kills the other immediately, all infested there "swap" to the active sibling
i could see the relationships of the entrati fam bleeding into the landscape of deimos and creating that conflict, though. a little basic for the explanation but its probably the most likely
Occam's razor and all that
I don't think "The Eldritch Abomination is trying to overcome the limits of its nature and comprehend things the Hive-Mind was never meant to know" is a little beyond basic.
Kinda just flips the normal script on its head. Usually, it's the poor humans (and near-humans in the Entrani and Tenno cases) who go mad trying to figure out what the heck they're looking at.
I think the madness just comes from trying to fill a bucket with the ocean. There's too much of everything and nowhere for it to go unless youre allocating resources to the hive mind.
I was more talking Lovecraftian Horror than the Infestation, there... because the Infestation is really Lovecraftian in a interesting way.
I can't read :)
Most Lovecraftian Horror is rooted in the sheer indifference of those Eldritch beings that could crush you without ever realizing you exist. It's a lot of what makes Wally concerning, especially if he ever gets his finger back and stops being bound to the Strands of Khra.
The Infestation is a spin on that same theme... except it's terrifying for the exact opposite reason. This Eldritch Being that our minds cannot begin to comprehend in its entireity... loves us. It loves us so much that it wants to be close to us... on a cellular level. The horror is that it wants us... but it fundamentally can't understand us, either. Its efforts to do so in spite of its limitations... aren't pleasant.
I think Wally's got a bit of that going on too, what with all his creepy clones going around trying to be other people to understand those people. Trying to discover empathy by taking the literal dictionary definition of "putting yourself in somebody else's place"... and then using it on a bunch of people with really warped world views.
My gamer theory on wally is that he feeds on potential, on possibility, what can be. If that makes sense.
So anything that limits possibility by locking things into a certain timelines is a no-go for him.
My interpretation of the zariman scene was not only him culling off all your "possibility" but devouring it.
Big theory, I don't have solid evidence for this.
Counter: wally collapsed all versions of baro into a single one
Wally axing off all versions of the Operator/Drifter down to only two
Is it Aoiâs powers or the radiation that kills Aoi?
That doesnât answer anything
Strain from being too inexperienced at being magnetism
Makes sense
how do i repent for accidentally making amir sad
It wasn't even inexperience, She was trying so hard to do the task she thought she needed that she didn't think outside the box and realize she was doing extra work.
but yeah literally popped her brain from strain
what is this and what do I do about it
Wait to get attacked
Attack them
ight
The Grustrag have a penalty for getting beat by them
So does Zanukia hunter
Basically, if you work for the grineer for 5 invasion missions, you get marked by zanuka, which means there's a low chance zanuka will show up in a corpus tileset to try and capture you. if you get caught, you're transported to jupiter and have to try to escape. if you kill it, you might get a Detron weapon part.
If you work for the corpus for 5 invasion missions, you get marked by the grustrag 3, which means there's a low chance they'll show up in a grineer tileset to try and nerf you. if they down you successfully, they'll put an ascaris negator on you, which cuts your stats. if you beat em, you get might get a multishot mod, a Brakk part, and a compenent for an orbiter ship.
spoider scene from octavia anthem quest.
whoever made this quest gameplay i really dislike you :/
Fr
It took me too long and it was soooo confusing because I got it thing right
Like the points and got rid of all the red ones
It made me do like 5 laps and that thing feels long and never ending because it's in a circle
Its a cool set peice tho
Its cool but i hope it was 1 staged instead of 3 staged
And in top of that you have to it 3 times XD
Spoider XD i meant spoiler*
Fr
at least it's cool when the music syncs up
I often forget just how amazing there key art is for update can be.
I'm curious. The old peace. How they managed to make that school for sentients and tenno.
When was builded and by whom.
And how sentients came in contact first time with tenno or normal human became a tenno.
How they managed to make that school for sentients and tenno. When was builded and by whom.
Find out in the Old Peace I guess?
And how sentients came in contact first time with tenno
During the Old War, probably before the Old Peace for you to be sent as a representative for the Orokin
or normal human became a tenno.
We know this. They are child survivors of the Zariman incident, given void powers from The Man in The Wall after you make a deal with him
Does hidden message and the man in the wall have some connection maybe.
Why would it?
đ€ did you ever tried to play hidden message there it told about the word man in the wall
Itâs a simple quest about a Warframe that fought Sentients before Wally even made an appearance in the story, somehow I doubt thereâs anything to do with him
Are you talking about the riddle that mentions ancient gods?
It was three years before even Chains of Harrow
Because thatâs about the Greek gods, not anything Warframe, to nod to Greece and Mars both having Olympus
Yea but what is interesting it's that we will see again in the flesh the old peace like a protoframe.
But only a dream I hope
??
Warrframes
????
What are you even talking about anymore
I'm guessing it was grown like the rest of the oroken towers we have encountered. Yaa that's a fact for ya they grown not made.
Was having some fun with perspective during âThe New Warâ
awesome! Kinda reminds me of how they depict Spidey sense in some Spider-Man comics
Oh yeah!
still sad they patched this bug
lettie: "it's impossible to think like a god so dont act like you know it >:("
eleanor: "if that thing so much as thinks about it i'll kill it myself"
What was this for?
idk, a chat i had with lettie about the indifference had her get annoyed or something at a "what i'd do in its shoes" hypothetical
meanwhile a chat i just had with eleanor sounded like she was ready to kill god
I once had a chat with aoi that said that if I remember right said that we have one of wallys fingers in our railjack
Yeah
Weâve been able to see it for years
Ever since we installed it actually
Like the game shows it to you
It taps the glass
I never knew thats what it was honestly. Could never see it
I remember when we had no idea why there was a finger in there lol
