  1. It's implied by Natah's memories that the entire Praghasa Dynasty attacked the solar system during the Old War -- meaning Hunhow, Erra, Natah, and Praghasa herself. After Erra's first death on Lua and Hunhow's defeat on Uranus, Praghasa retreated to the oort cloud
  2. Distinction without a difference. And with the venom I hear Ticker throw behind it? No he's talking about Hell
  3. Actually I need to half-retract my theory. Because you weren't wrong. @Atsia pointed out the holes in my theory and @Metalgearfox helped out as well. So I went back to double-check: Duviri was manifested inside the Void based on a storybook the player character read as a kid... before the Zariman Incident. The player arrives in Duviri years later as an adult Drifter. This is where the passage of time gets weird, and it's why I retract my previous statement and say you weren't wrong to say it also qualifies as a dream sequence Regarding the earlier point that lead us here, the Void as a whole is still clearly Hell in Warframe, symbolically if not literally. Call of the Tempestari is about chasing another "Flying Dutchman" ghost ship in and out of the Void, and the "Sleeping in the Cold Below" sea shanty is a throwback to tales about Davy Jones' Locker. People in Fortuna sometimes use the phrase "to the Void with you" in the same way we would say "to Hell with that."
  4. OK you and I are very clearly reading this differently. My interpretation is the Scholar came before the Drifter. Because the Scholar came before a lot of islands (namely Cornucopia) were shattered and floated away, islands that have already ceased to exist by the time Drifter starts going through his torturous time loops. That's the way I read it
  5. I just checked every patch note from before I started playing, including the closed beta. The only listed change to power efficiency, was fixing a bug where it wasn't being applied to "toggleable" abilities. So if power efficiency was ever nerfed from 90 to 75, it was an unlisted stealth nerf
  6. Another factor to keep in mind: writers do not care about this nearly as much as we do. Not just in Warframe, but in general. Did you know there is STILL no official consensus on how time travel worked in Avengers Endgame? The biggest superhero movie of all time and they didn't even come to an agreement on how their time travel/multiverse model works, yet they went ahead and made the movie anyway. That is how little writers care about time travel and multiverse theory, as long as they can still do the important character moments they do care about. As for Warframe, I can tell they don't care because we spend a grand total of zero seconds in alternate universe in Warframe. Never seen, never explored. They only exist to bring the Drifter into the story. "Hey how do we get the Drifter into the player's arsenal? Oh I know, I'll create an ENTIRE MULTIVERSE just to introduce one new 3D model for an existing character"
  7. I agree with everything except this. Ballas loved Margulis, but he also hated her. And he hated her because she genuinely loved us. Meaning that she really did want to help us, her work was only perverted into manipulation and control after she died
  8. See that's the thing: if you find all the lore codices it's revealed Duviri existed before the Drifter did, and that Dominus Thrax was not the first king of Duviri. There are things in Duviri that the Drifter manifested, but Duviri itself is not one of them Yes they are human (at least the humans are human), and yes you can be resurrected if the Chaos Gods find you amusing enough
  9. I'm going to need a source on this claim because I've been playing since February 2015, a full year before the channeled ability rework, and even back then Efficiency was hard-capped at 175%
  10. I was around when Exalted Blade was added, and Efficiency has ALWAYS been capped at 75%. It was never able to reach 90 And....nothing has really changed about Exalted Blade since then anyway. Excalibur in 2016 functioned pretty much the same as he did three days ago when I used him in the Circuit
  11. The Void as a whole existed LONG before the Drifter/Player Character was ever born. That was the point of the Zariman expedition. As for Duviri specifically, lore fragments have the narrator very clearly describing Duviri existing before the Drifter arrived. In order for Duviri to be the Drifter's creation it would need to be the result of a "Last Thursday" logic bomb I don't quite remember which part of the lore first implied souls ending up in the Void before, but the Zariman confirmed it once and for all: souls end up in the Void. The Holdfasts are dead ghosts, and Void Angels are demons wrought iron human souls This is more or less exactly how it works in 40k too, in case you were actually curious. The Warp is simultaneously an alternate dimension and the afterlife, and it's actively malicious and trying to kill you. You can travel through it for FTL travel, but if you aren't properly shielded you will die horribly as the Warp subjects you to its own laws of physics incompatible with what your body is used to. Your thoughts, emotions, and traumas manifest in the Warp as literal demons, but a rare breed of human can channel energy from the Warp to cast spells. The only real difference is Warframe only has one Wally, while 40k has four
  12. Afterlife, not dream. The Void is Hell. They're doing the 40k thing where FTL travel is just taking a shortcut through Hell, only for Hell to figure out what you're up to and starts trying to screw with you... Case in point (spoilered because of stuff that happens in New War): With that in mind I think it actually becomes a lot less abstract, and thus the pieces fit together better
  13. That part is speculation, but with how HUGE Praghasa is, why wouldn't they ride in her? Kinda missing my point: if we were to treat gameplay as canon (which DE sometimes does) Hunhow has unlimited fragments. No end to the legions of -lysts he can throw at us, and then regenerate after. But as both you and I point out, that does contradict New War, where Hunhow is either out of -lysts or only has a handful left (I forget if there were any Sentients in that Sealab or not) and Natah is in even worse shape
  14. Detron Crewman synthesis. "To travel the rails [Void based transportation] would destroy them." So unfortunately... No. When the Praghasa family jumped into the Void rail, they were taking a risk they would all die for nothing. Going sterile but otherwise remaining battle-ready was them getting off easy This depends what's still canon. In the Natah quest, Hunhow is still actively generating fresh waves of Battalysts and Conculysts on the regular, which is the exact opposite your theory. However, the damage Natah is unable to heal from in New War would prove your theory correct This is, of course, assuming we even know how Sentient biology works in the first place
  15. A "spiral" is just what narrator is talking to you during the free roam (obnoxious angry guy, obnoxious greedy guy, obnoxious sad girl, obnoxious scared girl, or obnoxious happy girl) This one is a you problem, because the decrees TELL YOU in plain English text what they do
  16. It is indeed Brutal and I don't know why DE is OK with it Your fastest way to get bonds isn't to run the full bounty. It's to run stage 1 of the bounty then immediately abort. Stage 1 of the bounty has 25% chance to give bonds, but stages 2 and 3 only have 12% and the final stage has 0% Besides that, however, I find Cetus and Fortuna easy to get just the base standing on because of the side activities: fishing and animal conservation. Stovers and Kubrodons are worth THOUSANDS of standing, and a good pile of fish in either town can still get you hundreds.
  17. This is sci-fi where the Grineer can tow a Fomorian between Ceres and Pluto in four days. If the devs want to say the Sentients can move between Tau and Earth in 25 years, then it only takes 25 years
  18. OK that I admit I missed. But that still feels more like "battle of Coruscant" kind of situation, where the Sentients only launched that surprise attack precisely BECAUSE they were losing overall.
  19. I'm pretty sure it happened the other way around The Sentients pushed the Orokin all the way back to Earth and Lua. At this point the Orokin decided "it's either use the Void Devils or die" so they deployed the Void Devils (us) as a last resort. Your player character kills Erra, we retake Lua, and the Tenno start kicking ace and taking names all the way back to Pluto, while also being used as police as the home front widens (Vauban and Lavos). Lastly we hop onto the Sentient Interstellar Rail and do... Something in Tau. Whatever it is we do, we win, we arrive back in Outer Terminus as decorated heroes who won the War (Stalker lore)... And of course, the Outer Terminus Massacre starts there (also the Stalker lore)
  20. The Sentients are closer to the Matrix robots than any kind of Grey Goo. If you want Grey Goo, you look at the Infested and their Technocyte spores (at least their older lore, these days they act more like Dead Space). Sentients are attack drones, not nanomachines, and the attacks used by Battalysts and Mimics are very definitely lasers
  21. This is buried in the Mag Prime codex, but we the Tenno might have... already destroyed Tau during the Old War. Maybe not all the way, but enough to say that we "won" the War. Actually while we're talking about that: The narrator in the Mag Prime codex described the Tau system's star as "alien blue" that was simultaneously "dark and blinding." This is a departure from the real Tau Ceti which is a yellow-tinted white dwarf like the Sun, but after Uranus it's clear the devs will just make whatever they want up and it's not actually a problem because we don't care
  22. He's supposed to have three primary attacks: homing leech missiles, electric orbs, and fire blast. Mutalist ads are supposed to spawn, but at the very edge of the arena and their aggro range is too small to come help Jordas, because Archwing.
  23. The changes in so much of the engine in the last... Seven years, wow, have really done a number on the Jordas fight First off, Imperator used to be hitscan, so hitting him was less frustrating. Archwings didn't have Blink (except Itzal, but fighting Jordas as Itzal was a terrible idea) so you couldn't just immediately park yourself in a blind spot and shoot him; he would actually get to attack you, and you would have to dodge it But he was also harder to kill so that dragged the fight out. And speaking of which... Juggernauts used to suck eggs. They were tedious and boring to fight, their models and attacks did not line up with their hitboxes, they were cowardly jerks who could turtle and stop exposing their weak points altogether. They were just a mess that managed to be worse than Archwing fights
  24. So did I. But according to the Wiki it's only one random part each time, and not all four parts. So it seems to just be luck
  25. Um, a hound core IS a part. They should be the Adlet/Garmr/Raiju blueprints. Are you not getting any of those?
