  1. I upgraded to Master so I could have a say in the development. I find myself invested in this game both creatively and financially, hoping that my meager contribution makes a difference.

    It’s not about what you get out of it, but how much you want to put in, I feel.

  2. Running from high-level Infested with buddies. Get to elevator, playing my Rhino so tanking like a boss.

    Buddy hits the button by accident before I get on.

    No problem, I thought. Iron skin will buy me time.

    A Disrupter and Healer bomb around the corner.

    O hai, I'll take that energy, thanks.

    Afuris fire? No problem - says the healer.

    I die in a pile of infected.

  3. Hey Devs,

    I noticed last night that I was getting shot while running from a fight. I was a little confused, but when I saw Corpus laser bolts hitting me through a wall (like a map wall, not an in-map piece of cover) I figured something may be a little off.

    Anyone else seeing this issue?

  4. People who activate Elevators because they are impatient annoy me.

    Granted, I have done it a couple times on accident, but I always apologize in chat and stay in the lift to go back up and get them. Usually happens when someone joins my game and I don't notice.

  5. You could always break out the old English language - if you wish to respond and remain intellegent sounding.

    "I hear that many knaves hath frequented the bedchambers of thine parents, sir."

    Or my favorite from Chivalry so far;

    "Brother, doth thou even hoist?"

  6. It was a fifteen minute doodle :)

    And Silver, your frame looks great, but I'd roll with a sleeker, less angled approach. There's a lot of vectors on there.

    I agree. I was thinking something more in line with How the Loki looks, only a touch thinner; a bit more... 'mage' like.

  7. I am having a hard time finding a character for the Volt. The next one I am writing is the Loki, and coming up with how to portray his character while being in the same 'samurai-esqe' mind frame of the others is hard.

    Perhaps a perfectionist in destruction, a force of nature balancing between pure destruction and enforced order?

    Hmmm… I don’t know. Justice seems too... messy for the Tenno. It is easily interpreted to be more than what it was originally intended for. I see the Volt as a doer; some kind of unstoppable weapon in the hands of the Lotus. Like a gun, it does not have wants of its own, but rather prides itself on its efficiency.

    EDIT: Damnit it, that just gave me his character. Now I have to write it! Argh!

  8. Lotus could be a name of a rank or social station as well.

    I know I used the term Samurai before in an explanation, but think of it this way;

    The term 'Samurai' is used as not only a singular, but also as a plural. The word fits in well, and it describes the bearer of the title in more than one way. In one hand it means 'servant' or 'one who serves' but as the years progress, it has been associated with the word 'Soldier', 'Class' and 'social-economic position.'

    The Lotus is used in the same sense the word Grineer or Corpus is – at least in this case. The Lotus is the name of the faction the Tenno belong to, a group of revived warriors, all fighting for a cause. Perhaps the leaders of the Lotus, (these sisters perhaps) are not Tenno themselves, but rather use them as their fighting force?

    In the use 'The Lotus will be pleased...”

    Could be read as, “The organization you fight for will be pleased.”
