  1. It was a comment by Steve, either on a Devstream or a personal stream. All the Sentients had been in the system already, they were just dormant and waiting to get the call for mobilization that Natah was supposed to send out at the end of the Old War without Ballas' interference and The Lotus personality forming. The Void is something they can't adapt to at all, thus why brief exposure resets them. Being wholesale in the Void just fully kills them, as seen in Octavia's Anthem where Hunhow had to co-opt Suda to create shielding for his fragments to enter a Void Tower, and even then were still slowly dying, thus they're "Decaying". Sterile here is that they can't make more individual Sentient minds like Hunhow, Natah, The Plains Sentient, etc. They can make fragments all day from those spawning pools on the Murex, but they're all just mindless drones, no autonomy or initiative.
  2. All our Void stuff works with regulation from the Heart, essentially a dam. What the Zariman is plugging is just a straight up hole, no regulation, unlimited flow.
  3. Praghasa isn't a new fleet, she made the same initial jump as everyone else. She's so wrecked because she's the reason the Sentients only went sterile instead of straight up dying by taking the brunt of the Void Energy onto herself.
  4. Note, DE have specifically said that the form we see in the New War is just a constructed appearance, like him copying the Operator or Albrecht.
  5. No, Corvid is closer to correct. The Sentients only got stage an attack on Lua because of Ballas giving them the information and codes about the Reservoir, this coming from Varzia dialogue about who gave the Sentients the location.
  6. Well no, it's a consequence of the deal because we don't get out of the Void otherwise, see Drifter. No deal, no getting out of the void, Duvirir happens instead. And somehow a saving grace of the Orokin, they didn't use child soldiers either. Not that we would've, the Zariman families may not have been Orokin, but they'd still have to be upper standing to be considered worthy of colonizing and getting a proper education. Plus the Old War is many years after the Zariman to begin with, we wouldn't have been involved flat out without getting our powers.
  7. They can't exist at the same time in real space. The handshake scene happens in the Void, out of reality. And even that isn't a sure thing since their one actual meeting starts to fall apart in minutes because only one of them can go back into reality proper to finish things. I'll give you about the events of the Zariman accident, us having to kill our parents isn't a direct consequence of the deal like that, but everything else very much is. The Orokin fiding us and experimenting on us is very much a consequence of that deal. Us being able to empathize with frames to control them (and thus forced to become soldiers) is a consequence of that deal. There's no happy ending here when everything about taking the deal has just lead to us and others suffering.
  8. And we've been dealing with them. Having to kill our parents, nearly being killed without intervention from Margulis, being forced to become child weapons, forced into a dream state to be compliant, Orokin attempting to bodyjack us. And overall having to be the only thing keeping the solar system from falling apart. And now our Devil is back to collect on whatever their end of the deal was. Everything presented about our powers continues to emphasize "you got powers and bad S#&$ happened because of it". They did make space. It's literally why the only time Operator and Drifter can share screen time was in a mental dreamscape (or just plain old out of reality in the Void). The entire point of the final choice in Act 2 is the fact that Drifter and Operator cannot exist in reality at the same time, also shown when the moment Operator came back, Drifter got kicked out. Only one of them can finish the rest.
  9. It's not mary-sue, it's a classic Deal with the Devil trope. We get powers we can't control from a being we know is antagonistic for some unknown purpose. Drifter gets powers because they're us, just in a different font. It's a knock on effect from them getting to jump into our universe, something that only happens after we get kicked out into the Void and make the space. It's not a choice, it's a consequence.
  10. And what's your proof of that? There's no way to tell how many a players ctually got the frame in that timeframe, or any timeframe. We have 50 plus frames in this game with teens of thousands of people playing at any given moment. I rarely see frames popular frames like Gauss, or Wisp, or even Saryn when I play, does that mean they're all garbage?
  11. As yes, saying they're bad on completely anecdotal belief. Couldn't be because both of them are only really available way late into the game, Voruna a bit more forgiving, but still. There's literally no reason to assume most of the playerbase has access to them between the usual RNG of farming for Voruna and people not wanting to deal with Khal for Styanax.
  12. The only person who the mausoleum Island was significant to was Thrax. No one else had any idea what the deal with is was or why there are makeshift dolls instead of proper grave sites.
  13. No, it's specific that they had to rephase back into Martian orbit, Loid saying so before getting cut off. It's the same deal as Lua, inbuilt tech that allows it to hide.
  14. No, it is just that they don't change usage. Pablo specifically brought up the Nezha rework as the example, where his usage only changed by like, 1 percent or so. You could also through in Zephyr, though we don't really have the numbers for that. Reworks just don't change numbers that much unless they grant a ridiculous buff in power like Wukong's was.
  15. It's the exact opposite. Narmer has been kicked out of every center of power without the main leader. They're the guerilla force.
  16. There isn't, but we also don't have a case of an embodiment making another embodiment. Yonta is the closest, but Skittergirl could have been made at the same time Yonta was, just another situation like Duviri.
  17. No, they are embodiments. DE has specifically said in a recent primetime the other people in Duviri are also facets of Drifter's emotions. Two kids are compassion and frustration. The prisoner we rescue is optimism. A wandering bard is loneliness, and so on. Drifter is the one who made everybody, Dominus just took control when they feel into their apathy loop.
  18. Note, only Duviri and the Holdfasts are Conceptual Embodiment. Operator is...maybe, but Warframe powers aren't, they're just tech and Infestation.
  19. That what the story all but says though. We know Drifter is the one that made Duviri which is why we can reverse time to bring Teshin back, and we know Dominus is based on a doll accompanying the book of story Duviri is based on. Also the little things we get from the lore fragments and other characters, like Dominus not being the first King.
  20. I'm not sure how you got that when every major narrative that is pointing towards exploring The Man in the Wally (as well as DE flat out saying that Wally is the focus of the story now). It's what makes this Completely baseless. The system very much aren't veiled. We kicked Narmer in the teeth and they lost just about everything they had. They're still big enough to have a presence, are massively outnumbered. The Zariman is just blocking a hole. Duviri is an entirely separate existence. Neither are connected to the other like that. That's not quite it. Yonta and the Holdfasts have nothing to do with Eternalism, they exist because the Void can make manifestations of emotions and memory. The stay on the Zariman because of duty, and it having the Void Energy they maintained themselves with before the Tenno came along.
  21. For anything DE may have caved on, and I'll need to double-check on pets because I've never heard DE being against them, there are at least two things they haven't budged on, like augment slots or universal vacuum. It's not about technical limitations, it's about how they envision the game working. They've always been upfront on whichever it might be.
  22. For Warframe, it does. You don't look at the spikes, you look at the average. 60k to 70k is where WF has always been, fluctuating down when things are slow, and going up when there's an update. DE is well aware of people only check out an update before leaving again. They aren't trying to keep those numbers, they're trying to make sure the people that actually play stick around, which they're excelling at.
  23. DE have specifically said they won't add melee weapons to Operator/Drifter for regular gameplay. It's the entire reason they changed Void Blast to just be a frame quick melee. DE does not want frames and Op mode to overlap like that, likely meaning no regular guns, and thus why New War Drifter only exists in a single mode with limited frame use.
  24. Yeah no. If they're gonna do anything with Stalker it won't be retroactively changing story beats. We already know how Drifter pays back the help they got, it's the entirety of New War Act Two and them saving the Lotus.
