    Do we need a secret syndicate behind a story syndicate behind a secret syndicate behind a story syndicate?
    There are two close doors that doesn't seem to lead anywhere in the hub, I am fairly sure if you go during the quest the screen turns black and kicks you back

    I'll be honest, I was totally expecting more of the Quills to appear. They're pretty secretive still.

    Spoiler

    Bird-3 as the founding member?

  2. As a basic story skip, I'm totally opposed, but I thought of a way to improve the idea of one without losing too much in the deal. I thought about how to really DE/Warframe-ize the idea of a story skip, and here's what I came up with.

    My idea had to hit 3 points:
    Significantly reduce the time it would take to run the story so new and returning players can catch up to the newest content.
    Leverage existing work for things like mechanics and sounds to dramatically reduce development time.
    Provide players that did not skip with something of value so that there's an enticement for everybody.

    Solution:
    Interactive Motion Comics that are also Orbiter decorations.

    With the 3 points in mind I thought about other situations in gaming where players would want to get caught up on the story, but doing so through the original means was time consuming or off-putting. Dragon's Age came to mind and saved the day. Specifically Dragon Age Inquisition and their little motion comic tool that allowed you to revise the events in the previous two games quickly and easily. I figure that this idea is perfect for Warframe.

    Each quest would have its own 'Thread of Fate' (WF name: I dunno Moirai Chapter?) that could be purchased for Platinum. This would give the purchaser the option in the Codex to watch/interact with a motion comic version of the quest in order to complete it. This way the narrative is not completely lost for players that want to get through it, but still understand it. It would also allow for faster recaps for players that might want to revisit a story point. It would reuse the mechanic seen in the Waverider quest with its comic and would use sounds and voices from the quest to flesh it out.

    To provide the extra value for players that have done the quest, it could be used as a way to allow players to change their quest choices (probably in a limited fashion?) and provide an Orbiter decoration that when interacted with will also allow the player to play out just the comic.

  3. I do believe that Albrecht has switched bodies in his lifetime, and has taken the Kuva multiple times. I interpret his logs at the Necralisk to have a MASSIVE (thousands of years) gap between the Khra and Netra logs where a lot of scientific progress is made. The Netra and Lohk logs being the final logs before he got into the... Tomb / Sarcophagus / Ornamental treasure chest thing. That's why he mentions not taking the Kuva. He plans to move forward in time by a different method than living it. (Suspended animation, void shenanigans, whatever)

    Kalymos has also probably taken the Kuva, and might even be the first test subject.

    As for why 1999? I think that's when his initial void experiment was. Except via eternalism, it's that one where the experiment actually failed instead and unleashed some kind of technocyte virus and the events are important to the Tenno timeline. (Though I also suppose we could be watching/playing when the initial Excalibur and Mag frames were created and the people those were before.)

    not only do i get logged out of the forums all the time, the language of the forum keeps partially changing between english, french and russian.
    Happens on PC and on mobile.

    I've also had this happen a couple of time lately on three different devices. In my case though, the forums loaded up in Chinese before reloading again and switching to English.

  5. I just had this happen not more than 10 minutes before making this post.
    Joined a 90/100 flotilla. They had 8 ground / 4 space. I hosted a space. Dropped the satellite and headed into the Murex. 3 others joined. We all dropped OpLinks, but never received any Kill Codes. The flotilla ended up completing the remaining 10. We did not receive notification in-mission that this occurred. We were not able to use the Navigation on the RJ to extract.

    DE should definitely add an toggle option which allows you to change all energy colors of your teammates (and specters) to yours or a specific one. Only visually, for you, of course. No impact on other players.

    I can get behind this idea. I use atomic pink for my energy colors for prime visibility, and I know that on some frames/weapons the effect can be horrific to look at for others.

    Don't spoil the secret technique!

    I posted about it months ago:

    It works with more than daggers, but I've found daggers to be king.

    I think the lich at the end of my video in the post made a good point: I can hear the survivors screaming in terror!
