Tennocon 2019 revealed two warframes in the making, one of which was Grendel. He originates from an epic poem about Beowulf where he fights with three enemies.
First was Grendel. Grendel was a monster who terrorised the land of Hrothgar, king of the Danes. Beowulf hears of this and offers his assistance in killing Grendel, and so it was done. Hrothgar was grateful to Beowulf to such an extent that he decided to treat Beowulf as his son, even claiming that all his wealth is Beowulf's. The Danes and Beowulf's tribe, the Geats, partied in Hrothgar's mead hall. Beowulf was given gold and a house, in which he lived comfortably.
After a while, Grendel's unnamed mother decided to avenge her son. She attacked the hall and killed its men while they were sleeping. The king mourned the dead, but Beowulf didn't join in. Instead, he reasoned it would be a better use of their time to find and kill Grendel's mother. Somehow inspired by his words, the king organized a small army to kill Grendel's mother in her home. For some strange reason, she decided to reside in a lake. Beowulf and the mother fight until she nearly kills him before he happens to find a sword nearby and stabs her. He then decapitated Grendel, whose corpse was brought back to the mother's lair. Beowulf went home and became king of his own people.
Now at this point, reading more of the poem is a big hassle. These old poets are very good at stretching a story further than they should. In short, a slave stole from a dragon and the dragon decided the best course of action was to burn everything in sight. Beowulf confronted the dragon by himself, but soon learned that a dragon was too much for him to take on alone. One of his friends saw that the battle wasn't going well and decided to join in. Beowulf was dealt a mortal blow, but they slayed the dragon before he died.
A hero of this calibre would make an interesting addition to the warframe universe. It did take a whole dragon to finally kill him.

It would have to be PSO2 for me. Warframe came out about a year after PSO2 and are both in the sci-fi genre and are dungeon crawler type games. I think it would be interesting to see their mechanics mix.

Well yes there are things to improve but unfortunately most of the things that would work best would revolve around either pvp or efforr from players, which as you can see from Nightwave complaints is a tough one lol. By pvp I mean for example a sports league you can setup, invite other clans to etc competing on a weekly ladder in a better game than lunaro (god forbid) and by player effort I mean things like exclusive cosmetics, medals etc for clan participation things like "donate 1 million nano spores" for example. That kind of thing could promote more activity. Currently the only reasons for visiting the dojo are to grab the latest research, trade and see the pretty rooms in a decorated dojo. Using the dojo as a launch step for Railjack ie adding on a main hangar bay with optional add ons like defensive turrets, shields, blastdoors as well as a variety of tenno pilotable ships, would be a good way to increase dojo activity and thus clan interaction.
That's not true though since many veterans can see the huge potential in Railjack for exploration and resource gathering for the clan and its members. The idea of alerts that the entire clan can participate in which yields higher resource drop quantity and chance with X(10,000) number of a specific resource as a reward. Perhaps planet & asteroid capturing, where it works like an invasion mission specifically for clans only, where we can deploy a massive fomorian looking extractor that will extract the planet or asteroids with its drones for all its resources and share them among clan members over time. PvP isn't going to ever be fun unless we can use everything we've got. That's what other games do right and what Warframe does wrong, so PvE should still be our main focus and what better way than to involve clans. There are rather a lot of downsides to being a Moon clan VS being a Storm clan, since the resource costs for literally everything is multiplied by 100x, so either allowing Moon clans to get even bigger by becoming Sun clans without increasing the resource cost all that much or by introducing these improvements and additions to the game for clans, would make being a Moon clan and joining larger communities more popular and flexible too, since Moon clans are the best at keeping players playing the game, but there are only a limited amount of things we can do to keep things up and running all the time before the average amount of active members drop back down to 60 throughout the day.

Community mostly. Our moon clan is quite active and friendly and I see them all the time when checking on them, in group chat discussing the game or running missions together.
As for the research side, we built 4 moon clans all fully researched and funded by a clan leader. In the past year I've funded the research for 2 dojos, rip my mutagen samples...
It sounds like you've done very well, but don't you think there are problems with the clan system that could use improvement? Not all clans are able to achieve what you have. Most would have to kick folks after 1-3 days inactivity and recruit again constantly in order to maintain that activeness, as well as having to remove those who do not contribute and many warlords don't want to be a slave driver, so this improvement is mostly out of consideration for our clan members and our large communities as a whole. The alliance we are a part of is the largest alliance in Warframe and by far the largest community making up 1/3rd of its active population. We strive to keep things fun and engaging, and fairly successful at it, so we would like to see these improvements made.

This is why my clan has ranks and challenges required to obtain those ranks.
And many large moon clans do as well, but the point being made here is that there are far more negatives to being a moon clan than any positives at all, which is why it might be better to increase the size or improve everything else. The idea of having a larger clan is to lighten up the load and burden on individual members. Otherwise, where's the appeal in having Moon Clans?
-
As an added bonus, the extractor's deployment could be it's own event, where playesrs try to keep it alive; basically the opposite of fomorian invasions.

First of all, Sun tier. With the upcoming Railjack update, why take the opportunity to expand the size of clans? I suggest something along the lines of 3,000 members as the limit. Something should also be done with the resource costs of building new rooms and decorations in the dojo. I suggest lowering the base cost or at least the multipliers of each tier; the reason being, these costs are highly detrimental to higher tiered clans. Moon clans, for example, can have up to 1000 members but the amount of people that actually contribute may not even reach triple digits. Just imagine the cost of the Railjack update on big clans. This brings me to my next topic.
Clan participation is lower than it should be. The only way this can be remedied currently is to kick the inactive players and hope the next one to be recruited does better. Being forced to do something is not fun and forcing someone to do something is not an efficient use of time. Instead of punishment, why not put in an incentive to participate in the clan? This is where clan extractors and clan alerts come into play. Clans could select a node and begin an "invasion" of sorts. Only the upper echelon would be able to do this. Once the node is secured, the invasion spreads out to more nodes until the planet is completely taken. They can select the base level of enemies on that node and have the resources earned scale according to that level. Once every node is taken, an extractor is deployed that lasts for a week. It will give rewards to everyone who participated and a large amount of resources from the planet go into the vault once it expires.
More participation means more resources; a small percentage of those earned resources will go to the clan vault, thus mitigating the amount of farming required if my earlier suggestion doesn't go through.
These are just ideas and I am interested in hearing your thoughts on the matter. DE's as well.
Another possible change:

That's not actually what they said at all. In the last Devstream, Geoff said that they "need an Umbra break", and just said that they are having internal discussions about whether to make more Umbra frames or not.
Personally, I hope that they do not make any more Umbra frames. Lore wise, Excalibur Umbra should remain a unique oddity in the universe. Logistically, Excaliber Umbra fills a variant space left open for the vast majority of the player base, by not having access to Excalibur Prime. This keeps it so most players have only two variants of each frame. With Umbral Forma now being a thing, any frame can become a functional Umbra frame, so is a specific third variant of an existing frame really necessary?
Nah, Steve specifically said that they were going to make a limited number of Umbra frames, 8 more they stated, and many have speculated that they will be the first 8 vanilla frames that Warframe had in OBT launch. We can also infer from the Ember Prime, Mag Prime, and Rhino Prime, codex entries that these three frames will be getting their Umbra variant. In the quest The Sacrifice it is stated that Excalibur Umbra is subject 9, meaning there are 8 other Umbra Warframes. Maybe they changed their minds on this subject, I don't know.

That's if we are getting one at all.
Well a lot of people are expecting , anticipating, and wanting the next Umbra to be Rhino since he was the first and original tank in Warframe and everyone's second frame back during OBT launch. Those were the days when Rhino was the most used warframe and the Hek was the most used primary before they nerfed it so that they couldn't snipe with it lol. Also I heard that DE said they will release more Umbras in their devstreams.
-
I think it would be pretty cool if Rhino Umbra was found on the otherside in the Tau System, still active and alive, and it saves the Tenno who just arrived over there but forced to make a crash landing on its outermost planet. Or maybe we can find a Sentient morphed version of it, like Ballas, and we fight it as an enemy and then scan its remains to get the non-sentient chimera version and the Sentient Chimera Rhino Umbra can be a skin. For its memories it will probably be an in-depth flashback to the events that happened in the Rhino Prime Codex Entry. Any ideas on what the quest should be like?
And what do you think it would look like?

Dear lord the FPS in that video is horrible. What is my clan leader recording with?
-
I would like to see more boss fights like these with real cutscenes of us tearing out the boss's organs and etc in the future, this boss was actually quite fun to fight, very refreshing in the opinion of many in my clan.

This should help speed up the event. Hopefully.

How long do you think it will take to get all the glyphs for that door now that everything is working properly?

I should mention, that is not me in the video. It is someone with the same problem.

It’s a map of the Orb Vallis.
Nice observation. It's part of the map and supposedly reveals a hidden location. DE would not have released it if the only purpose was to recreate a portion of the Orb Vallis map.

Here is something interesting released by DE: https://www.warframe.com/burieddebts/sector/iwpwusfzfy
Feel free to try and solve it. Hope you have better luck than I did.
Edit: It looks like there are four puzzles and The Neko Otaku has the completed map. What an amazing guy.

I just wonder if DE has confirmed if they will create more Umbra Warframes. Since the addition of Umbral Forma, I've seen a few concerns over whether they will continue to release Umbra Frames. That's just unwarranted concern in my opinion but I am a bit curious.

So... OP a royalty, a hive mind or identify as “them”.
My bet is on royalty, since they started their own topic instead of posting in identical ones.
Nah, I'm not important enough to be royalty. I'm just voicing the opinion of a few people around me.

There's literally no lore or story, in contrast to what we were all expecting, our expectations seem to grow the longer it takes so we really just set ourselves up for disappointment. Plus a lot of these "weeklies" should be "dailies" and there needs to be more dailies, since nobody wants to wait a whole week to progress, a lot of us probably wants to get to that Umbra Forma and be done with this and not have to come on until some actual content with real lore/story or endgame content where we finally fight the full force of the Sentients is released.
TL;DR: We hate time locks & cap limits and we would rather get everything done on the day we have time off unless it's actually fun and not something we've been doing for ages now.

It's been so long now but apparently there's little to no use for that room apart from removing cysts. There's content like this all across Warframe that has been made and completely abandoned without being expanded upon. It would be great if such content could be expanded upon.

hmmm....I am surprised there is no clone of the Red King, he would of been great for a boss but turns out his existence doesn't exist but there is clues hinting on the wiki
https://warframe.fandom.com/wiki/Bilsa
https://warframe.fandom.com/wiki/Eviscerator#Variants
and be surpised he list here when I type down Veytok: https://warframe.fandom.com/wiki/Special:Search?query=Veytok
I am pretty sure there is lots secrets to be uncover for the truth, come to think about...to think about it the saw guy could be the red king? Linking all the grineer's codex it might be his DNA is scatter.
I forgot to mention this. There was some new information released (if it even counts as canon) about the Red King. Details are in the edits of my original post.
Since we now have a Grendel, how about a Beowulf?

Grendel did slaughter many of Hrothgar's soldiers and Beowulf himself did take on much more than that. These three are just the big bads that actually gave him trouble.
