  1. We don't have enough info.

     

    It was a metaphor. This hypothesis is crushed by Ember's and Excalibur's codex entries; the Tenno are living, breathing beings of flesh and blood.

     

    Ninja'd by the ningentleman above.

     

    Do you mean the Rhino Prime one? The Excalibur one just says twisted things came back from the void and the Ember one had an Orokin woman see children on a derelict ship and was horribly scarred by one.

     

    Based on those two alone it could have been Void ghosts. Rhino is the one that had a zombie like monster using Rhino's powers.

  2. question: Will there be any special reward at the end of spy 2.0 ?

     

    It does seem like a good mode for rewards. Give it two pools of rewards, one for a run where alarms sound and a better one for total stealth success, then grant one per vault hacked!

  3. And an ammo mutation on either gun actually does make it impossible to run out of ammo. All the launcher ammo change did was require you to equip an ammo mutation mod on one of your two weapons. Stupid nerf, it should just be reverted (or make launchers consume 5 pistol ammo per shot).

     

    That's kind of the point though. Ammo mutation and ammo drops are items they made so you can actively prevent yourself from running out of ammo with inneficient weapons.

     

    Just having effectively infinite ammo from the start defeats the purpose of having ammo at all.

  4. Ah, memories... And to think they let a child drive a giant robot monster to fight other giant monsters. Ha. Haha.

     

    Remember, it wasn't like they had a choice. Only people born after The Impact had the ability to join with an Eva and produce an AT field. Without an AT field they couldn't neutralize the Angel's.

     

     

    Edit: I think any appearances related to Tron are just coincidences since both take inspiration from a fairly generic ipod space future aesthetic.

     

    Warframes much more closely resemble Eva's and Gyvers while Grineer borrow from Warhammer 40k if anything.

  5. Game's not perfect. You're a founder, you probably know that as well as anyone.

     

     

    The tenno aren't warrior gods murderizing everything with a touch though. It's a desperate struggle against the Grineer and the Corpus, and what makes the tenno better is that they're smarter and faster, not just tougher and killing-er.

     

     

    Lots of people don't enjoy power fantasy games.

     

    It's not really a desperate struggle. It's just that the Corpus and Grineer can recoup their forces fast enough to keep on trucking regardless of what the infinitely superior Tenno do. Every major conflict we've had so far ended far in our favour.

     

    And lots of people do. This game doesn't have to cater to everyone.

  6. I don't know what triggers Ruk and I've never fought Hek, so you could be right on them.

     

    Ruk is triggered when he uses one of his "heavy" attacks, like the blast wave or the World on Fire.

     

    Hek just closes his facemask after taking a certain amount of damage. He opens it again after using his energy drain ability.

  7. That's been discussed before but DE isn't sure about it. Mostly because it A: more than doubles the work and B: what if someone prefers the original look?

  8. But I'm really wondering, what happens to the Balor Fomorians that destroy a relay? Do they just hang out at that planet, out-of-sight, or do they like go back to some station (possibly in the void) or safe location where they can perform repairs?

     

    That's my guess. They probably go guard whatever station they've hidden the Queens on.

  9. As someone who has been playing this game since Beta

     

    This pisses me off. Saying you've been playing since Beta does not give you special significance or weigh your opinions more heavily. I've been playing since closed Beta too and I think the Soma P is perfect where it is.

  10. Railguns were practically made to be able to accelerate projectiles faster than an explosive charge of a regular bullet can. If you don't take advantage of that, having a railgun is utterly pointless and you should be using a regular weapon.

     

    The target muzzle velocity of military railguns is stated on Wikipedia: "...typical military railgun designs aim for muzzle velocities in the range of 2000–3500 m/s..."

     

    That's roughly double of what you find on conventional weaponry.

     

    Again, the ones in Warframe are shooting Plasma, as evidenced by the Lanka. There could be good reasons not to make it too fast that we don't know, that's the problem when dealing with hypothetical technology like this it depends entirely on the writer/designer/animator.

     

    Note that although it says it fires a slug the Velocitus deals magnetic damage, not physical so it can't work like a real-world railgun.

  11. It's not hitscan but it is very fast. I like the feel of it, it's my favourite Archwing weapon so far.

     

    As for some of the complaints, why do people think railguns are automatically very fast? It's true that they often are but it just means the projectile is accelerated by parallel conducting rails. The projectile doesn't need to be hypersonic slugs, it can be the subsonic plasmoids that the Warframe railguns shoot just as easily.

     

    I can understand complaining for gameplay reasons (even though I disagree) but don't say it's just because it's a railgun.

     

    If you want to complain about a weapon with travel time, we should focus on the new one. That thing is waaaaay too sluggish to be useful.

  12. The Grineer must be pretty happy about finally getting one through on the Tenno even if Strata ends up being the only Relay they manage to destroy. What do you think the Glorious Queens will do to mark the occasion?

     

    Personally I want them to add a Fomorian to the orbital view of Earth and have it launch fireworks forever!
