Changyou's build has Umbra Prime, not Umbra. The stats and appearance will be slightly different. I would say it's safe to say it won't be an upgrade but it wouldn't make much sense for it to be a downgrade so I guess it will be a sidegrade.
And Changyou's build has Excalibur still with Radial Javelin as its ultimate ability. So the stats should be taken with grain of salt, just having a hunch that DE would make an upgrade so that people will grind for it / or won't moan that it is inferior to the prime.
-
Just comparing Umbra Excal ( the Changyou's build ) to our Excal Prime, there is another slight bump in upgrade in Umbras favor.
Ofcourse DE may change stats, but if it is to believe by the numbers we have seen now, they will be stronger than Prime, which is kinda lame because some people invested a lot of forma's, potatoes and exilus adapters etc in their prime frames.
The only thing that is a mystery is that we do not know Umbras passive, Primes have the orb thingy so devs maybe are thinking to offset it so that Primes will have one extra passive.
In short, i do hope they will be optional sidegrade rather than powercreep stats. -
I will just repost this again if you don't mind:

Balancing a game is probably the most difficult aspect of the game design. You can make game balanced easily by having no variety and everyone having identical, or try to balance with variety and when you add more and more content it is getting more difficult to balance out the old content since it gets sort of thrown behind.
Warframe's main thing is player diversity with weapons and frames. Balancing all of them would need serious stop in new content development which is never profitable for f2p title in order to make MR, weapon / frame balancing as well as tweaking AI and lots of other stuff.
I don't think we will ever see such a massive change, but we may see some small specific tweaks so play with what you want and switch loadouts. -

FF14 is crossplay pc/ps4, Don't see why its not feasible.
Because its PC and PS4. A lot of games do crossplatform with Pc and Console because PC is usually never hurts the market. But Warframe cannot use crossplay like that due to PC version is always pumping updates and hotfixes and consoles needs a lot of time to submit a patch and they fall behind.
Console and Console crossplay usually never happens due to the market competition, I am not saying it is impossible, but at that point its all about MS and Sony and less about DE questioning that since consoles are pretty much always on same versions. -
Console with PC crossplay will never happen due to versions not matching, and with certifications before updating I don't think it ever will.
PS4 and Xbox one crossplay might be possible, but that is ONLY if MS and Sony decide to do that, which at this point I highly doubt that they would want to dabble with the competitors. -
I stopped grinding for Focus when they started slowly nerfing the solo playstyle and started encouraging Draco farming. Yesterday I got a 3h affinity booster and needed to rank up redeemer again so I said why not, and decided to use the frame that I have a lens on.
4 Waves later I get more than 50k focus on one run and ranked redeemer to 30. With boosters it seems hell of an easy task, without them it is awful. Still Draco is Draco and Draco is boring so I am not going back to grind Draco if I don't have to. -
Events were never added weekly, they were added every 2-3 months or so. They did take a lot of time for DE to work on them, and it seems that quests replaced them ( which are even slower to produce for a relatively shorter content ).
Tac alerts are just the filler material. -

Why? It's a word that can apply to both, and they're basically the same, just with different tiering.
Not even close, events have much bigger lore, more characters that have unique voice lines, possibly new tileset with a brand new mission type. Actual new mods and or upgraded version of a weapon and even the clan leaderboard if your clan opts in for something like that.
Tactical alerts gives you rehashed missions that are cheap to produce with no new content other than the one mission gimmick that relies on it and rewards are the previous exclusive gear if you missed on it.
Oh wait there is the badge... that totally makes it worth it /s. -
More events, less Tac alerts.
Kind of a downer to hear everyone calling Tac alerts events these days. -
Dex Sybaris, with a nice Lato or Lex skin would be interesting to see.
-
Oh boy, another tac alert another nope from me. I can't remember the last time I played one of these, I mean sure they are nice for folks to cach up on gear that they didn't obtained but mostly it will be dilluted RNG with 3000 credits and mutagen sample or whatever.
How is this good for a player that plays the game regularly and has everything? The more I think of it, I and probably most of folks plow through "new" content so fast that the game is pretty much rewarding people that plays less.
Syndicates were promised to be the thing to go for and earn rep and help them out ( past getting max standing not so much ).
Focus is there but it doesn't really add up too much and to grind it you must play Draco or go through stealth kills that DE constantly tries to tone down.
Baro ki Teer was promised to be a currency guy in exchange for end game stuff, but all we got was a slightly more power creep mods and more cores to grind to max them out.
The only thing that I always looked forward to were the events, and now they are almost gone in replacement for quest that take much longer to develop, last less or being replaced by tac alerts that are "cheap to produce" yet they bring 0 rewards for any current player that invested time in getting all the gear.
By this point I will probably check the game at every x.5 update and even then the content would probably be scarce. It's interesting to think of it how you invest more into the game and get less in the end the further you play it.
Sorry for my ramble, i just needed to write something and I guess offtopic is the best place for it. -
Well looking like this:
Kubrow armor is not really worth it, The Scimitar skin is nice but you don't get scimitar so it's not really much in terms of value.
On the other side you do get a pretty unique looking armor set ( chest and leg pieces look good on a number of frames, arm ones tho... ), War is one of the most powerful melee weapons at the moment, if you don't want to hassle with Stalker's horrible drop rate and RNG and sacrificing your broken war, it is worth it.
Syandana I'm not sure, I do like it at times, and sometimes i do not and I guess it will be 50-50 for most people.
Plat comes and goes, this bundle is not timed exclusive so I hope that it gave you some info on the bundle. -
None.
I wanted to buy Morded excalibur helmet but I do have Arcane Pendragon so I decided to wait. And now I barely use Mordred, so I guess I saved 75 plats.
If they had some sort of method to change visuals and keep the arcane, I would use others more often. -

finished 4th forma today before knowing that dex sybaris Comes lmao
I have 20 formas made and waiting... I may spend some on this gun.
-
Ahh damn, There goes my Dex Braton...
Still, I am glad that is Sybaris as I loved that gun but never wanted to waste forma on it and waited for an upgraded version. -
And now after people start using it for that sake, they will nerf it in order to make kubrows relevant.
-
If EA bought Warfame, the game would shut down after 2 years.
-
People did complained when they Buffed braton prime, but they reduced ammo capacity for the "balance sake". We never got a full response as to why and they just ignored it so people stopped asking.
And yes I also use Braton Prime, a LOT. -
Liset:
Orbiter compartment:
And the bridge that connects them:
So there you have it, the "mystery" is solved and there should be interior designs for different ships because they are now just a 150 plat glorified loading screens. -

tbut you can experience both for free. you can always forge it back if you prefer the first one you got (again not at the simple push of a button but dealing with a maddening RNG) but it CAN be done.
Pretty much you can only experience them. But it would be utter waste to spend formas and catalyst and then just switch it to the other weapon and loose all the grinded progress. So the current weapon will stay there not being used to its full potential, or spend 500-600 or so plat to have both and invest into both of them.
It is still a problem, and they never had any other weapon problem like this. It's like saying i need to use loki prime in order to craft frost prime and vice-versa and all of its forma and reactor is gone in the process and you can only have one frame at a time. It just makes no sense to do this other than to soft-force people to purchase the bundle. -
And here I am, dwindling my thumbs for another Braton variant since I got bored of Prime a bit and feelsbad about not having vandals.
Dex Braton pretty please DE?
-
So it still hasn't been resolved?
Wow, this is probably the worst buisness decision that DE made that actually affects weapons.
I was fine with cosmetic exclusive bundles
I was fine with Nezha being in sorties
But to have two top tier weapons in their categories unavailable to free players is a bit stingy to say the least. I traded plat for the bundle, and forked plat for it, but I am sure that many players won't do that. They would farm for War and craft it, even tho broken war is good, really good.
And to say that they didn't fixed this the way they should, instead they gave stalker bp's for both weapons to drop, only downside is you need one of the weapons already crafted to sacrifice it. It's been months now and still this persisted and players never talked about it more? -
Damn, quite the generosity OP.
Well, I would probably buy Trinity's skin bundle, and possibly banshee one so that is around 500 plat or so... Might treat myself with another color palette, it's been a while and rest would go for slots 'n stuff.
Umbra Warframes (Discussion Thread)

Completely agree, on the sidegrade. There are so many examples of pure preference in the visuals for me that I prefer regular frame over prime, but the stats are higher on the prime one so I stick with them.
Also I am really interested to see other how will we obtain other Umbra frames since Excal one will probably be revolved around Lore-heavy quest.
