My concerns are with the exhaustive nature of the rules, which gives me the impression of a more systemic RP community, rather than one focused on players and their enjoyment. Again, this is the impression I am getting from what I've read, but I'd like to know if this view is correct or not.
Well imo I believe it's supposed to be a systemic RP. It's not trying to be a traditional one in terms of writing, because whether or not something succeeds hinges on the "game" itself. It's basically D&D warframe with a little more focus on characters and story than is typical of tabletops. This means that it's probably not going to hold your hand or let you do some things you really want to, but the reward for pulling off even small feats would be exhilarating. It might not be what a lot of people are looking for, but it's an intriguing concept nonetheless.

Look at them, they come to this place when they know they are not pure. Tenno use the keys, but they are mere trespassers. Only I, Vor, know the true power of the Void. I was cut in half, destroyed, but through it's Janus Key, the Void called to me. It brought me here and here I was reborn. We cannot blame these creatures, they are being led by a false prophet, an impostor who knows not the secrets of the Void. Behold the Tenno, come to scavenge and desecrate this sacred realm. My brothers, did I not tell of this day? Did I not prophesize this moment? Now, I will stop them. Now I am changed, reborn through the energy of the Janus Key. Forever bound to the Void. Let it be known, if the Tenno want true salvation, they will lay down their arms, and wait for the baptism of my Janus key. It is time. I will teach these trespassers the redemptive power of my Janus key. They will learn it's simple truth. The Tenno are lost, and they will resist. But I, Vor, will cleanse this place of their impurity.

The two locations currently marked on the map both regularly show no poop for me either. It's a little frustrating at this point, gotta admit.

WEEKLY NEWSLETTER: Issue 12! Yellow Edition
Hey guys! It’s me, Disruptis. Surprised? Merry Christmas!
I’m commandeering this newsletter so I can let Kapak out of the editing dungeon for a bit of fresh canadian air. He’s already done so much for the server, he deserves a break every once in a while.
Doesn't help that this editing room was made completely out of mouldy stone bricks! You can practically feel the delightful little spores clinging to your alveoli. I mean, the food we ration nowadays is almost 100% blue cheese because the rest of it moulded, but those delicacies never reach your lungs like this moss does! Man I tell ya.
Hope you enjoy this special version of TotA newsletters that I’m going to coin “The Yellow Edition” just because I’m writing this and anything I say now is pure fact.
Server Open House Updates
So first on the list of topics, the special RP thread we created for the visitors is thriving! To clarify, it’s part of an AU, so it’s not official in the TotA RP universe’s timeline. Which is good too, because we break a LOT of continuity by bringing our characters in. But hey, it’s a party! I won’t bother posting update synopsis because when the visiting period is ends at the beginning of Jan 2, we will upload a link to the complete story here! Exciting!~ Or if you can’t wait, join the server now at https://discord.gg/rbtFFSJ and read it yourself! The alternate reality tea party continues...

Recruitment Updates
So, previously we had advertised that by the new year, we would be taking on two members.That amount is now three! Is that a good idea for us? MUCK IF WE KNOW LMAO. It’ll be great nonetheless, and the lucky winners will start in an RP thread hosted by none other than @Almighty_Jado himself since I’m too busy hosting three others and participating in another two. Additionally, our newcomers from last time will be joining them too.Also, because of all above developments, we will be pushing acceptance letters to January 7th. I know we sound like some cheap game development publisher now but thank you all for your continued patience.
Art Corner
So this week, Lekalis the god of art himself dropped another wave of quality art on top of us! He's even got a signature in these ones now, so he can prove it's all his. Hope ya'll weren't stealin' art.
Without further ado, here are the recent editions:
[Images in spoiler]Spoiler
RP updates, so I speak
Oh shoot, that means I have to actually catch up in Fortuna Et Ops. Welp, I needed to do it anyway. Also, keep in mind that the presence of the alternate reality tea party has slowed progress in other channels 😂 since we want to interact with you guys so much.
FORGOTTEN ISLAND by Vuko:
Vuko thinks quick. He draws an explosive arrow and positions himself behind one of the closest turrets, hoping he can have the others score some colateral damage. His plan succeeds and rips the turret to shreds in a matter of seconds, but it was a little too fast. His shields took chunks of damage before he blew the second turret to smithereens with the arrow. Now quickly running out of time and in a tight spot, but temporarily safe spot behind cover, he switches tactics. He blows the nearby window open and gets sucked into space right before the blast doors close. Unfortunately this leaves him spinning like an electric beater, but he cleverly counters that by closing his eyes and relying on navigator to secure a line from him to the station. Finally, he swings over to the nearby landing bay while admiring the view of the gigantic station.[Image in spoiler]
Spoiler
THE FORTUNA ET OPS II by Kapak:
The surprise galleon looms ominously closer. All attempts to communicate with it fail, until everyone begins to hear a harrowing space shanty over the only connected transmission.
...until Sonera decides to run her liset straight into the thing.
THE VALLES TOMB RAID by Leveret:
Cyrus deduces that the water must run down tiny grooves at the edge of the basins and activate some sort of hydraulic system. Kára jumps on the hypothesis and suggests that they start bailing water over using the corpus crewmen’s helmets. Halcyon is appaled at the notion but Cyrus, a griseled engineer, sets himself to work. They successfully shovel enough water to open the doors to the next room!QuoteThe roar of water grew louder yet again as the next room was revealed. It was larger than the first, and...in slightly worse condition. The walls were mostly intact, but a chunk of ceiling had, at some point, broken free, smashing the floor open to reveal the rushing water far, far below. There was a curved rim at the edge of the gap and an ancient looking bucket with a tiny scrap of cord tied to it. Along the walls on both sides were murals again, these ones each depicting three Martian figures carrying jugs of varying shapes and sizes.
In one corner was a pile of old jugs, again in varying shapes and sizes, though many were damaged and two were just heaps of shards. How ancient they must be!
The side walls barely had a meter's worth of ledge left, and the floor was completely missing from the far wall, leaving a sheer drop in front of the second sealed door. There was no sand in this room, as it appeared to have been sealed off from the ravages of the near-constant sandstorms outside.~[Images in spoiler]
Spoiler
Kára (my character btw ^.^) immediately freaks out about the damages already incurred and sets to work scanning the room for posterity, while Atela approaches the room much more cautiously.
SAGA OF THE STRIDER by Lekalis:
PROJECT TELOS by Kamos:
Svytoj hacks into a decrepit jackal overgrown with infested nearby to investigate. He finds recordings about training logs referencing three primary Telos subjects: FE-01, AL-01, and TE-01. Despite this the log only showed two warframes: a new Oberon and a mysterious Nidus.Kapak infers that the location they were currently in was some sort of testing zone. The group move in to the next room where testosterone levels seem drastically reduced to discourage aggression. However, the technocyte strain seemed to eat into the railing and walls itself, corroding the metals away.
QuoteKapak:
"This isn't good. Technocyte must be absorbing a ton of metal from the ships. It could be used to really up the toughness in Infested organisms... Might be part of the whole Infested Warframes project that it looks like we're dealing with. Tougher armour, you know?"
MADAM BOURGOAR'S CARNIVAL by Sonera:
The three little infested creatures land in a pitch dark room with moist air. The cold temperature makes the trio shiver, trying to adjust their eyes to the darkness. Just as they begin to make out the shapes in the room, a blinding light flickers on!Quote“WHOS THERE?! HANDS UP!”
Shouts a high-pitched, yet demanding voice.To mitigate the risk of giving away stuff Dr. Deco and the newly christened operative “Stick” are discussing, I’ll just post the one short paragraph that came from them this week. ((These are also both my characters :P))
Quote“So,” Stick continued, now downing the provided drink like it was merely water, “Why in grofit’s sake was I pulled early?”
Dr. Deco held both arms out wide in a grandiose gesture. “The future, Stick. The future,” he waved down a waitress in hope of securing another round of drinks. “Except this time, you’re on a different side. We… ‘traded’ for you.”
“What?" Stick interjected in confusion, "what do you mean? Are you not COE anymore? Who would RU even trade to?”
Dr. Deco: A sly smile parted the doctor’s lips. “A lot changes in a decade, Stick. There’s been a few things that have brought the con’ closer to its enemies...” he leaned forward on both elbows “...and you’re going to find out when you work for them.”
Stick’s limbs quickly fell numb. Pure terror splashed across the operative’s face as he looked up into Deco’s snaky eyes. He mouthed two words. They wouldn’t.
“You’re being loaned to the confederation, Stick. Drink up.”
Meanwhile, the strength booth operator offers to give Frez another free chance at winning the mystery box after his unfortunate failure, but only if he hands over the floof he won. He contemplates this, but passes. Kinsey, on the other hand, is having an amazing time bragging about their own accomplishments Frez failed to beat. At the same time, a little curious girl approaches Rakko, Kinsey’s tall grineer escort, and bombards her with questions.
HYPERION ASCENDED by Inari:
Astra’s orbiter splurts out a long string of binary audio transmission and everyone basically just readies up for the call to arms. As I said: focusing on the AU tea party.
CHRONICLES OF THE RUNNER by EllaQuoteWhatever memories there were in this place, they landed in the hands of one who was blind and deaf to them. Isa caught glimpses. She heard distant echoes of battle and an ominous growl, but that was it. Whatever message behind any of it was, whatever details there may have been, were lost to the Tenno. She strode through the door, paying barely any heed to the ghost sounds other than a passing thought regarding them as mildly interesting.
THE WEAVER'S MANIFEST by Me:
((Quick announcement, if any of you have been confused about the double timeline happening here, I have the first chapter of the main story split up into two threads which different people are participating in. The newcomers in one and the Orokin Remnant Veterans in another.))The group on the aptitude station plans for each member to take certain positions when exploring new rooms, while trying to keep the lively Sonera from running off anywhere. Afterwards Sonera takes lead in directing the party to the second mysterious assembly line room.
Meanwhile, Vuko steps up to the plate of leader as Disruptis desperately tries to feed the group information without making suggestions. He’s not sure if some sort of mental problem arose during his quirky regeneration process, but he’s not willing to elaborate further on the fear. Vuko ends up throwing out the proposition to capture a squadron for interrogation, or hacking into a nearby bases data vault for info on where the moving prisoners are located. They consult the “map” for possible locations.

Spoiler
But the thing, drawn by Disruptis himself, isn’t exactly that informative.
Phew! Now I know how Kapak feels when he writes these. I got caught by the ctrl+z bug at least twice and had to re-copy everything over from my planning document. That and the text formatting is tiring. Let me know if the spoilers were better for you guys than straight up leaving the images embedded in the main, I just wanted to make it easier to scroll. Hope you guys enjoy your free time on the server, and have a happy new year!

Same 😕
Man, DE is just not winning with these oxylus mods. First the infinite pobbers on scan lifeforms and now this? I feel sorry for them at this point.
Although to expand on this, this seems to only be happening above ground for me. The bug doesn't occur in the caves.
-
Yes it would! We haven't posted updates on our RPs in a while, but rest assured, they are all progressing nicely.

How recently did they patch this? It's been about a week since I last tested it, but I didn't see any fix in the patch notes.

I disagree - allowing WF abilities to make it easier, while being more difficult for _some_ players who don't have them is fine. It provides motivation for those players who DONT have the frames to farm them, and provides a "reward" for those that DID farm them.
3If you're arguing that then it's also just as valid to argue that it should be taken away entirely. It'd be fine.
That way, it provides motivation for those players who DON'T have skill to git gud, and provides a "reward" for those that DID practice for a couple hours. Honestly, it doesn't take an unreasonable amount of time to learn how to do it well consistently.

DE completelt failed with the changes on both Ember and Banshee... Ember still burns her ay trough any map of the starchart, what she lost was that bit of CC and survivability she got from World of Fire + augment - Banshee augment become even stronger by turning Resonating Quacke from an expanding and increasing in cost channelled power to a single press AoE nuke that could be spammed very quickly while retaining energy regeneration...
3You may or may not be correct, I won't get into that. However, that info doesn't serve anything to refute my statement on DE at least trying to change them.

People who WANT to have their challenge in conservation are free to use any frames they wish to, while people who want to cheese with sleep effects can use Equinox or Ivara at their leisure without effecting anyone else's gameplay.
1Well, the main reason we are complaining about that is because it's not an essential part of the game. It's lifestyle content. Content that certain people can spend lots of time honing their skill at and show off the fruits of their labour to others. Having people able to just cheese it with sleep and get the same floof collection is basically spitting on the faces of anyone actually trying to enjoy that part of the game. DE has already made actions against this in other areas, such as the ember and banshee nerfs that no longer let them cheese entire missions. It wouldn't be far-fetched at all to have them make this change as well. DE just made the change in the beginning because people were whining about how they sucked at conservation. Just use an invis frame! That's easy enough.
-
Ah yes, this again. Beautiful. I hope DE patches this last.
-
This is still a problem. It seems to occur after using archwing about 6 times. It makes conservation very frustrating. 😞
-
This is like, the 4th thread to be posted about this. DE FIX PLS!
-
Wait, I thought they patched this??? Well, if it's still happening that's alarming! Are you able to record a video that we can show to the devs?
-
Makes me cri evertim I see this post and wonder just how amazing the "dragon warframe" could've been.

Scan Lifeforms is the cause of this bug. Go back to the Orbiter and come back to Vallis without it.
Yup, we need a fix DE!
-
I sometimes run into a problem where I am having trouble telling which way the wind is blowing, so I check the plants to gauge the direction. Only issue is that sometimes the plants blow against the wind! Now my conservation target has run away and I'm back to catching sunny pobbers. Anyone else having this too?
Note the density of snow particles to the left indicating the wind is blowing from there.
-
SAME. Not only that but it also seemed to exclusively hand me sunny pobbers.

-
BLESS. I hope this is a feature and not a bug 🤞 (salty lifestyle enthusiast here)

"Sparky, not worth it. Get back in here. Nef won't risk destroying Fortuna with that Orb, we've bought the time we need."
-
Here to confirm. For the first part of the day I got a couple bolorola and vermink, but after those were caught no more spawned. There are only pobbers as far as the eye can see. Incidentally, I think the pobber rarity spawn rate is bugged too. I just came from a session where I caught nothing but 18 sunny pobbers.

It would be a lot easier to hunt if we had the ability to turn off the target highlighting pulse inside our tranquilizers. Please, I beg you DE. Every time a bolorola flashes white, I can't distinguish where its plates ends and flesh begins, resulting in a lot of botched captures. Or when poggers are scurrying across the ground, seeing the fading highlight ghosts make it difficult to accurately discern and calculate their vectors of movement and predict where to shoot. Heck, even vermink are hard to get sometimes because the reticule blends in with the pulse!
This could be easily done by letting alt-fire be a toggle between pulse and no pulse, and let the pulse be the default setting upon weapon switch.
Sabotage Caches Spawning Underground
in Mission Specific
Posted · Edited by Disruptis
On Cervantes, Earth, and I'm sure on other sabotage missions that pop up on that planet too, there is about a 50% chance for one of the caches to spawn underground. This has been hypothesized since the last cache can be heard in one location, but not seen at all. I don't think I even need to articulate how frustrating this is to find out after spending 20 minutes getting a migraine from looking all around that tileset. Please DE, fix this quickly. It's been a bug for the longest time and it's especially prelevant now with this week's round of nightwave alerts.
