I mean the Vermillion and Harka stuff is nice, but... I've been looking forward to that weird gilded skelecat skin since the Fabled Kubrow pattern first showed up. Are we gonna have to wait another ~6 months? Or longer?

its a noob stepping stone equipment, just like your lvl1 sword in any rpg and game with progression, or do you also call it 'bait'? its like you've never played any games with progression
Most games don't offer you the 'opportunity' to expend rare, permanent upgrade items on that level one sword.

Your one example proves nothing and trials were removed because of bugs not some excuse you made up. It's pretty ridiculous to think there isn't a part of an mmo's player base that doesn't want end game content.
a) I didn't claim it proved anything, I said it was evidence, b) the devstream where the "temporary" removal of trials was explained specifically referenced the low traffic and high upkeep, and c) I've never claimed there isn't a part of the playerbase that doesn't want endgame content. I'm just not sure that segment is large enough to justify a significant investment of DE's time and effort.

No, there isn't evidence in your favor. There will always be a group of players looking for end game activities in an MMO. Not saying it a large part of players but it isn't "tiny" either.
As I already referenced, DE tried this sort of thing before, with Trials. The audience for this content ended up being a tiny minority of players. If you have any counterevidence, I'd love to hear it.

People looking for end game activities are not a tiny fraction of players.
That's an assertion without a lot of evidence to support it, and some reasonably solid evidence against it.
-
Eh. DE already tried the route of creating content that only a tiny fraction of the active playerbase would be able to experience. It ended up taking too much of their time for not enough gain.

The problem is the Ferrox is only sold by Ergo Glast, and no, I don't understand that decision either
That... would explain it.

I'm trying to get the Tenet Ferrox, but I keep seeing repeats rather than weapons whose candidate I don't parazon being taken of the rotation. E.g. I've seen the Tenet Plinx, Duplos, Envoy etc multiple times.
Before anyone asks: yes, I'm completing the missions after defeating the candidate and viewing their weapon. I've even started waitng for Parvos to condemn the candidate. Still seeing repeats.

All junctions located in Corpus space indicate that both Grineer and Corpus occupy old Orokin rails.
17 hours ago, (XBOX)Rez090 said:Not quite sure how you could think that the Grineer control all junctions. Might be a bit awkward for the Grineer to be around Venus, Jupiter, Neptune and Pluto and somehow not be in constant combat with Corpus ships.
I don't necessarily think the Grineer control all the rails. I'm just saying the only direct evidence I can recall for who runs the rails—that is, the orbiter radio transmissions—only shows them being run by Grineer.

Sidearm is worth 1k and allows you to take only a secondary. The Old Ways is worth 4.5k and allows you to take a pistol and a glaive—way less challenging. In the immortal words of Pope Leon X:

I don't know if I'm contributing to this or not with this ramble, but whatever: Don't Grineer and Corpus have their own respective Solar Rails for transport? Tenno naturally can't use either because Corpus and Grineer try to shoot their Orbiters on sight and their spacecraft has to uncloak before using a Solar Rail – I don't know if I remember that correctly – so they have to rely on the older Solar Rail Junctions guarded by the Specters – I have no idea what their lore is – for interplanetary travel.
Possible. The Tenno did build their own solar rails for a while, in the pre-Conclave PvE mode. The only other examples we have of solar rails are all run by Grineer (as per the orbiter radio transmissions). No evidence I'm aware of that the Corpus own/run any rails.

Steam charts seems to disagree with you 20.10% of people stoped playng in june (a litle over 11k players it seems), and the trend continue downwards here take a look, there was the decline the hype about duvri, the realization its same crap again and now the decline back.
Dude. Look at the entire chart. Warframe is a game with significant fluctuation in the playerbase. A one month decline is meaningless; that one month decline comes after a high that the game hadn't seen since late 2021—a high that was, unlike most of the other new release spikes, was actually maintained for a full month and is only dropping off gradually rather than spiking right back down.

I'll point out as someone else did earlier, the junctions/specters don't actually have any lore explanations about. They originally weren't even in the game and no actual explanation was ever given for why we have to go thru these specters.
Sure, I remember when the star chart was just a circle of planets, and before that when the star chart actually had the Sun. Lots of stuff in Warframe doesn't have an explicit explanation, though, and the lore must be derived from clues. The fact that the specters guarding the junctions are called the "specters of the rail", combined with the fact that accessing the junctions allows travel between planets—the implications seem clear.
To go further, based on the radio transmissions, it seems pretty clear that access to the rails is limited and monitored by the Grineer. If the Tenno wanted the freedom to move around the system without having to fight off a whole Grineer fleet every time, some sort of covert access would be necessary. Hence the junctions.

Progression purposes.
I'll add a little more later, but disregarding the clear lore explanations for game elements seems incredibly unwarranted.

Even though we don't actually see it, we very likely have a reliquary drive or something similar. We would have to to get around the system as quick as we do and that drive is also likely where we get our cloaking tech from. And I'm gonna point out the fallacy of your last statement, you most definitely need an engine to travel around the system. What do you think actually moves ships around when they aren't using solar rails?
Then why do we need to unlock the rails to visit other planets?

Nope, they cant have pre-dated the Zariman Accident, since the Zariman was going to Tau in order to build solar rails.
What's the relation between the biodrone/technocyte warrior/protoframe/whatever else we're calling it program and Tau?

Not all of them.
Remember that before margulis developed transferrence therapy Ballas had already completed, and failed, the technocyte warrior project.
Dax and orokin given a special strain of infestation that allowed them to fight sentients properly; They would often lose their mind over time, leading to the project being deemed a failure. The only blemish in ballas career.
Then margulis developed transference and ballas used that to solve the issue technocyte warriors had: Control. Tenno could subsume the conscious of those rabid dogs and make them safe and effective.Unless I'm mistaken, we're talking about the same thing. According to the Seven Crimes, Kullervo is one of those proto-Warframes, and he chose to remain loyal to the Orokin while the other protoframes were killed. That's exactly what I mean—the according to the Seven Crimes, the protoframes didn't go mad and have to be put down, or Kullervo would have been put down along with them.

This is an accumulation of thoughts I've had while playing through the Kullervo update, in no particular order.
1. Kullervo and Ballas, sitting in a (weird ghostly white Void) tree, k-i-l-l-i-n-g. It's hinted pretty strongly that the Warden is Kullervo's Void expy of Ballas, making Ballas the Executor that Kullervo tried to woo. Ballas may have loved Margulis, but let's be honest: he's not the type to turn down a little sideframe, especially when the upside is having his own, personally loyal murderbot.
2. The proto-Warframes were not (or at least not universally) omnicidal murderbots. They were conscious, thinking, sapient beings. They could love, they formed familial attachments, they could choose to seclude themselves and survive the purge while their brothers and sisters died. The more lore that gets revealed, the more it seems to me that the proto-Warframes' "defect" and "dementment" was a failed slave revolt. Kullervo remained loyal to the Orokin, choosing not to participate—not something an omnicidal murderbot is capable of doing.
3. The killing of Kullervo's mother is not listed among his crimes. I'm not sure there's any deep lore implications here, I just found it striking. Especially since it seems clear that his "seven crimes" are at least partly his own guilty conscience tormenting him. Maybe the crimes are based on some actual Orokin legal proceeding that occurred in the "real" world, but Kullervo is pretty clearly in a prison of his own making—and that the Warden in charge of it is another aspect of himself, just like the six other Kullervos behind bars. So at some level, Kullervo doesn't blame himself for his mother's death. There are lots of possible interpretations there, my favorite being that he feels so guilty for her death that he can't even bring himself to name it as a crime.
Anyway, that's what I've got off the top of my head right now. May add more later.

Kullervo's Hold bugged enigma puzzle bugged? Non-functional activation trigger
in Mission Specific
Posted · Edited by motorfirebox
Title specificity
This Enigma puzzle in Kullervo's Hold has been bugged since Seven Crimes dropped, as far as I can tell. The shootable plate on the left seems intended to open the symbol on the right, but it doesn't. Maybe I'm missing something and there's some other plate I'm supposed to shoot, but both times I've encountered this puzzle I've searched for 15+ minutes and been unable to find any other component to the puzzle.
