Iirc it's still volt but the real MVP is still Titania followed by Nova.

They'll probably go the Revenant/Nidus route and give Xaku prime some special lore explaining how he was created (probably by the void/alternate dimension like Revenant Prime was).

They added archon mods, those are the closest things so far, but we have yet to get any playable archons.

A special cosmetic for playing the game for 3000 days is too much?

Iirc I think they'll announce more next tennocon if they're doing it again.

The way I'm hoping the story will go is a sort of "stop the future" kind of storyline. Think of it like the end of the current Fortnite storyline where one of the (few remaining) characters went back in time to the original Fortnite to change the end event, which basically stopped the events of chapters 2-4 (or at the very least changed them significantly) and created chapter 5. What if we get a storyline where at the end, no matter what, The Man in the Wall wins because he escaped the void into the Lotus, and then we have to go back into time, stop Ballas/Narmer from taking over the system, save the Lotus, and then stop the Man in the Wall from escaping to prevent this "inevitable outcome."

If she did become a Warframe, it would be a new one (that would probably also be super unique one obtained from a major quest like Excalibur Umbra). And that wouldn't even mean she'd be playable either, they could just give her lotus treatment or something. However, it's unlikely that we'll ever see her ingame since even Ballas used Lotus to replace her and Lotus (optionally) believes that she is a continuation of Margulis's consciousness. If Margulis was still out there and wasn't the Lotus then Ballas would have done something about that by now.

If it has a regular variant you could use that one

Well yes but no. Shield gate was always designed to be the way it was, just without the key. It would make more sense to say that brief respite is the actual thing being exploited, and even then DE has made frames like Protea and Wisp that intentionally benefit from shield gate (but at this point it doesn't matter, DE did rework shields so it's more balanced now). And you already said the other thing: if it wasn't for shield gate, everyone would be building for armor + adaptation which would be a lot more of standing around tanking compared to being killed for a simple mistake in shield gate. Not to mention that shield gate doesn't protect the player against toxin damage or staggers. The amount of times I've died to getting stun locked in steel path balanced out shield gate for me, it's just that people love to spam primed surefooted to nullify this weakness (and believe me, if there was an arcane or mod to remove all toxin damage, people would use it).

Obsidian/Jade/Opal cosmetics will not cross over across platforms, sorry about that.

It kinda is if you run frames that tank off of shield gate, especially cc based ones...

Alternate dimensions get into all kinds of silly...

Merry Christmas!

Probably because all the food except the croissant is bad for you...

They should if it's a live service game, because those games always have meta shifts... For example, in Destiny a bunch of stuff got nerfed and more stuff will be nerfed. People used to run infinite grenades on solar hunter but now you can't do that anymore, so obviously those people have to find a new build for the new content. It's just how these games work...
