AJ5511 Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 With the addition of the new Umbral mods in the sacrifice, there aren't any other mods which can fit in the umbral spots, and putting these mods on regular warframes and melee drains the mod capacity. What if DE introduced a new event system exclusive to Lua, since Umbra draws his powers from Lua. Also, since Umbra means the shadow cast on the moon, these events should darken the Lua maps, as they would be during an eclipse, and give them a reddish glow. These once in a month events can drop new umbral mods, and an umbral adapter which allows you to place an umbral slot on a non umbra frame/ weapon. The factions should be solely sentient, the difficulty should be hard, and of course the awards should have low drop rates. By doing this, I feel like people will complain less about umbral mods, and not wine about adding more Umbra frames to the game. P.S it would look sick if Lua turned red during Halloween. What do you guys think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(XBOX)Tanta Cinta Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 I like the idea a lot. It’s a good way to expand the Umbra system. Only question in mind is the frequency of these alerts. Everyone wants to “Umbralize” all their builds, so if the alerts are once a month, I imagine many people stuck with unfinished builds for a month, waiting for the next one.

Yeah, but having it RNG like the other alerts will just make the mods seem useless, since everyone can get them. but I guess making the alerts super hard can offset it?

hellodownthere Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 No thank you. More Umbra mods will come when DE releases the next Umbra frame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoreXCZ Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 No, thanks. Mods that came with Excalibur Umbra should stay Umbra-usable only. Umbra is not ordinary warframe, and it deserves something unique because of it, Umbral mods being the best thing we could hope for. So polarities should stay on Umbra only, none for normal or Prime ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zi-Sui Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 What about the power creep that comes with giving non-umbra frames umbral polarity? I think it's just unnecessary since we can already faceroll everything except endurance runs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)s3d_sas Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Soo you’re asking for power creep events? Totally no Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khromm Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Additional Umbra mods? Sure, could be interesting. Better left as rewards for obtaining future Umbra frames though. Unless Umbra Excaliber is all we're ever gonna get... Adding Umbra polarity adapters/formas? Nope. As has been mentioned, its the main thing (aside from the current Umbra passive of the frame being able to fight on without you in it) that sets Umbra apart. We can still use 'em on regular frames, if we suck up the mod drain from them, but as soon as you allow regular/Prime frames to forma slots into Umbra slots, you devalue the current and all future Umbra frames. Why run Excaliber over Umbra Excaliber if you have the Umbra version available? Or why run Umbra Excal if normal Excal can forma in the Umbra mods? (If you want to claim that the frame being able to fight when you slip into Operator mode is worth running the fram in any event, consider that the Umbra frame is running game based AI and can easily die on you without you seeing what's going on, where a normal frame is invincible when you're not in it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I don't see that as happening..like...ever I'd LOVE a different set of Umbra mods though. Something more interesting than 'Moar Powah'. Otherwise Excalibur Umbra's locked into a subset of builds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(XBOX)EternalDrk Mako Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 this is the third time someone ahs brought the umbral event or forma cocnept up im doubtful it will happen and honestly the umbra polarities are a specific trait of an umbra more umbras will come eventually we are just waiting for the next one to appear and unlike excal U they dont need a quest that was a special thing with chinaframe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJ5511 Posted October 1, 2018 Author Share Posted October 1, 2018 So I guess when the Tau system comes out, Umbra is the only frame people are gonna use since he is the only one with Tau resist. I might be wrong but, I think it is practical for DE to add these events if we are going to go to the Tau system, or release a new umbra. The latter option will make it so two frames will be effective I that area, hardly any fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean to tell me that you want to have only the option of Umbra Ex as team composition? 4 Umbra Excal fighting Senti will be okay at first....then repetitive....then no difference in squads will make players stop going to Tau. Variety is the key to spicing up video games....not too much...not too little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5H4DE Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 First of all, I dunno where you picked up that Umbra means Shadow cast on the moon, Umbra simply means Shadow. Secondly, I disagree with the idea of event and Umbral Adapter/Forma. There's a reason only Umbra frames can fit their polarities. Lastly, DE said that Excal won't be the only Umbra we have, we'll have more, not all frames, likely just the initial 8. When that happens more Umbral and Sacrificial mods will come out as well. This is likely going to happen before The New War gets released so we won't go in the Tau system with Excal and the Skiajati only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, my whole idea for the event system was to prevent this from happening. But I guess what @TheRealShade is saying is right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
