Kethus Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 (edited) The latest event confirms it. Until now the lore suggested that each Tenno wields an individual frame tailored to their abilities, but now the Lotus said Oxium will be used for a new Warframe design. You can't simply start finding new sleeping Tenno that are already wearing the frame you research right after you finish researching it. The Tenno can change frames. Now the other thing left is to find out if the Tenno are shapeless and genderless and assume a shape suitable for their frame, since Rhino has a masculine voice and Valkyr has a feminine voice.

SpilockT_T Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 You can see the real Tenno when playing a def mission.. (The one in the cyropod) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ced23Ric Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 You are now aware that you are saving Tenno from the cryopods, escort the mout of holding cells and have an army of Tenno without suits at the ready. You are now aware that the recent event did not change or contradict any of the vague hints set forth so far. You are now aware that one Tenno has one suit, another Tenno another suit. You are now aware that the player is a "Quartermaster" of sorts, selecting Tenno operatives at their whim to go on missions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EclecticDragon Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 You can see the real Tenno when playing a def mission.. (The one in the cyropod) Plot twist, that guy was also the guy you rescued on rescue missions. So take him being there grain of salt. Also the capsule he is in, is not the one tenno awaken it but one that looks to be of corpus/ lotus make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are now aware that the player is a "Quartermaster" of sorts, selecting Tenno operatives at their whim to go on missions. I think these are Tenno in frames. It says Warframe Cryopod, not Tenno Cryopod. ... Then why do DE call the players Tenno? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virtus_Dei_Est Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Make yourself a favor and wait until something varely similiar to lore is stablished in the game. i dont think even DE has a solid concept for the story of the game yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CannaWhoopazz Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 (edited) Nova was researched by the "Tenno High Command" after the Great Awakening and is a new warframe; not constructed during the time of the Orokin.

Voidflow Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 (edited) The Tenno from rescue mission are operators like players (like we are). Warframes are pure weapons consisting of twisted Tenno and and around them built suits. Each suit fits only specific twisted Tenno with its own abilities. This symbiose of twisted Tenno (with specific abilities, Mind control e.g.) and specific suit (Nyx suit) makes the whole warframe (Nyx as example). These warframes are controlled by Tenno operators (players) through the void. A Specialized weapon made by Orokin. Hayden Tenno, Nemesis and Maybe also Stalker are different. The operator is the twisted Tenno himself. Maybe here is the difference to low guardians? This difference makes warframes weak in term of corruption. Is this the reason of Orokin fall? Maybe.

Same with Valkyr of course. Hm, I haven't noticed that about Nova. Valkyr could have been another frame that became twisted, but Nova is undoubtly new then. I'll try to see if anything is mentioned about developing new frames. Where are the four million Tenno? The lore doesn't mention numbers. The Grineer and Corpus could be billions. They are across the entire solar system after all. The Tenno from rescue mission are operators like players (like we are).

It is confirmed that the Tenno are inside the frames and not controlling them from the Void. Even if we ignore boss taunts they still bleed.

sp4rtan148 Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 (edited) Each frame you play as is a different member of the Tenno. Edit: just letting you guys know, the guy in the cryo-pod is a place-holder named naked steve, and the rescue targets are just tenno sympathizers, not actual members of the Tenno.

Even if we ignore boss taunts they still bleed. @New Frames: Where did Frost, Nyx, Vauban, Nekros, Oberon, Saryn come from? None of those were part of the starting team. @Numbers: DE did. Over 4 million Tenno. We could stage a war - but don't. @Control: Aye. Tenno inside 'frames. Tenno from Rescue/Defense, 'frames we're building from resources.

arch111 Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 The What are Tenno debate is as old as the game itself. The immersion line of Player and avatar is important to some of us. So far we as players build and master them. If we as avatars should at one point actually switch frames, that is for the creative team to descide. Maby it would be better to allow us to name each warframe. So we have a Party of frames with individual Tenno inside. I grow weary of this question, want clarification from you devs please.

Tenno from Rescue/Defense, 'frames we're building from resources. Oberon was thought to be a myth, so I guess he was just a discovered sleeping Tenno. Could be the same for the rest, that aren't newly developed frames. When you asked where the 4 million Tenno are I thought you were implying they were less lore-wise. It's not certain that the the prisoners are Tenno. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paradoxbomb Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 I was never under the impression that they were grafted into the suits, though if they are you could argue that they could still do so after designing the new suits (so the new wind warframe could have it built around her).

PhantomRen Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 (edited) The only logical explanation as to how we're able to fit into every frame is simple: We're all girls on the inside. I mean, think about it: Samus Aran uses a somewhat thick or bulky suit, as it's not as skin-tight as our frames are. Even the breasts are modeled in. I doubt the distance between a Tenno's breasts and the thickness of her frame's armor is no bigger than a few inches. Of course, the shields are what really protect us in the end. So I guess sex appeal is viable in this situation, although the frames aren't made to look THAT sexy. Except for maybe a few of the female frames butts and busts. I will admit that there are a few out there that are quite large. Not to mention some frames have well-animated butts that are literally made to distract you. Admit it, you're all girls. Pretty girls, I might add. Channel your inner feminism and start accessorizing so you may become fabulous. (That was me trying to be funny, I seriously hope I haven't offended any real feminists.)

Methanoid Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 i always envisaged them as skintight suits of armor, like weirdly designed wetsuits full of gadgetry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CannaWhoopazz Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 @New Frames: Where did Frost, Nyx, Vauban, Nekros, Oberon, Saryn come from? None of those were part of the starting team. The only frames that are confirmed new (developed recently, not during the time of the Orokin) are Nova, Valkyr and the new one coming next week. Orokin built the Primes themselves, so Frost must be an original warframe because he has a Prime version. As stated, Oberon was rediscovered recently, he's a "mythical" frame. As for the others, DE hasn't/didn't state(d) whether they were recently developed. Hopefully as the Lore is expanded out more, we'll find out more about where all the frames came from. Right now, we only know that Excalibur was the first warframe, thanks to his Codex entry. I'm sure the other frames will be getting their own detailed entries soon®℗©™℠ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ced23Ric Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 The only frames that are confirmed new The lack of a word on the others does not mean that are old. There is no Saryn Prime, no Nyx Prime, no Vauban Prime, no Nekros Prime. Neither is there a Loki or Rhino Prime for that matter. Hopefully as the Lore is expanded. *created So far, there is little to expand. Valkyr's story makes little to no sense for many Valkyrs to begin with, unless Salad Five tortured multiple Valkyrs. As in, multiple thousands. If he didn't, there is no explanation why there are so many Valkyrs. If he did, siding with Corpus is literally siding with Space-Hitler.

marbatico Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 i always thought every warframe was unique (only one rhino, only one excalibur etc.) and the reason we can have multiple of the same frame in a game is simply because of gameplay (just like TF2, there is only one heavy, only one sniper etc. but you can have multiple in a single game) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BETAOPTICS Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Also when you think about it. All Tenno have been in cryo sleep for a millenia or so. This makes it possible for them to equip a suit made specifically for them because they never wore one prior to their awakening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
