De, We Need Official Lore, I Mean, Real Lore.

DE, you guys see all these discussions about the Excalibur Proto-Armor skin?  That is how thirsty we are for Lore.

 

How long you gonna keep ignoring this essential aspect of the game? No wonder new players can't understand anything that's going on, the only Lore we have is a couple codex entries filled with riddles and mystery. That is not cool.

 

You guys promised some Origin Lore today, all we got is a vague reference to Dark Sector's Hayden Tenno Armor. I am disappointed.

 

I mean, if you guys need help writing the Lore for the game, we have some pretty good fan fic writers right here in the community.

They mentioned in Dev 25, the coming of Focus system will be accompanied with some lore to clarify the history of tennos..

The proto armor was lore. Vague lore. But lore nonetheless.

 

Not enough... We need substantial Lore, no more riddles and mysteries, no more vague codex entries that don't explain anything.

 

 

They're not ignoring the lore, they're bringing it bit by bit.

 

Are you satisfied with that?

Like an amnesiac slowly regaining what he knows, never really sure if it's lining up right or not.

 

It's a novel idea, I like it.

 

Plus, along with piecing together the past lore like a man trying to get his memory back, we're also getting more concrete present/future lore. Grustrag bios tell of another Grineer Scientists and speak volumes for intra-Grineer relations, the Gradivus Dilemma told us of how Grineer-Corpus politics work (or, at least, used to work), and there will undoubtedly be more in the future.

 

I look forward to it.

And a snail isn't incapable of cross country travel, it's moving bit by bit.

 

Thing is, I like it a mystery. I like to speculate, so do many other players. It's fun, it creates a lot of fan-fiction and discussion. I don't see why it should be rushed.

We're basically the Tennos putting the bits & pieces of information we gained slowly trying to remember what's going on..

I like to think of warframe lore exists as much as dark souls lore exists. You have to look for it and slowly put things together.

That much I agree with, but Warframe's lore isn't completely fleshed out yet, unlike the extensive planning and design-decisions that went into Dark Souls lore.

If such an update were to come though...

That is just an excuse for a game without explanation for anything. I have a feeling that DE don't have any clue, they are just creating stuff without bothering to give a background to it. (I'm sorry DE but that's the impression i have.)

No, they aren't bringing it bit by bit. They're doing it every so often when they fancy it, and they're making it up as they go instead of sitting down and just writing out the history. The moment they just finish the lore, then we can have events, equipment, frames, tilesets, etc based around and drawing from this lore.

The way they put it out was that I quote from my memory so not the best quote as "We want the players to make lore of themselves." 

 

Edit: But I guess some players can't get their heads out of the box of story to make a story themselves.

I wouldn't call that skin's description as proper Lore!! But yeah i would pay 1000 plats for a substantial Lore explaining once and for all what the hek is everything in Warframe.

That's still bit by bit, and if you don't understand it, don't blame the writers. They wouldn't publish random entries of text.

As far as I'm concerned, we already knew that the Dark Sector Universe and the Warframe Universe are the exact same universe, just different times. While the skin is nice, it isn't lore. It'd be lore the same way as me saying that the technocyte existed before the Orokin empire. The technocyte was in dark sector and in dark sector there was no Orokin Empire. In my honest opinion there are just too many similarities between Warframe and dark sector to call it references or a coincidence. And there's no reason for them not to be in the same universe. And, to me, it was obvious that Hayden Tenno and Nemesis were the first Warframes. They weren't refined or as amazing as they are now, but it's like saying a sword isn't a weapon because guns are better.

As far as I'm concerned, we're still owed a new piece of lore. Something. Anything new. I don't want to be told something I already knew was right is right.

Games take time to do. The way DE is doing it is they have to create a event or something to release the lore or it won't make sense. Like the Grineer queens lore.

If anyone doesn't believe Dark Sector and Warframe are related, there's a link on my profile to Steve confirming they are the same universe.

I was disappointed that this was the "origin lore," but I also was expecting Vor's Prize to come out. There is a little bit of lore in the game and drizzed throughout the streams, but most people don't know it. I see "lore guys" be wrong about the lore pretty consistently because they haven't turned over every stone there is (have you read the faction descriptions on the website?), and unfortunately, that's the only way to know what little bit of a story there is.

What everyone seems to think counts as lore around here is the PAST. No one cares to discuss Vor, or Ruk, or what's going on currently in the galaxy - who Tengus is, what Hek's choices will have on his relations with Ruk. It's all about the Orokin and the Tenno, and that's not all DE's giving us. If those leaked bits are to be believed, we'll be seeing some juicy details on the Grineer put in soon. It may not be the distant past, but it's still LORE.

There's only a couple pages on the wikia, a couple codex entries, and the things we know from Dark Sector, and that's it.  I mean, c'mon!! There's no excuse. DE, look at the size of this game!!

Sometimes you need to know the future before you can understand what happened in the past.
