Etsoree Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 After looking up some info on the new Vor, and having fought him twice now ( haven't done any T4 missions 'till today ), I noticed something with past trailers and recent trailers. In 'The Call,' he did not have the Janus Key. He did not have the Janus Key in the Xbox One trailer, either. In both cases since he didn't have it, his Key he DID have, or something else, was empowering him to stay alive. Now when we fight him in the Void, he has the new Janus key, even though his chestplate has not been completely modified to fit it in ( possibly an oversight ). Where does everyone think he got it? What does it do? Theories, theories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"In ancient Roman religion and myth, Janus (Latin: Ianus, pronounced [ˈiaː.nus]) is the god of beginnings and transitions,[1] and thereby of gates, doors, passages, endings and time. He is usually depicted as having two faces, since he looks to the future and to the past. The Romans named the month of January (Ianuarius) in his honor." Maybe he got it.... From space god?

APBladeX Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 He had it in the Xbox One trailer. The Janus Key is his Void key, which grants him immortality and unique powers. My theory is that the Oracles of Saturn (new faction hinted in one of the devstreams) are Captain Vor's splinter faction of the Grineer, worshipping the Orokin and their powerful technology, such as Captain Vor's prized Janus Key. U14 will introduce Vor's Prize, so all we do is wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReiganCross Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 My Theory is that he just calls the Key "Janus"... When we call it by mission type, they might call them by sector... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Llyssa Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 It's been noted that his key apparently is much more cool than our keys. Although, I question why the orokins didn't use it to keep themselves alive. That being said, he's always had the key, so far as I'm aware. I'm not quite sure what makes you believe otherwise.

And just for context, the last time the Oracles of Saturn were mentioned was indeed in Devstream #22, so this could turn out to be a very real possibility.

Flaming_Snake Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 It's the key to his hat room. Yes, Vor has enough hats to make up a hat room. Don't be jealous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RugerMK1 Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Methinks Cap'n Vor was visiting one of Sargas Ruk's many artifiact looting operations and picked up the Janus key, possibly shooting several of Ruk's associates along the way. Also anyone find it awesome he says 'Yanus' instead of 'Janus' ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Himari- Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 It's the key to his hat room. Yes, Vor has enough hats to make up a hat room. Don't be jealous. I was under the impression that he'd always had his "Janus" key, he just never spoke of it by name until just recently. But I can't help to be more proud of him for his hat room.

CY13ERPUNK Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 (edited) i find it kind of hilarious that SMITE adds Janus as their new god ingame and boom Warframe now has Vor talking about his Janus key kinda wish the creative arts world wasn't SOOO derivative of each other all the time, hard to find unique designs/ideas =[ Edited June 19, 2014 by CY13ERPUNK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's crazy! So.... Two groups... Independently.... Both came up with... "Use the name of a highly-recognizable grecoroman god as the name for something".... ...when both have been using the highly-recognizable names of grecoroman gods for years? NO WAY! TOTAL CONSPIRACY! EDIT: Bonus: As the key has been around in warframe quite some time, and the process of creating content, scripting lines for content, then recording lines for content, then releasing said content, takes many months, you can either assume either SMITE(who has... many multitudes of grecoroman gods) stole the idea of "let's add a janus reference", or that both had their own reasons for thinking about it.

Corvid Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Yes, you can. Considering that I've seen at least one other person make the same comparison (That's the Janus Key from Halo 4, by the way), no, I can't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's most likely a very safe assumption that DE's decision had nothing to do with SMITE and vice versa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corvid Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 (edited) Just noticed that there's a node on Saturn called Janus. Considering Sargas' obsession with Orokin artefacts, could this be where the key originated? Edited June 19, 2014 by Corvid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
