optyk Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 So uh, was thinking whilst waiting for U14. Not sure if this belongs here, sorry if it does not. How about an event where we must save Lotus from becoming Infested? We could already use the harvesting mechanics on Earth built into the game -just go back to Earth and gather X amounts of plants for the 'cure'. Craft them up etc. Or if you want the pure combat side, do combat related missions where you fight off the Infested from making progress towards Lotus herself. I would presume the Infested would be 'called' to her since she was turning? Lotus' in-game transmissions could work like when we are Marked by the G3. All static with a Infested growl sound to them, having Lotus calling out for help and to hurry etc.. Grineer are involved because they want to take the fight to the Tenno from the inside out? Corpus are involved due to weaponizing and the profits involved? Infested are involved because what's better than Infested Tennos to seal the deal on domination? If the community wins, maybe another Lotus themed weapon like the Dex Furis but melee? And a cool lookin' Badge of course. If the community loses, it could have a negative impact on something, perhaps a damage buff to the infested AND that opens another event to now Tenno have to defeat the Infested Lotus and return her back to normal. Half the assets(new infested tilesets, earth, harvesting mechanic etc) are already in the game as well. Could also use this event as an introduction to that giant Infested creature thats in the works? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aver Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 honestly id rather meeting the lotus be some big thing down the line in your quest lines, instead of just some event where we again dont get to see anything besides what she shows us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NICKTHECHAMP11 Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 But no one knows the Lotus' location. I couldn't really see this working with her, but maybe with another character like Darvo, or maybe someone completely new to the game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shifted Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 There was a screen with "go meet the lotus" as objective in that UI iteration gif from the dorian/pablo interview. I'm assuming it's gonna be sneakily added to U14 as one of the stages of the tutorial quest. The hype is real. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You guys missed it, but an earlier version of the UI mockups had her instructing us to murder sleeping tenno so that we could understand what "true loss" is.

Llyssa Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 To the OP: As we're all infested, and the lotus is connected to all awakened tenno, it seems like she's likely already infested too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Small part of my brain still believes. After all, it would make sense to meet Lotus in person during the tutorial.)

SFkenny Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 (edited) Lotus is pretty clearly an AI though. How would she get Infested? Oh wait, affects Corpus drones too... Edited July 17, 2014 by SFkenny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't really see this working with her, but maybe with another character like Darvo, or maybe someone completely new to the game! Don't think her location needs to be revealed or even kept a super secret forever. Just picked her because of her popularity, shes our 'handler', some think she has her own agenda and most of the assets for her are already there in game. As far as Darvo, I'd love to see him on the Social Stations as a 3D model as a interactive in-game character to access the DE Store and or player market.

Yup that sounds cool too. This was more of a precursor idea, this way DE does not have to dump that much time into her backstory and everything else asset wise , a nice event where we learn a little and still want more later type of deal.

I did not know that. If we[Tennos] all carry the Infested gene thats even better to add story wise. Who messes with genes the most? Grineer! Still relates to Earth and harvesting and the overall event idea for each faction. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrayWo1fe Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 (edited) Warframe Lore Spoiler Alert: The Tenno are immune to the technocyte virus ( The Infestation ). Especially since their suits are -supposed- to be made out of the same bio-armor the infested seem to have grown upon infection.Edit: As said before this does mean the Tenno are technically infested.

Edit: As said before this does mean the Tenno are technically infested. Hmmm, Technocyte themed armor skins? Would be cool. Is Lotus 'Tenno'? Either way, the idea is still plausible with gene manipulation/triggering. I mean holy crap the Grineer should be giant, no-boned skin bags by now just siting on the floor... heh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
