Verefor Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 I've manage to decode most of the Grineer alphabet Some of the things hidden in the Grineer language in-game: BE GOOD OR BE GONE GRINEER DEFENSE ASSET GROUP AUGUST IF OUR ENEMIES DESERVED PEACE THEY WOULD HAVE DEFEATED US OBEY ALL SIGNS SUPREMACY IS DUTY WANT WASS KOD S DANGER TOUCHING LIVE WIRES CAN KILL YOU WANT TO KNOW MORE WASSUP@GRINEERHERE.COM-SYSTEMWIDE I tried emailing that address but apparently it doesn't exist Also, sometimes the C's and K's are interchangable I posted this yesterday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renan.Ruivo Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 UPDATE: I am not the first one to discover this! Learn more here - http://www.reddit.com/r/Warframe/comments/1bxy1y/grineer_graffiti_and_alphabet_who_knew_they_could/ Thanks to ENBY for pointing this out! ORIGINAL POST: Hello, fellow Tenno! Operative reporting in with a vital piece of intelligence about our vicious adversary - The Grineer Empire. No longer will their hidden messages puzzle our agents in the field for I have deciphered their alphabet! So, the Devs hinted in the last livestream that they have left clues in some of the released artwork which could help decipher in-game languages. I've checked around a bit and voila! - the Grineer faction image from Fansite Kit features a caption in their language, unimaginatively reading "grineer". Using this image as a key I was able to decipher most of the grineer alphabet. "Decipher" is a rather strong word, really. Each letter of the grineer alphabet simply corresponds to a letter of English one and grineer basically speak and write English. I have compiled what I uncovered in the following image for your convenience. Note that b j k q x and z are not present, as I haven't come across a text featuring them. EDIT: fixed an incorrect "D". Thanks JudgeN for pointing it out! EDIT2: added letter "B", comma and question mark. A couple of signs from Grineer Asteroid Outpost biome, which I used to decipher the letters after the five first ones. This one reads "Supremacy is duty". And this one reads "If our enemies deserved peace - they would have defeated us". So, there you have it! Go now and uncover the secrets that grineer marines have scribbled on the walls of the bathrooms! Came in expecting a joke thread. Didn't leave.

Renan.Ruivo Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 I posted this yesterday Could have saved Fedor's time then =) Tenno Operatives don't have much time to browse threads between RL, loc work, loc forum discussion and gameplay. Good work on your job.. but IMO you should have made a thread just like Fedor did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OriKlein Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 WANT WASS KOD S Could be mistranslation (or Grineer brain deterioration), but I believe that may, logically, be "Don't Pass Codes". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feindfeuer Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 So can anyone tell me what it says on the sides of the Viper, cause it's certainly not Viper. Trying the guide(s) I come up with Serberus, which is not realy a word... though maybe the Grineer are just bad at spelling and it should read Cerberus?

Yeah I make it Serberus too, the Grineer are bad spellers so I would say it means Cerberus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
