(PSN)TheArrowOfGod Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 I mean, Darvo woke up with CRATES of them. Someone is mass producing skins for Nyx. Shouldn't this be addressed? Everyone just sorta glossed over it.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revel72 Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 It is just a skin. We are not playing Mass Effect with it now are we? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagPrime Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 The Excal proto skin is the same. It's just a nod to Dark Sector and isn't cannon for this universe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renegade343 Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 It's just a nod to Dark Sector and isn't cannon for this universe. Of course the Proto Skin is not a cannon for this universe. Heck, one cannot even use it to light the fuse! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldDeoxys Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 It's based off the Nyx from Dark Sector and that is not official lore for Warframe so I wouldn't worry about the whole Darvo deal and just focus on the fact it's an awesome skin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bibliothekar Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 I wouldn't take lore too serious in this case. People have been asking for Nemesis Nyx for over a year now (since DE gave us Proto Excal), so they decided to put her in the game and made up a quick backstory instead of just saying "here, have limited time offer". And I'm totally ok with that. It even makes a bit more sense than the backstories to some of the previous events and tactical alerts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valiant Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 (edited) Oh good grief. Not everything has to be tied into lore. It's just an optional model. Edited May 1, 2015 by Naith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGuyver Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 There's no discussions, there's no giant illuminate lore tie in, there's no need to overthink it. It's a skin plain and simple, if you can't enjoy it for that fact then you take the game ENTIRELY too seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morec0 Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 The Excal proto skin is the same. It's just a nod to Dark Sector and isn't cannon for this universe. DE's statement in the wake of it that says "yes, Warframe and Dark Sector are inextricably linked" says otherwise. As for this... Well, there were more than one Suit in Dark Sector. Perhaps variants were made after this, modeled after the Nemesis variant that was used in that game. The CIA had a whole enclave devoted to future technologies, after all, and whoever those suits got there in the first place it could very well be they would later attempt to replicate them - or simply produce more. Cut to thousands of years, and much digging on the part of the Grineer and Corpus - later, and you have these suits being uncovered. I doubt there's as many as are walking around lore-wise - same with the Proto-Excalibur (same logic behind multiple people in WoW wielding the Corrupted Ashbringer - but enough to warrant "crates", in the plural.

manub Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 technically, Dark sector is canon in warframe universe as DE stated in a devstream that Hayden the protagonist was the 1st tenno But this is just an anniversary skin, don't think too deep about lore implications, it's just a nod to the previous game if you REALLY insist, the suits in dark sector were prototypes, doesn't mean it couldn't be mass produced after the 1st game timeline Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean lore or no lore, this is DE's game... There's no reason to be so strict about it. The Lex also looks like the pistol from Dark Sector... Multi-shot mods aren't realistic...

faustias Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 those are just skins jfc... and what Darvo said is just a script for the purpose of selling it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urlan Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 I don't see the Nemesis Skin as a break of lore honestly, I see it as a building on an existing framework and embracing what makes it unique. As More0 has stated, DarkSector is Warframe's past both spirtually and in-universe now. I like that, stuff like the Proto Armors give a greater sense of history that the game otherwise lacked. What were the Orokin? At least we know now that they are something that came after DarkSector's modernish setting and before our grim space future, with a Great Plague or two thrown in there to spice things up a bit. I am hoping we see more of these logical progressions of original ideas from DarkSector and Warframe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morec0 Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Well there are also those candy bar skin so... Hey, Tenno like their candy... But I equate those as I do with all the other Holiday/RL-event skins (i.e. mustaches): they're the non-canon fun elements. This, on the other hand - and yes, I WILL defend this until DE says otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bibliothekar Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 I feel like I'm ploughing a lonely furrow, but as I understood the OP, s/he doesn't have a problem with the Nemesis Nyx skin being in the game, but rather with the way it was introduced (viz. Darvo's message that he had a few space beers too much with a vendor and is now sitting on several crates of it). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I had more time to disagree with you but, using my phone to post and this is a nightmare. In sbort, nope. I agree Dark Sector and Warframe are loosely linked, it's stated as much in another outside article based off an interview with DE. If indicates wasn't included, then ai would agree with that as well, however, it's I there and it changes the sentences compeltely, i.e., dark clodues indicate its going to rain but that doesnt mean that it is raining. Take into account DE's love of being mysterious as well. That one words keeps them with a foot on either side of the commitment line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
