If they want to give him something special, it might make sense releasing him into a big update (u18.5 is the closest thing to the "2 months guess" given a while back by steve, given that u18.5 is here with no Umbra, U19 is the closest big update now. I'd still expect him to come later anyways) Spoiler 7 hours ago, siralextraffo said: Looking at your post, apparently not!

After almost 10 months of a fully developed frame sitting in the bench waiting to be released? After all this time of listening DE saying that they want "something special" for him, and no giving any acurate info? You must be joking Not a chance.

Though, on the other side I don't think that a 2 months guess can turn into 6, no matter how wild it was! Now it should start the classic middle time between big updates when there's nothing big too close to be discussed or shared regarding the upcoming update, which sounds to me like a perfect time to share some info on side projects, as Umbra.

Zalvion Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 (edited) As a newer player who likes excalibur i hope DE doesn't mess this up. from what i can gather a lot of the community that loves excalibur would give an arm and a leg to have an excalibur prime and will be disappointed if they cant get a reasonable substitute at some point. I think the ideal release for Umbra would go as follows. Give us Excalibur Umbra as a quest or grind reward. Make it have the same ability kit as the other two excaliburs and only change its stats so its better than regular excalibur and seperate but equal than prime. (Prime has 25 more armor (i think?), Umbra gets a boost in a different department or something as well as differnt polarities.) Keep the exact same looks at the Chinese Version and also allow it to have the Prime Passive that allows it to interact with death orbs. I think a release like this would widely satisfy those who desire Excalibur Prime but will never be able to have it.

The only thing I might suggest is changing the passive, making it, I dunno, weirder. I'll see if anything suggests itself to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
