Excalibur is stealing King Arthur (sword) from Excalibur (stone). It's like Excalibur-ception, Soviet Russia style. How many level do you want to delve into? You want levels? Excaliber the SWORD wasn't what made it special. The Scabbard was the source of power. So drawing the blade made the wielder vulnerable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To many people, its a symbol of warframes humble beginnings, and how they helped get the game off the ground. 7 hours ago, (Xbox One)EternalDrk Mako said: it shows DE's dedication and honoring their word it is a show of their commitment , in the beginning and continued legacy that springs forth from that origin even DE kind of said in hind sight it was a bad movie to exclusivize excalibur prime. and again, its not fair to the players that love excalibur but cant get his prime, yet literally every other frame will get primed, so fans of those frames arent screwed. which is why im happy umbra is finally coming out. i found out about the game literally right after the founders program ended, but have spent more money on the early game then alot of founders. my point is, its about time excal finally gets an alternate version. so the excal fans arent left out anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If only Arthur took kept his *ahem* Excaliber in its Scabbard and left Guenivere alone. Perhaps then, he would still have a kingdom and a best friend in Lancelot and not need a Round Table for circle j... but I digress. Cool deal with Umbra with Excalibur (sword) reference.

It's only called that in China. DE have already said Umbras are like the dark alternatives to Primes. So there will be a line of Umbra frames that have the gold trim.

If they were the same, then Umbra would be an upgrade to normal and either an upgrade or sidegrade to prime. I don't understand this mentality either as founders get both versions of excalibur. Why in the world would excal umbra have different abilities? Wasnt umbra just the china's exclusive version of excal? and if umbra did have different abilities then why is he called Excalibur umbra? Only thing i think is happening is skin and stats. Edited July 11, 2017 by Christon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Circle_of_Psi Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 (edited) Changing the subject a bit from this Founder Vs Non-Founder talk (Again...)

Idon't think people meant actuallydifferent skills but probably tweaked animations instead. ie: Slash Dash, Exalted Blade, and radial javelin getting their skanas replaced with nikanas and animations according to the weapon change.

We recently had a teaser, so I guess they are at least confident with the script of the quest which also seems to be the hardest part of creating one.

Kronxito Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 (edited) From the video: "If you could trade, would you? Surely. But all miracles require sacrifice. For their life: yours."

SurrealEdge Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 I cannot even begin to describe how lost I am and finally realizing that Ballas was replaced with a text to speech.

Stonehenge Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 (edited) I don't think so OP. Margulis was condemned to death, period. That's not a sacrifice. Ballas was astonished apparently when she faced judgement ('Margulis...why ?') I don't see him propose her to bargain her life for the tennos. Maybe i'm wrong. They said unlike the previous 'operator centred' quests, this one will be more about 'what the warframes are.' Those 'souless golem', according to Ballas himself. Imo some people were used to give basic life to the frames, their flesh or memories, but i can't imagine Marguli's spirit in the warframes. But, why not after all. That could be interesting.

Stonehenge Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 (edited) +, if i may : Just listen to his voice in the trailer. Cold, and cruel. Like the distant bastard he was.

They had this idea ages ago clearly, way back in early 2016 when the script for TWW was leaked. It's remained the same since then. Hell even the line "All miracles require sacrifice" was found back in the early scripts for TWW. So no it has not changed. Enough excuses. 6 minutes ago, LordOfScrugging said: in the current state, we just got a teaser with no definitive proof it's ready. True, but I highly doubt that we won't be getting Umbra before this year is out. 6 minutes ago, LordOfScrugging said: somewhere down the road, development might be put on hold for something else. Doubt it. They've shown it now. It's official. Can't suddenly turn around and say "Sorry we're putting him aside AGAIN." 7 minutes ago, LordOfScrugging said: If they were really gonna release umbra before PoE, they'd have given us the date stating "yea, it's this year" It is coming out this year. Things shown at Tennocon get implemented sooner or later in the year. For the most part it's looking like PoE is coming first. Don't forget they have different teams working on various projects. The people who are doing PoE are not also doing Umbra's quest. They could be developing side by side. Who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
