Hmm? An anniversary teaser site. I wonder what that could entail....perhaps the sacrifice? 

Mostly going to be with the Dex items, however, since it seems like a full site, (got that from “more details about everything to come”.) it does indicate we may get some info on something other than Dex. I doubt it’s going to be the Sacrifice though, as the Venus landscape will bring in more players, than the Sacrifice. No offence.

Think what you will. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

I THINK it looks like little to no work has been done on the sacrifice since it was teased 8 months ago. Let me just restate this for anyone in the back. DE HAS BEEN WORKING ON UMBRA FOR THREE YEARS. Three years and they still haven't even come close to finishing his quest. What in gods name is taking them so long? Do they just not care?

1.  Open world business model priority ensures longevity of the game.

2.  Before I repost what I said before, consider Steve might be pulling a "rope-a-dope"...

3.  You just got a FREE new Excal skin equivalent to what China had to pay for.

4....

My speculation is that they went from a skin to a quest for a skin to an entire revenue stream for a third line of frames using existing loot mechanics.

Primes/Prime parts required to make Umbras would instantly reinvigorate the market and Vaulted pack purchases.

They give us Excal Umbra free with the Sacrifice because Excal Prime is exclusive.

Lore rework and Cinematics would be vastly more resource-intensive as well.

Steve's job is to keep the game going and keep it awesome.  Let's trust him.  The DE team busts their asses.

True. But the reason I like Umbra so much is because he doesn't suffer from the early primes lack of added detail. Excal has no bulk on him when compared to like, vauban and vauban prime. Dexcal looks really cool but it's just a reskin, kinda hoped they would remodel him with the skin (thats the impression I got from the concept art)

Subjectivity.  Many will tell you that the sleek minimalism in Excal's original skin makes it the best iteration of them all.

Umbra designs will (still) likely be tied to Stalker in terms of modeling.

Maybe Steve's joking and they release it on 25 March or 1 April.

If not, then most likely after Tennocon.

Unbelievable. TWW was announced at TennoCon and released in the same year. The Sacrifice will have been delayed for a whole year if it really does come out after TC. They said they wanted to get it out before Plains of Venus. What on earth is taking them so long after all this time...

todays my birthday , hope for umbra news in dev stream

Don't put too much hope on getting some Umbra info. It will be the usual "Were working on it, can't tell in public."

Sorry to disappoint you but Happy Birthday!

I've been asking that same question for a year and a half, and I can't figure out a logical explanation. Other than PoE and the eidolons eating most of their dev time.

Think about it.

PoE provided a huge bump on steam.  Venus was likely fast-tracked once they found out how the activity impacted Revenues.

That big a bump demonstrates tremendous interest from new players and returning players.

Umbra has a fanatical following of hardcore, long-term players (subscribers).

"It's often those who love you the most that you end up hurting."

It feels like this when you see [DE] Steve tweet about the unfinished script, yes?

But if you take a step back, and look at it objectively, [DE] Steve and his team continue to deliver great content at an amazing pace while keeping Warframe and DE in a financially healthy place and have done so for the past 5 years.

For that, he has my loyalty, confidence, and a very patient "tip o' the cap".
