So he seemingly put this aesthetic all over his Primes and I shudder. Primes hardly strike me as “SUN”. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Othergrunty Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Also primes come in white and black variant. Which does not speak for a pure sun motive. If anything primes also follow the light/dark or yin/yang motive that we now see in multiple areas of the game (Equinox, Operator morality, general idea of Tenno keeping "balance"). I guess Steve's "MOON" thing might just be some expansion of Lua since that's where the whole Sacrifice quest will be centered on again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s take the thread in a fun direction: BOMBSHELL, GAMECHANGING SPECULATION: GO! Cinematic: “We see the moon falling apart around Excal Umbra (Tennocon 2017 Teaser). It might seem like Lotus is dying, but this is only partially true. NATAH is RE-AWAKENING. A recorded distress signal is received by Ordis. Lotus: “Tenno, if you are receiving this, I have been taken and we are running out of time. Find me and bring me home and make me whole again, Tenno. The safety of the Earth and the Solar System depends on it.” Just then, outside your liset, you see the Moon literally crack in half like an Egg. From it’s hollowed center emerges a GIGANTIC SENTIENT SHIP with the Lotus symbol at it’s core. It begins to glow with Eldritch Power. Your Tenno “looks” down, and you realize that the Sigil on it’s chest is also glowing in concert...a Sigil symbolic of Natah (Tennocon 2018 Digital Pack). The giant ship begins moving towards Earth’s atmosphere. Ordis: “Operator...What do we do?” FADE TO BLACK.

At this point Umbra will NEVER live up to the amount of hype it has accumulated over the years and, excepting the fashionframe edgelords who just want a dark-themed Excal, most of us will probably be left thinking "all that time waiting for this?" Umbra honestly sounds like TWW 2.0. Omg.. I just realised.. I'm a fashionframe edgelord. Also.. maybe it's already time to start updating my warframe client? I smell Umbra getting closer.

Indeed. It then opens the door to arguments trying to define or quantify "useful". Useful in defense? In survival? In Hydron? Personally, I don't understand where the useful/useless arguments are coming from. DE said Umbras would be different, not useful per se. Since every frame has a particular niche and purpose, arguing whether or not Umbras will be "useful" is akin to asking if Valkyr is useful, or if Saryn is useful when the two serve completely different purposes and have separate use cases, making Valkyr useless for wide-area CC and Saryn useless for head-on melee on Mot.

_Lucifer Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 As these are new variants of the frames, they might make the first three frames made as umbra specific? Maybe? Side thought, what if Umbra is a different faction. The reasoning behind this is there are different weapon variants, such as: Telos, Vandal, Vaykor. So what if Umbra is made by another faction, stats may be more or less the same, but the system may be different (example how Cernos Prime shoots multiple arrows and Tiberon Prime has many modes other than their conterparts) So maybe they might implement the red veil as it's energy source? And maybe Exalted Blade might have different modes such as Dual, Heavy, Rapier style, Throwable Exalted Blade which one could switch through. Or maybe Umbra can steal other Warframe powers? (Maybe they'll make a Warframe like that) But back to the point. Considering they are a different variants (and according to my first thought compared to weapon variants) but not all frames will get Umbra. SO Umbra must have a power, role or something which is similar to all Umbra variants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Lucifer Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Alright looked it up. An "Umbra" is when two sources of light overlap and it creates a shadow behind it. [Look it up] So another theory is that Umbra is a mixture of two Frames. Or could be a mixture of two energy sources, like the Red Veil and the Void. OR could mean that two different faction (For example Orokin and Sentinals or two other factions) happened to make a Warframe by giving it 2 different things.

(XBOX)MintyFreshMike Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 Completely my opinion and theoretical What if Excalibur umbra isn't just a prime version. What if it's a completely different frame. Like what if it was an experimental frame that was being worked on by the orokin but it was never used and got locked up or something. That would explain the prime look. It's basically like the orokin were doing a rework of the Excalibur and the results of that work were never seen. It's completely theoretical though.

-BV-CruelDarkness Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 that seems plausible tbh i am very interested in warframes plot myself i just wish there was more content that actually made a story, i hate being so into the stuff and having to wait YEARS for another cliff hanger man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteCr0w Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 In my own head canon, Umbra Frames were those responsible for the murder of the Orokin on that fateful day. This is hinted at when the Stalker seems surprised and hesitates upon seeing the Tenno separated from a Warframe. He bore witness to the slaughter, but apparently was not aware of what Operators were, so it could be that what he and the other Low Guardians saw were rogue Warframes rebelling against their creators, and not the Tenno. Why would they do such a thing? The reasons are copious. For one, it's no secret that the Orokin were heavily corrupt, decadent, and dangerous even unto themselves. Perhaps a certain subset of Frames, those without an Operator, capable of enacting their own will sensed (Or even uncovered) the betrayal of the Orokin to dispose of their weapons (Tenno, Frames) and struck first. It could be possible that Umbras played a major role in the downfall of the Empire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
