(PSN)Ch1b1N1njaGam1ng Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 I cant be the only one who screamed "HOLY S**T UMBRA!!" at the screen of my tablet (much to the dismay of my parents trying to sleep). But after that instantly came my fear of what could happen. Two words rang in my head that made my blood run cold. Umbra...Access... Its been swimming in my mind for too long I need to know if this will be another paywall locked thing. Ok, moving on from that, Theory. DE stated that Umbra may have different abilities altogether from the original and prime variant of Excalibur so... Rather than Umbra being a DPS frame like Excalibur/Prime, He could be a Stealth Frame What do you guys think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)abbacephas Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 I assume Umbra will work the same way as any Prime: You'll have Umbra Access and you can farm for him in the game. I see no reason DE would change this model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping this is the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope it's the complete frame though. That would be awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airwolfen Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 Well That is to be seen, as umbra is not just a quest. It is the next cinematic quest even. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that Umbra is merely a reskin of a prime/vanilla frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They clearly stated however that the teaser they were going to show was for the next cinematic quest, and that is when they showed the teaser for "the sacrifice" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dawn11715 Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 (edited) Back to the question: I heard somewhere that Umbras are supposed to be warframes that lack an operator (Like the stalker?) so it would be possible for excalibur Umbra to be an NPC instead or on top of being a playable warframe.

Then... why are you spending time playing a video game or posting on that game's forums? If you have time to play a video game then you have time to farm parts.

Jobistober Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 No frame has ever been pay locked. If Excal Umbra drops in an upcoming quest, then his acquisition will be no different than any other frame (grind or market). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Family, work, bills, life etc probably more important the content in a video game. I'll never understand the mentality of being able to have it all. If someone is too busy to play a game thats primary method of content acquisition is FARMING then they are playing a game not targeted at them or they likely have no time to play the game much in the first place. People with lives that busy probably have more important stuff to do then worry about digital content in a game.

Liminal Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 I don't know what it is, but I seriously don't want Umbra to be yet another prefix/suffix. I don't want 3 versions of every frame. I hope it's some sort of meaningful modifier or choice you have to make ("a sacrifice"?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(XBOX)Quedakid11 Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 It said if u could trade ... Would you.... I think u sacrifice something to lose link to prime frames so to say and just get umbra frames or if you want the umbra the access to the normal or prime variant is removed hence the sacrifice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you're reading way too far into the Umbra teaser. The sacrifice is in reference to something in lore, not the market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
