(PSN)JaysInc_ Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 (edited) So with Hentai Hydroid Prime released, temporarily marking the end of the male priming cycle, comes Zephyr and soon after Mirage. So when Zephyr Prime gets announced and released in the coming 3-4 months, how will you think DE will handle Mirage's priming? EDIT: Just to clarify, I'm just wondering about the lore implications, not the mechanics. And yes I know all frames get prime, just wondering.

(PSN)joe03827 Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 Ummm i don't see a problem with that. Why wouldn't there be a mirage prime? Being a quest frame really doesn't change things much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teh_Bowart Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 Relic system? I mean, it doesn't matter that we got the Mirage through a quest really, all original (prime) versions of warframes (except excalibur ofc) are obtained through the relic system and there is no reason to do it any other way really.

Imaru Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 They won't difinitely go in release order, so it is possible we get Mesa or Equinox Prime (Equinox is officially a female warframe before anyone argues that) before Mirage. As to how they'd make it work? I have no idea. Volt and Banshee come from the Tenno Lab and they drop as normal, and Vauban comes from alerts, and yet relics are still how he can be found. Quests would pose an interesting challenge to prime as they imply that there aren't a whole lot of these items floating around, whereas a boss fight or other aquisition there are as many as you need to find. Perhaps they were more abundant in the Orokin Empire, so there are more blueprints to be found (in lore). This is supported by the Octavia Comic, where we see several Octavias standing as an escort for Suda at the end (I think). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(XBOX)Grimsley Clause Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 I don't understand why the original Mirages wouldn't be Primed...? I thought it was understood that we replicate the Blueprints for Quest frames of scraps we can recover through the quest, with the Original being the one the quest is about.

I think in "canon" it can be assumed that we kill them once and get all the parts we need from them at once. The robotic bosses we probably do kill more often.

Well, Sentinels according to lore are non-agressive remnants of Sentients, which in turn would make them Orokin by default since they created the Sentients in the first place. We don't have neither confirmation nor denial as far as lore goes that the Orokin themselves used sentinels, but I wouldn't put it past them. The ones found by the Tenno and the rest probably are just remains/mass produced versions. Edited September 7, 2017 by aligatorno Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hixlysss Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 Same thing that happened with valkyr prime I believe. Lore implications were heavy there as well. As for mirage's quest...I view it simply as every other warframe. We had simply forgotten she existed, and the quest reminded us of her and how to make her, much like, in my mind, when we fight bosses like Sargus Ruk. We don't actually rip a part of a warframe out of their corpse, but the fight causes us to remember how to build X/Y/Z warframe part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't Helios considered Cephalon Tech (with Simulator and Heliocor)? I mean it is kinda iffy when it comes down to Simaris and Suda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think in "canon" it can be assumed that we kill them once and get all the parts we need from them at once. The robotic bosses we probably do kill more often. If we get all 3 parts at once, then that still counteracts your argument that Warframe part blueprints retrieved from bosses are more common in the canon. They'd be no more common than the ones we get from quests, because like killing bosses, we only do it once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually we have truly *killed* very few bosses - Vay Hek, Jordas for sure, from then on we have seen Bosses suffering from the Vor syndrome.

Sloan441 Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 She'll be like any other prime warframe: you'll farm relics and get parts to construct her in the forge. The only one I see significantly parting from the usual prime merry-go-round is Equinox. That one...should be interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if you can truly kill any infested manifestation. I think once they develop to that level they can always regrow somewhere else IE phorid. And Vay "fly my butt outta here" Hek bails at the end of LoR too. Also didn't Alad mention us thinking we killed him when we tossed him into Jupiter...??? As for Vor I personally believe he can not die until he is done giving his speech, and it never ends... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redeyedtreefrog Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 yeah there's no lore holes in mirage's priming. The mirage we were told about in the quest probably WAS mirage prime, just too badly damaged to get the info required to replicate it to its fullest potential. Then we'll start discovering pristine schematics for these prime parts and build mirage prime. No muss, no fuss, no confusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The quests where we receive the parts of the frame are just damaged versions of the prime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
13QZXXTTX Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 http://www.tennoclocknews.com/warframe-release-and-prime-log/ Digital Extremes does not follow particular order, up to DEcision. DE did make it clear not to be super-dissapointed (over-hyped) until things is Confirmed. Don't forget, [Aklex Prime] Relics is from Baro. Hydroids well DEserved Prime Trailer has still to be worked on. DO NOT go OVER-HYPED. That mean Next Prime might have to be pushed further, even to make room for follow up Prime Trailer.
