Is there a reason we can't sell Umbra for credits?

So what you're saying is we could rebuild it if we wanted to?

Yes, but he wouldn't howl or be self-aware like the one we resurrected. You probably(?) missed the other important elements which help explain why Umbra actual, by comparsion to any Warframe we built from mere blueprints and files, remembers things. In effect, 3D-printed replicas that don't include actual original parts have 0% memory; he would be the same as Umbra Prime from Chinaframe.

Here's an example to help make sense of all this. Let's say you manage to kill the Stalker and tear him into a few pieces, and take those dead pieces to your Orbiter after scanning them so Ordis can compile him back together again. You rebuild him and he gets out of the Arsenal and...

Get the concept now? Only reason Umbra is a living, sapient 'best of the Dax(citation needed)' or 'Master Dax' who remembers is because we took what was left of him and pieced him back together, with help from Ordis to synthesize the rest of the missing body.

Simple, because they don't want to have support dealing with the onslaught of a bazillion support tickets when Umbra actually becomes useful in either another quest line or when the Sentient content finally hits. Which based on the release implications of Umbra should be Soon™

As far as i'm aware we have always been able to sell warframes for credits, even excal prime. Does this mean umbra will be a vital roll in the future and will we be stuck with just an excal version? would have been nice if we were able to pick what frames we wanted to be umbra, from the starter selection (that includes loki).

He'll probably breakout from the arsenal and undertaker choke slam you like in the cut scene if you tried.

You’re telling me you want to sell a Living, Sentient, and Thinking Being for credits?

Someone arrest this guy.

I mean if that's not sentient idk what that is.

Sentience means that it’s capable of making decisions and having morality. It can feel sadness and emotion. It is aware of what you’re doing. Basically, it’s means Umbra is like a human. You’re selling a creature that understands that it is being sold.

Yeaaah well that decision to pull the giant a** sword through his chest killing himself in a process in order to save you should be enough to not want to sell any warframe for credits if you care about that.

honestly it's probably there to prevent idiots from selling one-time quest rewards 

 

gives support more time to address other things

^^^ This ^^^

There are threads all the time "I sold [insert Quest frame] and now want it back but don't want to buy it with Plat how do I get it again?"

Usual answer being call support but if it too long you're out of luck

So this stops that happening and you didn't have to buy a slot so no loss.

lol did you really need to make a thread regarding such a simple question that you could have answered in 10 seconds yourself? its to prevent people from selling umbra then asking DE to add it back to thier accounts lol also Spoilers-umbra has its on sentience so lore wise you cant just kick him out lmao
