    Buckle up. We Destiny now.



    Bet you never thought all the white stuff in Orokin tilesets was flesh. Certainly puts things in perspective.

    Some other good stuff from TC.

    New frame based around glass. Odd idea but seems interesting.

    I'm only moderately interested about Umbra at this point. Hopefully it's something more than just reskin/restat.

    Also, good to see Sentients finally kicking in the gear. Assuming those big mechas are Sentients. Could also be some sort of Orokin guardian automatons, considering their design and theme of salvaging Orokin tech. Interested to see more.

    And I was mainly surprised about the glass-theme 'cause it's not that common and I thought there would be some popular stereotypes they haven't used yet. Though SciFi writers like to use lot of advanced forms of transperent materials in their worldbuilding. Chainglass (Neal Asher) and hyperdiamond (Alastair Reynolds) to mention few.

    The frame also looked like some sort of gladiator in its first concept with hammer/mace and all. I'll definitely give DE props for trying some new unique themes for frames, as they have been having very good and unique audiovisual direction with WF lately.

    yes, it's glassteel from D&D, which is fine because Star Wars isn't really sci-fi XD

    Though, are not Sentients not Orokin guardian automata gone horribly awry?

    And, this looks friggin awesome... as for the Umbra 'frames I'm far more interested in how they fit in the lore than any mechanical differences (also, thinking of it, Umbra Ash might be very slick...).

    In a way, yes.

    Though I still make distinction between Sentients, true AI that got affected by whatever there is in Tau system, and more simple automatons and AI (like Cephalons and Neural Sentries) that Orokins kept using as aides.

    Of course it's possible Orokins used some form of "Sentients" in Origin system for other tasks, like warfare. Being adabtale and resilient, they would be extremely powerful military asset even without true intelligence. What we saw in the video could be something like that.

    Servers had an upgrade yesterday in prep for Eidolon. Specifically the PS4 servers. We're getting very close to release.

    yes, friction is one of the things they might make a minor change to without significant backlash ;)

    "While the Plains of Eidolon comes with its own map:

    [​IMG]

    A roadmap appears to guide your continued journey to the Plains! Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet?



    This roadmap serves gives information on the following:

    • The Quest for Gara!
    • Expected Launch Window!


    The Quest for Gara - Glassframe has a name and it's Gara - inspired by the Design Council submission of 'Garasu'. Since Mirage's release we've strongly favoured releasing a Warframe's free path with quests. Gara's release will be no different.

    However the quest for Gara is likely going to be delayed by a week, due to a scheduling conflict with one of our key Ostron actors… however, because Gara is ready, she will be in the Market for those able to support us. If you cannot, that’s fine too - we’ll be adding Gara’s parts to the Cetus reward tables to give you a head start for when her quest does release. We will follow with Gara's story as soon as it's ready if it doesn't make the release!


    Expected Launch Window - this is the part of the roadmap that people may pull over at and put on their hazard lights. The goal is to launch within the next 10 days - when the official Hub site launches there will be more information there.

    Are we there yet? Almost!

    Thank you everyone for your great patience as we put this all together,

    Love,
    DE Warframe Team!"

    Yesterday, from Rebecca. So, in couple of weeks it seems.
    Btw, to put scale of plains in perpective, in the stream Rebecca was running around B-E/6-7 area. Main entrance is the black square.
    Not huge, but still big enough for exploration and random wandering. And there will be more areas like this in future on other planets.

    And a crazy blank-like grid location. >.> Nah, that's probably just the town. Also, my heart skipped a beat when I read " The goal is to launch within the next 10 days". Now, given that it's with a grain of salt (as they said, it's a goal... and it's DE, so they will put breaks on if they feel the need to (which is a good thing)), I seem to have been hit with the Hype Train all over again. XD

    Okay, so I know it's exciting and all, but really? All over the map? I mean, come on!
