There's no relatable people to us because DE wanted the universe to be weird. The closest we have is actually the Tenno, who are kids using a proxy avatar to do sick action combat and collect things for the sake of doing better action combat.

The world is filled with regular people working in the Syndicate offices, loitering in relays saying random stuff, manning street booths in Cetus, etc. It's just that the ones 'we' tend to focus on are the gods and demigods of this universe (everyone with a name is immortal and most have super powers) who spend their days scheming and quarreling like gods and demigods do in every universe.

Crouch would be on the same button as every other game, which is toggle crouch on alt. That way you can alternate between alt and spacebar for bulletjumping easily with your thumb while doing whatever else with the 4 remaining fingers. Having an extra non-toggle crouch on C is also good, so you can hit octavia invisibiity faster.

I really enjoy my Dagger Zaw (Balla/Peye/Vargeet II Jai) , but I recently had both Shimmering Blight and Twirling Spire drop for me so I'm thinking I should give Polearms another crack. Plague event re-run will happen soon on PS4, so what should I be looking out for (and which grips/links should I have built ahead of time) if I want to make a Polearm of mass destruction? Are there any other non-plague zaw combinations recommended to check out in the meantime?

I'm probably going to keep using the dagger on Inaros because it effectively makes him even more immortal, but having other strong zaws for other frames seems like a good investment.

I think that the Corpus were another series of Orokin slave states and vassals, their leaders claim to be descendants, but definitely aren't Twin Queens tier Orokin. They are cheap fakes, making Nef Anyo proud, both of himself and of his colleagues.


I kinda wonder why the Tenno were surprised at the continuity thing, they should have known as they were once Orokin, so that Grammy changing bodies shouldn't be a surpise. Actually they need not have been Orokin and I realize I've only assumed they were, some of them probably are but there's a good chance there's a number of slave state subjects, and Margulis didn't tell them too much.

It's a running thing that out Tenno have only fractured half memories of their past, if that. For instance, we had no idea who the Hell Rell was. Our trip down memory lane with the Queens seems to be the first time our Tenno has remembered anything from before waking up to Vor strapping a dongle to their leg.

I wonder what that did to Earth's orbital mechanics, I hope the entry in and the exit from the void didn't mess them up too badly.

since the moon ended up getting sucked into the void, how did that affect earth in a way? wouldn't it cause a major shift intides as well as changes in seasons? maybe i'm speaking out of my rear end since it has been a long time since I learned space sciences or whatever.

It's since the patch. It has nothing to do with Discharge being able to cast, but the cast itself just doesn't seem to do anything. I've watched Volts in EOS cast Discharge, the electrical ring spread and do its thing, and... nothing. Mobs don't get stunned, don't shock each other, nada.

^This. And with Trinity it was like the UI just said I had overshield when I didn't actually have it. Taking 50 damage would make the shield instantly go from 1650 down to 400.

Tides would die out, orbit would be slightly modified by the suddenly missing mass counterweight. Possibly quite unpleasant, but I don't really care to calculate it because Rhino can canonically disrupt space-time by stomping.

Stomping with a little help from the void

These two races rose up after the fall of the Orokin, and have been fighting for power for millennia, I guess nearly a thousand years. The only thing stopping either of them from winning is the occasional outbreak of the infestation, a virus which hardcore mutates both technology and biology into HR Giger paintings.

I know that this is comic book anime fantasy stuff but I hope it isn't literally thousands of years of the same state of affairs in the origin system. I always thought that it was a couple centuries since the Old War at most.

He does call Alad V an Orokin, but given that Allad V doesn't have freaky hands or Orokin decorations, nor does hehe steal bodies, for that, not the rest, we can assume him to be human, or whatever human-proximal Corpus biotech the Corpus used to be. Spacegrandpa is just really racist IMO.

When it comes to time, it's important to remember that the void is around and that time, life and death don't make much sense around here. Also the Grineer are genetically modded to be loyal on the physiological level and the Corpus is a bunch of theocratic plutocracies so loyalty and compliance is probably well enforced.

Do all Orokin have freaky hands or just Ballas? Marguilis doesn't seem to have any genetic oddities about her assuming that the Lotus' imitation of her form is correct and Ballas' typical outfit almost made it look like he was trying to conceal his weird arm.
