Speaking of Second Dream, does anyone actually use operator mode for anything? I miss having the previous focus power. I forget the name, but your frame floats a bit and fires off an energy beam. That was awesome.

They're mandatory for Eidolons, which are the best boss fights in the game.

If one of those eximus assholes is within the same zipcode as you, especially on Onslaught maps, better hope you're not on a casting frame.

We've speculated that the Solaris keep their brains in their chests. What I don't think most expected was that their entire head was also attached to the brain.

Cutting a person in half usually works, only 1 time it turned out badly for the Tenno.

Look at them, they come to this place when they know they are not pure. Tenno use the keys, but they are mere trespassers. Only I, Vor, know the true power of the Void. I was cut in half, destroyed, but through its Janus Key, the Void called to me. It brought me here and here I was reborn. We cannot blame these creatures, they are being led by a false prophet, an impostor who knows not the secrets of the Void. Behold the Tenno, come to scavenge and desecrate this sacred realm. My brothers, did I not tell of this day? Did I not prophesize this moment? Now, I will stop them. Now I am changed, reborn through the energy of the Janus Key. Forever bound to the Void. Let it be known, if the Tenno want true salvation, they will lay down their arms, and wait for the baptism of my Janus key. It is time. I will teach these trespassers the redemptive power of my Janus key. They will learn its simple truth. The Tenno are lost, and they will resist. But I, Vor, will cleanse this place of their impurity.

There's a synthesis entry from I think the Grineer lancers where they basically co-operate with a bunch of Orokin fleeing the war once it's clear they've lost and they turn on the Orokin the instant they don't need them any more.

It's a two part entry.

The first is an Executor and her Sectarus, where the Executor, after enlisting the aid of Grineer, constantly belittles their ability and even openly says that they're going to dispose of the Grineer once they're done. The biggest and most intelligent Grinner of the group, named Veytok, kills her once the Sectarus Bilsa gets the shuttle working, and says to Bilsa she works for them now.

The second takes place some amount of after, where Bilsa pleading with another Orokin, Alarez, to save her from the Grineer. She says that Veytok is gathering an army of Grineer. After some back and forth, Alarez gets Bilsa to let him board, but entering through a maintenance shaft to avoid the Grineer. Entering with his Dax, Alarez orders his Dax to hold Bilsa down while he takes her her genetic information so he can have Executorial access, planning to kill her after. It's then revealed that Bilsa has been working with Grineer, willingly now, as Veytok and some Grineer kill Alarez's Dax in a surprise attack and then Alarez himself. Veytok tells Bilsa they have the frigate and the lab, and in response to her asking why they keep killing the others before she can visit, he tells her she is Grineer now.

The biggest change I'd want for Protea farming is making it so kills above the max rank matter. Right now there's literally no incentive to kill a single enemy above 75. Having it so you get more rewards the more you kill (eg. getting 150 kills gets you 2 rank 3 rewards) would make grinding much better.

Speaking of tilesets how do y'all feel about the newer tilesets having a lot more open space?

Personally I think it's a good thing since it helps prevent bullet jumping into a wall stopping your momentum.

Disruption really is just the superior Defense. Massive enemy spawns for fun times killing and letting crowd control frames have a purpose, the "defense" targets don't die unless you let the miniboss get to them (so they dont get swarmed to death by the hundreds of enemy mooks), and the miniboss enemies are tough enough that single target killers are useful. You're kept reasonably mobile searching for keys/the miniboss which is half the fun of Warframe. Probably the best reward rotation of any mission, with the C rewards (the only rewards that matter) being forever after 2 initial A/B rotations.

Thoughts I have had:
This game suffers from the common MMO problem of not signposting its villains enough. Who is this man/robot/potato, and why do I need to punch them in the face/perceptors/eyes so badly? The in-mission briefing is the first I've heard of any of my assassination targets. Especially glaring with Alad V, who is apparently kind of a big deal, and I shot him in the face with no preamble. I think I killed Vay Hek Terra Frame before I killed the regular one.

See, a lot of Warframe's story and lore is in the limited time events, where we get poo poo like Salad V Once Again Poking poo poo That Would Kill Him And Then Crying to The Tenno For Help, Vay Hek's latest compensation project, Frohd Bek's new larynx, why half the fanbase wants Tyl Regor's voice to raw them (specifically the voice), etc.

Like, some of Vay Hek's most meme-able lines comes from a livestream where he "interrupted" the regular broadcast.

DE have said the only thing that prevents you the player from using Transference on anything and everything is that they can't spend the time and effort rigging up the animations, moves, etc. for every enemy and/or object in the game. Lore-wise the Tenno can possess anything.

He's supposedly responsible for the Necraloid entries, which are some of the best pieces of writing from Warframe in recent history IMO.

40k has a fuckton of writers, which means any of their entries will vary wildly in quality. IDK what this dude's pedigree is, but if they're on the level of the Necraloid stuff I hope his does more in that vein.

Or just scrap the whole thing and give us new on-foot missions using that cool-rear end Sentient tileset that's basically going to waste in a game mode that is only grudgingly engaged with by most of the player base.

Something I didn't think about earlier is missiles and dome charges being a player-base thing, which removes the need for a forge monkey but means the pilot and artillery (the same person, in a lot of cases) is going to be making a hell of a lot of trips to the forge. At this point just remove the forge and have enemies drops replenish ammo/revolite.

Crafting stuff in the forge will still refill everyone's stuff.

So Xaku is junk right?

I saw the crafting requirements for his systems and I'm like "NOPE" and considered buying him with plat, but everyone tells me he's trash tier, and weirdly, really janky.
Like, he has a ton of unfinished assets and glitchy sound effects.

Xaku is referred to with they/them, just a heads up.

Also I found them to be pretty fun. Their gameplay essentially boils down to "add some extra void damage to all your weapons, steal everyone's guns (which scale to enemy level meaning they'll always be relevant), and run around naked (with a very high damage reduction/dodge which also pauses your ability timers)". It's a bit to get used to but I found them enjoyable to play.
