This and just about everything else is why I find people like whomever said "the lore is awesome it's not that typical haphazard intern stuff!" out of their goddamned minds. To each their own and it's fine that some people enjoy it but it feels to me like they have set out to be as scattershot and contradictory as possible while simultaneously not letting any of it take on any weight beyond codex text or whatever.

I guess I'm a sucker for "lore" that has large chunks of :iiam: in it, whether on purpose or by accident.

IT'S ME, BURROWS!

IT WAS ME ALL ALONG, BURROWS!
I think they explicitly said Stalker isn't Hayden Tenno in one stream because the forums and chat wouldn't shut up about it.

Improbable Lobster posted:

I'd love to hear more about the early versions of the lore. It's always neat to see how much things have changed, especially when the older stuff was goofy :allears:
Grineer media had a charity event which was a front for child labor munitions assembly. It became a runaway success when the Grineer lady running the show had a malfunction in the tear ducts of her eye implants halfway through. There were also Tenno children at that stage. Let's be honest, I really just want a Skoom channel that's nothing but SKOOOOOOM 24/7. We could put it on jumbotrons all over the clan dojo.
There were various civilians, colonists, clans, etc. doing their own thing - mining, scavenging, research, stumbling upon Orokin tombs and running the gently caress away.
Grineer were an Earth-based scavenger clan that nobody took seriously until suddenly cloning. When they took a ship, anyone killed fighting back would be collected for clone stock. Noncombatants and anyone who survived or surrendered got the airlock, except for one survivor who get sent out as a witness/warning.
Vor was a fat lady cannibal.
Ruk was originally a miner with a tongue deformity that made him nearly incomprehensible (some parts made it through, as you can see). He was also so dumb that he was denied reproductive rights. Rumor had it he found an Orokin artifact that compelled everyone to follow him, which is how he suddenly went from miner to general.
Corpus were running Grineer cloning operations at some point, and a sabotage mission was to disrupt Grineer attempts at setting up their own operation.
Corpus liked to use credit chips as dermal implants as an indicator of wealth. These same credit chips are also toxic, but they keep doing it out of tradition. One sabotage mission was to take down a Corpus research lab that was working on developing a credit chip that doesn't SLOWLY KILL YOU WHEN YOU STICK IT IN YOUR SKIN.

I think it was Emy who dug up the text originally, and we were falling over it on IRC.

Yep. It was confirmed in a livestream. The Stalker is, as best we can figure out, not a Warframe per se, but some kind of Orokin royal-guard-type-guy who is pissed off at the Tenno murdering all the Orokin at the end of the war with the Sentients (probably strong AI) way back before they got frozen into stasis.

Edit: And all the 'old lore' stuff is still in the string tables. Just go looking for it in your Warframe data directory.

One can only assume that the Tenno froze themselves because they were running out of things to kill, Reaper style; not that they need to absorb lifeforce to survive or anything, they just really like killing stuff.

As I said, I refuse to hear that Hayden is not the stalker. DE stating that he is not means nothing because the last 2 pages have confirmed they know jack poo poo about their own lore. It is irrelevant anyway, as everyone knows all future lore should be built around Darvo and his tightly wound family.

Come on, if you don't think this is a rad bit of flavour then you hate fun. It's way more interesting than 'DISRUPT THEIR MINING OPERATIONS TENNO'.

Warframe is a ridiculous game with lore that makes no sense, they should embrace it.

I'm curious how that statistic would be accurately counted since 80% of my Stalker kills have come after the target is dead and the Stalker is trying to leave.

I've gotten a love letter from him though? I think you need to kill a boss or something maybe? I was helping my friend run Lephantis a bit before it showed up. I was under the impression that boss killing wasn't actually the trigger for a while, but maybe it's changed again.

I would grab every single color pack, a set of cosmetic parts for my drone, and spend everything else on warframe/weapon slots and enough potatoes so I can have every single weapon/warframe and have everything potatoed.

You could also get a new icon for whatever frame you like best.

So has DE released a timeframe for melee 2.0? I'm really waiting for that before I dig my teeth back into warframe, I've found that the super-quick-iteration has put me off sustained playing. I usually hear about some critical bug fix or new feature and hold out.

A week or two, if I recall. It got pushed back because people got so hyped over it they figured they should actually change things.
