It would not surprise me if DE doesn't actually have an explanation for Stalker that fits into the current lore. Either way I wouldn't expect to get to the see the explanation. Maybe some more Stalker appearances in future cinematic quests like the Shadow Stalker in the Second Dream.

I still like the theory that The Sacrifice is centered around the stalker and umbra.

Ugggh why do I have tons of golden stances for dumb stuff like tonfas and knuckles and none for actually cool weapons like hammers and staves? I'm honestly making a whip just so I can use one of my stance drops!

Your best bet is to look up the stances for a weapon you want stances for on the wiki, it will also show if the stance is any good(try and find ones with multihits, damage multipliers, or finishers)

Denzine posted:For good or ill, there doesn't seem to be a coherent plan for Warframe's lore and the ideas behind it have changed several times, so there's a bunch of incongruities already. The only thing that's certain is that the next piece of the story will mostly align with what came before it. Probably. maybe. This is almost a boon for them. They constantly forge new and interesting lore on their fairly blank slate. Obviously you can get to a point where this becomes intolerable bullshit but Kojima got three highly regarded awesome games out of this practice. I love Warframe lore and wish there was a big beautiful dump of it but at the same time relish some of the "just put a lovely sheet over it and don't ask questions" mystery to it.

One of the best aspects of wf lore is that it all happened so long ago that no one who'd be willing to talk to you about it knows anything but vague stories. We don't need to know everything, and the mystery is probably better than anything DE could come up with.

So far I really enjoy hammers due to how much they stagger enemies and the ghetto CC of ground-smashing knocking everyone on a big area off their feet. Staves are also great; I just made a Tipedo and even barely leveled it tears through crowds. I I don't even know if stances are all that great, but getting 5 extra mod slots is definitely juicy.

Anyone remember the old "what the gently caress actually ARE warframes?" thing? There was just enough lore and just enough doubt that you could basically come up with anything or settle on one of the awesome theories already out there. It was always space-  gently caress you all for arguing against thatDE decided we needed more exposition, annnd what do we get? loving space kids. Of all the directions they could've gone in, we got the most obnoxiously animu horseshit possible. I would be perfectly happy with :de: just releasing new poo poo and not bothering with the story aside from little codex blurbs that just add confusion to the unreliable-memory idea.

Pooncha posted:Vor’s Prize indicates Warframes have a spine and a nervous system at least. So they might be humans but the technocyte that’s part of Warframe creation warped them into the Warframes, just as the various Infested mooks have some pretty uncanny valley appearances. Since DE and Steve love Evangelion, one of the fan theories is that the Orokin used the corpses of the Void exposed parents as base for the warframes.

The wiki explains it better, but to simplify, stances change how your melee attacks work and also introduces combos to your melee attacks. Depending on the keystrokes you press, you can make attacks that do extra damage, force guaranteed status procs, or execute lunges and such. The results can range from "neat" to "utterly devastating", and the extra mod capacity is icing on the murder cake. Having a stance mod for your weapon never hurts, and some stances are better than others. Seems I'm short on spares but I can offer you a Clashing Forest stance for your Tipedo if you're interested. Let me know your ign and I'll try to hook you one when I see you around.

Whether we get Venus or it first is up for debate. I would really think they'd drop some kind of big content in a month or two and then some more after tennocon to ride us over until a winter release of stuff.

Terbulus posted:Do eidolons have enough armor to require cp They do not, it's mostly just straight untouchable damage resistance. It actually ends up being optimal to leave them with some amount of their armor (not sure which of 0-3 Corpro is best) so there's a larger additional multiplier for Radiation damage against them.

Levantine posted:I learned that Excalibur is the secret to the really annoying junction bosses too. I could NOT kill Ember last night with any of my frames. I was getting really frustrated so I gave Excal a shot again. Bullet Jump, Radial Blind and Exalted Blade from behind completely trivialized it. I used Frost and just froze them in place with 1 and emptied my best primary into their face. Literally never had a fight in the whole star map.

Bobby Deluxe posted:I have no idea how good / effective shimmering blight is for polearms, but I equipped it, and am now in love with Guandao. We have a child together (the small blade at the other end of the haft). His name is Piotr. Shimmering blight is real simple, it has multihits, and it can easily headshot/hit flying enemies, it's generally considered the best polearm stance.

Enjoy firing disco balls everywhere! It really doesn't get old. e; oh yeah, came here to ask a question: can anyone confirm whether Nekros' desecrate ability plays nicely with the 'augur' mod effects (x% of energy used -> shields)? Because if I can run around desecrating with 80% of the energy used being pumped into my shields, that seems pretty rad. Pipski fucked around with this message at 19:34 on Mar 3, 2018 |

Gah. Once today I had host migration turn into eternal loading screen, so quit to do dolon hunt, losing about 10 neural sensors (with booster). Do a triple hunt, quite stressful, was kind of useless as volt against the taller ones, one guy runs out of revives, game crashes on exit, I don't get any rewards even though it tries to rejoin me to squad after. Pretty grumpy now. :| I know it's not thaaat long a mission to do the hunting, and it's not thaaat hard. But still, leaves a bad taste.

Seem to have been some odd network things going on today. I had a Defence mission on Ceres which turned weird after the first 5 waves when there was a host migration: all the enemies just stayed in their spawn areas after that, and waited there to be shot. Unfortunately, it only lasted about another four waves.

I was failing it so much I actually did the training for it and that was no problem but put me in the actual test and it was a disaster. One time I just randomly slid off one of the starting platforms.
