Console Update

• Contains everything up to 18.3

• Will hopefully be sent for certification to-day

• Will include Destreza, but not the Strega Trinity skin

 

New Prime Access

• The reason the new one is taking longer than usual is because Trinity stretched over the holidays while the devs weren't working

• New Prime Access should be available in February

 

New Event: Shadow Debt

• Coming as soon as this Monday

• This event was supposed to launch last year, but it has grown a lot since then 

• The lore behind the Quest is related to some elements from Second Dream

• There is a community-based goal

• There is a new persistent VIP system that this Event is introducing (perhaps similar to Shadow of Mordor's Nemesis system?)

• The new enemies are not related to Umbra

 

Umbra Excalibur

• There is a new system being worked on for Umbra's introduction which is the reason for his delay

• Umbra is hopefully going to be something special, and they don't want to just release him frivolously

• Unfortunately, the devs are still in 'recovery mode' after The Second Dream update, so there hasn't been as much time devoted to this new system as there would be ideally 

 

Stance Acquisition

• The frustration produced by Vulpine Mask, Vengeful Revenant, and other rare Stances is recognized, and a new system for Stance acquisition is being investigated 

• One idea is: if you take only a single melee weapon into a mission, then every enemy that you kill might have an increased chance to drop a Stance for that weapon

• Another idea is: Syndicates might offer a neutral stance that can be equipped onto a melee does nothing other than boost the drop rate of Stances for that melee

• The main idea is that Stance acquisition should be tied to usage of the melee weapon

 

Focus Boosters

• There are drops that might spawn in the mission based on your performance that will be give a temporary boost to Focus gains

• The probability of the Focus Booster dropping will increase as the mission increases

• Focus gain will be gained through shared XP

Atlas + Equinox Augments

Archwing Updates

• There will probably be fixes/updates for Archwing before more Archwing content

• The Support/Healer Archwing is being worked on by the Design Council, but still nothing final

• There will probably be some new Archwing weapons released along with the Healer Archwing

 

New Corpus Gear

• New Corpus Armour set coming

• New Corpus 'fist guns' - presumably new animations for these

• Hopefully will release in the next few weeks

Other Stuff

• Every Warframe will likely get a new Deluxe Skin eventually - there's a lot of work going into these

• Eventually all Warframes will have Prime versions, there are no limitations on who is eligible

• Syndicate Melees are not being actively worked on, but are definitely coming 

• Steve's work on lighting and textures continues - all improvements will be cross-platform and be optimized for all players

• The Starchart revamp should hopefully address a lot of the new player experience issues in the game 

• Volt and Mag are in Scott's sights for a revamp - he wants to elevate them to Excalibur's level

• Scott suggested opening up Operator customization to Steam Workshop

• There's a Zephyr Deluxe Skin in the works - there's a lot of concern with clipping though so it might change

• There's a new Landing Craft in development as well

If that Zephyr skin stays similar to the way it is currently, then Zephyr will be the only frame I play.

 

 

It's really nice but I was hoping for a deluxe which was very similar to Zephyr's original design, despite originally being male.

have you seen the strange thing on the navigation screen of rebecca too ?

 

 

33m52 sec looks sentient or something

 

It's Shadow Debt - but you're right, the fact that it has its own icon makes me think it will be more of an ongoing system rather than a one time event
