![]() ![]() Excalibur Prime is now mostly a sort of "status symbol" where backers can very easily show off that they were, in fact, backers, but Prime also has something Umbra doesn't - death orb energy! And conversely, Umbra also has something Prime doesn't - Transference sentience. Now comes the question "doesn't that stop making Excalibur Prime special?" Which is a pretty fair question! Depending how you look at it, yes and no. Now, as I stated before, Excalibur Umbra exists, which is explicitly an upgraded Excalibur. (Umbra for Exalibur, Prime for everyone else)Ĭurrently, the only backer-locked things are Lato Prime, Skana Prime, and Excalibur Prime himself. Every single frame is now obtainable in their base form and (if one exists) their upgraded form. As it stands currently, bugs and awful drop rates aside, almost every single weapon, warframe, and piece of functional content can either be earned in-game via time and hard work or via direct platinum purchase. They've made it very clear that content-locking behind platinum (success aside, noting everyone's disdain for certain things like Necramech droprates, insanely rare weapon or frame part drops, bugged mission types, etc) is not an MO they wanna follow. This is a business model they have both stated and made clear they DO NOT agree with anymore, but are ultimately trying to honor their promises without compromising the fact that Warframe is, at the end of the day, a free to play game with the end-goal being that anything that isn't cosmetic can be earned with time, hard work, or a bit of platinum. There was a lot of speculation for a while there that we were gonna get more umbras, people were speculating Valkyr, etc, (all the "first frames" that become the first frame to the first frame that was previously the first frame, not to be mistaken with the first frame that-) but in reality I actually severely doubt at this point we'll get more Umbra frames.Įxcalibur Umbra basically exists to give everyone access to a better Excalibur without breaking the promise made at the game's launch that Founders would get exclusive access to Excalibur Prime and his accompanying Prime weapons. I really want this to reach DE themselves and possibly add this to the game. If anybody wants me to talk about the quest themselves, blow this post up. It would make sense because these frames would be much more powerful than their normal and prime counterparts, and it would give another reason to try to get to the steel path. Now on to how you would get these frames, I think that we should use the steel path. I think we stay with the theme of Latin origin words and call Volt “Volt Tempestas” which means storm and Mag “Mag Vacuus” which means void (this is probably incorrect because I used google translate but meh). Next, we don’t call them “Volt Umbra” or “Mag Umbra” because those names sound kinda on the nose. We already have Excalibur, so it only makes sense to keep it as the beginners. Now with saying that, here’s how I think we keep it goin first we limit it to only being the beginner frames. Firstly, I know that DE said they had no interest in keeping this theme going but I believe that this is too unique of an idea to let go. ![]() I think I have an idea on how to keep the “umbra” theme going. ![]()
