I just wanted to let y'all know, in case there's anyone who's been waiting as long as I have for it to reemerge in his shop. I think the last time he brought it was somewhere near the start of 2023. Go get it for 300 ducats if you don't have it already!
This was standard Grineer Galleon (Grineer ship), although this specific mission was on Sedna
Shoutout to my Kubrow with Animal Instinct, passed right by it before I saw it on radar
This is partially inspired by Selkie210's post about Warframe archetypes, because it made me wonder something: As a budding Xaku main, it's easy to notice that they have a lot of theft/"borrowing" involved in their gameplay and backstory. Xaku has canonically taken the armor pieces of other destroyed frames (kinda like graverobbing) and reappropriated their old powers. In gameplay Xaku blatantly steals weapons from enemies with Grasp of Lohk, and some of their other abilities have a trickster-esque feel to them (particularly Accuse and Gaze).
My wondering is, why didn't DE play into this more? I know Kullervo kinda fills the rogue archetype nowadays with the whole betrayal/cloak-and-dagger theming, but Xaku was released long before him. My initial thoughts were that DE thought a Void frame with broken-and-whole dynamics was complex enough already, or that maybe my RPG background is making me overestimate the amount of "rogue" vibe they give off. I also wasn't playing when Xaku was released, so maybe my perspective isn't the best one.
Once I saw someone propose the idea of a Warframe that actively wanted to become a warframe and was glad to be transformed into one. Sort of like a counterpart to Umbra. I think that would be a breath of fresh air amidst the many frames with tragic backstories, although such a frame would have to have some other themes to them too, because I'm not sure how you'd turn transhumanism into a set of four abilities
Usually I would be completely disregarding the luxxum ornaments, but the D&D nerd in me cannot resist the appeal of having a little d12 in my orbiter. It's the only thing staving off my disappointment from the fact that no Primed Animal Instinct
Earlier today I was in a public squad doing the Railjack survival node on Pluto, and we decided to go to 30 minutes for the hell of it. I opened up Nightwave when I was back in my orbiter only to discover the 30 min. survival objective was still marked as incomplete. Does Railjack not count because it's not solely a survival mission or something?
It's hard to hear the ringing from outside the grove too, so make sure to actually take a peek inside if you're looking for caches. Also, if you hear the cache ringing from underneath a giant hatch in the ground, you need to find and hack the control panel that says "open flood gate"
-sincerely, a Tenno who spent an embarrassingly long amount of time cache hunting for Nightwave this week
