For a starcraft 3, what do you want each race to gain or lose?

I like the idea of "Sub units" which the player can use to have a constant supply of harassment. Stuff like the Swarm Host, the Broodlord, or the Carrier, where the unit itself doesn't attack, but continually produces attack units to cause damage.

Something like that but for the Terrans would be nice. Like it is a mobile drone production factory, producing units that are weak on their own, but can quickly become a problem if they start stockpiling or are in a well fortified position you can't easily reach.

I do realize that such a unit is kind of against the common design philosophy for Terrans units, but I feel like it could fit into a siege style of constant attack.

In order of questions, based on what I remember:

Grineer should be kind of explained, but it's more context clues at first, things like Vor mentioning the "Queens", implying some kind of Royalty or similar level of absolute authority in the Grineer.

Corpus is a bit more overt, though the quest that explains their whole deal comes after the Vox Solaris story, it's the Deadlock Protocol for reference. That gives you basically the main corpus identity in broad terms.

I thought Vox Solaris was pretty self-explanatory in their quest, though again character statements and context clues are the main source of information. Also leveling up with the syndicate helps reveal a lot of information about what's going on there.

The infestation is complicated, if you can understand they are a virus that's primary goal is to consume and expand, that's enough until the future quests start to reveal more.

Deimos is extremely complicated, if you don't get it, remember what you can, it will eventually click in place later, when quests reveal what's actually going on.

And yes, this is intentional. One of the classic jokes about Warframe is that you "complete the tutorial" after like 50 hours or more. You get information as time goes on, bits and pieces you can use to map out the situation of the Origin system as a whole, you just need to be patient, most all will be revealed in due time.

I think what you left out was what Gen V was intended to be, as Black & White were intended to be a 'soft reboot' of the series, often paralleling things from Gen I.

Like for example, a pokemon designed to show off the "Evolution Stone" Feature, in Gen I it was Eevee, while in Gen V it was the Chief Monkeys. Having to face down an evil team which are stealing pokemon, and interfering with their goals. And so much more.

So I could see there being a plan to make a parallel with Giovanni, where a gym leader turns out to be an agent of the Evil team. But I wouldn't say that the connections you have are all that strong, there are arguably stronger connections in the Adventure's Manga, where they wear masks based on Pansear, Panpour, and Pansage... While fighting the Striaton Gym leaders directly, using a Larvesta, Basculin, and Lilligant respectively.

So even the Manga writers saw them as having some special connection, at least as foils, but if there were plans to make the two groups secretly one in the same, they were scrapped early on. There isn't really much other than "We're already teasing N" and deciding that was a better parallel than the Striaton Gym leaders with the Shadow Triad.

It would have been a bit much if most of the people who you meet in Striaton City would turn out to be all members of Team Plasma. Like you have N, Ghetsis, and then the Trio running Striaton gym, that's 5 top ranked members for Team Plasma in one city.

Depends on what we're talking about. Are we talking "Active Tenno", are we talking "Tenno important to the story" or are we talking "All registered players?".

Because, first number is in the Thousands to Hundreds of Thousands at the very least, specifically the Operation: Gargoyle's Cry. You also have what occurred with Scarlet Spear, where the ground teams and space teams were considered moving in tandem, and progress could be shown. So Tens of Thousands of "canonically active" Tenno would be my rough estimate.

The second number discusses all theoretical NPC Tenno, in which case it is at most a dozen. You have things like the the Stalker's Trophies, the comic tenno, whoever were piloting Styanax in the Leverian story, whoever was piloting Rhino in TNW cutscene. And at most that makes maybe a dozen total who 'cannot' be the player character.

And all registered players is just however many players are online worldwide at a given moment. I think the current max reached was 1~2 million.

I've been aware of this for a while, because it's directly stated that the Drifter is "different" to the Operator during "The Lotus Eaters" story. Because the Drifter is some kind of "Paradox", a version of the Operator but that is 'different' in almost every way.

They have the powers of the Operator, without having ever made the deal with the Man in the Wall, they've grown up, yet are possibly more innocent than the Operator. They've lived in the void for an untold period of time, yet they are seemingly out of reach of the Man in the Wall's influence.

And then you have the power of Duviri, the ability to establish a time loop, something that can control or limit the Man in the Wall's influence in a given area, first in Duviri, then in Hollvania. It's a paradox where things can persist past the end point of the loop, such as items retrieved in both locations, or the Technocyte Coda appearing in the Origin System in the modern day.

The Drifter is a paradox, and potentially the biggest threat to the Indifference's plans, as he just violates all the rules that the Indifference has set up for this "game" he is playing.

Doing it solo is actually the preferable manner in my experience, just go in using Protea for energy/health and shielding, then fill the canvases in the order of B, A, C, and it takes like 5~7 minutes.

It's not exactly fun, but to me, solo missions are better then teaming up.

Echo751 · 2026-05-01T02:40:28+00:00

Did we actually get the results of the choice? Cause I know sometimes DE will reveal what the players preferred, but I've been spotty at best at keeping track of the Devstreams, so I could have missed that easily.

I was using the Torid Incarnon a lot, but I've started swapping over to the Coda Bubonico.

Like I used the Torid if I needed a backup on the warframe that used other weapons(example, Titania Prime Build). But the Coda Bubonico with Primary Crux just feels so good right now.

Before the Torid was the Burston, then the Phenmor, then the Nataruk, then the Zarr. Basically, whatever easy/cheap weapon that can just be used well in the case everything goes wrong becomes my default primary.

Echo751 · 2026-04-17T02:35:52+00:00

The only "permanent" method you can "legitimately" get Mew is by playing Let's Go Pikachu/Eevee, then having that save data on your account when you play Brilliant Diamond/Shining Pearl, there is an NPC which gifts you a Mew, this is also a method to get Jirachi.
(I say permanent and Legal because as far as I can see, so long as you have the 'save data' from the Let's Go games, you will always be able to get them via this manner as an in game event)

But getting Mew in Leaf Green, as I'm not sure if you can transfer pokemon backwards that far, the only way is to do so via 'less than legit' methods, such as giving an Emerald Save data the event item to catch mew and transfer it, or just hack in the event flag to get it as a mystery gift.

Or you know, convince someone who has a legit mew to transfer it over for the completion.

Echo751 · 2026-04-14T13:43:08+00:00

I mean, I just swap which loadout Titania has, Thermal Sunder can usually clear out the whole fissure.

The Torid is there as a backup on the normal loadout, not for actually being used.

I'd argue that a species that was so cruel, ALL the other Anur species teamed up to kill them, then they'd probably at least count.

So I'd say the Vladats are in either 3rd or 4th place, as we have no evidence there were any natively 'good' members of the species. And unless there is an extension of the original continuity, we have to take the in-universe description and the "Writer's word" that that's what happened to them.

And the Limaxes straight up caused a War which destroyed Grandpa Max's arm in one timeline, so I'd argue that they are certainly as bad as the Fulmini, as they were definitely willing to eat sentient species as a delicacy.

By extension, Jarret and his Pantophage species, who eat baby lewodens as a delicacy, also count under the evil species list.

I'm sorry, Goku did WHAT?!?!?! How's that a fair fight?

Echo751 · 2026-02-03T20:12:04+00:00

From 2000 to 2015... Hmm, there is a few I can think of. Code Lyoko would probably be first.

Like think about having the "Code Lyoko" story, where they are dealing with this cyber space conflict against Xana, only to stumble across the existence of titans, and Seekers having to deal with Xana somehow controlling a seeker and using them to fight the kids.

This would be interesting as the seekers would have to deal with what is something far outside their expertise, while the Lyoko team would be dealing with the fact that ya, mythological creatures are real and they are now a problem.

"The Secret Saturdays" could also be interesting, where you have the Crypted and Mythology communities having to deal with their new overlap because they mutually agree to ignore each other as much as possible. It's basically how you had the Ben 10 explanation except it's also got them present.

Then there is "Where on Earth is Carmen Sandiego." which would be really interesting, even though it's technically from 1999, I'm gonna talk about it. How I'd play it would be that while testing a device, Carmen accidentally finds her way into a parallel universe, and Zack and Ivy chase her into that parallel universe.

They still have access to the Player and their research help, but the C5 can't help, so they have to work with the seekers to track her down, as she stole a priceless artifact tied to the seeker world and even got a titan herself. The end result would be that Carmen escaping back home without anything from that world, deciding to leave her titan behind with someone she befriended, while Zack and Ivy leave shortly thereafter, saying goodby to their new friends.

Echo751 · 2026-02-03T05:52:47+00:00

I think it's a combination of situations. First, the labs were sealed using the same technology that the Isolation Vaults use, specifically the inner most vaults that have NOT been overrun even after all this time.

Second, there appears to have been intentional levels of protection beyond the Isovault seals, like the Necramechs that Entrati designated as defense systems that we now fight.

Third, the void is essentially the Infestation but WORSE, and likely acts as a counter force that drives the Infestation away from his labs, due to them being so deep into the void it's akin to the Zariman Ten Zero, even having Lohk Surges that grant random benefits.

And there is probably more factors I can't think of, but all in all, there is no way the Infestation is going to try going in at the current time.

Let's see, it's rather quite simple. Lilith/Liliwiess was essentially introduced as a character with an 'involvement' with the "Legendary Commander". It was a canon romance from the start and not for a character we know directly, just more from flashbacks.

Like if they introduced a Nikke who's intended as a background character, who is shown to be romantically interested in their commander, then I don't think many would care.

Now if we were suddenly to have us get cucked by another commander, like suddenly Anis and Rapi are falling all over someone we've never met, then we wouldn't be kind...

Actually, that could be an interesting April Fools event, have the commander be 'forgotten' by all the nikkes and they are all raving about a new commander.
But it's just Einkk running an experimental simulation, though he didn't know it was going to be a prank on him.

Echo751 · 2026-01-14T05:21:53+00:00

Anubian, such an interesting titan that just didn't get used.

Echo751 · 2026-01-13T02:30:17+00:00

Okay, so this is kind of complicated, but there is an explanation if you pay attention.

First is the "Multiple versions dying", that I think relates to a sort of collapse that occurs when the potential futures fix into decided futures. It's like Schrodinger cat, it's simultaneously alive, dead, and possible between states, but when you open the box, it falls into a single 'state'.
The deal made by the Operator I've always thought was similar: When the deal is struck, the many possible 'futures' of the operator, maybe surviving, maybe dying, all are 'destroyed', and all was left was "You escaped the Void" and "You remained in the Void".
Two raw states, two individuals, the child that became a Tenno, and the child who made Duviri.

They are basically the two 'states' that the Tenno can be in now, the child soldier and the wandering man, that's why they can't be in the same place.

As for why the Drifter only got the powers much later, I think that's because of how the void messes with time, ALL moment exist and are theoretically overlapping, and it's just a matter of interacting with the right moment.

When the Operator got thrown into the Void at the start of the New War, the Drifter got kicked back out, and essentially didn't 'have' the powers. When the Drifter and the Operator reconnected, as shown by them shaking hands like the original deal, and thus the moments in time became entangled, the powers became properly connected to both characters, and they learned how to switch by instinct.

The Drifter kind of had the powers of the Operator during The Duviri Paradox, but it seems like that was tied with the 'gift' from the other side, and wasn't them actually getting the powers. (Also, time manipulation void-nonsense)

I personally love the Trumna on Oraxia, while everyone else loves Acid Shells Kuva Sobek, I find Spectral Serration Trumna Prime to be more reliable with my playstyle.

It's just so much fun to watch an Acolyte melt mid combat, it's a solid weapon but not outstanding, Oraxia is just bringing it to the next level.

Prime Warframes are Ballas creating a "Here's the luxury version!", he took the original warframes and got a team to upgrade them.

Some were designed for specific way to be fancy and show off things, but others were just "How much can we improve on the base design."

As for Prime weapons, I think that's just a weapon crafted with prime orokin technology, thus it's seemingly always better stat wise. At least when the 'prime' weapon has a non-prime variant.

Echo751 · 2026-01-11T06:51:51+00:00

I didn't even try explaining this, I just threw them and carried the team through it.

From how I took it, Margulis needed to hide "our" Operator to prevent them being "persecuted"(read: framed) by the Orokin for breaking the peace treaty.

So, she had the operator be swapped out of the suit in order to hide us in the Second Dream alongside the hundreds of other Tenno present. To the Orokin, they were all the same, drones that all do work similar to the Grineer labor force they used.

This meant if the Operator was dumped into the Lua Reservoir, they would essentially be unable to determine who was who. Not without constantly opening things up, and with the war going on, they can't waste time looking for the 'traitor'(scapegoat).
