EXTRA EXPLANATIONS:
Open Beta: I fucked up and forgot this entry, but basically, Warframe is still technically in Open Beta. A popular meme involving this is that one day the game will be fully launched and everybody will have their account data reset, but that is (most likely) never going to happen.
Greedy Milk: This quote comes from the Gradivus Dilemma event, where Sargus Ruk said that he would crush the "greedy milk" from the skulls of the Corpus. This got memed, of course, with the community turning it into an actual product.
Old Draco: The old leveling node on Ceres, it was an interception mission and was effectively the precursor to today's Hydron or Akkad.
Banned Zaws: Certain words in Zaw/Kitgun names are banned. There's also a theory that Warframe youtuber Sabuuchi was banned for a Zaw name, but that hasn't been confirmed.
Rideable Orbs: Before Fortuna's release, it was teased that we would be able to pilot enemy Raknoids. This didn't make it into the final release however.
Free Forma: Upon completing the Simon Says puzzle on Lua, the reward crate that is spawned
has a 1 in 8 chance of yielding a fully built forma.
Space Mom: The community nickname for the Lotus and her voice actress, Rebecca Ford.
Rare Containers: There's a very small chance when finding a loot container that it may be a rare, reinforced version of said container. It will glow and emit a faint song (similar to the ones caches sing in sabotage missions). This container drops more desirable items such as 30 minute boosters, built Forma, and in some cases (such as on Earth), Captura scenes.
10k Forma Vauban (suggested by Omer Qadri): KZbinr Rahetalius put a whopping 10,000 forma on his Vauban Prime over the course of almost a year.
Old Holiday stuff (suggested by DarthMufin): A bunch of old holiday stuff, like pumpkin rollers, bunny ear corpus, and easter egg corpus containers, all got left out of the iceberg because I am absolutely terrible at managing space.
Orokin Dojos (suggested by cralo): Prior to their current look, the architecture of the Dojos was Orokin as opposed to the current Tenno design. Rooms from this era can still be seen in some old dojos, as while they can't be built, they weren't outright removed.
If you have any more entry suggestions comment them and I might put them down here.

[@MsQueenOfDance]

24:25, I went to tenno con 2019 and was blessed to actually get to play stalker mode. they had a booth where people with set characters and gear would play a defense mission while another player would connect into that match as the stalker and try and kill players. It was a lot of fun, but considering the vast difference in movement and reactions in Ai stalker and player stalker, I doubt it will ever truly get added into the game. People getting smacked down by a strong stalker player will complain that they can't get the rewards from killing the stalker, while some stalker players would likely just match into a game and let themselves get killed.

[@nafereuskortex9055]

The the transference error Easter egg

[@photonicpizza1466]

Also surprised the red text didn’t make it. It’s not that noteworthy anymore, originally it was a teaser for the Second Dream quest (the text was in the game for a bit before the quest was even added), and hinted at its big reveal when you decoded the Orokin script, but most new players now get to that quest relatively quickly, so they might not even see the text prior to finishing it, since it’s quite a rare easter egg. It’s still an interesting part of the game’s history, though, so it should probably be on the iceberg.

I see the female Excal and raise you, female Ash. They couldn't implement the feminine features (mainly a ponytail) due to not having the physics for it when Ash was created, so they reference the original design in Ash Prime's design by bringing the ponytail back. :)

[@dmdizzy]

Thoughts as I go: Fun fact in regards to stat sticks: in the past, prior to the melee rebalances, the Mire's toxin damage was programmed really weirdly. Rather than being a damage value on the weapon itself, it was a passive bonus to all melee damage, which thereby made the Mire the best stat stick - on top of inheriting all of its mods, your exalteds would also gain 10% bonus Toxin damage. Coptering was funny with slow melee weapons, since you would _actively lose speed_ when trying to do it. My personal theory about Grineer English is that all Grineer are _trying_ to speak English - unfortunately for most of them, their clone-rotted bodies are simply incapable of speaking properly. Some things in game actually show evidence of the Grineer's English degradation; "Nitain" is, based on its description, a linguistic corruption of methane. I imagine that Necramech stamina is running on limited time anyways; both prior attempts at stamina meters (the original and on Railjacks) eventually got culled, so this will probably eventually go away too. Mutalist Alad V wasn't dropped; he was cured in an event. Confusingly, a lot of his involvement in the game (the Second Dream, Ropalolyst, etc) are set _after_ his curing, despite the Patient Zero quest being further down the starchart; this is because in the past Eris was much earlier on in the game and you would have opportunity to do PZ before any of that.

[@emperorleachicus2199]

Void Glitch didn’t post leaks, he only datamined drop rates (data mining was the only way of getting accurate drop rates back then, since this fiasco there are now official drop tables). That’s part of why his cease and desist was so controversial, nothing he did harmed DE, and he wasn’t involved in the Umbra/Sacrifice script leaks. DE unfairly went after him because he was well-known, not because he did anything wrong.

[@Churchgrimm]

@@throg4657 1. That's true, I believe in game or some piece of lore somewhere that it says Grandmother is/was neither a soldier nor a scientist. 2. That's possibly subjective, though. Since Orokin society and culture is so stratified, the Orokin elite viewing lower classes (possibly including the Archimedians) as not true Orokin as a cultural practice means the reality might not be so cut and dry. Even Alad V is referred to as Orokin by Hunhow, and the "purest" Alad could possibly be is being of Orokin descent, barring some bizarre twist. And while hypocrisy is not outside his character, I'm not sure someone as vain and classist as Ballas would have openly been lovers with Margulis if she weren't Orokin. It certainly would be neat if Grandmother turned out to be Margulis, if still far fetches like you said. It'd have super wild ramifications for the lore.

[@throg4657]

​@@Churchgrimm Well, we atleast know Margulis didn't have the whole elongated arm and blue skin thing going on, since when natah was turned into the lotus, she was made in margulis' image. I would also mention that margulis was obliterated by the jade light for acting against the orokin, but that could easily be retconned by simply saying "oh Ballas helped her fake it" or whatever. Speaking of which, Ballas went to pretty great lenghts to try and get Margulis back, even giving himself up to natah because he thought she'd keep Margulis' personality (and of course he was turbo wrong), and it just seems weird that he didn't think to search the system for her before allying with his peoples literally biggest enemy.

About The Stalker Mode that you mentioned, I Found that interesting, I already had an idea similar to that, but instead being syndicate Missions, because they Generally they hate each other, so I think they Should make that when u do a Syndicate Mission that would impact another Syndicate, and The enemies Could be of Said Syndicate, so they would need a Tenno to protect them Like for example, 4 Tenno from Steel Meridian would make an Sabotage on an Perrin Sequence Base, so 1 Perrin Sequence player Could Join that Mission, and be like a "Boss" to The Other 4 Tenno, he would need to Hunt and Kill all Tenno so that they Could not complete The Mission, also all enemies From that Mission Should be an Ally to that Perrin Sequence Tenno, só that he would have more chance Against 4 Tenno He would be similar to The Stalker, but Have total Freedom on The map, and maybe use Traps and such, would be interesting to Hunt, or Snipe some players Also that Mode Could be only Linked to Syndicate Missions, so that "Tenno War" would only Happen on Missions of Syndicates

[@Jdragontheboyo5122]

I got something weird happen to me when playing warframe once. I was in a hijack mission on Europa playing volt, I was getting into the game so I was super weak compared to everyone else. I get killed by something that looks like me from a distance. I revived myself and got close to the thing. It was an enemy labeled as Banshee Prime, and it was pretty much just a hostile specter wielding I think maybe the Euphona prime. I decided in my 11 year old mind “Hey, I wonder what this random enemy would drop”. So I threw everything at the enemy warframe using about like 4 specters and lots of energy pads. I was super weak at the time so it took me a while for an 11 year old boy with a console to kill something that I would consider a bug with the boltor and a volt. I eventually kill it, but it drops nothing but exp/affinity. After that I completed the mission as normal. I’d say it’s my most fond memory of playing the game.

[@fluorideinthechat7606]

Fun fact about the Lotus/Natah spirit in Smash Bros, you actually can still obtain it. Spirits introduced in events are eventually circulated back into the normal Spirit Board with the same chance to appear as any other spirit. Good luck plugging away at the board though, because there’s a metric fuck ton of spirits. Also, my theory on the black squares bug is probably because of the thing you’re playing Warframe on’s processing power, because I attempted to do a couple Kuva Fortress nodes on the Switch’s portable mode and the bug was all over the place there.

In the new corpus ship tileset the magnetic hazard is present instead of fire hazards when reinserting the fuel cell, while you get a blackout inserting the fuel cell into a coolant slot. - While the theory stuck for a long while specially with the "proto" skins being added, DE ultimately stated there is no connecting link between Dark Sector and Warframe.

[@tobyward661]

I still have a starter Loki, no other frames on the account and hasn’t even passed earth yet

[@briansilva6857]

I still have my starter loki but by now I'm MR 16 with about 29 Prime warframes crafted I will never let go of that starter loki, I remember thinking the game was so cool being able to go invisible, but that was all I was able to do at the time lol

[@01trixor]

I am also an starter Loki

[@Basilo1146]

Ahhhhhh, I had Loki as my starter, it sucked. I think I still have it though

[@faber7507]

I also have an old account with a starter Loki and only that Loki, but I have actually gotten pretty far so far (70% of the star chart)

[@emery_orion]

im late to the party but i have an account with nothing but a starter loki as well lol

[@mateosanchezaquino3829]

Jeez, I feel like Excalibur is haunted sometimes. First he appears in the rewards screens AND he appears in the void observing you! Someone should make a creepy tale about some void explorers encountering a mysterious warframe who just observes them

[@macgargan]

I have great news about grandmothers name from the future

[@donovandelozier7156]

Well, we now know what Grandmothers name used to be, so it's fun that THAT bit of lore has now come full circle.

[@ramm1535]

In reference to "Black Lotus" could that character be related or *actually be* an early version of Nora Night? My on-going theory is that DE has been preparing us for the Death of Lotus/Natah, and the possibility of Nora stepping in as guide and caretaker of the Tenno. With the onset of the final part of The New War, lingering theories of what The Duviri Paradox will entail, and DE going on record saying the next Nightwave will be relatively "lighter" that would free up Nora to participate/contribute in plot outside of NW. Plus there are already theories questioning if Nora herself is actually a Tenno... maybe an Alt-Universe Tenno crossed over attempting to guide this universe's survivors of the Zariman Ten Zero Void-Jump Incident.

[@CoolKid369]

That's an interesting idea! If this actually happens this comment is getting retroactively pinned lol.

[@marshaenderheart]

That would've been so cool

[@IceChillxen]

Seems like 'black' Lotus was an inspiration for Nora Nights design. Cool how they repurposed a concept from that way back into the current game.

[@AuthorityCat]

Here's to hoping they'll do something cool post The New War by adding Nora as a new advisor. Tired of seeing that blue hologram fucker!

[@alittlewooper9276]

excalibur huating the void is quite similar to sevagoth and the astilla update, a ghost warframe haunting the void. this time with a ghost railjack of course.

[@TennoWolf]

"These are no longer obtainable, but those who got them before their removal got to keep them, so you can still see these in action even today" The fact someone traded one to me as payment is something i will never stop being thankful for, especially since i joined in early december of 2017.

One more thing to consider: Very rarely...and i mean VERY VERY rarely, when you return from a mission sometimes red text appears, as if typed into a console on a PC. I had this happen to me a couple of times, but so far no one was able to even remotely tell me why this happens

I thought there was an actual mysterious iceberg in Warframe that would be talked about...

[@CaveDroll]

Love the video, it hit like a nostalgia freight train. When you got to the stamina I was hoping you talk about the momentum looping, and infinite wall run bugs we used to get to loot rooms and out of the map ceilings all the time. I used to have tons of old pictures from outside the map tiles from back around 2013.

[@SocraTetris]

This was a very fun video! Now I kinda get why some didnt like me using the word iceberg for my lore video, cuz this is the real deal. Thanks for this!

[@butterscotchpanda]

You made a nine hour doctoral thesis about Warframe Lore, you get to use the word Iceberg all you damn well please.

[@srakin9528]

The original starter Warframes were actually Excalibur, Loki, and Volt. Volt was later swapped out for Mag, and then Loki was later swapped out to bring Volt back.

[@justnuttedinasock2054]

1:01:24 (Take this with a grain of salt this is just what I’ve gathered) only Tenno and the sentients (and probably albretch entrati) have oro, it’s made when something makes contact with the void and their “void twin” is created. which is a copy of them but in the void that cannot die. Only people who have an oro can truly kill a person with an oro (the little glowing ball that sentients drop when you kill them is their oro and that’s why it refills ur shields and energy when picked up)

[@shivablack2832]

To add to that theory(if it is one) When you die as operator in story mode you briefly see your character floating in the void then you respawn. its probably their void twin. Duviri might eventually be about it.

[@gnostechnician]

Good video! A wide breadth of interesting trivia, some of which is new to me. Suggestions: -the 5% droprate scandal, wherein it was stated that no void key (precursor to void relics) reward was lower than 5%, until this was proven false by dataminers. This led to VoiD_Glitch's public data git, keeping DE honest until the later legal threat and the fallout from it causing DE to maintain their public droptables. -The datamined beta quest Sacrifice quest script. -The promise that, after animated prime trailers began with Saryn, they would also be produced for unvaults. I'm still waiting on that Frost Prime trailer, Steve. -The devstream where they messed up twitch drops and gave viewers 20+ exilus adapters each. I'll never need to buy another one! Leaving off on a lighthearted one, -The infamous reddit post calculating which female warframe has the most normal human proportions (Valkyr, iirc).

Fun little fact about the one at 32:07, xakus powers can open the 2nd lab door since he deals void damage. They can even open it before the 1st door is open.

[@iAmTechnique]

I've been playing Warframe on and off over the years since the closed beta and I remember the revive booster via credits being a thing. I picked Loki as my first Warframe as well and it was a total nightmare... especially having limited revives per day. There was also the Telos Boltace days, where you could use Volt's speed ability and just shred EVERYTHING with insane range, including breakable objects, so it made farming certain things really easy. Also Mirage with Synoid Simulor to AFK farm in survival, lol. I really enjoyed watching this video :) My Warframe IGN is LiquiD

De with the epic prank

[@AyyDraws]

Old Draco: Draco on Ceres was an interception node, and Is actually how some people used to level weapons and sometimes warframes rather fast. The team consisted of a radial javalin spamming Excalibur, an energy vampire Trinity and 1 or 2 frames to assist the Excal with a buff: Frost, Oberon, Ember and Volt have augments that buff ally damage with an element. Draco has since been changed to a survival node. I know all of this off of the top of my head because I used to level using this method, and usually played either Excalibur, or buff Frost

[@AyyDraws]

This is in response to the "Honorable Mentions" at the end of the video. I figured I should explain it in the comments, especially considering my history with the topic. It also unlocked long dormant memories I had since forgotten about, like that slide flip, and Stalker being threatening.
