I finally had time this evening to try the Exploiter Orb fight. And... it sucks. Yet another battle where none of our powers work, fighting an enemy that is basically immune to all damage most of the time. Oh, and she still has her rapid fire, near insta-kill homing laser, so that was fun too. Having Zuud shout "shoot her footing" every few seconds at the start of the fight was fun too, especially since nothing seems to take any obvious damage.
And if anyone feels like trotting out "Oh, it's so easy for me," don't. Because I'm not you. I tried it with the most durable Warframe build I have, and a Lanka build that would supposedly be adequate for fighting Teralysts. (No Riven, because I'm not throwing thousands of platinum at a weapon I don't particularly like.) I ran out of self-revives before I even managed to destroy all the vents.
Nothing about the fight was fun, interesting, or challenging. Getting blown to scrap everytime I step out from under an overhang isn't "challenge," it's just an invincible enemy god-moding and throwing "no saving throw" death at me.
I had to kill it about 70-80 times before I get everything I wanted from it. My setup was simple:
Warframe: Nezha
Primary: Strun or ANY Shotgun (Vents explode in 2-3 hits)
Secondary: Vandal Lato or ANY Hitscan secondary (Quick instant damage to the specific area in the last Phase)
Melee: Zenistar (For the little spiders)
I tried doing it solo at first, it took me about 30 minutes. Then I found a party and was able to do it consistently within 10-15 minutes per run. I believe you'll have a similar experience if you try using my setup. Hope this helps! 🙂 -
Update: After 75 Runs Shocking Step Ephemera dropped. I can finally give the finger to this boss and never touch it again 😄

After ~65 Tries on the Exploiter:
Time ~20 hours
Hildryn Chassis - 24 Blueprints
Hildryn Systems - 14 Blueprints
Hildryn Neuroptics - 22 Blueprints
Freezing Step Ephemera - 3 Blueprints
Shocking Step Ephemera - 0 Blueprints
It's a complete joke if you happen to be like me and go for the Ephemera's. I'm not saying RNG is bad, but It really doesn't go well when the boss takes ~15 minutes to be cleared(After fix). It would have been a better idea to make it a challenge like doing it solo in a given time or just put it as a reward if you've cleared it 20-30 or even 50 times. It really puts collectors on their toes knowing that they have to invest so much time for a single item when there are 5 different Ephemera's that have a similar chance of dropping from something completely different(Except the one that's purchasable).
TLDR: Low % drop on Bosses may only provoke players instead of motivating them and enjoy the game. A solution I would recommend to this is to make Ephemera's tradable since that would be at least something to look forward to. 🙂

Fortuna Big Event Idea
in Missions & Levels
Posted · Edited by Alpha-Dave
As far as we know, Fortuna is an Open world located in Venus. And Venus is considered to be one of the hottest planets in our system since is close to the sun. DE have stated that the Corpus have made a reactor that exhales cold air, which makes the whole "planet" seem like It's winter and there's snow everywhere. Well. what if that reactor breaks? What if we have to fix it in a way? And only us, the Warframes can be apart of this just because they can withstand the heat. 😱😱😱
I'm really keen on the idea and I really hope I see something relatively close to that idea. DE have stated that there are big events coming our way this year (Raids Included) so I'm really hyped to see what they've got for us. What do you guys think? I just thought of that and I thought why not see what other veteran players seem to think on the topic. ^^
