He just lost 16k kuva, now you want him to waste his time to?
Don't bother with support. DE doesn't actually have support, it's just an advanced macro that returns the words "no".
I don't care if you have screenshots or recorded the whole dam thing, support will tell you to piss off.
Don't bother, it's gone.
Different situation like I said, but worth trying.

That's a technical question for the tech/feedback forums. I'm sure it's been brought up so there must be some technical explanation for why it is the way it is.
Ditto to your previous I guess. Seems that lost loot is annoying regardless of reasons or percieved value, maybe DE will one day do something (AWS or some other system) to alleviate it.
I still think OP, and anyone else regardless of loss, should raise a support ticket.

Host migration means that the initial host left the mission one way or another. In the scenario where this failure usually occurs either the team was leaving or the match couldn't migrate to a viable host before wound up crashing.
This is the potential hazard in any peer hosted mission...It sucks but it happens.
Maybe DE could look at AWS for hosting instead?
True, but how that crash is handled and the consequences are what are important. I'm by no means insinuating that these kinds of migrations should always be flawless, but when they go wrong, they shoudl go wrong as right as possible.
The rewards/loot acquired must be held somewhere. I doubt that's on host (open for hacking/exploits by host). It could be sure. If it is, maybe host could periodically ping back to DE server to log progress, then you don't loose everything, just say, they last 10mins.
When my connection is poor, by arsenal loads more slowly. Solo missions load screens are longer. This has to be contacting DE servers, because it's all just me.

Completely agree...I interpreted it as the poster asserting they it happens and the OP should be glad it wasn't more.
That's fair and I agree, it would have been worse if it was more. I guess we both also agree it shouldn't be happening to anyone.
Hopefully OP and everyone else raises a support ticket. At the least, it's a more formal method to log the issue, at best DE will spend so much on paying support staff to handle them it'll move up their todo list.

Not really...
Imagine the OP finding a rare stance mod or Sortie awarded riven only to lose it due to a host migration.
That makes 16k kuva sound kinda trivial comparatively, doesn't it?
One man's trash is another man's treasure. All relative. Maybe an ancient player considers 3hr survival rewards nothing.
Edit: "pffft" seems belittling. Maybe it wasn't intended to be, but it's easilly interpreted that way.

Yeah, host migration sucks. Support might be able to help if you have mission location, approx time and other players names. Pretty sure you can raise a ticket for lost rewards, although with this bug, not sure what their logs will say.
I managed to get a Khora BP I wasn't rewarded back when I was farming it. Rest of the squad were giving it "Yussss!!" and I was all "wut?!". Provided something like the above and they gave me my drop. Different situation, but maybe.

The Hema is a grind. It should remain a grind and worthless because it is basically a joke.

I'm sorry about my wrong language...
Not at all! Only meant that it will be easier for support to help you if there is an option for your native language. As stated above, the translation was not great. Best of luck!
-
Sounds to me like you've been reported for a bad trade and your account is locked?
If so, you can raise a support ticket if you believe this is wrong: https://digitalextremes.zendesk.com/hc/en-us
Provide as much information as possible (time, items traded, other person etc).
No offence intended, but look for your native language too :).

14mins ago, but for me, the left one.
no wait, right...
I don't know. I just saw higher crit chance, but then it's marginal and the penalty of puncture is negligable anyway.

"Dry dock discussion"? Ah cool! I contribute that it is too god d... big! Too big! Please no again. Ty.
Now...back to topic I guess.

and I guess the new player would learn that open world free roam in public is, well, a waste of time.
My first reaction to this post was "Why in the world woudl you free roam in pub? Why would you free roam?". Normally, I'd pick a bounty or a thing to do, unless I have a riven challenge or have found a thumper farm group. The open worlds are just a massive tileset.

Yeah! That would be a way cooler way to turn enimies to Ash!

I haven't looked around to see the hatred, but I can only imagine some of it is a bit strong given this is the internet.
I believe the issue is likely due to the original Ivara looking like a sneaksy hooded hunter/assassin (a popular archetype in any game) and the prime just doesn't evoke that (at least not for me).
Agree the design isn't terrible. Perhaps just not what people were expecting/wanting.

It's already getting difficult to find groups now that all the hardcore players have Grendel.
This is why I feel sorry for anyone who picks up this game in a years time or so and wants Grendel. I did the star chart and farmed all the normal frames solo. It is going to be a nightmare for anyone in future trying to get a group for this, which is not required, but highly recommended.
In general, I did see some appeal in the meaningulness of squad composition. Healing and CC became more important again. You needed defence frames for protecting defence thingy and excavators, some kind of looter frame for life support in survival because you can't really kill anything. However, it also felt quite tedious because of how ineffective so many weapons became.

So, I know this is my fault. I don't learn.
This has happened to me before, but I didn't post. I attempted the trial, failed it and was sure it restarted. So I exit, run around looking for the open entrance, enter the wrong way (presumably the exit of the run I just failed?). I did destroy some of the traps too, not sure if that has any bearing on the situation.
I get to where you can see below and the doors don't seem to reopen. The minimap has arrows showing where I re-entered the test.
Appreciate this is not going to be a high priority given this is how this tile is setup and I don't think many people end up in this situation. Just quite annoying, apparently, being forced to abort.
If I'm just being too impatient in waiting for the doors to open again, ignore me.

Rarely. A while back, I went and searched youtube for videos of what happens when a capture target actually escapes.

To bring the issue back to the main topic originally posted, the times that the content is available does not change the challenge of the content itself. It merely opens the content up for those who have differing play times and play schedules. There would be some shift in the systems dependent on it, such as arcane gathering and the like, but these things are already subject to demand shifts and the like. ,,,. It's a trade off, sure, but it's not all negative.
Couldn't agree more. The right drop rate tweak would alleviate the trading issue.
I've joined two or three tridolon runs. Killed many a terralyst. I just hate how these runs are tied to real time.

This means playing the game or being distracted for the initial 5-10 minutes drastically reduces one's ability to get into a group that night cycle as well.
The issue here is it being tied to real time. I'm also not a fan of this.
A mission with a "current night cycle duration" countdown would be nice. Not sure if it would be better as a "once per real 24-hrs" alongside the current system, or, replaces it and it coolsdown "current day cycle duration" after extraction (has a lot of downsides like being "stuck" with your squad, no banking drops between bounty pickups so connection/host migration issues would be a problem, people bailing out mid way etc. Would also need to let you respawn terry after terry or harry).
Wouldn't do anything to change those wanting to maximise their runs though. As long as it's limited, this will happen. If it's not limited, you get rare arcanes not being so rare.

We've discovered an issue where Valkyr's Exalted Talons were not being given if bought on an account which doesn't already have them.
🤣 I love software development.

nvm. had no idea exaulted weapons weren't shown until abilities were unlocked. the more you know...

Hmm, well the game is basically about grinding for stuff. Looter/shooter right?
As above, I'd probably want the new frames first (personally hyldrin aint my fave. wisp is fun. Baruuk a decent tank too and his ult is fun, but I dig the monk energy wave thing). Maybe the weapons (most are "okay", fulmin and exergis rank well in my "pretty fun" list). You probably haven't tried the disrpution game mode either.
There's exploiter orb now too, but you'll need to wait for the fissures event to get the thing to do that fight.
Ropalolyst boss fight on Jupiter (same place you gri...uhhh...far....ummm "obtain" wisp frame parts).
Couple new quests too :).
Dunno. Whatever tickles your fancy I suppose.
And welcome back ^_^

AFAIK, you can only recover 3 weeks back. Plus there's the dailies you don't recover. I think...
how to make Empyrean a good experience for everyone
in General Discussion
Posted · Edited by GibsonPrime
I see where you're coming from, but...
Regarding point 1 - Obtaining archwing isn't that big of a wall. I only have vague memories of my time starting out, but this is a nice threshold at the very least to have a good try of the non-empyrean content.
Regarding point 2 - I'm wavering. I can see how it would work, but I can also see many people just not volunterring for the support experience. I love helping new players, but at least for the start, I don't see many volunteering to do so. Either until they've gotten to grips with it or until they've obtained what they need. I can also see how it would help the more experience players, it would save some (few to be fari) of them having to type rage comments in chat.
