Zavius_Firerave Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 I used to be able to find 1 or 2 other players playing the Cetus bounties but I've only ever found 2 other players when playing the Fortuna bounties. What's happening? Do people not farm anything from Fortuna bounties? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OvisCaedo Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 There's not really anything on bounties TO farm for unless you've got a hankering for the relic on rotation. The rare mods actually have a fairly high drop chance, meaning you'll get them quickly, never need another one, and also they wouldn't sell for anything. It's probably okay rep gain, but it seems like popular opinion is that mining is extremely fast daily rep, for whatever reason, or just burning excess resources on bonds from Ticker for rep. The highest tier bounty has kuva, which is nice, but there's much more reliable options for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toran Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 (edited) After 200+ Eidolon Triple Captures I was done with Cetus, there's litte point to go back for me atm. Fortuna took me two weeks for max standings and all affinity items. With resource boosters and the advanced spear, fishing turned out to be the fastest way to farm standing for me. I'm still missing the conservation emblem but for that you don't have to do bounties. Another reason might be the upcoming Mesa Prime release. A lot of people are doing Syndicate missions and void runs to stack up standing for Syndicate relic key packs and maxing out their void traces for radiant runs on release.

BiancaRoughfin Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 I usually do Bounties solo to avoid Leechers and complete them faster. It infuriates me when i see a player idling on the map wile still benefiting from the bounty rewards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.Light Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 I do lots of bounties when it comes to the rep, but imo best way to do them is to solo them, no matter Cetus or Fortuna. Quite easy even on highest tier and no leechers, that's the point. So maybe I'm just not the one who thinks so x) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rand0mname Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 I play solo mostly. Can do things at my own pace, I may switch from one activity to another (or just roam around and stare at beautiful landscapes if mood strikes me) whenever I want, some Bounties are faster if solo. And no leechers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xcenic Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 After fortuna i only play cetus for tridolon casually. Friendship ended with POE now my best friend is Orb vallis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(XBOX)SavvyDeath Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Fortuna is boring just like POE thats why not many people do it and garuda does not seem interesting to some players and some need garuda for mastery now honestly i don't see a reason behind fortuna's bounties since the only good thing it gives is garuda's parts and rest are meh. bounties were boring before fortuna and now there's more. its my own opinion i don't want to fight with an army thinking bounties are great.

RX-3DR Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 It turns out telling people to go solo to avoid leechers can have side-effects, who knew? All joking aside, primary problem is that unless there is something of value is added to the reward list for Bounties, they will eventually fall to the side just like almost every other game mode. This is really only made worse by people splitting off to solo just to avoid dealing with leechers, making a bad situation worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(XBOX)SUBWAYs Slacker Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 I play fortuna bounties for those unvaulted relics, but like the others i play solo to minimize leeching to zero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(XBOX)AMONGTHEWEAK Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 I find the bounties to be buggy at the moment, and I don't really care for leechers. I mainly solo Fortuna because of randoms and host migration etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BL4CKN0ISE Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 I don't really care about leeching, but I just don't see the point of bounties for anything other than the rewards. The problem is the rewards change and once you get what you want, what's the point? The standing gain is laughable compared to Ticker or mining. DE just balanced the different ways for gaining standing in Fortuna in a strange way. I think you should maybe need to do the hardest bounty twice to hit standing cap for the day, but the way it's set up I think I would need to do it at least 5 times and I'm only MR18. That takes such a ridiculous amount of time compared to spending seconds with Ticker or 10 minutes or so mining. I'm happy with how lucrative mining is, and Ticker is literally my favorite addition to Warframe, but maybe the tougher bounties should give around 10k standing to be more competitive with other methods for gaining rep.

(PSN)FriendSharkey Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Bounties on both the Plains and Orb Vallis are just horrible in general currently...I wish De would subscribe to the boss hunt...We should be after some giant Nox unit or BURSA TEAM...something or someone who feels like you're in a fight with Warframe's version of Monster Hunter World's Anjanath for starting players right up to the higher level facing off against Odogaron and Nergigante as examples used in another game... The Orbs that drop in when you hit 4 stars are a good start...but the repetitive nature of the bounties in both maps are soul crushing to the point where you'll just farm robofish/gems or drop all your credits into Ticker to avoid them...that's bad..that's really bad for the game...

spyroxion Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Hmm I find this strange, I play at the late evenings and Cetus is packed. Every day at same time I do 2 highest rank bounties and always full parties, no leechers and no host migrations. Maybe it has to do that at this time it's night time in Cetus so a lot come for some big robot slaughter therefore they also do some bounties as well. So for me it works to always do at the same time of they day when it's busy and night time in Cetus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)vidare Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 I might do one T5 bount per day until i reach max rank. There should have been "bounties" for Toroids. With some bonus rewards every 5min. Toroid survival. Toroids is pretty fun to farm, but being that it's a farm.. the same 2-3frames are used every time. Will kill the fun eventually.

What's happening? Do people not farm anything from Fortuna bounties? Since someone informed us we'd need max rank in Fortuna to participate in heist I did manage to find 2 teams for T5 bounty. Both of them had leechers, but hey. It's something. But sooner or later we'll be back to bounties T1-3 with ppl and T4-5 empty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)vidare Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Switch region to NA, like most do, if you are not already there. Some regions hardly have any players. I use European most of the time, but if i work late, Europe is sleeping when i get on, so i use NA those times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
