5ankai Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 (edited) Did I miss a change to capture missions? I've just run Hepit 4 times in a row and each time it changed to exterminate after I got the capture target. Edit: Ran Ukko, same result.

(PSN)OriginalEquinox Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 The 'change of plans' is random I think, haven't heard of anything that triggers it so maybe you got extremely unlucky? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-AiLuoLi- Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 I die a little inside every time capture mode got changed to exterminate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SerphV Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 I actually did wonder if it has something to do with you capturing your target too quickly... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirTobe Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 I've had that happen as well in fissure missions. Lotus suddenly got an endless thirst for Corpus blood, lol. It went back to normal after a while. I don't think it has to do with how fast the target is captured, because then it would happen even more often.

Aldain Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 This seems to have been happening much more to me lately. Along with the Stalker showing his face every 4th mission (specifically for me every time by the way). I'm wondering if the last Switch patch did more than just mess up warframe colors.

(PSN)robotwars7 Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 I like it, I usually kill any enemies in front of me on the way out anyway, so hunting them down is no problem. exterminate is also my favourite mission type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsukinoki Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 5 hours ago, 5ankai said: it changed to exterminate after I got the capture target. That's the most annoying part of it. If they would only change the mission type before you completed the mission that would be one thing, but changing it after the mission is finished is just plain annoying. Whats extra annoying is if she changes it after you down the capture target but before you can capture him...then he is left lying there yelling loudly and your map markers are now broken as the only one points to him and unlike normal capture he doesn't have a bleedout timer anymore. Makes it annoying trying to find the exit tile... 22 minutes ago, (PS4)robotwars7 said: you should always be able to kill stuff regardless of gear though. unless you're levelling unmodded gear or something, which I think would be a bad idea. Its not just unmodded gear though. Sometimes I just bring a single target frame and weapons, or loki and single target weapons or melee weapons, just to kill the target and get out, when it switches to exterminate and I have to kill 90 enemies that takes a while. If I come into the mission with an AOE frame or weapon then it doesn't matter because I can quickly clear any amount of mobs that the game throws at me. There are times I like to not bring the AoE meta frames/weapons to have fun, and when it switches to an Axi exterminate and I don't have weapons or abilities that can erase hordes its...annoying. Not hard or impossible just annoying with how much longer it'll take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yrkul Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 They need to make more alternatives, and give better rewards. That way you get a sense of serendipity, instead of it becoming a chore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voltage Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 I find this mechanic hilariously useless because it's much faster to abort the mission and restart than it is to actually finish the exterminate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaemyerelis Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Wearing every dragon key for an orokin vault solo run. Click capture, capture target... Lotus says, "ok now go kill 100 enemies.. Me: GDI lotus T____T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(XBOX)YoungGunn82 Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 (edited) What is irritating to me is that the Lotus is in no way in a position to give any orders. It's straight stupid because "spoiler" umbra "spoiler" new/war "spoiler" trader and she's a freaking hologram. I mean where do the capture targets go now? DE needs to change that stupid Lotus holo mode for those that have completed the Umbra quest. Edited January 9, 2019 by (XB1)RDeschain82 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

--DSP--Jetstream Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Change of plans to spy mission, mobile defense, kuva siphon, archwing pursuit would be interesting instead of just exterminate should add rewards too so these "change of plans" things can be a method to farm something rare same like zanuker or grustrash three Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mind the change of plans...But Lotus and I had a contract for a specific mark. Lotus needs to pay me accordingly instead of withholding my rewards for additional free work. ...I'm not a charity. So Imma go capture Gary the Glaxion Guy and now I need to clear the station as well? Edited January 9, 2019 by Padre_Akais Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nyx219 Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 It's been around quite a while, it's actually rather refreshing when it crops up. Nothing like hearing the Lotus' cheery "Happy hunting!" quip to tel you she's gone full bloodthirsty. Except for that glitch that one time. You may remember the one, where all the remaining folks in the capture-turned-exterminate were suddenly also...capture targets. All 200+ of them. You could down 'em & capture 'em, but you couldn't kill 'em. I was like, "Lotus, whatever you're on, it must be good..." Twas as impossible as it got. Funny as all get-out in hindsight, but very frustrating at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teliko_Freedman Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Doesn't it change based on too many soldiers seeing you while doing the objective? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TARINunit9 Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Legend speaks of a time when Rescue could change to Spy AFTER you already freed the hostage, AND the hostage was still mission critical. Be glad they changed it so that it's always an Exterminate after the "Lotus hijack" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
