ZeroBladeTV Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 First off, worst mechanic in game. A lot of players agree. Would've been better if it was working properly, but anyway... Second, half the time the tranq hits don't register. Third, NPC hitboxes are screwed and most of the time you have to fire below them to actually hit them. Fourth, you have no identification on different types of captures on the map, you have to jump from capture to capture to find the one you need. Fifth, you can't enter transference when you have a tranq rifle equipped, which makes it incredibly annoying, having to hit F to switch weapons, to be able to use transference. Sixth, don't... just don't... put challenges in Nightwave that require 'PERFECT' captures or 'USE X FORMAS', that's just a waste of time and resources. Leave conservation for the people that enjoy it, don't force it on every one. IMO that's the worst game mode, worse than conclave and I never want to do it again. But the damn NW is forcing me to do it. p.s. Seventh, after finishing the damn challenge, my NW XP DROPPED from 9,5k to 8,5k. That's right, I didn't get the next tier reward, it actually dropped my XP by 1k. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's right, I didn't get the next tier reward, it actually dropped my XP by 1k. The mechanic is wonky but honestly not that bad. I don’t notice any hit box issue, but I do notice a delay on impact and sleep (which I believe is intended). However the tranq gun is awful slow. (I think you meant “third”) If you select the echo lure for the animal you want to hunt, only those icons appear on the map. Transferance and other abilities are an issue with all three activity items. (Fishing, mining, and hunting) I agree to leaving out the Forma challenges, but the conservation one was actually a welcomed change for me. If if you use the mindset of “leave it to those that enjoy it” that would mean taking out kuva survival, ESO/SO, invasions and Nightmare. They are all things other prefer to play but are “forced” on others during these challenges. if your standing dropped, it is an issue for support, not the forums.

If you are actively holding the lure when you open the map, it should only show animals for that lure. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never had that issue. There is only one animal that no matter how many darts you hit it with it wont tranquilize and its one of the Condors that spawn in the plains as its not from the hunting mechanism. 19 minutes ago, ZeroBladeTV said: Third, NPC hitboxes are screwed and most of the time you have to fire below them to actually hit them.

I have no issues with the Hunting one. Doing 'PERFECT' captures is easy, specially if you use a frame like Loki/Octavia to get invisible and go very close to your target or Revenant to cast Enthrall at a distance which makes mobs not run and allows for every capture to be perfect. Only two Nightwave missions i have issues with is the Forma and Modular weapon ones... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Limbo_Darkness Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Well NW forces some of us to play Ropalolyst, so it's fine. Conservation isn't even that bad if you know how to do it, and I don't think the lures are broken currently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobie-wan Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Look at all those in non-agreement posting in this thread. Captures are fine. The sawgaws need fixing, but it's a fine weekly that could of course be skipped if one wants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)Stealth_Cobra Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 I don't mind having to do animal captures, I mind having to do "Perfect" captures... Since the mechanics to get perfect captures are finicky at best and you often have to try multiple times with a perfectly stealth frame (since you nerfed the ivara sleep arrow thing that made perfect captures bearable).

In order to limit the points that show up on the map you actually have to have the lure equipped, which means switching to the tranq rifle and then hitting "2" to pull the lure out. If you only have the tranq rifle equipped you'll sell all of the points. That's how I did my hunts last night. 31 minutes ago, (PS4)Stealth_Cobra said: (since you nerfed the ivara sleep arrow thing that made perfect captures bearable). Its barely a nerf. You just have to hit the animal directly instead of meters away, which isn't hard if you use navigate (which also works on the tranq rifle). The biggest "nerf" this causes is that you can no longer get 3 perfect pobber captures at a time with a single sleep arrow...but that's barely anything considering the low standing pobbers give anyways. 1 hour ago, BiancaRoughfin said: Only two Nightwave missions i have issues with is the Forma and Modular weapon ones..

(PSN)corpusbonds Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 It’s not that bad. Rather enjoy it. I’ve had no problems using Ivara to tranq them. Got a perfect each time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My only complaint about that is how the NPC constantly pops in and says "What a waste...." and complains every single time an animal is accidently killed by a stray bullet or AOE. Gets really annoying really quickly to have the constant complaints when I didn't even know that a Kuakka was over there near the Grineer I happened to be attacking. And his lines are shorter than the vallis lines for killing a creature... Edited July 31, 2019 by Tsukinoki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velothed Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 (edited) I'm absolutely amazed by people having problems with conservation, sure it gets really boring fast and is quite repetetive, especially the tracking part, but imo it's way more easy than most other activities. The way I get standing: - Take any frame, really, for kubrodons any frame is fine - Equip Kubrodon Echo-lure, chose one of the spots on the map (usually 3 for kubrodons for me) do the stuff, with pheromon etc. - Kubrodon appears, you see him on the map because of enemy radar (with pheromon, about 60% of the time it's an incarnate) he doesn't see you yet - point and shoot your three darts into him, bam perfect conservation 8000 standing, takes about 1-2 minutes, repeat 3-5 times, daily standing full. The only non perfect kubrodon capture I had so far was when he spawned right on top of me. I'd also like to add, that so far with ivara I always get perfect captures, even if my sleep arrow lands 2m left of the animal. Mind you I'm not saying "git gud" I'm pretty convinced you are doing something wrong, watch a video online and follow all the steps, I'm pretty sure you'll soon find this extremly easy aswell. If there is enough interest, I can upload a video myself. EDIT: Here an example: [media] I understand if you don't have fun doing it though, it can be quite boring, but to that I can only repeat what many people allready said, you can savely skip about a third of the challanges and still get all the rewards.

(XBOX)Zweimander Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Who uses the tranq gun when you have Ivara kr equinox anyway? The way you go about i lt must be incredibly bad if you are struggling tk get the perfect captures. Stay down wind as Ivara and sleep arrow/ Sleep the animal and it is easy to do the NW challenge.

You don't even need stealth abilities. If you're down wind, get up high, and crouch and wait, it can be done. If you stay zoomed in with the tranq gun, the animal will flash orange, even behind terrain so you can make sure you're out of sight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zephnus Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 (edited) I'm up to a lot of things in this game but I run from conservation like It's plague. A lovely clan mate helped me with this today and is fine, when in a pinch ask your clan mates / friends , this is a co-op game.
