Clarification and Suggested Solutions on Optional Mission Requirements?

[Loveframe]

Can DE clarify what players should do with optional mission tasks?

Most challenges for all mission types below:

• Auto-joining of random players with different goals for same mission causes conflicts.

Possible Solution:

• It should be assumed/clarified that random groups should treat optional tasks as such, purely optional and not be expected to be completed unless agreed upon during session.

Proposed Lich Solutions:

• Multiple Lich should be able to spawn at a time, removes a player from requiring to engage their Lich before others can engage their own.
• Lich spawns should "chase" or spawn near their target similar to how Stalker/Assassin/Hit Squads spawn near and target the player. 
   

Some example mission types that are always causing community conflicts:

Hidden Caches

• Find hidden caches in mission.
• Problem: some players may not want to/don't need rewards, may not have a loot finder mod equipped or Nora Night hasn't requested them to do it this day/week.

Operation Plague Star

• Eidolon Phylaxes/Infested Catalyst contributions.
• Problem: some players don't want to increase the difficulty of the last boss, which they may or may not be geared/specc'd for.

Kuva Flood Missions

• Kuva braid destruction not required to complete mission.
• Kuva braid destruction not required to earn guaranteed Requiem Relic Reward.
• Problem: some players are here only for the requiem relic, not Kuva, which has many more locations and means of being farmed.

Lich Controlled Mission Nodes

• Mission Completion/Reward is not related to Lich system.
• Main Problem: Inconsistent reasons to join mission.
  • Some players are there to collect Murmurs
  • Some to fight their Lich
• Lich Specific Problems:
  • Lich spawns do not chase after their player, meaning player or group may need to backtrack through entire mission map to find Lich.
  • Lich spawns block other player's Lich's from spawning.

Edit: I realized after submitting I put this in the General instead of Mission feedback sub, Mods please move as needed.
