Gesteur Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 I joined a random groups for the anomaly (my fault I probably should have to wait until I have friends online) as most groups do they rushed straight to the anomaly (nothing wrong with that). Most of the group rushed through to kill 20 sentients and left because they didn't get a part to drop (or rare chest) leaving the rest of the sentients. I lost the drops and chests through host migration . I killed a few more sentients with using Atlas' Ore Gaze (my Nekros isn't strong enough yet to solo the anomaly I've tried) and got the chassis to drop but the objective was complete and no one else could join the mission because of it. I decided to give the rest of the mission a try (I just upgraded my railjack and it was worth a try). After getting out of the anomaly I didn't have my railjack I had the railjack that belonged to the original host (didn't seem to have half the avionics/upgrades I have) I managed to only get 3 fighters down before back to back catastrophic failures and ultimately failed the mission (and lost the part). I'm being told that the people dropping out of the mission get to keep what they picked up while those that play the mission and end up failing loose everything. If this is true, you're penalizing the people that are trying to just play and enjoy the game. DE know you can't do anything fix what other players do, but this is worse than the players that join a sortie and just sit at the beginning of the mission to be walked through (at least I can solo a sortie, railjack is very hard to solo in veil). Only thing I could think of (and I'm sure many people farming this way will be mad) is if the anomaly is locked until the other mission objectives are completed. This type of play would stop causing making it better for players that want to run through the mission regardless of the drops in the anomaly. With making it take longer to get to a limited time rare location to try to get rare chests/drops I really hope it's a higher chance to find than normal missions due to the rarity of the location. I don't know what the actual drop rate is (I have successfully gotten 2 parts with my clan and lost 2 from this farming style discussed in this post, so doesn't seem too bad). It is hard enough to try to get things that have a 0.5% drop chance in missions that can be done at any time of day (no, I haven't been able to get the War parts to drop yet lol). Thanks for listening to my gripe and thanks again to the 2 groups of random people that did stay finish the veil missions with me after the anomaly (and those that run through the mission that I haven't met yet). Have a nice day. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daziri Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 You can't really force people to play the game how you want. People wanna farm item X, they wanna farm it as efficiently as possible. Leading to a scenario as you described. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaIthazar Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 (edited) The people that leave do not get to keep anything. They're leaving because speedrunning through the anomaly, aborting, and restarting allows for more attempts in the half hour than running the mission like normal. The best (and as far as I know only) way DE can fix this is for them to hide the drops until mission completion, so if someone picked up a Shedu part they'd need to finish the mission before finding out what part it is. The act of aborting when you don't get what you want is a Player mentality that is simply supported by a design oversight on DEs part. Take out (fix) the design oversight and people should no longer leave the mission. Edited January 4, 2020 by BaIthazar 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skaleek Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 This is how people combat oppressive drop rates. Can't blame them. They shouldn't pub though, Run the mission with friends or solo, don't screw over other people. 25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkandae Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 il y a 28 minutes, Gesteur a dit : Most of the group rushed through to kill 20 sentients and left because they didn't get a part to drop (or rare chest) leaving the rest of the sentients Lol that's stupid. Cleaning and leaving I can understand (even if I dislike it), but leaving after 20 sentients... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0_The_F00l Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 I believe something similar happened with the Arlo Nightwave boss fight, They made changes to it such that you don't see what you get until after the mission is over. Then again that mission didnt last too long , while the veil missions last anything between 15 to 30 minutes depending on objectives and levels. It is also in one of the hardest regions of the game , and going in unprepared will most likely get your wrecked. I will blame both , The player mentality as well as the design decision to make this issue possible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is not true. They were probably referring to how once the mission is complete, you don't have to return to the dojo you can abort and keep everything.

People speedrunning the sentient ship is not the problem, it's a symptom of the real problem. The real problem is that you need 3 items, each of which has a 2% chance to drop in a mission which only appears every 3 hours from a fairly rare enemy (maybe 5 per mission?). Given that we're faced with crap like that, no wonder people want to make it less painful. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then as Skaleek said farm like this solo or with friends instead of in a pug, so people trying to play the whole mission aren't hurt by this play style 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that's why I'm using pugs instead of going in solo. My own ship may have had a shot but being stuck with the original host's ship I died fast with them having close to half the ship health.

In a recruited game you can plan out your team, that way to don't wind up with 2 nekros or no farm frames. You can also discuss whether or not you want to play though the whole mission or abort if you don't find anything. Public missions are a mixed bag, you never know what you'll get and because you chose to subject yourself to it, you should expect issues. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the veil, most people don't bother using the jack unless they have maxed out t3 stuff. They mainly just use the amesha and park the jack somewhere else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(XBOX)Tucker D Dawg Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 I abort both anomaly and captain farm. I only do solo though as its much faster - I can get 5 anomaly runs in, even 6 if two are relatively small maps. I don't kill any sentients and just abort when I don't get ephemera. If I do with a squad (public or private) its max of 4 runs with loading times increased dramatically. I used to stay if I got shedu parts but since they aren't worth anything anymore, I don't even bother with that. The captain is the same - solo - kill everything for intrinsics, if I get a bp I finish the mission adding 15 minutes to the run. no railjack upgrades needed if you have decent AW gear. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But DE can improve the design of the mode so such behavior isn't so very standard and supported. It is a pretty poor design that anomalies have right now with people constantly joining and aborting missions for it in this horrendous loop of host tossing and it is entirely self facilitated by choices DE made in handling the grind for the mode. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
