ENGINEEEEER Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Hopped back in recently and decided to try my hand farming Protea, which is killing all enjoyment. About half of missions the Hand portal doesn't work at all. Next, the spawns of enemies in the void is wildly inconsistent. Next, those enemies randomly drop time extending drops, which are barely visible. Finally the drop chances are as low as 11% which leads to frustration. Could DE fix their current content before they push out another update and warframe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen it happen just today while famring Protea for a second time for the Helminth update - first time was right after the Deadlock Protocol landed. I did around 10 runs before having to log and it looks like we couldn't interact with golden hands when a certain spawn tile was selected by the game algorithm. Or at least that's what we conjectured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premade group and I was usually first to the hand. Maybe it's a recent development. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it could have popped up in the derelict shift update? do you know what position the hand was in? it changes when it has already veen activated and cant be used again.

Teksorbkyva Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Can't say I've had issues since I got all my drops from it. Last I did Granum Void was about a week or two after the update so any issue since they is likely client-based or part of a recent update. Be thankful the drop rates are not lower. 11% is fairly generous in Warframe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm talking missions up for 30 seconds that the entire team started together. Palm still facing towards the panel as if to make a portal. It's something since Derelict Shift. There's a few bug report threads on it. I just picked a bad time to start this farm I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizzarugi Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 The Derelict Shift slightly broke the Golden Hand. I was lucky to finish farming Protea's parts just before it launched, but I have indeed experienced them not working every now and then. I also agree with the points in the OP. It was an absolute chore getting her parts, but I'm glad I enjoy playing Revenant, because his 4 absolutely trivializes Granum Void. It's even faster than taking Mesa.

Definitely noticed this right here. The spawns work for you and Squad Mates just fine until all of a sudden in another run, you would be wondering “where’s the enemies at?” And you don’t get enough kills to reached Rotation C for a Protea Part. Very annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmlessDan Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 My group and I are experiencing all the same frustrations. Golden hands don't work, enemy spawns in the Granum Void are sparse and don't drop extra time enough, and in at least 30 runs we have gotten a single part for Protea. We are strong arming it hard but it is no longer fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
continue Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 all of these issues are still present as of heart of deimos. i was gonna ease myself back into the game with the fairly easy goal of getting stahta, but i really don't enjoy "will it drop" RNG and "will it bug" RNG stacking on top of each other On 2020-08-16 at 9:44 PM, Miser_able said: I have literally never seen this happen, and I farmed protea twice, as well as the weapons several times. are you sure it wasnt something like someone already used it? solo player here having said issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoomFruit Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 4 hours ago, continue said: solo player here having said issue I have this problem as well. It seems like the hand is broken for approximately a third of the missions that I run. I play on "friends only" by default, nobody has ever dropped into one of the hand runs that I've attempted. In fact, if it weren't for the Revenant tip posted above, I wouldn't even bother in the first place. My first attempts with my usual Loki were so disheartening (not even reaching half the kill counter) that, combined with the utter bullS#&$ damage resistance of the coin carriers (a 10-3 multiplier), I just gave up entirely.

continue Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 WRT the hand being broken, i saw speculation in another thread that the console doesn't work if you get this spawn tile (as opposed to the one with a statue of granum): Spoiler 5 hours ago, DoomFruit said: the utter bullS#&$ damage resistance of the coin carriers (a 10-3 multiplier), I just gave up entirely. i believe the DR is on shields only, so you could use nyx to strip the shields instantly with +25% power strength since it's percentage based (and then redeem the coin during a different mission with a different warframe). toxin DOESN'T work even though this is literally its only job. but yeah i had been using octavia to more or less auto-clear granum void so it's very noticeable when spawns are bugged Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been consistently happening to me since Sunday. I am unable to run the Sabotage Jupiter mission back to back, log in, complete the void mission and sabotage, when I go back in the console will not reset and is permanently off. Last night it was off on my initial attempt, jumped into the phobos mission and that one was working. May coincide with me completing the Deimos quest line this past weekend. Solo playing as well.

I can confirm that the hand was in the palm open to you position with the console off, I'll grab a pic of it tonight if it happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(XBOX)Calliber Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 Got around to taking vids/pics. This was 2nd consecutive run on Jupiter Sabotage mission on Adrastea. 1st run the console worked, I cleared it tier 3, completed the mission. Reloaded back in and got this, Palm open but console off. Solo runs both times. Picture and Video. PictureVideo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScytodiDaedalus Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 This bug occurs, I believe 100% of the time when you spawn/start in the room with the big standing coin/circle rotating in the middle of a big room. Some missions seem to force you to spawn in such room, I can't tell which. Apparently it has been over 1 month now the since this bug is here and this makes farming Protea all the more frustrating with it's absurdly low drop chances.
