Plains of Eidolon bounties need revising.

So first of all; none of these are really fun and they're all kinda tedious. You rarely get any of the fast missions (Quickly annhiliate opposing enemy forces, etc) and they're all "take and hold for 3 minutes" or "Escort something for 2000M which can take 3-10 minutes based on how bad its pathfinding is"

 

My big problem is your bonus bounties. "Kill 15 enemies in one minute to draw the target out and get your bonus" That's cool. But the game never spawns enough enemies in the ring; so the only way to do it is to fly as fast as you can with the archwing and just kinda burst enemies down.

But you still fail the bounty even if you draw the target out. You need to kill them in one minute too, apparently! Fun times. Liberate enemy stronghold and keep it above 50%. Okay sure. That's fine until a tusk thumper shows up and just clogs everything up and ends up being the only enemy there; messing up your additional bounty because they're so stupidly tanky and basically almost impossible to kill without specific warframes or exploiting certain things.

Like, obviously you learnt something from Orb Vallis. But can you please apply the *good* things you learnt from that with all those bonus bounties? Because for the most part; orb vallis bounties + bonus bounties aren't totally awful and at least *somewhat* varied. It's really annoying that every time I just wanna farm some bleedin' eidolon lenses I can't get one extra shot at them because "oopsie, you killed a level 1 latcher that you couldn't see amidst all the gunfire because it's a suicide enemy and ble wup on you while you were capturing the target uwu" or "oopsie, you killed people AFTER you captured the target, which failed the objective!"

Yeah, posts about it popup all over the place since the bonus objectives were introduced for PoE
At this point i highly doubt that they'll ever fix it.

That's a problem that runs throughout the Plains of Eidolon, yes. So many missions boil down to a poor man's Sanctuary Onslaught "Kill as fast as possible!" yet fail to spawn enough enemies for you to kill even nominally fast. Kill 15 enemies is problematic if the game doesn't spawn 15 enemies. Liberating outposts is worse, because your control constantly drops (somehow, you lose control with no enemies on sight) and the enemies needed to kill and increase it just don't show up, or trickle in one or two at a time. At least the Deimos version of the same mission only reduces your zone control when enemies are actually IN the zone contesting it.
