Heart of Deimos: Hotfix 29.0.6

[CandyManCriminal]

I was hoping for more Necramech balancing, but this is a good start

[AzuReV546]

How about giving Enemy Necramechs ability cooldowns since they have infinite energy?

Its frustrating to chip away only for them to cast it again.. and those mines getting spammed are a nightmare..

[FUBAR-BDHR]

What a buggy piece of crap update.  Vaults totally broken.  Can't enter doors get teleported back out like I fell though the map and I'm not the only one it happened too.  Vault 3 even teleported me to inside of vault one.  No mod drops from the necrobots but other people did get them.  The fast travel back to the surface doesn't work have to run all the way back out.  Did anyone test this for 2 seconds?

[Mystgunx]

I don't usually post on these things, but is there a way to turn off the blur effect when using sly Vulpaphyla? It can make it difficult to see when fighting groups of enemies.

[Jedi_pup]

did a solo 3 vault run, and ran into glitch that vaults 2 and 3 had their end goal set at the first vault. so i had to go all the way to the first vaults treasure room to receive the clear.

also side note: K-drive dungeon race to the finish.

• Fixed Necramech’s not retaining their gained XP if you left the Necramech before you entered the gate/area to return to Town.
  Yeah and? I ranked up to 10 and still did nothing. What a lie.

[Xianos_Chaos]

When you gonna fix those ingredient costs? Some are just ridiculous too high. D:

[MrFrog9]

Guardedly optimistic for the upcoming Xaku changes. Check back in a week for me inevitably throwing a temper tantrum over some minor tweak that I personally didn't want.

New specter types incoming.

How are they broken though?

[Crackensan]

Thank you for fixing Hildryn!!!!!!!!

[Brahkest]

*continues hoping for scintillant drop rate changes*

Unlike everyone who has been blessed by angels and absolutely swimming in scintillant, I've yet to see a drop in the last several days with hours worth of vault farming with boosters, nekros, and smeeta all doing their 'gold star for participation' best to help. I've managed to get 2 in t1 bounties so as far as I'm concerned, that's the only place they exist.

Put scintillant as a purchasable resource with Loid as cetus wisps are for the Quills. Everyone's gonna have a ton of matrixes anyway with nothing to spend them on. Put it as a plat option. Literally anything

[Furyk-Karede]

Cool. Fixes.

 

Is the Dark Split Sword ever going to be on the list? Holster animations and skins broken for how many years now?

Imagine replacing Hildryn's abilities. 

[TheBlackShawarma]

Do something with necra mods.

[Kingsmount]

Since this hotfix,  consistently every time I do an Isovault, the requiem door throws me back in front of it when I try to go through.  I have to force it hard but you can eventually get past with persistence.   I also very frequently get a glitch where I cannot use archwing anywhere,  it always says invalid.

And just now, I FINALLY got a non-common Necramech mod, Necramech Continuity which I was really hoping to find and finally did.  Only to then experience the worst run yet where I got the Corn glitch where my mech lost its limbs   On top of that,  my warframe disappeared.  I could not transference to the frame.  If I went down in operator, I'd be revived by teammates as operator.   

When we extracted, I lost all my rewards save for 12 mother tokens and 2 relics basically.

Needless to say my disappointment is immeasurable.  

[Eigengrau_7]

This might just be me but if DE adds a new Hey Kiddo animation of the "doppelganger" (I forget the name please be kind) sitting/ playing with the Helminth Warframe Flowers that would be so cool.

Fix octavia's mallet dealing 0 damage on steel path mot, void mobs.

Fix khora's strangledome, some enemies are just walking around the dome.

[Brunhylde]

I did a solo run of Isolation Vaults..
T1 went off without a hitch..

After opening the T2 vault, the game told me to loot the vault in T1..

T3 went off without a hitch..

[Ithira]

These are the changes you're going with? Nothing about the Helminth costs, buffing Xaku, changing the vault bounties so that we can choose what tier we want to start on? That's disappointing..

So, nothing about those Railjack resources? You guys can't be serious with these amounts.

[Citraine]

Still losing all my affinity on the Necramech after extracting. Kind of annoying. Lost around 20 levels so far. Just gonna wait/hope an actual fix to happen for that before trying to  level the mech.

[blackheleo]

Hi thanks very much for the fixes.

i wanted to make a comment regarding melee swing effects. it seems like the effect goes beyond the blade of the weapon on every heavy weapon. so there is a random line and trail of energy on an ax that is beyond the blade and floating in mid air.
