My friends and I have done combined 12 runs with ZERO relic drops. Nearly every one augur message, vigilante pursuit, revenant chasis.

Please look into no relic drops. 

[(NSW)RATHURUE]

The 'Infested enemies doesn't spawn in 4th stage' bug still happens. 

NSW btw.

[(PSN)BmanTheIII]

Well thats great and all,, but would you guys at DE wanna fix this issue for me? The screen is mostly black, doesn’t matter if I reinstall the game, go into missions, into options or anything. So it’s a bug. I’d get you a pic but sadly you don’t allow to insert actuall photos here. The game Is unplayable right now (ps4)

edit: Fixed it (it was a resolution bug) all I had to do was going from user to auto and back to make it work

Il y a 20 heures, (PSN)DA-ZOMBIEGIRL19 a dit :

Yup pretty much because one is a collection and one is a skin. Just a human error, you didn't check before hand. If you want to buy the bundle just for a skin gotta pay the price always been that way. 

you can hit up support and they will refund you your plat and then you can just buy the collection.

Right after this post, relics started to drop. Still getting amazing low rng on other mods, etc. Augur message, vigilante pursuit, revenant chassis only (make neuro, systems drop, too?) 

DE,  you can probably look at results aggregate data, my friend when I joined him had gotten same 4 drops every time at same stage. Maybe too much weight on number of infusions (max) and MR level that make drops too consistent.

I've done Plague Star 3 times now & I've only been awarded credit for it once. The phylaxis was used, so we don't know what happened.

[(PSN)Trip675x]

I forgot to post what I came here looking for. 

First run you are limited to 1000 standing. Don't waste resources. 

First standing rank up at Nakak get the blue infusion. The other one can be retrieved from dojo bio lab, upper left corner. 

Second run limit 2000, rank upand choose reward. 

Third run limit 3000, rank up and get reward. 

After that, 3050 per run, maybe more with more gold somehow. 

Forma 3000. Ghoul saw 5 bp@4000 ea. 

Nova can portal drone to speed it up a little. Only need range and nothing else. Zenurik can slow lephantis so you can hit mouth. Archgun works well (mausolon or necramech). Arquwbx doesn't. Everyone needs to stay in yellow circle to spawn infested. Boil will kill you with direct health damage. 

Only one person needs to go in cave. Unknown but long time to put infusions in so don't rush. Have to do 1 at a time. 

Super grind so be patient. Lephantis spawns at 25/50/75/99% infested. 

Infusions take grokdrul etc, so pick it up.

You need to rank up at Nakak after each of the first 3 runs (with proper infusions) 

Each player can put more than 1 of each infusion. 

[(NSW)Mythryth]

Trying to do a second Plague Star bounty from inside the gates on the planes, brakes the bounty and stops infested pods from spawning at 50%. at lest on Switch.

But I'm already at max rank with Nakak from the first time I did the event though.

Don't forget the stance is 3K as well.

Running solo I am feeling that spawning all 4 may not be the best use of time. I'm going to try 2 which will get my 2K standing for each run and see how long that takes me in comparison.

Should have made this a Halloween event.

FAQ:

“How do I participate in Operation Plague Star?”
Operation Plague Star can be accessed by speaking with Konzu in Cetus. The first Bounty listed in his menu will be “Operation Plague Star.”

“Where do I turn in my Operational Supply?”
Operational Supply earned from completing Operation Plague Star can be turned in to Nakak, Cetus’ oddities vendor by selecting “Operational Supply.”

“Does my daily Standing cap affect my Operational Supply gain?”
No, the Operational Supply earned in the event is not affected by your daily cap.

“How do I summon Hemocyte to earn the Hunter Mod Set?”
The Hemocyte enemy can be spawned by mixing the “Infested Catalyst” into the toxin during Stage 2 of the bounty. The “Infested Catalyst” can be crafted after Researching the reusable blueprint found in your Dojo’s Bio Lab. Make sure you equip it in your Gear tab!

“How do I use the Eidolon Phylaxis to increase my Standing gain?”
The Eidolon Phylaxis can be mixed into the toxin during stage 2 of the bounty to increase its lethality and increase your Standing gain. They can be crafted using a reusable blueprint available for purchase once you reach the “Collaborator” rank (rank 1) in the Operational Supply Syndicate. Make sure you equip it in your Gear tab!

“Will I be able to build the Trophies for this Operation if I missed them the first time?”
Yep! You will be able to build the Clan Trophies with your existing and newly earned Hemocyte Cystolith.

“Are any items event exclusive?”
Nope! Rewards in Operation Plague Star will return in future events. This means that the Infested Zaw parts will be re-obtainable in future events. The Ghoulsaw and Stance 'Butchers Revelry' will be added in to the game in the future. If you want it now, get it in Plague Star!

“Can my Clan build a the Operation Trophies after the event ends?”
Yes! You are able to craft the trophies indefinitely so long as you possess an adequate amount of the Hemocyte Cystolith.

"Is my progress/rank in the Operational Supply Syndicate saved?"
Yes, your rank in the Operational Supply Syndicate will be saved when the event ends and is carried forward.

“Has my Operational Supply Standing been saved from the last Operation: Plague Star?”
It has! We have decided to keep all player’s Operational Supply Standing fully intact form wherever they last left off in Operation: Plague Star! 

Thanks Tenno! Go splatter some Hemocyte guts around the Plains!

Very slow performance, buggy , very bad playing experience, 20 runs to get an artifact. Not really worth the time .

[(PSN)SlyFox5679]

how about you fix the spawning bugs where we are waiting on pods to spawn.

 

[MobyTheDuck]

I'm still impressed that the defense sections still take that long and the drone still moves like a snail, even after years of the same complains.

Hey guys! We have hotdropped a server side fix for Stage 4 not spawning enemies. Please relog to receive the fix. Happy boil popping! 

Danielle the hotfix never fixed infested spawns if you repeat the mission just outside cetus on the plains once you get back to the fourth segment after 25% or 50% the spawn pods stop spawning.

[Melles64]

Very disappointed in the Ghoulsaw given the amount of resources that it takes to make. Also the keeping the placeholder name is a bit disappointing, since its a Grineer weapon. We could have had it been the Tearra or something of that ilk (Which would have been an amusing counterpart to the Ripkas). Riding is cool in theory but its basically a controllable dash with a semi-fixed distance. It's an MR 7 weapon that requires just far too much investment, making it kinda feel like a weapon for nobody.

I'm just gonna hope the next Assault Saw has some beefy stats to enjoy, and maybe a few tweaks to the stance. If I could just ride the Saw for as long as I wanted I'd already enjoy it a fair bit more.

[CoffeeElemental]

Love the event, but maybe it's time to add some additional twists to it?

Like, different hemocyte variations, replacing drone escort part with something else, etc.

[(PSN)chaniusul]

Your event is buged. Go fix this and up timing  to october for compensate.

[(XBOX)Big Roy 324]

Event is almost over and largely I had fun with it.  I will agree with others asking for a mix up to the bounties in the future. Perhaps an inclusion of the tusk thumper.  Considering it seems to spawn frequently during day runs anyway. 

I do get why the defend the mixer is so long.  But maybe there can be another method that gives everyone time to contribute. Without having to wait 3 minutes around a defense target.
