Deacons now have a much larger view cone than they should in New War

[Malaki_7]

In the Stolen Plates mission of the New War quest, when you are required to sneak past the Deacons in the Corpus Base, the range they can see is now much further than it should be. 

When the quest released, the range that they would spot you at used to be the same as the visual indicator in front of them, now it is nearly twice that, making the section much harder for new players.

There are certain sections where now, if you don't run past them fast enough, you will die because you will always get spotted, whereas before they couldn't see you from that far away, and the level worked as designed.

Is this still going on? I was about to take a year or two off until I had someone in my life who could do that for me because there's no scenario where I get through that quest as it is right now. That's an anxiety feedback loop I played Warframe to avoid.

The bug is not fixed yet, if you are stuck look up someone's playthrough from more recently. There is one segment where you will need to run or you will always get killed (when you are going onto the pipe).

This bug still occurs as of Echoes of Veilbreaker. It is making that segment of The New War much more difficult than it should be.

This bug is still a thing as of Lua's Prey.

To provide some more useful information. Here is a clip of how the quest is supposed to work:

And here is a clip of what happens now:

This super extended view range does not match their view area VFX in the slightest, and makes it significantly harder to complete this section of the quest in some cases. This issue is fixed in other places where deacons show up like in Veilbreaker missions, but in the quest their view range is much higher than it is supposed to be. 

 

This bug occurs on all platforms, and is reproducible every time that section of the quest is played.

This bug still occurs as of 2023. I am not sure if this is intended, but it was not in the patch notes anywhere, so I am still assuming it is a bug.

This bug still occurs as of Citrines Last Wish

[Malaki_7]

Their view distance almost seems like it is getting slightly longer with every update. It is very broken.

This issue still occurs as of Duviri Paradox.

This issue still occurs as of Crimes of Kullervo

After finding Warframe & really enjoying it, getting stuck at this point in the game sucked. The sight line of these deacons is now as close to infinite to not matter inside a room. They see you through some boxes. And you’re stuck here until you get past this part of the game, unable to play the rest of the game.

Hopefully they come to their senses and fix this.

I still don’t know how I got past it.

I hate to res this but I'm watching a friend stream these parts and the line of sight is a bit to much .....

Sadly they don't had time to work into this bug. They had sooo much work to do, and now they are 100% working in patching LoS.
