HelpingFR Posted June 7, 2014 Posted June 7, 2014 (edited) Hello everyone (and DE, i hope.). I want to talk to you about the Codex who really needs a definitive fix. Many problems that players, especially completionnists like me, saw unfixed for months! I want really to focus about all theses problems on the codex, point per point. 1# Scanner: Scanner is too slow and the viewfinder is a bit… little. Enemies die most quickly than you scan them and it’s really annoying. And it’s more when it concerns a rare enemy like electric crawler. 2# Number of scans : It’s clear, there is a problem with the number of scans required to complete a codex entry. The better example to give you is Seekers or Crawlers. They needs to much scans for their rarity. 10 scans for both would be enough. Especially when we have more common enemies that have less scans required. (MOA shockwaves, Soldiers, Eviscerators.) 3# Theses entries that doesn’t exist! Let’s talk about the three unknown corpus (Well, we know now they are Corpus scouts from Arid Fear Event.) that make a disturbing hole in the codex for nothing, which stayed here for months. I will also talk about the Arid Butcher Eximus who doesn’t exists too (We have normal Butchers Eximus on Phobos.) -> Update 13.7 seems to fix this. 4# Eximus. After I completed the codex, I was proud. And then, their eximus version appeared… And Let’s go back to find more rare enemies. The true problem with eximus in the codex is that I think De just added them without thinking to change the number of scans or make an entire category for eximus or give them their own faction. The most frustrating is Eximus Crawlers and Eximus Seekers. It’s not rare enemies. It’s ultra-rare enemies. And the scanning of eximus enemies is combining every default I’ve pointed before ; Scanner, number of scans etc. Well. The only way to don’t be &!$$ed of by eximus scan, it’s interceptions. Many eximus spawns there. But I’m really &!$$ed off by seekers. And I don’t think Infested Interceptions exists. To conclude : -Delete the three unknown corpus and replace them by the corpus target. - Number of scans really based on spawn frequency (ESPECIALLY for our dears Seekers or Crawlers.), and fox it too for eximus.) - Solve eximus problem. We could make a single entry for each faction. *One scan is counted for all the other (we wouldn’t have to check for eximus crawlers for example.) *We can make a new faction based on all the eximus. One entry for each characteristic (Fire Eximus, Ice Eximus, Leech Eximus…) - Instantaneous scan. - Ability to scan dead corpse. I think it would be the better way to make the scanning less frustrating, and it’ll be easier to complete the codex. I hope I will be heared and theses 4 points will become old story. Thank you for listening and if I forgot things, please, report them, It would be good. (Sorry if my English isn’t perfect. :( ) IMPORTANT Do not hesitate to help to keep this topic up, if you support the fix of the codex. DE will have more chance to see us.

tveeggad Posted June 7, 2014 Posted June 7, 2014 My friends usually doesn't care about the codex, but usually point out electric crawlers for me. Buuuut.. Randoms doesn't care. Secondly, yes. I agree on this entire post.
Xandis Posted June 7, 2014 Posted June 7, 2014 Agreed 100%. I made a topic similar to this a few months ago, talking about the Eximus scans, https://forums.warframe.com/index.php?/topic/220926-hey-de-could-you-tone-down-the-eximus-scans-suggestions-included/

I agree on this entire post. It's true that random doesn't care about it. And I don't think many of them are understanding the codex yet (How much time I get on teams with many random newbies shooting everywhere...)
HelpingFR Posted June 9, 2014 Author Posted June 9, 2014 Post for upping the topic, helping DE to see what is weong with codex.
DeadScream Posted June 9, 2014 Posted June 9, 2014 You get my support for your ideas. Honestly I don't care about the codex, but those "little things" give an "uncomplete" feel to the game and it's disturbing.
Sneyek Posted June 9, 2014 Posted June 9, 2014 And you get my support to ! The codex really need to be fixed :)
HelpingFR Posted June 10, 2014 Author Posted June 10, 2014 I was playing when I asked my self about scanning bodies. It would be better to have a last chance to have a scan, and it would be less frustrating because no one would try to kill a dead ennemy.
Neogeo Posted June 10, 2014 Posted June 10, 2014 Scan should auto complete if the target was killed. I'm already stop fighting to start scanning. Not my fault that my team killed the target. Why punish me for something I had no control with? The only way to complete the codex is to do it solo which against the coops natural of this game. Fix it DE!
-10no-Nameless Posted June 10, 2014 Posted June 10, 2014 (edited) I agree. Moreover - there is no way to find arid/frontier butchers eximus... There are only simple Butchers Eximus on Earth and Phobos :( Edited June 10, 2014 by _nameless
HelpingFR Posted June 11, 2014 Author Posted June 11, 2014 I agree. Moreover - there is no way to find arid/frontier butchers eximus... There are only simple Butchers Eximus on Earth and Phobos :( I find a lot of Frontier butcher on Gaia (interception mission). But it's true for arid butcher. I think it's possible to get those, I saw a picture of an Arid Butcher once on this forum. But I don't think they are common. Still DE need to fix this.
HelpingFR Posted June 12, 2014 Author Posted June 12, 2014 (edited) Well, with the new update, it seems arid Butcher Eximus are back. They also made up a new system for eximus survival. They spawn at 5 minutes and after, they will have 20 % chance to spawn (max in 60 minutes.) They also add eximus orokins... Great, more eximus... Except this, nothing interesting. Still same number of scans requiered. EDIT : I think there is a kind of bug with scans. It seems all my scan are not counted by the game. And I saw this with my eximus seekers. I scanned one frontier seeker and two arid ones. The frontier hadn't been counted and only one arid seeker has been counted. Edited June 12, 2014 by HelpingFR
-10no-Nameless Posted June 19, 2014 Posted June 19, 2014 (edited) I can't find any frontier butchers eximus still.... ( Edited June 19, 2014 by _nameless
HelpingFR Posted June 20, 2014 Author Posted June 20, 2014 I can't find any frontier butchers eximus still.... ( Did you tried interception. I'm finding them. Strange... Execpt this, Eximus crawlers now require 3 scans instead of 30. But it didn't changed for the reste (Seeker). But still better than nothing. Thank you DE !

Nemesis3161 Posted July 3, 2014 Posted July 3, 2014 Hello, i agree swith your ideas, the codex needs to be fixed !
HelpingFR Posted July 12, 2014 Author Posted July 12, 2014 I want to get this topic up. So, the update of survival making eximus spawns more often is efficient. (Still need to put 10 scans to complete Seekers entries instead of 20) It would be also time to delete the three unknown corpus entries wich pollute the codex. I don't think this kind of thing take much time, and I hope an upcoming update will soon fix it.
HelpingFR Posted July 18, 2014 Author Posted July 18, 2014 Last update of the topic. Finally, All eximus scans requiered are now at 3. The three unknown corpus are out. Thank you DE for this gift for U14 !
