ImagineMyNickname Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Okay, so I'm too slow even for Slowpoke, alright? I was on the Nightmare Alert when Zanuka came after me. It put me down in a blink of an eye - no surpises there. When I died, the camera went to the sky. I thought it was a bug, but turns out - I got captured. This is the kind of thing, I did not expect to happen. I was re-routed to Jupiter into Alad V's lab. Lotus contacted me and said "Run." So I ran. Puched MOA to death on the way out. 10/10 would do it again. Alad told me about the Grineer. How bad, how ignorant they are. I may have just statrted to sympathise that old madman. He was right, mostly. In the end, he lost it completely but this is just another story. I escaped in my Liset shocked and excited. This never happened to me before. Have you ever experienced it? And what was your first reaction to this? - KK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunDownGrace Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 oh thats as old as the hills basically...but rare enough that you might think its new if youve never seen it before i was on my mirage once,which was lvl 22 at the time,and zanuka came...was on corpus ship tileset,so i wedged zanuka into an inconvenient position inbetween a wall and a vent thingy with the aid of my kubrow,and beat zanuka to death with a candycane,literally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceDragonofAmber Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 I doubt very many people have experienced this mission, due to the fact that the Harvester is both the rarest and weakest of all the Assassins, and most people would kill it for Detron parts over getting captured. I personally have only ever fought it twice, first time he spawned in a wall and died via environmental fire (-_-) and the second time my team demolished it in under two seconds.

tveeggad Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 I allowed myself to be captured the second time the harvester came for me because I wanted to see what it was like. Honestly... 10/10 do want to use bare hands a lot more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xethier Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 i've been playing since long before this was implemented into the game. but since z-hunter is a little fluffy kitten, he's never been able to capture me and i haven't experienced this directly. (although i've heard quite a bit about it from various friends / clanmates) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And 7 times i have gotten a Detron barrel. so much hate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xRevelation Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 I heard about it, but I Barely get chased by the Zanuka :D so it never happened to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGear Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 I'm a Wiki resident so I knew about this feature right away. The only time I ever got captured however was when I let myself get mauled by Zanuka so I can try out the mission myself. I demand DE give us the option of going weaponless and/or barehanded in actual missions, because it's badass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
321agemo Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 (edited) I've done this mission a while back. I was solo-ing on a mid-tier corpus survival mission when it came for me. Unfortunately, I got caught by a freeze aura which meant I couldn't dodge out of the way ( plus I was using low ranking items at the time). Got caught. And whisked away. The escape mission was actually pretty fun tbh, would do it again. Edited December 31, 2014 by 321agemo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havikryan Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 I want to try it out but it's been like half a year since ANY assassins(excluding syndicates) actually attacked me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bernkastal Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 I got locked by the G3, murdered by the stalker, and kidnapped by the Harvester. 10/10 for the g3 and harvester stuff. It's actually ridiculously fun. I wouldn't mind seeing more unique mission types like it. It's old but rare. Thoroughly enjoyable though, neh?

Honestly... 10/10 do want to use bare hands a lot more. Just get the Kogake or Obex. It's the same melee move set without a stance if I recall.

Sir_Alex_Traffo Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Farming Detron parts exactly a year ago I experienced this mission the first time. I'm glad you did too as it's a very cool addition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterUltimate Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 (edited) I was doing a solo mission when Zanuka came calling, and I thought, "What the Hek? Capture me." To be honest, that was the most fun I've ever had in Warframe. I wish there were more missions like that, where you start at a serious disadvantage, and have to think, sneak, and fight your way out of a bad situation.

Thunem Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 It seems they always seem to appear when I have very low weapons and warframes equipped. I would say I get captured 50% of the time due to that, haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tveeggad Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Just get the Kogake or Obex. It's the same melee move set without a stance if I recall. But that involves the use of a weapon. It's not unarmed enough! I'm a MAN! And I have my manly needs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashnal Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 But that involves the use of a weapon. It's not unarmed enough! I'm a MAN! And I have my manly needs! It practically IS unarmed though. It's like using a pair of brass knuckles. Same difference really. Besides it doesn't make sense to have an unarmed weapon for normal gameplay, since you wouldn't be able to mod it.

Technically, the term "space ninjas" would support the idea of completely unarmed combat considering a traditional ninja's excellence in martial arts blah blah blah It's simply too badass to not have. Also, you can't mod your fists? I mod my fists every day. No problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lirka. Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 I wish there were hardcore stalkers and zanukas, just so this could happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiegraf Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 It's very interesting especially because it's unexpected. You're totally not expecting an invading boss to do much other than put you down... then they come over and take you away. Cue loading... cue "WTF is going on?"... cue epic escape. It was added around the same time the Alad V / Zanuka boss was put into the game. A lot of people willingly let themselves be captured to see what would happen, some even wondering if you'd lose your Warframe if you failed to escape (thankfully, it wasn't the case else I bet it would have been an uproar). But yeah, not many games... or rather, free to play games put that much emphasis on negative consequences scripted into an actual feature like that. Same could be said of the Grustrag 3 who have their own little trick to play if you're downed and they get to you... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berserkerkitten Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Whoa! I've never been "harvested", so I had no idea. Thanks for sharing! o_ONow we can be slowpokes together! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashnal Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 We can mod our Kubrows, why not our fists? It would need to have its own "weapon" in the game UI with no art when equipped. I don't see why its necessary when we already have stuff that that is functionally identical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
