LuxNihil Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Okay, this is complete garbage and shows how terrible RNG is as a system. I have been playing literally since the hotfix for the Natah quest happened and after 10+ hours of playing, endless Tyl Regor runs and obtaining every part of the Equinox set, I still haven't gotten the drone for this new quest. Seriously DE, this is a total failure and i'm prepared to leave the game I have dropped OVER $700 DOLLARS IN US CURRENCY IN since the time I've been playing.

_Rue_ Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Has your screen flickered? If it has, you need to seek the drone. Think, synthesis. It flickered once but i pushed through with the mission. No quest. The next time it flickered i looked for it, scanned it and got it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir_Alex_Traffo Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 can you please calm down when u see a drone try to scan it be fast. GoodluckI'm over 50 runs too and no drone, no flickering lights, nothing. RNG means you may never see the drone, it should NEVER be involved into a quest.

RNG means you may never see the drone, it should NEVER be involved into a quest. I'm sure there's a failsafe in place that stops that from happenning. No need to be so dramatic.

Rakosta_Kai Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 I'm sure there's a failsafe in place that stops that from happenning. No need to be so dramatic. It seems like you have roughly the same chance at getting the quest that you would seeing Stalker. Lore should not be locked by RNG. That's especially true in Warframe given the amount of actual lore available in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's especially true in Warframe given the amount of actual lore available in it. The way I see it - we should just play the game until the Sentient arrives organically. So... why not just do that?

Sir_Alex_Traffo Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 well i did uranus - titania boss fight didnt had any problem It's good for you man, since it's RNG you could find one on first run or never meet it, being locked out the quest. I think something that increase spawn chances depending on the number of runs you're doing would be fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirSmite Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Eh, after 20 or so missions, still no luck. It wouldn't be as bad if they made it so that it was more likely to pop the more missions you do, but I guess I have to pray to RNGesus once again. I don't even care about whatever it is you get from finishing the quest. I just want to do it... for the quest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteDagger Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Well i already had 2 encounters even after completing the quest, I have to say it worth it but yeah the RNG spawn is still stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)BornThisWay41 Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 So you're going to quit the game because you can't do a quest? Ok, bye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuxNihil Posted August 1, 2015 Author Share Posted August 1, 2015 I've even had two syndicate and a zanuka encountered in all that time (when I went to sechura, and apparently it can even spawn there) and I've still gotten no spawn. This is just flat out garbage, and they need to fix it soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dioxety Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Soloing the Tyl Regor boss battle Spawns it almost every time. SOLO. ONLY SOLO. I Solo'd him quite a few times and the drone spawned every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuxNihil Posted August 1, 2015 Author Share Posted August 1, 2015 I solo'd him more than once and he never spawned. RNG is a trash system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farris Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 (edited) Soloing the Tyl Regor boss battle Spawns it almost every time. SOLO. ONLY SOLO. I Solo'd him quite a few times and the drone spawned every time. My (and many others) results beg to differ ;) That would mean that the conclusion is that, the trigger is completely RNG, there's no "if_X_missions_played=increase_spawnchance_Y%" or "if_solo=increase_spawnchance_Y%" Edited August 1, 2015 by Farris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhisperByte Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 You can try asking in recruitment chat for someone who's doing the first Natah mission to take you along. Also equip Helios and some (like a 100 or so just in case) REGULAR codex scanners (Helios can't' use Simaris scanners). The first mission has 2 guaranteed drone spawns and they start the quest for you if you haven't started it yet. Also for those of you who got lucky with the drone spawn but haven't done the first mission: help fellow Tenno out an spread the quest to other unlucky people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slepnir Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 This is total trash, I've done a few solo missions now, just going in and out of earth and mars and such, but still no Drone, does DE even care? I think it spawns better on uranus, so try the tyl regor fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aoguro Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 (edited) Has your screen flickered? If it has, you need to seek the drone. Think, synthesis.

The next time it flickered i looked for it, scanned it and got it. thx, thought im somehow tired from my real work or smth good to know, thx for sharing and claryfying btw, isnt there also a bit a strange sound ? .... But really though. Throw on helios and let him scan yours or someone elses smurf drone thingy and voila! that will be my next step - HELIOS !

S.T.M.P.D Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 1. Steve says the more underwater missions you do the more likely you are to find it. 2. I think the idea behind it was that you didn't actively seek out the drone: you'd play the game as you always did, then you stumbled across this drone, freaked out, then were shunted into a quest. Unfortunately the mentality the devs want out of us - players - is not the one we have - grinders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patrizl001 Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 (edited) after tons of runs I found it and scanned it. then tyl regor's manics killed me, and i didn't get the quest..... EDIT: proof Edited August 1, 2015 by patrizl001 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
