Scan ALL tha plants. last time I tried that it didn't scan any of the plants (already done the required codex amount) or they didn't register at the end of the level Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Warframe experience feels invigorated. Tbh, scanning the Dusklight Sacerenna's and Lunar Pitchers lead me to many rooms on Ceres and Lua which I would've never found otherwise. Most people don't realize that tilesets actually have a lot of bits and bobs we usually miss as we speed run through it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scanning plants isn't even that hard, I consider this a step in the right direction for acquiring certain mods. I would consider it a step in the right direction if scanning the plants wasn't so tedious and grindy. And I say this as someone who had all the earth plants left over from the Cicero event, so the grind is even worse for new players. And the auras aren't even that good.

Or just run an exterminate on a low level asteroid with an Ember or any other frame with wide-range nuke abilities and, you don't have to do a thing except collect energy. So you can easily look for all the moss. It literally took me... 10m? Max? to find all the moss. Probably a lot less. Thanks, what map are you using?

kubbi Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Not a fan of it. I find scanning things just really boring. I cant be bothered to complete the codex as well. Anyone out there that likes scanning? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zanchak Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Id rather try and catch a not so often alert, than waste the few hours I get to play scanning plants (that dont show up for me) and trying to balance warframes night/day with my own timezone and game times. It is tedious and not rewarding. All it rewards is people who have hours to waste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zendadaist Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 I'm deeply skeptical. We farmed apothic and killed 7 of the Knaves in a row. Got 7 Pistol Amps. Meh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hesyol Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Well they can increase drop rates if they want people to keep doing that mission... for some reason... even if it's stupid... And increase them at least 3 times please. Or yeah just change it to alert. Late in game there is almost nothing to farm in alerts anyway. So would be nice if they drop some items there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5HV3N Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Why, to keep you busy ofcourse. I made it and farmed all new auras. Took a lot of time. But running after those plants gave me some kind of enjoyment where I expected none. It was actually a nice change of pace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, it's worse than that. It's the first aura that actively harms you - and since it's an aura, it harms your entire squad as well. Who the hell thought that was a good idea?

Ya, I already had 70+ Jade sun/moon plants when the new plants were added. It was pretty obvious they were going to have a use again in the future. I never stopped scanning them every time I ran into them. I did notice however that their spawn rate has been increased. Before this, they were truly rare but now they are uncommon. The sunlight and threshcones I got hundreds of those. The thing about the plants if it annoys you, don't go farming missions only for the purpose of scanning plants. Just play the game like you do every time doing your thing. If you happen to be on a tile set that has the plants, scan them when you run into them. Memorize all their spawn locations and you're good to go. I already crafted 8 of each Apothic and it honestly didn't feel like a chore. Time went by quickly. Get the moss on Mercury missions (Elion, capture) where the enemies are no threat. If you know all the fixed spawn locations, you will get 10-15 moss each mission with the Cross-Matrix Widget on Synthesis scanner. Knowing the spawn locations drastically reduces search time. I wouldn't even call it searching, you enter the tile set, you know where they are right away, you scan, you move on doing whatever you came there to do on that mission in the first place. This takes like 5 seconds per room. Edited September 6, 2016 by MystMan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(XBOX)Skode Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Play Nekros for desecrate. Party up for multiple aura drops. Thats the general advice to lessen grind for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't like it, don't do it. That's just it though, I don't like it, I'm not doing it. If DE really want to give bored endgame players something to do (because more players = more money) they actually need to give us something that's interesting. If anyone says they find the plant scanning interesting then I'll laugh myself to death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sebrent Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 If you don't like it, don't do it. Wait for it to be tradeable and give platinum to those who aren't too busy complaining about having to scan plants. As said before, many of us were in the habit of scanning plants as we did missions. Heck, when waiting on party members to finish up their part of a spy / fissure / etc. mission, I scan plants ... same for lulls in excavation early on. It takes a few seconds and is stupid easy. If people consider it a grind, then they need to go actually compare it to the stuff many of us have done in past games (especially MMOs ... even more Korean MMOs). Heck, go look at modern games like Ark Survival and babysit a max level TRex (or one of the bigger dinos) while you tame it for hours ... and that's after all the time to get the materials to perform that tame. That is an actual grind. This is nothing in comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
