Scoring Edit:

Please note that a default run earns 1000 Operational Syndicate Standing.
Each used Infested Catalyst is worth and additional 250 (4 max).
Each used Eidolon Phylaxis is worth an additional 250 (4 max).

This means a Solo Player bringing 4 of each can earn 3000 independently, or a squad of 4 with one each can also earn 3000

So we can bring multiple score boosters. Good to know.

Infested Catalyst is so riddiculusly overpriced again... And we only have like  2 weeks to gather all resources > craft... Not everone enjoys just sitting on a Ghost clan or has people that played this game enough to max this outragous focus trees, aye?

this event has by far the worst rewards so far.

snipetron hasnt been revisited and is still a joke.

Snipetron actually was revisited when all the other snipers were. It's just not supposed to be good. It's just really rare MR fodder. That's all it's ever been. Frankly it's amazing the Lanka (the gun that replaced it when it was initially removed) isn't also such complete garbage statistically.

The silent majority doesn't care to have that kind of toxicity seeping in to every aspect of the game, be it chat, or forums. Or they don't care at all. How do I know this? The number of truly 'competitive clans' can pretty easily be measured just by looking at past leaderboards, and the membership of all those clans combined comes NOWHERE NEAR the rest of the player-base for this game.

[...]

The tools are all there. Stop expecting DE to spoon feed you your own special brand of fun. And stop expecting the silent majority to put up with the toxicity of the vocal minority.

I logged on JUST to upvote you and say thanks (+ a few other things). Literally took the words out of my mouth. The leaderboards are nothing more than entitlement and flaunting (as kindly as I can put it). I like how the only "--Q--" are not bragging nor taking the attention of everybody they come into contact with. Not gonna say who or when - but at least 5 members of that very clan I've ever met were nothing but toxic. I'm not gonna single them out either - any clan with a high player-count and (especially) a tag added to the player's name has that kind of attitude. It differs from person to person, whether it's a "know-it-all" or a "listen to me, for I am better" dialect - but it causes the very thing DE is trying to not let happen again. Toxicity.

But we'll never hear the end of how "Leaderboards are good because it gives us a reason to brag to others friendly competition between one another". Boy do I love being ranked off the leaderboards because some clan is determined the winner for spamming abilities and using meta weapons for hours on end. I guess me not wanting to sit in a mission for hours is deserving of me not winning a trophy, am I right? :smile:

Did you really have to make the event more running than doing? from one end of the plains ot the other, to a long drone escort, etc. Spending more time running between the objectives than actually doing the objectives, and a team can't even split up because you have to carry things around. Why not make the event no running around, getting missions done twice as fast, and halving the rewards. I'd rather do 20 missions than 10 missions and then the time equivalent of 10 missions running around the plains... or was this just to force people to use up archwing charges....

Brief, first-look feedback:

  1. The event is a nice way to expand PoE by including a new, but simple, storyline and opening up caves.
  2. Grindfest -> do the same bounty set over and over again to get standing.
    • There is no variety in any of the stages.
  3. Grindfest -> have to travel 1000-2000m to get from 1 bounty stage to another.
    • Yes, we have Archwing but that doesn't eliminate the fact that it's still 1-2 km between, which is significantly further than in normal bounties.
  4. The health of the mixing machine is low, especially for that location where there are many hazards: rockets being shot from far away, snipers from far away, and enemies from all around. The health and/or the armor of the mixing machine should be increased. A few seconds of melee strikes from the Grineer is enough to destroy it.
  5. The prices of the event rewards from Nakak seem reasonable for veterans but may be quite challenging for new players who have yet to secure a good amount of resources.
  6. Defense is pretty boring, so defending the mixer is boring as well. Players don't enjoy sitting at one location and waiting for the clock to tick down. They like to move around and do things. Thankfully, only 1 of the 4 bounty stages fits this description.

When will the focus updates come out? I currently have a ton of lenses, even an eidolon blueprint, but only one free zenurik lens. Should I use it right now and wait for the focus update to build the eidolon lens, or should I grind for more zenurik lenses and then build the eidolon lens before the update?

Also, will the greater lens blueprint ever be reduced in price or become reusable?

btw. is it intended that only the cave behind grineer base 3 is used as toxin dispenser?
for the very first 2 plague star bounties the geyser (sp?) lake base was selected and after that always the one between base 3 and the ocean?

 

edit: ignore that, after many runs now another cave was selected finally... so just rngesus/statistics messing with me, as usual :-P
edit2: or not!! as i am now getting constantly the mount doom cave between grineer camp 6 and map border... is the seed for the rng somehow not generated correctly... between the switching of the caves i did the sorties, so maybe you have do do another mission that is not plains to regenerate a new seed?
noticed that too with bounty rewards that no matter the reward rarity i often got the same reward in a row, for example same mod from uncommon table...

I'm glad that after weeks of event teasing, its actual contents are the exact same armored vault defense and drone escort from the mind-numbing bounties.

At least until tomorrow when we can start spawning.... A lephantis recolor? Just as well I'll be waiting I guess since it sounds like people are frequently having the last stage break on them.

Remember, you have a lot of new players with the plains (and the failure of Destiny 2 causing players to look for alternative games out there... which is how I found Warframe).

So yeah please just let us know what we need to know instead of making some reference to how you did it before becuase we don't have that reference.

at part 4/4 kill all enemys  isent possibel to finish some times becouse no enemys to kill to complet

I got the same issue as well. I kill all enemies, and then it seems to get into a loop where an infested spawn pod drops from the sky over and over again.

Thank god. If this was a "must bring 4 players per mission or you''ll be severely gimped" kind of event then I'd've been massively boned because the netcode refuses to let me join any Plains session. So thanks again for this particular option

Plains of Eidolon is on anything else than at a stable state. Releasing an event that is around something that isn't stable is limiting the mileage and enjoyment of the actual event. DE I'm sorry but this event was released at the wrong moment. You are doing some pretty poor decisions lately.

Operation: Plague Star is live until November 27th at 2 p.m ET!

 

OperationPlagueStar_Keyart.png

A new Operation is here. Play Operation: Plague Star next week!
   
Operation: Plague Star.
Rally your Squad and defend the Plains of Eidolon!

A mysterious meteorite has crashed just outside of Cetus revealing a horrific boil. The boil is growing and the Ostrons have sighted infested lifeforms emerging from it. We need to act now before they make their way to Cetus.

Konzu has received reports that Vay Hek possesses a toxin that can destroy the boil. But Vay Hek won’t help; he sees this infested boil as a means to rid the Plains of Cetus and the Ostrons.

We need to get ahold of the toxin and destroy the boil before it becomes unstoppable. Visit Konzu in Cetus to learn his plan for retrieving the toxin from Vay Hek.

    
    WHAT YOU NEED TO DO
    Konzu has a Plague Star Specific Bounty for you. Completing the series of Bounty Missions will earn you continued OPERATION STANDING to shop for all the Event Rewards! You should to speak to Konzu at Cetus to begin running the Plague Star Bounty!
    
    WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
    The Plague Star Bounty starts with enemies in the Medium difficulty range, but you can increase the stakes. The more Bounties you complete, the more standing you earn toward something new: Operation Syndicate! NAKAK, the oddities vendor, represents the OPERATIONAL SUPPLY Syndicate for Operation: Plague Star! The Rewards NAKAK holds to exchange for standing aren't just vanity - some allow you to increase the stakes to earn more!

        
    EVENT REWARDS!

There are no Leaderboards for this event, instead there are Terracotta, Bronze, Silver, and Gold Trophies to be built and earned as your Clan ascends through and builds new items! The 'Hemocyte Cystolith' is required for building. Equip the Infested Catalyst and slay the Hemocyte to gather these!

Scoring Edit:

Please note that a default run earns 1000 Operational Syndicate Standing.
Each used Infested Catalyst is worth and additional 250 (4 max).

No leaderboards? Really?? 

I lead a competitive clan and all we've been waiting for is something we can compete on, like an official event. Without Leaderboards, our options become VERY VERY limited. Huge disappointment.

Maybe join a game with actual competitive elements instead of pretending that spamming missions 24/7 is some sort of achievement?
