"You used to dream of old earth didn't you, bathed in gold and solemn blue, I intend to reclaim it now, from the spores and the ruin".

Saryn Prime, your time has come. We need you to do what you once did(?);

Rid Earth of the Infestation. 

 

So to the point:

How are you guys feeling about Plague Star?

Tbh I thought there was some form of "defence" in Plains (making sure the infested cant reach the gates). Though our Mask girl is offering some really great stuff. 

 

Ps. Is there any chance of increasing the difficulty?? 

(Haven't had time to play much today)

Pretty underwhelming for me my expectation are a bit high I thought it would be like when Tyranids invade a planet but I guess we have a few Infested here there and a single Boil that only spawn for my 1st run 50+ enemies.

 

edit: I thought i will see like thousands of infested on screen or even a hundred will be okay and the plains doesnt feel like its being invaded with infested.

Boring event is boring.

 

As Gamerluc put it, grab toxin, defend toxin, escort toxin, kill infested

 

EXCEPT

 

I have this awesome 5th and 6th step

 

Return to cetus, crash in hallway

 

And a 7th step

 

Smash face against wall at having to restart warframe after each run

Yeah rip, I'm not even going to bother doing the event until this is fixed...

Girl? Based on the voice it's more likely a boy, sure girls and boys sound similar pre-puberty, but I'm still pretty confident it's a boy.

Listen to the 'Dah-Dap, Tenno' greeting. No girls voice is at that low a pitch pre-puberty. 

Nakak also has a buzz cut, a generic male haircut.

After around 1 crash per each stage in the 10 bounties that i did, getting rep is hard, very hard as i sometimes can't join in time to receive the rep or i crash either when receiving the rep or while traveling to the next stage.

i have almost 5k points, enough to jump to the next rank, but it takes alot of effort and alot of loading, the next 10 days i will easily get over 100 crashes and sadly i just want to get this over with so i can get to playing sorties on decent graphical settings.

Regarding the ojectives, alot of pacing, alot of extremely long distances, forcing either archwing or inefficient traveling and a general lack of mechanical difficulty, creativity and improvement, it's simply to promote the new open world, but the event wasn't ready, plains aren't ready and everything feels rushed.

The rewards are nice and the grind is reasonable, but an event based on actual working content would be better.

Events are often used to advertise new game modes, like survival, defection or excavation, this one feels odd, it doesn't offer anything new asside from a local infested exterminate, feels lacking.

@DeMonkey Quote from the wiki: "Nakak is a young saleswoman of "Masks and Oddities" in Cetus" Also, many hairstyles in Warframe are not what people would consider normal, and even if they were buzzcuts are not rare in women these days. Also, it's entirely possible through micro-evolution, damage from environment or just lifestyle for someone's voice to be lowered, but again, it's not that low. I honestly thought Nakak was female.

Why am I debating this?? It's more interesting than watching myself crash in the Cetus tunnel :p

But yeah. I think Plague Star had a lot of potential and I'm hoping to come back tomorrow to some patches fixed. So far it's a li'l disappointing, especially after the fun times I had with the 2016 Haloween mission. Iunno. Maybe have a few different bounties available to deal with the boil, maybe run some more trails before going public. I'm not a developer so I always feel hesitant about criticising but we've got 12 days so I'm hoping there are some fixes and maybe additions as the scenario evolves.

Wiki is made by players, not DE. Whilst statistical information is generally factual, something like the gender of an arguably androgynous child is not something I'm going to trust the wiki on.

And what you say may be true, 'buzzcuts are not rare in women these days'. Thing is, if you're correct about Nakak being female, she's a girl. Not a woman. How many girls have you seen sporting buzz cuts?

As for the environment/lifestyle thing, listen to the Fisherwoman Hai Luk, that voice is piercing. If she's gotten by without a warped throat, I don't see why the child would be suffering.

In fact, the more I listen to the child talk about bars and pots, the more I'm convinced they're a boy, not a girl.

On topic though since I've yet to actually say anything yet, I'm bored. This event is a step backwards imo, PoE added variety to missions. You never knew (aside from the final mission) what you'd be facing. 
This event just takes a dump on that and makes you run the same 4 missions in a row over and over.

Yeah.. it isn't that great right now. I haven't had technical issues, but I am kind of underwhelmed. Plus, I was hoping for the proto weapons that they were teasing us with, what better thing for the ODDITY vendor to have. But we have fish guts, gems, forma, a couple of arcanes and about 4 or 5 zaw parts instead. Oh, and a couple mods. One of the zaw grips looks good, so I may go for that, but that'd be about it, sadly.

I hope the event does evolve halfway through and pleasantly surprises me. I am sorry for being so negative, but right now it just feels like a good opportunity that hasn't been taken full advantage of.

I have already nicknamed the whole ordeal as "Operation Failstar"

Tedious as it is like 90% Walking/Archwing Simulator and 10% super easy Combat ( even if using the Item from the Vendor ).

Then you receive your 2000 Reputation, repeat until you vomit ( which is usually around five times ) and ask why can't DE actually hold this off for another two weeks and make it engaging and fun? Where is the variation in the mission? It is literarily the same cave, with the same enemies at the exact same locations. The defend the toxin phase is just a Flak Cannon simulator as any decently modded weapon will kill the Trooptransporters easily.

For the rest who are smarter ( or luckier ) to use the drop pods, use an Ember and voilà. Then the "Run after a Drone, that isn't even attacked or threatened at all" afterwards like two minutes of killing infested cocoons and a few who made it out. ( Ember/Equinox time again )

Return to Cetus, rinse and repeat.

Sorry to say DE but this isn't an Operation, it is a stillbirth or to put it with some lyrics "You shot yourself in the foot again..."

Plauge star is crap tbh.

Everything is WAY to far apart (600-700 meter run. FUN! THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT WE WANT!!!), and the rewards are mediocre at best.

Honestly, a terribly thought out event, and very badly excecuted

Wow, you're getting them only 700m apart?  I've run it six times now, and I think *once* the objectives managed to spawn less than 1.2k away from each other.  It must have taken actual effort to make sure that all the potential objective locations were so far apart, to be honest.
