Luminous Dye Not working after update

[yingji]

Yeah fishing bait and dye and who-knows-what-else is totally broken.

[yingji]

Highly questionable if bait is even working either. That's when thrown bait doesn't just disappear.

Dye obviously completely broken as all cocks.

[MoonNigth]

the Luminos dye is not working oftenly

[Proslackernifty]

Dye is super broken.  I tried going back to cetus and returning to the plains to see if that would reset the dye, but it didn't work.  I had to restart the game to get dye to work, and it still breaks after one use.

[BlackSoulEternal]

having the same issue, it works sometimes then seems to stop working quickly while still showing its active

[ThunderKO_okie]

For me it does not work at all, I drop one and it just sits there laughing at me. I appreciate the attempt at making team fishing more efficient, but I severely hate the lack of testing to see if the attempted coding actually works and instead just being like: "here, here's an update, we don't know if it works or not, but we don't particularly care."  And the fact that this hasn't been fixed yet really worries me.

Same here. Murkray bait and dye wasted for nothing.

 

 

[Draveel]

Same issue. Dye functionality seems to be spotty at best.

The luminos dye worked the first time I used it, but after that -- nothing.   Here are two screen shots with the fish circled. I'm glad that I was in the ocean area where the water is clear. This will probably be a real pain at night in other areas though.

Luminos dye not working 1

Luminos dye not working 2

 

EDIT:  I left the Plains and exited the game. I went back in and, just as before, the Luminos Dye worked once. After that, nothing. Looks like it's not getting reset when subsequent dyes are thrown out.

I am seeing the same, sometimes it will work but other times not. Tried in both the ocean, a small pond, and the big central lake. About 2 of 6 tries worked correctly, once with a bait and once not.

since they have changed the way of using the dye, it is not working anymore.

Tested 10+ on 3 accounts

1. only lighted up on the first time, then stop working at all

2. simply not showing anything at all 

3. some place the dye just drop straight through to the bottom then out of  the map

 

so DO NOT WASTE  ANY OF YOUR DYE UNTIL IT IS FIXED!

As far as I can tell, Luminous Dye does nothing. Like others in the thread, checked with multiple bodies of water. You throw the dye into the water, it floats there, and... what? What's supposed to happen? Because I can't see anything different.

This is a bug, right?

Also: I read in the patch notes that dye and bait are supposed to share their effects party wide? That isn't working either. You can see your friend's baits or dye, but like goggles they do nothing.

[Kluuvien]

Same here

But when the person I am grouped with uses hers, it works (she is host, might be part of it but a lot of the posts here are solo so not the whole part)

 

Edit: Nm her's stopped working too

it seems Our warframe still have a short Range around self too. for example if you throw the dye in the water but your warframe still too far you won't see the fish glow. You then need to move closer just like the how the old dye work to see them.

if it is work as intended. i think it's kinda worse than how the previous dye work.

naw fam when it's bugging you get nothing at all, period, no matter how close anything (you or the dye) is to the fish.

[Lugwy]

The first dye tossed works perfectly. Afterwards, subsequent dyes do not work:

(there are plenty of fish burbling underneath all those floating dyes)

It seems that dyes do work again once an arbitrary amount of time has passed, but I haven't confirmed how long (definitely longer than two minutes/when the dye sinks). I left a previous fishing location to perform an incursion and returned to another fishing location, and tossing a dye worked.

Day 2 of the broken luminous dye. My fish reserves are holding up, but for how long? Clem fears he will not make it through the winter...

[Curtharv]

From 2 experiments i did the first dye will work, after it expires any already existing fish that have been marked with that dye will remain marked forever even after it expired, and also any new fish after that cannot be marked even by a new dye

[yingji]

First dye doesn't work reliably in the sea.

It's quite likely bait doesn't work either but difficult to test when dye doesn't work in the first place.

[yingji]

Dye doesn't work in the sea and likely bait doesn't either.
