---RV---Maniac Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Also another thing to add to the list. -Only the player that kills the birds gets the pigments. I did groups and even with nekros, I can seem to have them drop pigments for me if someone else kills them. Adding a pigment for the clan that cant be farmed as a team and has to be farmed solo instead of with clan mates is just 10/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why increase 1 thing to then decrease the other and pretty much cancel each other out? They do seem to drop more now if you stand around longer since the droping chance seems to be better increase than the ammount pickup decrease but it is still silly its actually much better than you think, due to reliability. it reduces those bs streaks of badluck (or good luck). its better definitely better off like this, but i agree the overall drop rate needs an actual increase anyway.

True, I got almost double it seems compared to before. The fact that is more often to drop also causes less frustration for when you are farming, nothing worse than killing several of them and geting nothing for it.

I did a full lap around the outside edge of the map. 10 pigments was all i got. that is all i ever get for each trip out. There is still something seriously wrong.

There is still something seriously wrong. thats not really the most efficient way though, around the big lake is the best from the cetus entry then go across the lake back and forth seems better. Although I still say, this is still not enough Edited June 2, 2018 by ---RV---Maniac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saavedro Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 I just want to chime in that this farm is awful. I have spent hours circling the plains and its lakes and have only gathered maybe 60 pigments (no boosters). I've also noticed the condrocs flying around never drop pigments.

Ragingwasabi Posted June 6, 2018 Author Share Posted June 6, 2018 has any one checked if the guaranteed-spawn/flying condrocs can drop pigments yet (im currently researching another pigment)? Or did @[DE]Drew forget lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ragingwasabi Posted June 7, 2018 Author Share Posted June 7, 2018 @[DE]Drew i think i found more proof that it is in fact the spawn type and not the flight status of the condrocs that affects their loot drops. this is another post by some one else earlier this year talking about the condrocs with predetermined spawns not working for the riven challenges. so pigments dont drop, and they dont count towards rivens either... this really needs to be fixed.

(PSN)Steelergurl33 Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Know the drop rate is ridiculously low but just curious if since the recent hotfix Rofue Condroc Tower White was messed with? Been running non stop on plains(day), been killing em and not 1 single pigment had dropped in 6+ day cycles. I'm all for a good grind but gotta have at least 1 drop to keep the hope up..

(XBOX)R3d P01nt Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Please buff the pigment drop rate. These aren't even enemies. It's not like we are playing missions when we get this pigment. It's a fetch chore not connected to running missions. If we try to farm it passively, we'll never get it with drop rates like these. This pigment and drop rate only serve to keep us from actually playing the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(XBOX)Rainbluefire Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 On Xbox the condroc spawns are broken so we can't get the tower white pigment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)Oracle-Raven Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Been farming Condrocs for hours. Only 1 of them dropped Tower White pigment. What the actual living hell is this, and why are the Plains of Eidolon so sadistically barren? Should have been called the Desert of Stinginess.

tucker_d_dawg Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 I'll be content on console to never farm condroc white. Maybe I'll turn it on when all the other colors are done and passively farm it for the next four years. Or not even bother turning it on. On XB the enemy spawn rate (ALL enemies - kuaka, condroc, grineer camps etc) is a fraction of what it is on PC. For example on PC on an Eidolon hunt I can go to each camp and every one will be occupied with a lure. On XB, I'm lucky if 1/2 the camps ever spawn an enemy, sometimes can get lucky by approaching, then leaving, then coming back a few times and force them to spawn but often even that doesn't work. The same is true for every riven challenge I've had that involved wildlife - PC was a breeze by comparison to XB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirathyl Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Been working on white for 3 days and not a single pigment drop. If it's like any other pigment they should almost always be dropping at least one. I know for a tad bit they were broken and wouldn't drop at all when the new colors were added but that was supposedly fixed. I bet it broke again since Black I got without even trying for my clan....white is infuriatingly difficult for no reason. Literally every other pigment doesn't have this issue, so it can't be them flying causing issues since dragyn's normally are already flying along with their pilots. I hope they actually fix it this time, and the stupid fishing water bug came back so I'm fairly certain they just broke the drops again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Console spawns are identical to PC there's no difference it's literally down to rng to further to just show been running around plenty of times with no spawns and I AM a PC player. Not sure where you guys keep getting that info from but spawns are identical between platforms for content that is shared with a few cases that aren't that but in those you guys get more spawns then PC does. Have a few console friends who can even say that lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Note I am specifically referring to XB console as I can't speak to PS (and unlike you am unwilling to speak to something I don't know) PoE camps spawns are not the same - very noticeable.

Any case, De hasnt said anything about pigments so far and it's still horrible. Currently doing Devar Grey which drops from Tusk Mortar Bombard, which aside from the nox seems to be the enemy unit of the grinneer with the lowest spawn rates. I need 40k pigments for them, bounty lvl 5 seem to be the best for spawns, specially on nights. I get on average 20 pigments per bounty (alot of times 0 which is frustrating) with both boosters on and farming with a cat and using a nekros. So this means my clan has to do 2000 bounties to get the pigment done, average bounty lasts a bit over 10 minutes.Meaning my clan has to spend 20 000 minutes or about 333 hours doing bounties. This is assuming each bounty only lasts 10 mins (they usually last longer), this is not counting loading screens, possible crashes and assuming your running the best setup with spending plat on boosters and using cat and nekros for best efficiency. Your also running solo, cause running with clan mates or with people doing the same research will mean they will steal pigments for themselfs since it's apparently a thing, pigments only drop for 1 person. Amazing feature right there in a coop game. Made a detail post here. Detailing some more issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
