Yup. I regularly give away bundles of Veiled Rivens at a time, simply because I have absolutely no interest in actually doing the challenge.

Killing 5 enemies as the drop from a dropship while in bleedout state? That seems surreal. Please provide a link, I'm genuinely curious. Io- Jupiter. Wait for the drop ship to come in and be in a multiplayer game setting. Otherwise, you'll just instant die. Bring a self damage weapon with you and have an AOE heavy secondary that you can use. When the drop ship starts to come in, down yourself with your self damage and get to killing the units on the ship before they drop. Rinse and repeat until done. But yeah, this one honestly needs to go since it's heavily luck based in that you have to HOPE that you find a willing party that's going to humor these antics. Quote Solo an Interception? Huh. I didn't realize just how much I don't want this Riven until now. Booben max range and dur build with his infinite vortex mod. Go to Xini and just stack a boat load of vortex time up at each point for the entire round. Bullet jump around to keep your self entertained until you get the win. Anyone else got any they want me to tell you how to cheese mode them? Edited August 5, 2018 by Cortanis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of these challenges are just unenjoyable. Like, read your instructions for cheesing the Riven again, tell me how boring that sounds. I'm not wasting what little time I play the game for performing asinine tasks for a good chance at a Riven I don't care for, and I know Mag won't either.

Harrock86 Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Riven with any "POE challenge" is an instant sell to me. Chasing birds in plains for a tonkor riven ? No thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the riven challenges are anything but challenges. Almost all of them are really an exercise in patience with a buggy system or just plain time sink. I have never in any part of the rivens thought they were challenging or really intended to be ether. It seems more like they are just ideas they had to come up with to fill the void.

Buttaface Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 The fish-mine-kill an enemy is the only one that has ever remotely annoyed me, and that one took maybe 30 min... for someone who had never done any fishing prior. It's just something else to do in the game, if you don't like it, don't do it and take the easy 20-80p from trade chat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't bother me if that happened. For me the fun of figuring out and doing the challenges is more enjoyable than the prize of the unlicked riven. I guess it's a case of the journey being better than the destination type of thing. That said, some of the Plains ones are kinda wack. 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still fun, still taxing but no one gets shanked with a Witchblade. Some of the Riven challenges, someone gets shanked and I'm just not down with that.

Cloudyvisage Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Most rivens are just an internet search away, i.e get three headshot kills in one aimglide, could be annoying if you try it manually but someone informs you of a Limbo trick, of the lift vents on jupiter and other things of the like. Sell them unveiled if you really don't like the challenge, someone else will happily do it, anything to drive down the Riven market's ridiculous nature, flooding the marketplace clearly hasn't worked much in dropping prices. Plains Rivens can be terrible if you don't have a whole lot of resources at your disposal, weapon and warframe-wise, DE has removed Riven challenges in the past that were atrocious, such as the aforementioned bleedout dropship kill, though I personally didn't find that offensive, just blow up yourself then the dropship with a halfway decent weapon and that's 3 minimum. Once more and done. Life finds a way. Give it to someone who wants it and they'll open it, the frustration goes away after you open them after all. Unless you're a stick in the mud that hates a bunch of weapons, I got a Heat Dagger one, looked through my foundry, saw I still had a BP lying around, built it up and now I have a 2 Forma Heat Dagger that can kill sortie level enemies (W/o Covert Lethality) no problem, fun stuff. Had to kill three airborne Condrocs in 5 seconds, not too hard once I finally got my Nova out but annoying before then as they are apparently immune to some auto targeting abilities and many AoE's.

Depends, am I Frodo? I'll let myself get stabbed with it if I am. It's not like Sam actually needs me in the story. Better to take the hit instead of someone more useful. 4 minutes ago, Cloudyvisage said: the frustration goes away after you open them after all That's just it, it's ''frustration''.
