Ines drop rate - 70% of Ines-es currently in game are $ bought
The drop rate is a joke. Worse than Keelan and Doge on release.
Also either they buffed the boss or the remaining playerbase is tragic - rarely can hit 4 boxes with Randoms - they SKIP beacons, 90% of them come with fresh descendants that do 0 damage or bring in descendants that are horrible in this game (or any) game mode - such as Lepic, who is (and in my opinion- always) useless in this game mode, or Hailey, who dies instantly cos no one bothers to build defenses on CHARACTER that becomes STATIONERY while doing their maximum DPS.
Also the mandatory TRASH BEAM WEAPON MECHANIC with VOLTIA is ....

The dev team , if they want to salvage this AI slop needs to implement some harsh reality checks (aka GEAR checks)

- Void Vessel/Hard Mode Colossi/Hard mode Infiltrations/Invasions
- HARD check for HP/DEF/SHIELD/RESISTANCE modules - if you don't have them, cant play the content
- Expand the MODULE SLOTS for DESCENDANTS with 4 or 6 MORE slots to accomodate STACKING DEFENSIVE STATS

S3 and SUNSET.

I got Ines in like 1 hour farming void vessel solo as Bnnuy.
If you do void vessel in public - just expect to carry 3 newbs, which is not hard if you have proper build.

Iness dropped for me in about 3 days. Her skill module, however, continues to elude me.

Keelan, OTOH, has been a real pain. Still missing a stabilizer or something and everytime I wack the boss... on normal... I get money.

I've played with a lot of folks grinding Ines on the Kuiper map, and the great majority of them do fine. For me, the great challenge of Ines was learning how to hit the Z button without looking at my keyboard. That causes folks to stop completely because they have to look. It takes practice to use her most powerful skill while moving. I'm still not there yet, for example.

So stop with the elitist chatter. Sometimes you get a good team, sometimes you don't. That is Coop. No need for checks of any kind. I can do a 400% dungeon solo even without her skill module with Ines. but wow, is that boring.
Most of my voidship teams were pretty good.
Occasional death expected as the guy has a nasty shotgun that can shot one 17k Def and HP. If you land in front of it, you are probably dead.
At any rate, using the Targeted Farm system, it was quick to get Ines.
I first of all Targeted Ines Code, as that was probably the hardest,
and this was advice for getting the Doggo originally.

THe other bits fell into place quickly, and I got the final blueprint as I was
farming her Neuromorphic ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.
This is much easier than Ult Sharen or Valby, or Gley I guess, IMHO

While I do agree that public content should have gear checks, you're acting like an adult baby throwing a tantrum lol. There's an easy way to find out who's the problem in Void Vessel, do it private. If you can clear it easy then you've been carrying people, if you can't then you've been carried.

Ines was super quick for me at least so I dunno about those statistics. I was able to get her, Keelan, the dog and max dog level within the 50 runs needed for the season.

Maybe I'm just super lucky but I got Ines hilariously quickly. It was probably about 2 to 2 1/2 hours of grinding Void Vessel. Compare that to the week and a half of doing Invasions to get Hailey unlocked.

Correct

Ines farm was pretty easy, and I was one of the ones with the Keelan bug that prevented target farming her when she first dropped.

And judging by how much the Ines population exploded a few days after the patch dropped, I doubt 70% were store bought. If you really believe that many both bought her AND all the cosmetics for her I see running around, it makes the 'S3 and Sunset' line pretty stupid. You think this patch was a huge financial success AND you think the game is doomed after next season. Sure, buddy.

For me, one of the fun things about Coop is that someone is going to get dropped, including myself. The AI is pretty good nowadays about covering folks on the ground, so many times it is a team effort to revive. That is one of the challenges of Coop and helps to add spice to my games.

Of course, every now and then, you have a person who doesn't know what they are doing or has a brand new toon with very weak skills, and dies too many times and you lose the game. I feel disappointed when that happens, but I'm sure the guy who did all the dying feels worse.
got all her parts in 1st day in 30 minutes...
i got her in 2 hours of solo farming,what a you saying?))
Could you please cite the sources from which you derived this information?
Farming Ines dd not take long at all. Set part i was going for for target reward (9% progress per run total 12 runs if you don't get as a drop) I usually got it within 5 or 6 runs so never hit the pity drop on any part. It took longer just to farm the 60 parts from the broken boxes than it did to get her blueprints. I think currently my Ines has 15 catalysts in her and farms stage 20 of erosion purge.

Lolz , I used the pity system to get my last drop . Funny thing is I have enough nwo to make another 2 more ines , I am waiting for the ETA vendor to dump it
Well, the parts are as usual rng, although it seemed far more lenient than Keelan or the doggo were when season began (i got all Ines parts by the second day).

I did like a lot that for the neuro component you only need to farm broken chests if you want to, that really sped up things.

I still need to get the feel when using her, especially vs Defiler. I can already down the boss with her solo, but i gotta min-max a bit more i think, i still do it faster with Bunny. I do get a crapton of dmg with slayer set at least. I may need another reactor, current one has decent bonuses but no colossi dmg >_>
