Riven not unlocking?

[Jon.Topps]

Level 30+ defense mission, object can't take damage, while wearing a Decaying Dragon Key.
I do Hydron with Limbo. It never said failed, even the moment before I extracted.
I definitely had the key on.

Read online about other problems people are having, and none of the issues apply to me, so I'm confused. What could I possibly be doing wrong?

I know it's a stupid question, but did you remember to equip the Riven mod on an appropriate weapon and bring said weapon with you? You say it never said you failed, did it bring up the challenge reminder at all?

Either way, did you try it solo? I think I may have heard of riven challenges being a bit buggy and not always displaying a mention of solo.

The last few times someone posted a similar issue it was either them accidentally not having the riven installed in the weapon they brought into the mission or them having put the incorrect dragon key on accidentally.

I usually do all the 30+ defense no damage missions on eris akkad. Running against infested is just easier for me. Less chance of them hiding outside of cataclysm or getting lucky shots in when you refresh stasis or cataclysm.

ummmm.... why not play infested defense with some 4 spamming warframe? A lot of those problems you saw include Limbo, I tried him and for some reason it did not work, I use high efficiency Frost, I go to Eris defense and unless random syndicate shows up I unveil a riven.

equip a riven, equip a dragon key, spam 4 for 5 minutes and you are done

Done these solo with Limbo every time. Its the easiest way. Max out range and dura. You get insanely big bubble with long stasis. Then just kill with a decent weapon and/or use spectres to make sure nobody gets through.

arguable, spamming 4 with a warframe that does a nuke is faster a does not require any aiming to kill enemies. Ofc Limbo nuke can work on low levels too, bu tI hardly see him being easiest as there are many candidates to cheese this challenge

Its for the No-Dmg part. Specially for those who dont have a strong nuke frame.
As its just one bullet hit and you fail. Stasis+bubble works good. Also its a good idea to do infested mission,as there's about no bullets at all flying.
Works perfect for those 30+ lvl missions. Not just low level missions. Or dunno what you consider now even low.
Not the only way to do it.
No point to argue about it, why do you want to? Granted, saying "easiest" apparently triggered you to argue about it, but thats how i found it to be despite having strong nuke frames in my choices too.

Yeah it showed the challenge, and it was definitely on my weapon. Pressing start would show it. And no I did it pub.

Brought the correct key, made sure multiple times. I'll try Akkad later though, thanks.
I'll also try just bringing Ember or something.

Thanks everyone, lame that this stuff is so buggy...

[Jon.Topps]

WOW this system is buggy!

I did Akkad pub as Ember, nothing ever touched the object. It never said failed (I checked). Didn't pop.

I played Akkad again as Ember in pub, we were doing fine, then a syndicate spawned ON TOP OF the stupid thing, which damaged it. I saw the shields going back up and thought "ahhh failed", but I checked, and it did NOT say failed on the riven...
Then, on this same mission, when I finished, it popped up saying it was unveiled!
However, I go into my mods, and it is NOT unveiled...

I have no idea what I'm doing, lol

EDIT: End of wave five, disruptor grabs me, then pokes object.
End of wave five AGAIN, kill everything, doesn't say done... why? Stalker comes in, and pokes object...

EDIT 2: EVERY STUPID MISSION, the Perrin attack, the Stalker, Arlo's goons, etc. EVERY MISSION.........

[kingjames488]

it seems like at some point they changed those "complete a levl30+ xxxx mission with xxxx" to all require you to do them solo, I've had to do them all solo for them to unlock...

probably to prevent people just standing around while the team wins it like it says to do on the wiki lol.

i tried that riven type a few times solo.....used a frost and a limbo and found one enemy would most of the time hit the shield....1 point on the shield meant failure

Also it detects at the very end.....on some defense missions...and not at the end of the mission.....so if you are still seeing enemies running to the pod....as you are frozen unable to do anything.....that could be the reason for the fail.

Also some riven also require solo.....if you had another player there....then you would fail right off.

for me i had only been successful when i played with another player...once when the other person was a limbo and i did ember and another time them showing me banshee and again i was playing an ember. Both times though.....enemies got either through the limbo shield and seamed to ignore it or just plain where not effected by the banshee and their big damage thing.
ie if i had not been there with ember doing world on fire the enemies would have done damage i am sure.
