Excavation and cryotic farming is ♥♥♥♥ing annoying

[Nobody]

Tey need to boost the amount of cryotic thatyou earn per excavator, the biggest problem with cryotic is the same as nitain, that is so incredibly rare since you have to get it from one specific and unique point in the entire game, and that you are expected to have plenty of it just lying around and it wouldn't be so bad if they were atleast was somewhat affected by boosters or you could buy it, but since you can't even do any of that it makes it so much more annoying to get,


and the biggest problem that i always have with excavation since i started playing and TO THIS DAY they haven't fixed, is that for some reason most of the time the enemies will just absolutely never spawn, and i am convinced that this is on purpose one because again, they haven't fixed it, and 2 because this is the one only game mode that require a specific type of enemy(that might i add is also incredibly rare to spawn) to be able to continue the mission.
and i can'tdo anything about it since one, if i just stand there waiting enemies will absolutely never show up and if i leave, THEY WILL JUST CONVINIENTLY SPAWN RIGHT NEXT TO IT DESTROYING THE EXCAVATOR.

i get that this game is a huge grind, but the problem is that this isn't even a grind, its a pure waste of time and effort and only keeps me from even wanting to even play the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game since i can't even progress without eventually running into requiring to play the literal worst game mode in my opinion.

Look, i had to farm 5000 criotic for a trinity prime part (or 4000? i forgot how many it required) and it took me fron 8am to 1pm to farm all that criotic i just gave up and bought a booster it really needs to be reworked or atleast give us 350 per 2 excavators :(

Around about Jupiter Excavation missions get worse. It gets to the point that even if you do get energy-cell-carrying enemies spawning close enough to quickly grab and drop in the excavator, restoring it's shields, you can't kill enemies fast enough to keep the excavator from blowing up. Their damage output literally outstrips the shield restoration's mitigation. Abilities might buy you a wave or two, but you're not going to get enough energy to keep that up. At best you'll see 50-ish cryotic per excavator. Still a win-able mission, but does mean it drags on even more.

trinity prime need 9000 cryotic, not even joking, im trying to get her and its just retarded that someone thought that was a fair price for a frame that most people ignore and don't want to get

[Handoiron]

I've made 2 Sibears... once for MR fodder and again when I got a riven for it and wanted to try it out.

That's 2x 30k cryotic.

Earth Tikal with frost is a stupid easy excavation vs. infested.

Has a serious problem with the game that prevents him to get another frame

MUST BE A LIMBO MAIN

id also like to remind you that your joke has worn out since years ago

You mean Kiliken, the best way to farm Cryotic is to do long runs of low level excavations. Once my team scored 18 excavations before extracting, that's 1800 criotic in a single run.

For the people complaining excavation is hard on higher difficulties> stick with just earth you get the same cryotic as you would on pluto or invest in a gara, frost or limbo for defensive play. Other than that yes it's tedious but it's a great way to multi farm things: Such as relics, endo, (credits lol) and if you're in a fissure mission excavation provies, relic drops, cryotic, exp and excavated items.

It's tedious when you try to do it all at once, just wait till you start farming for the sibear (30000 cryotic) :))))))) I had fun with it it's a decent weapon too

Quite true, but one still has to go through these higher-difficulty Excavation missions at least once. Otherwise you stop progressing across the solar system. So, sure, farm on the inner planets, but you still have to suffer to keep going.

Dude, all what you have to do is defend one excavator and you are done, excavation is next to capture one of the fastest missions in the game.

Hireacon is best just for the additional rewards, and infested Excavation is a cakewalk.

[Czaczaczar]

I'm not sure what your mastery rank is but assuming you're a veteran, then the best place is Heiracon on Pluto. It's always packed of people farming relics. Most players do 20 excavations per run. If there's a Limbo, Khora or Gara then you can easily get carried beyond 20 excavations.

Um, no, the latter missions change the mission objective to a specific amount of cryotic to succeed. Last time I did an Excavation, I had to dig up 500 of it, no matter how many excavators I went through. It may be a recent change. When was the last time you did an outer-planet excavation?

Aren't you confusing nodes with alerts?

Agreed. Syndicate Mission, Sorties, and Alerts require a certain amount of Cryotic rather than 1 succesful rotation completion, unlike nodes.
