Hotfix made Protea near impossible to get.

[kenundrum]

You would get the Protea parts by doing the new void missions, and if you got enough kills you would get level 3 rewards, and a possible Protea part. I got the Chassis part before the hotfix, after many, many tries. The amount of kills was 75 to get to level three, before the hotfix. I tried for the neural part, but there were not enough enemies spawning, so I couldn't even get near 75 kills.
Now after the HOTFIX, the amount was at least doubled to 150. We got over 100 when time ran out, and we only got one level complete.

What is going on?

nah she's still easy, just annoying long due to rng trolling
except now you really HAVE to use one of the broken / boring nuke frames
bad idea / bad design, in a game full of op boring nuke stuff
people already played them too much because they were optimal
now they are *necessary* come on DE you can be smarter than that

Tbh? Yeah. I honestly want to use my Ivara more when I farm for Protea, but since I lack AoE weapons as a relative newbie, AoE frames are outright necessary for a faster clear time.

Sure, I can go with Ivara and pick up pyramids to clear it, but what's the merit of me doing so (and get shot at) while taking around 2 minutes while I can just throw 1 + 4 with Octavia and finish it within 1 minute.

If you are not getting those 75-100 kills with mesa within 30 seconds you haven't built mesa correctly. The melee weapon you need kills those specters in one hit no matter what level they are when you throw the weapon and detonate it.

The other thing is stick together, if only 1 is mesa and the other 2 are something else and can't kill good enough they are gonna drag down the spawn rates.

Has the drop rate for protea parts been bugged? Been trying since yesterday and haven't gotten a single part yet wtf

I ran Tier 1 50 times. Started running Tier 2 now. Ran Tier 3 about 20 times

[kenundrum]

I tried Mesa a number of times, can't do it. Revenant works, and I think I might try Octavia.

[kenundrum]

Revenant works good for the first two, but the Zenith one, there just are not enough specters.
Octavia is good for the first two as well. I don't know how to do the Zenith one.

[Demawil]

used volt for first two, and then mesa for zenith, now im just farming coins for those story parts, only if i find that room more often

[kenundrum]

I will try Mesa, but I could not win with her in the first two.

I mean, I was able to get all 3 parts solo with Wukong Prime and the new Glaive. Hell, I wasn't even benefiting too much from the mods on my Glaive and it alone was able to hard carry the farm, the Wuclone just got me started. Something that helps is to pick up those little pyramid things the specters sometimes drop, which will give you like... 3 extra seconds each? Obviously going out of your way to free the people trapped helps a lot too, as they give you a LOT of extra time to do it.

Lastly, I never encounter issues with the Specters spawning. Maybe you're just running around too much or something, maybe I just got lucky.

[kenundrum]

I never thought of Wukong.
With the first two coin voids, I just turn on Revenant and the kills rack up. I do nothing different for Zenith, but after about 20 kills, it stalls, and I would not get kills for long stretches of time. I didn't change my tactics. I don't know what is going on.
I will try some other frames, and see what happens.

[Biggie Cheese]

I was in games where we got over 1000 kills. That is not a typo. Volt built properly can get 200 kills without picking up a single timer. TBH im not 100% sure how the build works (I rarely touch volt) but I was told it was a eso build with the 4th ability.

[kenundrum]

I was able to do it solo with Octavia, using the Xoris (Probably a misspelling for the new Glave). Got over 150 once.
Playing with randoms, the specters just do not show up sometimes.

[Yuki]

I was in games where we had over 300 kills. In one minute.
Same players, same frames, same tier, 26 and thus also by far not enough time pyramids to keep going...

Its always a try and error, positioning now (since the hotfix) seems to sometimes trigger, often however even block certain spawns which results in highly unpredictable spawn rates that often enough aint enough to get 125 kills nor enough time pyramid drops.

A behavior thats worse when you play in a team obviously.
Something about that void is seriously broken since the hot"fix".

Before the hot"fix" we also never had any troubles reaching hundreds of kills. Its not about raising the limit, its that they ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up their spawn.

In the end we now found a spot by try and error that worked, even though it still ranged from barely enough to let it rain pyramids in the hundreds, without any changes to the team.
Apparently thats also depending on the spawn. If all spawn at one point you easily get into the hundreds semi afk, all spread out and you have to work for it.

And then there is the occasional "bug"? Or is it a "feature" again? Where 2-3/4 cant use any skills. Blocked as if you are in a nullifier bubble including the screen flicker when you try to use a skill (so not just the normal cant do anything bug that also still happens anyways).

[Curious Fox]

Honestly the hotfix made the void a heck lot easier for me. Just hop in, throw Octavia's 1 and 4 where you spawned. Go up to a mountain and watch the things just die. It rather hurts you if you try to move around a lot because I feel like things spawn relative to where you are.

Octavia literally does the same thing for Tier 1, 2, 3. Likely, you are doing something very wrong or have a wrong build to have so much trouble.

[kenundrum]

Yuki, I agree with what you said. When it was 75, in a random team of 4 we would routinely get 130 or more, but after the "hotfix" we often do not even reach 75.
