protea. an extremely hard complaint to write.

[Herozen]

don't get me wrong, the hard part was not complaining, it was writing this WITHOUT swearing my butt off, but i'll try my best.

who chose the drop chances for protea's parts? please, reveal them to me, i will force their face into the dirt and beat them publicly with a fish for their crimes against humanity.

seriously, i have been running a mix of protea runs and murmur farms for a solid WEEK (don't judge me you're stuck at home too.) wtih NO protea part drops. i farmed NIDUS faster than this.
i have farmed 3 liches in that time over 600 platinum, 3 sets of requiem mods and also helped a new guy farm his way from earth to ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ JUPITER. AND IN ALL THAT TIME. not 1, ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. part.

do you enjoy the suffering of the innocent and myself? do you sustain yourself off the tears of children? do you regularly eat salt and viniger crisps? do you secretly support lootbox mechanics? are you actually canadian? because from what i've seen, you are secretly nightmare demons hellbent on causing mine and the f2p population untold amounts of greif.

this will not stand any longer! if this continues i will be forced into using the ultimate weapon of saying "please" which you, as canadians, will be unable to resist, thus rendering you powerless against my words of several letters.

choose your next actions wisely DE, cause i'm running on 2 hours of sleep and enough caffine to power a small battle fleet of spacecraft, so i will not hesitate on going through with my threat!

Please do not hesitate to peruse the recruiting channel in game for gathering a squad of like-minded tenno for more runs of the Protea Grind Gauntlet.

You need to do Granum Void to get the parts and they're fairly common tbh. Have you done Granum Void? It doesn't matter what else you do, you need to do Granum Void to get the parts.

did you two miss the part where i said i had been running protea farming sessions for a WEEK STRAIGHT? i've literally run 20 missions THIS MORNING ALONE WITH A FULL SQUAD. and not 1 part. 20

20. RUNS!

THATS AS MANY AS TWO 10'S!

[Spartykins]

dunno, I was lucky enough to get a drop and idk how

truthfully the system should have a check to where it forces these kinda things after like 100 runs with no drop

20 runs takes like an hour and a half. Have you ever tried farming khora? If you farmed 600 platinum you could've just bought protea at that point.

11.11% chance to drop, according to wiki. The parts also drop in separate places.

I don't think she's a bad farm. The melee weapon you get can easily carry you solo doing those missions, with only the last part being a little tricky (since you aren't going to one shot without a full charge).

Wiki also says: 9 – 10 C Rotations and 59 ± 20 C Rotations, for expected runs and nearly guaranteed runs (99.9/99.99%) respectively.

I think you are getting pretty unlucky, which obviously does suck. If lots of people are getting unlucky, I wonder if there might be some bug with the drop rate.

At any rate, welcome to Warfarm. xd

[Herozen]

ok can people stop treating me like i don't know anything about farming in this game. i know where tf to farm her parts and i know the ratios despite them clearly being lower on my end, i know i need to go into the void missions on corpus ship tilesets and give the coin to the infinity gauntlet and kill x amount of enemies before the time runs out. i'm MR twenty freiking one, i know how grindy this game is, just look at my profile, im coming up to 2k hours in this grindfest and recently passed login 365. i know the game i'm playing you mashed potatos. all my frames were grinded by hand and while yes i COULD just buy her, i don't want to give in for 1 frame.

yeah, 20 runs, this morning. i've been farming these runs for a week now with no drops. and yes, i have farmed khora, probably twice now.

And yet khora has worse drop chances and it takes much, much longer to even get to the point where you can drop 2 of her parts.

bad luck buddy, got it all in a day after figuring out Octavia was the way to go for it

I was actually poking at your use of national stereotyping of canadians, by stating the obvious and saying "please".
Chill, get some sleep, then decide if you want to have another go at the grind. ;)

Definitely bad luck.

Should go and make a sacrifice of all your Khora parts to RNGesus cause you seriously pissed him off. Literally only took me a run each for the Systems and Chassis, with the Neuroptics taking five. Hell it took me longer to farm the Blueprints for those new guns from Jackal then it did to get Protea.

[No_Quarter]

Part drop chance too high - DE can we get anything else please!!!!!

Part drop chance lower - BRING IT HIGHER!!!!

can't please them all, tho in all honest apart from 6k MR Protea is meh

[Draykoss]

lets use that 600 platinum to assist, shall we?
