He's a good boy he just has a lot of work to do if you haven't been scanning diligently yourself.
I dont know why, because I feel like I have followed everything to get it to start scanning, but my helios has not scanned a dang thing yet. It never seems to work. Its lazier than me.
This event is nothing more than a shiny excuse to put a time gate mechanic between when Hildryn is "released" and when Hildryn can be "acquired" in-game; a mechanic that no powerful & resourceful veteran nor the most diligent and time abundant player can bypass.
It is simply put the most black & white, most pure and sublime form of gating; I know why it exist and DE certainly know why it exist. You can defeat RNG, you can defeat time gating with a rush mechanic, but no one can ever defeat a physical time gap.
As with every new frame release, DE often like to try different release mechanics to test the player base, to cultivate a new avenue of data point gathering from the player base, and Hildryn is no exception.
I love and have supported DE in many areas of the game via prime access, slots, materials and cosmetics; but this kind of mechanic is not something I will ever support. The reality is, Warframe IS a F2P game and mechanics like this exists and will continue to exist, and I understand this is just another necessary evil, but that doesn't mean I have to like it.

Odd, you usually can't stop the little fella from spotting everything in sight. Mine is currently going mental whenever I pop Magus Lockdown as it wants to record all the mines. Do you have the Investigator mod on it, and do you have spare scanners in your inventory?
I am 99% sure I have investigator on it. And I know I have spare scanners. Is there a gear loadout for the Helios that I am not seeing where I need to load the scanners? Or are there special scanners? I believe for its weapon I have the Deconstructor (may be completely wrong). Is investigator mod one that just comes with Helios, or would that be one I need to find? That is the only thing I am questioning at this point. When I log back in tonight, I will post exactly what it looks like
Where is the Investigator precept slotted?
Sentinel AI is influenced by mod order, highest priority being the top left slot and decreasing as you move right and in the second row.
If Investigator is in the top left slot it pretty much scans everything all the time, if you put it in bottom right it's possible other precepts distract it from scanning.
Hmm. If I am remembering right, its in the top-left corner. Maybe I just need to unequip everything from it, and reequip everything to see if that does anything

They adjusted some enemy spawning and some objectives, also fixed some broken objectives.
They are, I have syndicate and regular scanners available
I'm officially out of ideas. Usually Helios is to scans what Manafort is to crimes. It fuckin loves them.
They're supposed to be regular missions at high levels with extra conditions to make things harder, but you can get some pretty broken builds at that level, and it can be really easy to have one player set up with a build so broken that the other players don't have much to do.
At it's core, they're no different than any other mission type. It changes every 24 hours (IIRC) and it's a set of 3 missions with specific conditions. The vast majority don't matter but there's a handful that can be pretty annoying (I hate Bow only). Some of the mission types also have other changes/requirements, the most notable being Spy missions which require all 3 vaults to be hacked or game over. I'll generally solo those since pugs can't be trusted to hack for shit.
Can read more about it here: https://warframe.fandom.com/wiki/Sortie
The wiki is amazing, it's been great reading through and getting caught up on everything I've missed.
This Buried Debts event is such a shit show, now DE had to take the progress off the game with a lame excuse cause the "community" event progress is rigged. LOL.

Am I crazy or are the Fortuna rift sealing quests really really hard to solo.
It says the enemies are level 45 but I swear I have had less trouble with enemies way higher than that.
My frost prime bubble gets blown up instantly.

I see Mike has done good work representing Warframe on that stream ;) Even if he only showed like 10% of everything, haha.
Warframe is great.

They said their estimates were a week and oh look, after a week they are completed. Not that there was any doubt but this really confirms that the event being a "community" one was an excuse to time-gate Hildryn. They could've hold on adding her to the market until the fight was available to everyone.
I think they'll keep trying to time-gate content from now on, not always but from time to time, after this event, I have no doubts.
Man DE hasn't pulled this kind of shit since the early days.
At least now they say when they're doing it, back then they'd just pretend they werent doing anything.
Ahh you were right. I didnt have investigator on. I though I did because I had ranked it up, and then just put in deconstruction. Now the little bugger wont stop scanning lol, hes going to bleed my credits
A really stupid question...what does scanning actually get you? I see the numbers but I don't understand it
I assume they would have left the numbers alone if people were actually participating and getting the scanning finished early or on time, but nobody cared so they had to cheat.
I think the problem is there wasn't really anything in-game to point to the scanning stuff, as far as where to go, what to look for, or even why to do it or what it had to do with anything.
Wasn't it all based on some ARG?

I believe some affinity and enough scans on a single target gives you a full codex entry.
Fully scanning a target allows you view its codex entry where you can see stats and drops, also allows you to spawn it in the simulacrum for testing purposes.

It's hard to know how they'll do since this is the first time they've ever hard timegated like this, and they usually advance the console versions multiple updates/fixes at a time. Usually the benefit to PC beta testing is to fix bugs. Like when the plains first came out the bounties barely even worked reliably and the the only dependable way to play as a group was to have one person go into the plains and everyone else join directly from the ship.

Is this another one of the big boss fights that don't make any sense without prior research?
I managed to figure it out when trying it solo (by accident. I thought it was just going to be a small cutscene, not a straight encounter), and I didn't find it too confusing, as long as you expect the now mandatory invincibility phases. There are plenty of prompts along the way on what to do as well.

Exploiter is much better than Profit Taker as a fight. No need to try and fiddle around with archguns or super special shielding. The first section inside Deck 12 kind of sucks because they don't add waypoints for where the canisters are, but the rest of it is great. Rewards feel good too.
Yep. 12k standing with Vox for the fight is amazing.
Wish this was a permanent thing though
I like the exploiter fight, except for shooting the heat canisters when you're on the surface. The timing when you can shoot after throwing feels really janky and no matter what I do it keeps switching to my secondary after throwing the canister, which was my staticor.
Also spent too much time on the first phase because Zuud was telling me the ice on the vents were down when it still needed more explosions.

The explosion from the Staticor makes it explode. Just spam it in the direction you threw it

Edit:
Just did my second fight and........
gotta be honest, I don't understand anything about the scans or deck 12 or whatever
there appears to be absolutely nothing in-game hinting at anything at all, unless I'm just missing all of it
do you need to do all levels of the fractures first before the game tells you what's up?

The scans for the data mass is part of the "Buried Debt" event. When completed it is the code to unlock a location.
That location was reveled in the Exploiter Boss fight to be "Deck 12". A location that ties all the SU characters to gather. In various fragments all over OV, deck 12 was mentioned. Also deck 12 was mention during some dialogues interactions when you talk to those characters in Fortuna. It was where SU was originated and also where almost all of them perished.
No you just need to know to go to a specific cave on the far east side of the map somehow. The scans have already been "completed" so the code is pre-entered. You need to use a diluted thermia you get from sealing 4 thermal vents in a row to fight the boss there.
no, I mean, I've heard of deck 12 before, it was mentioned as where a tragedy happened that shut down Solaris United for a while, but I don't see where in the game this event points to it
the "somehow" is the problem
I feel like there's story stuff hiding gameplay stuff and none of it is explained in the game
OP

Well the whole deck 12 area was discovered by keen observers of the area who noticed some oddities around there. Namely a field of frozen bodies just off to the east of that formation.
But yes these little scannable things were terribly implemented and not enjoyed by anyone.
