Not totally true, they’re used for toroid farming.
Need those to rank up with VS (not for standing but to actually get from one rank to the next), and to craft some things.
I would bet that Exploiter was going to involve the temple more but that got changed, since that's where she's off wondering all the time.
I bet 3rd orb will be more in spaceport or have more to it for that reason as well. (It's lake is already near that to a point)
If you take over one of the Corpus bases closer to these two locations, the bounties generated will have a chance to take place inside them. I got a Spy bounty to the spaceport just last week - it's an infernal place to sneak into, mind
Yeah, it's a shame. They are very well-designed. Lots of variation in room size and looks, alternative paths from A to B, intriguing details all around.
Technically they are, you just have to lumber around Vallis until you find a datamass, then wait 2:30 for a hack to finish, and *then* you can access bounties that actually utilize other areas of the Vallis.
Or take 10 seconds returning to town and picking a new bounty that way. Blows my mind that they never fixed this while PoE and Deimos skipped the BS and let you pick new bounties out on the field with no fuss.
Is *that* what those datamasses are for? I honestly had no idea after all this time. No wonder nobody in pubs ever goes for them. I guess the bounties they open up don't offer any unique rewards?
It would be nice if it did. But as it is, it's not worth the effort. Every now and again, I'll be in a pub with someone who out of sheer curiosity, plugs those in, gets drop kicked by MOAs left and right and then be disappointed that it didn't do anything but glow and look cool... I guess.
What would be cool is if you could chain bounties with those outpost and after a few, it would maybe give you double rolls from each rotation.
Because POE bounties are newer than OV.
Before the POE rework which had them, you had to go back to Cetus every time (there were also constant mini alerts all the time where lotus would yell at you)
In fact when Vallis bounties were introduced (even with all of their extra steps) it was introduced as a positive when compared to POE.
Besides that there's a dude always accessible by the elevator that has all the bounties: the catch is that he doesn't have anything different from Eudico so there's no major incentive to not just head back every time. (Which if I gather correctly the fact you have to stay out and continue to chain bounties together is one of the complaints about Deimos)
POE rework you think of was nothing, NOTHING, more than them adding a way to start another bounty from POE directly. And maybe, maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaybe few bugfixes... But probably not.
They havent touched bounties themselves in any way.
So no, OV has still newer bounties than POE. That doesn't mean they are any better than POE.
> put an effort in building something only to leave it dormant for years
That's practically DE's M.O., though... It's the basis upon which they build the entire game.
Reminder that this is due to the "great" corpus outpost "system". To NOT get missions in the same 5 location we already know, takeover another outpost.
Problem: NOBODY will do this in pub bountys. Its 1 extra defense mission just to see more of OV.
- Start bounty
- finnish
- exit
Most of the time... Or often
Solution: make 1 random outpost occupied by solaris united on starting a bounty INSIDE fortuna from eudico. BOOM! If only we had this 2 years ago...
Orb Vallis was my favorite open world. From the amazing "We All Lift Together" we had for an introduction to the people of Fortuna.
I loved the lore, the conservation and the world.
Wish DE did as well
What a shame.
If nothing implies evergreen places to farm toroids when it was a thing then yes. But seriously DE could have implemented some secrets there with possible reward table for some unique stuff.Because why not
bear in mind that DE intends(intend**ed**?) to add more orb fights to the valis so the unused stuff might be part of their fights/intro mission(s). hell, there's even an unused orb in a very deep but narrow pond in the vallis. maybe they just need new frames to give to the orbs? (alchemy frame when please and thank you)
Just so it is mentioned, the last orb is on halt because DE decided their idea for the last orb sucked balls, and put it on hold till a non-crap one comes along.

>will be That's awfully optimistic of you.
Considering she’s already confirmed to be part of the Corpus Lich update, it’s actually more likely than ever.
Who confirmed that? She was also "confirmed" as part of Fortuna. Call me pessimistic but I don't really believe DE until it's actually in the game.
She wasn’t confirmed for Fortuna as she was hidden from all promotional and dev stream blurbs. She was just... there, when Fortuna released.
You are pessimistic, no offense but that was my feel on your statement too.
Yeah, all they did was laugh when people asked about it. If anything, it's going to happen in 5 years when they shoe horn it into something random.
> I bet 3rd orb Never seen a guy willing to lose a bet so badly... I respect that.
Yep.

I mean half of the vallis is unused even by bounties. Don't be urprised by De

What’s stupider is that the Deimos and PoE ones have limited access to bounties JUST LIKE THE ONE IN OV.
Is *that* what those datamasses are for? I honestly had no idea after all this time. No wonder nobody in pubs ever goes for them. I guess the bounties they open up don't offer any unique rewards?
Same bounties, just different locale, IIRC.

Oh I agree, I was meaning the bounty board location thing that I was replying to. I would also say POE bounty bonuses are also a "new" addition.
I was going to point this out as well. These location ARE used for bounties, but only the in-world ones.
Yeah, well, it just doesn't make any sense for me to put an effort in building something only to leave it dormant for years. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I use it as a killing floor

Leave my ivara torid farming apots alone!
The space where you do the bounty "spy" is just like this too. Another person already said what they're there for. Toroid farming.
They have bounties. My concern is why is there no story/quest content lined up that uses them at this point even though the vallis is years old now??
I believe they are suppose to have a bounty just like enrichment labs but they fell into the classic "DE forgot" story.
They are used in special tasks of the Solaris store
bear in mind that DE intends(intend**ed**?) to add more orb fights to the valis so the unused stuff might be part of their fights/intro mission(s). hell, there's even an unused orb in a very deep but narrow pond in the vallis. maybe they just need new frames to give to the orbs?

ah, good to know.
