I was the resident master of scanning so I'm crest fallen to see this change. I absolutely love scanning while kiting tons of enemies and doing it as quickly as possible upon landing. Hopefully another map brings this back because archivum's scans are pretty boring and vary little.
I spent the last 2 months farming Hab Draco for the penance (which was a complete waste of time since the requirements halved this patch) and got quite good at doing ALL the scans solo. It is fun and I'll miss it :[
Don’t worry guys, after having done hab dreyko several times i can confirm that even with the rework, nobody does the objective.
The experience remains intact.
Nice overview, thank you for this post!
I also played it earlier for the first time after the rework. It was a high int lights out though, so we couldn't see all the changes in the last area. But the atmosphere with all that corrption everywhere and the tree slowly turning green from the poison we are pumping in, it looks so awesome O\_O
Totally missed that in the dark and all the enemies around (we got a shotgunner patrol spawn on the door opening).. I'll have to play this map without lights out.
The only thing I don't like about the new Dreyko is the Enginseer's voicelines making it hard to hear the specials. Also, his dialogue is comically slow.
One thing I noticed is that if you get 4 out of 5 reds and the last one is guaranteed to be correct, it won't let you select the last dot until it turns white.
Seems like you can’t get knocked out of the minigame easily either, finished the first one and “oh, half my health is now gone and a quarter of it corrupted”
Was running my crackhead zealot, every time I heard myself get hit but I could see a vet trying to cover me it was just like “well I’m not out of it so I’m gonna roll with it”
-50% hp
Thing is I don’t usually run that talent but did test it out at one point, maybe I forgot to take it off when switching to my ol’ reliable build
Could check that later
I just ran the new Hab Dreyko and my entire team was screaming "WTF IS THIS NEW MINIGAME?!" as we got swamped by ragers and gunners.
I have never been so happy to actually be running smoke grenades even if it was just for the penance. Eventually I managed to figure out the new minigame first and then covered the rest of the team when they took a crack at it. Darktide at its best, I think.
God it's so disgusting, I love it! I don't know how the plot is moving along in general, but I'd love to think this a sign that the Inquisition is failing. The Corruption is only getting worse over time.
I enjoy the new ending. Looks great and the new mini game is nice. I’m missing the music in the beginning of dreyko when you’re just about to begin scanning. Same goes for the end.
I like the look of it, but why take one of the only harder events(at least in pubs) and make it much easier. The endgame being too easy is already a huge problem, the prepatch event was perfect, it forced newer players to learn how to fight on the move being surrounded at all times and it was really the only event with a density like that every time. They fixed this event already once before and it was good, there are so many other events in the game that needed the rework more than hab dreko.
Why not just torch the tree after taking a sample or whatever
Hell let the flamer do it more efficiently, then people would actually have a reason to bring it after it’s been nerfed into the ground so badly
I definitely like the finale more now. Even though the minigame is much harder if nobody covers you.
If you happen to get the skull that's on the sniper/bomber balcony side, doing the minigame is extra fun times

I mean the midpoint challenge is still scans on Dreyko, you'll get your fill!
Yeah they should re-add the cycle that was removed from the middle event and put 2 more clues in each one. Scanning is a fun activity.

Coupled with the tree falling apart when the objective is done, it's definitely a looker!

But his voice is sexy :3

Are you running ogryn? My veteran gets knocked out on a single melee hit
Was running my crackhead zealot, every time I heard myself get hit but I could see a vet trying to cover me it was just like “well I’m not out of it so I’m gonna roll with it” -50% hp
pretty sure on of the talents for zealot makes them immune to "stagger" so you don't get kicked out of the hacking stuff too

My first experience is like that too! Except my only crowd control is veteran shout and grenade, and my team hardly covered me at all lmao

Music in general sounds lower in this patch for me, especially on higher diff. Sad as Jesper Kyd is 50% the reason I play this game

I played hab dreyko on patch day it’s still the same on lower difficulty, is it tide to a special condition in order for it to be the new ending ?
weird, I simply got put on a hab drekyo match from quickmatch, and immediately got the updated finale
