Assassin Spawn Rates Tweak.(Aka More Harvester And G3 Spawns)

[FillyHarmonic]

Alright, before anyone freaks out, hear me out. People all over this game are looking for Harvester and the Grustrag Three, for the Detron and Brakk respectively. I have a proposition to fix, but not break the spawn rates of these so called "Assassins" via a simple stacking Mark system. I'm not sure what the spawn rates are, so let's say 4% for the Harvester is the 'base' chance, for example. with each additional mark, you gain a fixed percentage of spawn chance, say 1.5% for the math. 
1 Mark  :4%

2 Marks:5.5%

3 Marks:7%

4 Marks:8.5%

5 Marks:10%

 

Now, i'm not sure how this would overlap with G3, and Stalker marks, perhaps the same, so that at the end of the day, you have a 30% spawn chance, or it could be compounded into the 10%, leaving 3.3% per assassin? giving a 40%spawn on a team of 4 with all marks? I'm not entirely sure how the marks would be eaten up, perhaps all are nom'd and you return to 0 for that one assassin.

 

Feel free to leave your own suggestions, comments, haiku's, etc. Ta ta~

I would love for solo-players to be able to see so-called assassins more often. I'd imagine it'd be smart to go after one guy rather than 4

 

+1 to you sir.

All three come after me more when I am soloing than anything, especially the Zanuka and Stalker.

I'd love for them to stack.

It's a pretty good idea, I would also implement a fixed encounter after a certain amount of runs as well.

but. woul;dn't that ruin the element of 'randomness' as well? All i want to do is increase the rates so it's easier to farm them if that is your goal.

While increasing the rate is a good idea, it can't be so much that every other mission we end up seeing zanuka/G3/stalker, as then it no longer feels special like it's meant to. Though increasing the rates marginally is a good idea as they are very annoying to farm, regardless of whether you're in a group or not.

To be honest I'm not even looking for drops anymore, I already got everything from them. I just want to fight the G3 and the Harvester a bit more often.
