[Suggestion] Please Look Into The Drop Rates Of Certain Mods

[-Thresher-]

And I thought I was the only one with a boatload of Mind Control mods lol.

Computer talk, don't worry.

[Synopsis]

Everyone I've ever talked to in-game about this mentions the same few mods: Mind Control, Fireball, and Venom.

 

Either this is a Salem-Witch-Trials-sized mass hallucination, or something is off with these drop rates.  :p

Mind Control drops way to often so does Fireball

I don't know about anyone else but I've been getting pages of Common 3 fusion cores, specifically at common 3 tier

[Kishward]

Closing in on 200 hours, Rank 6. Have never seen a Flow or Streamline.

Streamline appears 60% of the time at Xini(As a wave 5, 10 reward) farm Xini

 

I have literally found 12 Streamlines at Xini rewards

How could I possibly screenshot the brief 3 seconds the mod appears on screen? That's an absurd request lad. Besides, I can't get the steam interface to work with warframe, so f12 to screenshot doesn't work

The ingame screenshot button if F6.

Done Xini many times but I will focus on it for a few days.

 

Thank you for the tip!

I recently cleaned out my mods, but I'm back up to 22 Mind Controls. I average about 3 per 10-wave Xini run. I thought I was the only one, it's ridiculous.

[Andysowhat]

instead of fixing it or shiiieett... cant they just impliment like you can make 3 common mods into a level 3 common fusion core? and 3 uncommon mods can be a level 5 uncommen fusion core and so on?

Brilliant.

Now I'll have thousands of fusion cores, but the mods that I actually WANT to level up will never drop.

It sounds intriguing, but still, the drop rates are broken

[Judopunch]

Sounds like a bug between mob level, drop rate, and rng where some mods may be disproportionately avalable due to a math bug

[Alohoe]

82 hours played, working on my 5th frame. Ive never seen rifle or shotgun multishot. lots and lots of mc's and fireballs. lots...

[cyrus106]

Any other thoughts on this subject? If you want to confirm that your drops are lopsided, go ahead. But constructive feedback and opinions are a big help lads!

Well, maybe if you guys stop farming Xini/other infested defenses, you won't keep getting mind controls and fireballs.  Try some Grinner mobile defenses at Kappa or Kiste or even run Grinner bosses.  I got my pistol multishot off Grinner mobile defense and shotgun multishot off Vay Hek.  Rare fusion cores I admit are really rare (only got 2 of them) but I suppose they are a rare mod, and for most rare mods that I received, I only have 1-2 of.

Yeah, the drop rates are just plain stupid at times, I mean you get mind control like there is no tomorrow but them other common mods aren't even nearly as usual than mind control or fireball. This applies to everywhere but what bothers me the most is that melee elemental mods like Molten Impact drops way too rarely, being almost as rare as, well rare mods are and I understand that they are more useful than other mods for melee, this is still so ridiculous that it is not even funny.

Other than the overly large gap between mod drop rates, I have no other complaint about this game at the moment.

EDIT: The way it should be is that the rarity class of the mod defines how often you get a mod, because every rarity class has several mods makes sure that the desired drop is not going to drop instantly. Currently it seems more frustrating than fun to try to get some mods because every time you see a mod on the ground you hope for the best but little do you know it will be yet another same mod you have thousands anyways so what is the point in getting them anymore, might as well just sell the worthless mod.

"Common" drop rate....hrm. Weird how some aren't that common huh?

Teamwork is broken too but you never see any game company fix that.

Amen bro

We should be able to merge mods. Example : 2 commons = 1 random uncommon mods. This would clear pages and make mods more useful with any rating.

[DerLeopard]

Didn't notice it until now I got tons of Mind Control and Fireball, no I don't farm Xini or any infested. I always go grineer mobile defense on Ceres, Earth and Sedna when lvling, alloy/rubedo and farming fusion cores so yea I agree this loot table is screwed.

[Braken]

I used to get almost nothing but Blunderbus mods. Now, it's mostly True Steel.

 

The droprates on all of the mods needs tweaking.

[Myo86]

i don't even play anymore it seems, i find myself just logging on steam waiting for an alert ? call and logging on to do that. And even that 99% of the time i dont log on for the ? rewards. Chat system is so poor you have to open up ur window to see chat and when ur in chat you have to decide on only listening to /s chat or /c chat one at a time which also hinders on communication. Have a 150+ man guild but only 10 are on and ~2 would actually want to play a defence map and only to wave 20~ which gives the same old common true steel bunderbuss crap.
