Vega Toroids don't drop

[Zarcxon]

I've been farming at the spacport for 30min's and i haven't gotten a single one, i had 4 stars and a nekros prime to farm for one and I think the drops for it is bugged

[Phaze_Toralon]

that would match up with the enrichment lab and the temple, those didnt drop either, and i left ALOT of bodies in the temple

[PastaAdventures]

I wasn't able to get any either, i have the other 2 toroid though. Looks like this is a bug?

[Ailyene]

I was able to get 7 of them, I forget which of the three places it was though.  Might just be really bad RNG, but then again it might be like ores where they sometimes bug and stop showing up.

Also a reminder that we also have to be inside of the Temple/Spaceport/Lab for them to drop if we aren't already.  Farming outside the structures yielded nothing for me at least.

Edit:

Nevermind this, I've gotten toroids from killing stuff outside of the Labs since this post so don't need to be inside for the drops.

I was able to get a vega toroid from an enemy outside so they can definitely drop there. Only one though after killing a bunch of enemies

I just spent 30 odd mins testing the diff locations, I ended up at the lab, and farmed like 8 Calda Toroid. I just used tank nekros and got ragdolled to hell.

Patient is nice when you dont need the item for standing. 1 hour for 1k standing is not exactly good

I found a couple at the bottom of a cave..... it was the third in the list that little duck would have you turn in. Don't recall which it was named, just that I found them at the bottom of a cave hidden in a corner

 

[TesseractNZ]

Yea just spent 40 minutes inside spaceport and not a single Toroid.

There is farming and then there is this which is #*!%ed up.

When lots of people are having the same problem then you cant blame RNG just DE.

[Carrrrammba]

I've found some in a cave behind an access hidden by some floating barge (far left, middle of the map north of the pearl). Might be worth checking them all in detail.

[Portkins]

They definitely do drop; me and a friend were out farming them with Hydroid + Nekros and we've gotten about a dozen of each.

[--Xenos--Drevix15]

I have visited the Space port 3 separate times with a Nekros Prime, solo, 30 minutes to an hour each time for the past two days.
I am rank 2 with Solaris.
I have not gotten a single Vega Toroid to drop on any of these visits and I am extremely angry because these are the only Toroids I am lacking to rank up for the first time with Little Duck.

To put this into perspective, I was able to farm all of the parts that I needed for Revenant in one day, and I have double the parts needed for Garuda at this point, yet I do not have these two items. 

I fail to see how this is an RNG problem at this point.

Then you are failing to understand statistics. Low drop rates with high number's of iterations result in a "long tail" of people that will not get drops for many, many time the "mean" time spent. With the number of people playing fortuna at this point we are bound to get notable amount of statistical outliers.

If the toroid in on the drop tables like a rare mod drop (It's probably worse than that) 

3% chance of any drop at all, and then a ~2% chance of a rare drop, so 1666 kills just to have a 63% chance of at least 1

We had 100,000 concurrent users on steam so using that number we would expect 12 of those poor people to not get a drop for 15,000 kills

That is just the way numbers work.

You're entirely missing the point. Statistical analysis of "random" number chains has muck-all to do with user experience as relates to RNG-gating.

This Toroid drop chance stuff is nonsense. I've just spent a long while killing very possible enemy around the Spaceport, have not gotten a single Toroid. How am I supposed to construct Garuda if the ingredients are effectively impossible to get?

I should not have to sit and farm and reload the map for days on end just to have a CHANCE at obtaining what is required.

 

edit: Okay, funny - as though to spite my complaining, on my way out of the Spaceport after typing this out, more enemies spawned and at long last ONE Vega Toroid appeared....

Nonetheless my complaint about RNG-gating still stands.

So, I have been farming Vega Toroids 3-4 times 30-50 Minutes. The 50 Minutes run was with Drop chance booster and Nekros. I haven't seen a single Vega Toroid yet.

I was able to get the other two tho

[Grimm_Ivy]

I'm having the same issue grinding Vega Toroids. I managed to be lucky enough to get a few near the launch of Fortuna, but I haven't been lucky at all since. I've gone to Spaceport for 30 minutes-1 hour at a time, about 5 separate times as Nekros and I still haven't acquired a single one. These odds are pure lunacy.

Edit: Just like TheGreenGunner, I got two Vega Toroids within a 10minute timeframe on my next attempt. Moral of the story, complain in this forum and have RNGesus pity your mildly tortured soul.

50+ Calda and Sola <30min farming... 1h+ farming Vega 2.... something is very wrong with Vega drops at the moment.

[Azullion1]

Yo, I have been grinding around the spaceport since fortuna launched, and Ive only gotten three this WHOLE TIME... DE please, please, please, buff the drop rate for Vega Toroids exponentially. I'll suck your ... Just buff 'em please.

[meritosthene]

still not dropping, tried in teams and solo, inside and outside. 10 mins, 30 mins, 1hr...     at the 1hr point solo i got one.  and it was off a moa, not a corpus... its not like Enrichment labs where i can get 1-5 outside without even going in..    more people will complain on this, because to get Baruuk you need the vega toroids to get past Lil Ducky to Agent and then to Hand.. 

 

Please DE, put Vega toroid spawns in line with Calda Toroid Spawns,, or at the very least add them to the drop tables for the different mission parts like you did calda.
