cmacq Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 So as was foretold, Baro has this for sale. Is there any real benefit for someone who has been playing the game for a while? Where would you use it? I think I'll try one but I'm having trouble really seeing how it's valuable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trst Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 For anyone who doesn't actually need to farm a mod from something that doesn't have a 100% mod drop rate the only application is farming to sell. Which pretty much only includes Condition Overload which will likely crash in price eventually due to more people farming it because of the booster. If you don't want to farm mods for profit then the booster is just a worse way to farm endo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhiteMarker Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 Farming mods like Condition Overload for trading. Or maybe for the Profit-Taker Orb, if you want all the dual Archwing mods... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmacq Posted October 11, 2019 Author Share Posted October 11, 2019 So this is really only worth it for farming one mod? Doesn't seem like a good investment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BansheePrime Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 (edited) There are very few rare mods you'll want that are not mission rewards or from enemies with a 100% mod drop chance. 1 hour ago, WhiteMarker said: Farming mods like Condition Overload for trading. Or maybe for the Profit-Taker Orb, if you want all the dual Archwing mods... Arch dual mods are fixed drops from end of mission though.

Gravemind93 Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 500 ducks for it seems kinda outrageous to me. If you're a noob and would get the most use out of it, 500 ducks is a pretty hefty sum. If you're not a noob, 500 d's is still a sizable chunk for something that'd only contribute to the drip-feed of mods into your collection and eventually the scraps of Endo you get from it.

(PSN)AyinDygra Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 if I could buy it as an inventory gear wheel consumable like beacons, so I could hold on to it until I could actually make use of the 3 days... I MIGHT buy that actually... however, I'll be out of town tomorrow, and at work most of monday... so it's pathetically useless (as are most boosters) to me. Since I don't like Arbitrations, but would like Adaptation and Rolling Guard (eh, why not?) and as I understand it, they're both mod drops from enemies in arbitrations, I'd like to spend as little time in Arbitrations as possible to get them... this mod drop booster would help with that. Any extras would be nice to sell to people who can't access arbitrations yet, but still want said mods. This is also one reason I haven't bough the PS4 renown pack yet... it contains boosters that I don't want to waste, since they activate immediately. (I could very much use an affinity booster right now, for the few minutes I get to play each day between work and other responsibilities, as I just built a new prime (chroma), several new weapons and 2 archwings to get ready for the New War/Railjack) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When IMHO that was the endgame from the start. That said I totally agree having it as a sortie reward or brought through Baro is extremely inconvenient due to the way that boosters function in the game (auto consumption, persistent countdown wheather you're logged in or not) It never made sense to religate any booster to either RNG or Baro. Unless they where running damage control. Funny thing is other than the looming prospect of drop chances getting slashed, that they have said won't happen, I never thought the booster itself was scummy. It all depends on how its handled. Funny thing being when they add it ( I highly doubt it will be an if) if they go with an announcement that makes it seem like they are trying to do the playerbase a solid... it's gonna seem scummier to me than if they'd just pushed it live A La Carte from the get go along with some figures. Speaking of which, have we ever gotten any figures as to exactly how it functions or is it just a black box?

(PSN)Dishinshoryuken Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 I always wondered....are the boosters actually boosters or do they return everything back to how it was before Someone said "if we cut the time/drops to half, they gotta play twice as long." What if all this time we been playing the game cut down a little to make us play more or/and use bought boosters to be back at the true level? 7 day given as the PA add on and this coming out after all those boosters bought day 1.... for half the time....seems legit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the uninitiated, a lot of MMO games had a fatigue system, where you'd start getting reduced EXP if you played for extended periods of time. Conversely, WoW has a Rest system where you get increased EXP for logging off for a period of time. These are both effectively the same system, but of course Rest is received well because it's seen as a positive. This relates to Warframe because it's the same mechanic as the 2x booster. People aren't as outraged because it's a bonus, but if you were to say that all normal players got half the drops and you were buying a normal drop rate booster, then people would lose their minds.

JackHargreav Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 Waste of ducats. It won't help with the rare mods since the drop rate on those are really low. I don't even know how anyone thought this was worth to add to the game. And I especially don't know how anyone could have thought this could be a p2w mechanic. Anyways, don't buy it. You're better off with the prisma weapons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)sister-hawk Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 I bought one today, took Nekros to Uranus, and got Condition Overload in about 30 minutes. It was useful for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone know how if these things are actually a worth it? I believe the booster says it doubles the drop rate of mods. By exactly what method does it accomplish this? I’m not sure. Either way it equates to a significant increase. Edited October 11, 2019 by (PS4)sister-hawk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone know how if these things are actually a worth it? It doubles the chance for an enemy to drop "a" mod. When the games rolls a mod drop for an enemy it then rolls their mod drop table to determine what mod it is. For the Drekar Butcher, who drops Condition Overload, they have a 3% chance to drop a mod which the booster will increase to 6%. Then if they roll that 3/6% you have a 0.67% (the booster doesn't affect this value) chance to get Condition Overload from their mod drop table. So if anyone was to buy the booster specifically for CO you're pretty much paying for 3% (not literally but I'm bad at math, someone else can figure the exact increase to getting CO).

EdinaMonsoon Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 i got one free from a sortie and as an end game player, i didn't notice a difference apart from getting a new stance mod i never had before i haven't checked my collection since though so i might get a decent amount of endo from selling duplicates 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zendadaist Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 Does this work on things like the rare Jupiter Secret Lab variant Amalgam mod drops (Odomedic etc)? What about in conjunction with Ivara's Prowl or is it off dead corpses/Nekros/Khora etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
