10 Hours Of Farming For 2 Days Still No Hammershot.

[tripletriple]

DE fix this S#&$. It's been months of me farming for hours everyday. Random RNG and grinding is not real content.

Keep farming! It took me a week for my first Hammershot but that said, it annoyed me a lot.

Trust me brother it's been months of time put into trying to get this mod.

[Bleak_Advent]

I've played about 50 missions and no Lethal Torrents, yet got every other nightmare mod. The RNG is just weird.

[YouHaveShamedYoFamory]

Noobs be like "give me my mods now with no effort"

[alchemistjkt]

what, you dont like rng?

well too bad, cause DE loves it.

grind and rng, DEs true loves.

 

sad and painful truth aside:

they really do need to do something about it.

iirc hammer shot has a drop rate of 1% or so... quite ridiculous indeed.

This is why reading comprehension is dying. I have put 200 hours atleast just trying to farm this mod.

i doubt its been 200 hours farming for that one mod, i really really have a hard time believing that.

rng is a kick to the $&*^ most times, but still...

 We've all felt the burn of RNG at one time or another.

Thing about the current RNG system is there's no backup that increases your chances of getting something you don't have even after 1000 runs. It doesn't matter if you've done the mission 1000 or 1000000 times you still only have that 1.01% chance at the mod. It's rather annoying DE doesn't put some simple adaptivity into their code but I haven't created a game as big as Warframe yet so that specific code may be intertwined with a lot. Regardless, DE really needs to put some sort of adaptivity into mod drops.

It isn't that hard to believe. A 1.01% chance means you have a, roughly, 1/100 chance to get the mod. Even if you were guaranteed the mod after 100 runs, assuming each run takes you 5 minutes (which it doesn't half the time) it would still take you at least 8.33 hours. This doesn't include loading times, UI navigation etc, etc, and of course you have to deal with the unchanging 1.01% RNG.

maxed it the day it came out :) 

blaze however......

[YouHaveShamedYoFamory]

I got all the NM mods i need and all the new mods that came out that i need.

[immolator1001]

It doesn't matter how many times you play its still a 1% chance. Is that low? Yes. But assuming each game is 15 minutes long and played back to back in your 40 games over 10 hours with 99% chance you wont get it the chances of you not getting it in a row is 66.9% so...

[Zoike]

while im glad tht people wanna do something bout rng but it always kinda urks me when they complain bout it because ive played games tht are MUCH MUCH worse. in those games rng is irreplaceable. its the soul of the game. and nothing goes better with rng than grind. weeks of grind. no joke. and thts for things tht are a guaranteed drop. not even a hyperbole

You really should have been here during the nightmare weekend, there were a couple of hammer shot alerts, and blaze ones.

[Eidolon_Slayer]

Well... The more you want something, the harder it'll be to find it. 

[RNG_God]

1% drop rates are the best drop rates.

Sage words right here

Here my story:

 

Was farming for Lethal torrent, after a lot of runs I finally got it, right away I placed it on my despair and leveled it twice with fusion cores. A minute later I check the despair again and it's gone... the slot is empty... I check on the compatible mods below and I see an unranked barrel diffusion that came out of nowhere (already had mine maxed and equipped) ...

just to clear up a few things here:

i went to look at OPs profile ingame

 

time played: 195h

missions completed: 850

 

relevance?

saying its taken you 200 hours is a little bit of an exaggeration.

i know steam might clock it differently but still... the point stands.

embellishing the truth does not help in these situations.

 

lets be generous with the time op could have completed runs with and give him, oh i dunno... 15 min runs...

if my math is correct, that would mean that in 200 hours he would have done 800 or so runs.

certainly looks somewhat plausible, but looking at his mastery and what not, i really really doubt it.

 

anyways...

im not a fan of rng, but im not opposed to it.

that said, screwing us is not the way to go.

the 1% drop is abysmal, and DE needs to do something about it.

I don't trust the in game stats much. People have had sentinels with 1 billion experience. Yes 1 billion.

Got my hammershot within 30 runs. Took about 25 more to get lethal torrent. Lethal Torrent was the last piece I needed. I have every nightmare mode mod so far now and duplicates of certain ones. It's all rng, man.
