T3 Key Drop Rates Broken? (Nuovo, 15 Min Reward)

[Qmoney]

Well, I have searched for threads remarking on the recent change in T3 keys drop rates from T3 survivals, and have found nothing.

 

I know that, according to the wiki, on a tier 3 survival (my favourite is Nuovo, in Ceres), the 15 minute reward should have a 50% chance of producing a T3 void key.

 

I have just finished my 10 th nuovo run in a row since the last update.  Not a single T3 key at 15 minutes.  To those statisticians in the crowd, that probability is 0.5^11....  Or a 0.1% chance of that happening

 

...Unless the drop tables were "tweaked".  Hmmmm... the last time something like this happened was after the ember prime access patch maybe? 

 

I have been canvasing players that I have been dropped with, and none have had a recent t3 key drop at 15 minutes either.  I wouldn't even mind if the devs told us that the drop tables were altered, but if they were, and still let us try in vain to farm keys where they won't drop, that is underhanded.

 

I am aware that this could just be an anomaly.  I will update this thread when I do actually manage to get a T3 key at 15 minutes from Nuovo.

I actually get more T3 keys from T2 survivals. You might want to try that.

That's the joy of encrypted drop table. They can do and tell us whatever they want.

Another 2 runs on Nuovo, no T3 key at 15 minutes, 12 in a row now... Make that a 0.024% chance according to the wiki.

 

 

I actually get more T3 keys from T2 survivals. You might want to try that.

 

I may have to do that... its frustrating, because ceres is the only T2 or T3 survival with orokin cells (except ODS, but I never get t3's there either)

I think they broke T3 survival rewards. I have been running T3 (Nuovo) a lot since the last update, and it predominantly gave me t2 keys. I gave up and started running T2 survivals and was able to get T3 keys every once in awhile.

 

I really think they broke T3 survival and it wasn't a stealth nerf. It shouldn't be easier to get t3 keys in a much easier mission.

 

Edit: You might want to re-post this (or have a mod move it) in the bug section, so the appropriate people will notice it and verify if it is working.

You get less T3 keys becouse of the rhino prime hysteria. Everybody needs T3 keys to get the rhino p - so they have to pray to the RNG-Gods or buy the keys in the market...

RNG is just the excuse to get the money. It is the business model. Maybe it don't will be sustained very long that way. It will depend on the p(l)ayer...
