cyrus106 Posted February 5, 2015 Author Share Posted February 5, 2015 A friend of mine told me that during the stream they were saying something about buffing rare items drops after first C, but I dunno if this is true or not since I haven't watched the stream. They called it rotation D, but it felt more like an awkward joke than proposed solution i.e. "they want the D! huehue" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ampoth Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Rebecca had brought up that there's no reward for going further than 40 minutes, and Sheldon, who seems to be the one in control of the void tables, seemed to get what she was talking about. But seriously, I don't want to have to play a single mission for 40 minutes before things start to get better. We don't all work for DE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyrus106 Posted February 6, 2015 Author Share Posted February 6, 2015 Results of 2 runs: First run, literally no rare 5s 30 minutes http://cloud-4.steamusercontent.com/ugc/700643652991944363/A6AFB2AF0B250B16C9F14C76DA3BC45E41E674AF/ http://cloud-4.steamusercontent.com/ugc/700643652991945799/5E819117FD37833E296CDDEBC44AE783A084BC86/ Second run 40 mins 15 rare 5s, 3 o cells, vasto prime bp http://cloud-4.steamusercontent.com/ugc/700643652991946938/02CDEF6F9078BC6A8CD3F4663A44C901480601F7/ Confirmed, O cells are in rotation A. Why is this bad you ask? Based on how the drop rates work, rotation A had a 77% chance of dropping common items (the only item in "common" was cores, hence why t4 survival is so popular). Now that o cells are added, that rate is CUT IN HALF. That's right! Only a 38.5% chance to drop r5s now in rotation A! ENJOY! Sidenote: I ran a t4 defense earlier and got literally nothing but rare 5s in a 35 wave run, couldnt get a screenie due to game crash but I suspect maybe they made t4 defense the new spot....needs more testing!

plznohurtme Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 I know that hard "evidence". Just noticed that you just added all the probabilities together, which irritated me. Also, there doesn't seem to be that much that is classified as "rare" at all when it comes to void, the only thing this applies to seems to be completed Forma. That's because that's how their drop tables work... look at every single mission in the game they all conspicuously have the same exact percentages (if you add up the common/uncommon/rare classifications). They use an idiotic weighted class system rather than each individual piece of loot having its own percentage. As for T4 Survival getting Orokin Cells that's just a bad joke, let's hope that they're only in Rotation A, but either way it sounds like everyone's going to be swimming in those too soon enough.

plznohurtme Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Not letting this one die... First messing with the C tables when they implement stacking rewards, and now it's adding in Orokin Cells to T4Surv... I'd say DE is doing a good job of killing everything without our help.

HuzzelMuzzel Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 DE developers talk about this threat in the live stream. Next update they reduce the rare cores and put useless cells in. It is like they making fun of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UltimateSpinDash Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 How about this: In order for a dropchance to get approved, DESheldon has to play the game until it actually drops for him. He can change the droprate freely until it drops, then it is final. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Play the game more, earn your own gear, and perhaps you will finally see how POOR your changes are DE definitely isn't good at their own game. They don't really understand how hardcore players experience the game and they don't have a good feel for how casual players play either. That, and the pressure to monetize their game is leading to the toxic direction the game had been going in in the last few updates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bibliothekar Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 (edited) How about this: In order for a dropchance to get approved, DESheldon has to play the game until it actually drops for him. He can change the droprate freely until it drops, then it is final. Problem with that is, that no item stands on its own. Each change in drop chance affects all other items in the same pool. Have you already forgotten how angry people got after a while when DE introduced the new corrupted mods, pushed their drop chance through the ceiling and you didn't seem to get anything from vaults besides those three mods, thus making the old ones almost impossible to obtain? Not everyone in this game already has everything and is only hunting for the freshest stuff. Sometimes people need a part of, say, a Prime item three generations back because of reasons. Imagine you need a Frost Prime Helmet for Suda, but get nothing but Nova Chassis from T3S - wouldn't that feel as bad as the other way around? If you change drop chances while you play, until you get a specific item, and then repeat that for every other item in the same pool, you'll end up with drop pools that have a total chance of over 200% sooner rather than later, making the RNG definitively go nuts.

Yeah, that's the thing. But with how some items drop with 25% chances while others drop with 5%, it would probably balance things out, at least more then right now.

That would be logical, but that isn't allowed here you should understand that by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There might be a lot of stuff, but at least the odds aren't stacked against you. I know that this is the case for at least some of the drop tables - T2 defence, rotation A was explicitly stated by Kickbot in council chat to have equal weighting.

Let not turn on eachother, stay focused on making more change for the better via discussion and constructive feedback I actually thought that was obvious... Now that DE actually puts cores into lower Voids and Star Chart missions, I think I should once again propose giving more cores for B Rotation than A. C shouldn't have them, at least not in void (not too familiar with the state of star chart C Rotations). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plznohurtme Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Or you could all realize that I was JOKING... Except for the fact it isn't funny because he's been screwing the playerbase over, and quite frankly I think your suggestion is perfect punishment. Clearly he doesn't play the game though and his cheating during their devstream just further shows how little he seems to actually care about the game side of things. Now that DE actually puts cores into lower Voids and Star Chart missions, I think I should once again propose giving more cores for B Rotation than A. C shouldn't have them, at least not in void (not too familiar with the state of star chart C Rotations). They only added them to A in regular Survival and B in Interception and I believe the star chart C are all keys I may be wrong though I haven't checked beyond what I've played personally. I certainly agree they shouldn't be in C for void and neither should Forma BPs, but that just goes back to what this whole thread started out about. I'm really curious how else the drop tables were affected when they inserted Orokin Cells, but who knows when/if we'll be able to find out since it would appear stuff is encrypted again.
