fatpig84 Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 (edited) PSA: This is addressing the key drop rates of NORMAL games. This does NOT affect the Void in anyway. As we all know key drops are getting diluted and moar diluted as DE adds more new game modes to the void. That is why there is a recent drought in specific keys that people are looking for. Take a look at the survival table, there is a 1 in 5 chance of dropping a random key. Excavation uses the same table as Survival. Defense is no better, also boasting an "awesome" 1 in 5 chance of dropping a random key. Interception at the moment is the only mode that has a 1 in 4 chance of a specific key. http://warframe.wikia.com/wiki/Survival http://warframe.wikia.com/wiki/Defense http://warframe.wikia.com/wiki/Interception What I propose is to streamline the key drops from the 4 main endless game modes. Right now we have 7 main keys. 1) Defence 2) MD 3) Interception 4) Capture 5) Survival 6) Exterminate 7) Sabotage 4 Endless modes 1) Excavation 2) Defense 3) Survival 4) Interception For example. Defence = Drops Exterminate, Survival and Sabotage Survival = Mobile Defense, Defense and Capture. Excavation = Drops Exterminate, Mobile defense and Defense Interception = Interception (only in maps above level 20), Survival, Capture and Sabotage Using this way, there will be redundancy (in case someone hates a certain mode) but yet at the same time, tone done the RnG needed to obtain the keys. And yes while syndicates solve the problem about lacking T4 keys, we still need to address other key drops from other tiers as well. So by cleaning up the key pool and reducing most of the rolled key drops to 3 instead of 5, we should see a small but significant boost to people actually getting the key they want. At least mathematically. Again this is a start, if DE likes this idea, they can even further implement this to non-endless modes as well. And yes, Mobile Defense needs to roll an extra reward too (at least for normal games, Void MD will always roll their rewards).

Ignimortis Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 A great idea. I'd love to know where exactly I should go to get the keys I need, not just grind everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatpig84 Posted December 23, 2014 Author Share Posted December 23, 2014 (edited) Not to mention this idea, is still rather future proof. Until DE adds another 3 more new game modes to the void eventually (making it 1 in 4 chance). Edited December 23, 2014 by fatpig84 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egg_Chen Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 It's better than what we have, but... I vote that a Tier X key lets you choose any mission at that Tier. Doubt DE would reduce the grind that much though, so +1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
