AdunSaveMe Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Because really, RNG-based story progression is ridiculous, and it's a bad path to go down. So players at a certain rank above 3 should have a guaranteed oddity spawn to start the quest. I mean really. Working on all this content, then making us require luck to experience it? pls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evanescent Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 (edited) 30+ boss run and 20+ all type mission still cant find it Doesn't spawn in boss run (UPTIL NOW) And spawns in submersible tileset. (UPTIL NOW) Go figure. Met in my exterminate run. 3rd one, specifically. Edited August 1, 2015 by Evanescent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tocorro Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 I second the opinion. Or at least it should have much higher chance to appear ~30%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdunSaveMe Posted August 2, 2015 Author Share Posted August 2, 2015 Steve says run Sharkwing missions, each one you complete increases the odds. Great. Complete dodgy missions on a confusing and buggy tileset with a very-much-unpolished vehicle-type system. I'm definitely looking forward to it.

Swailwort Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 This, or at least make it increase by the number of players like the Bursa event. And Lotus should message us when she detects an anomaly, so at least we know it spawned. I mean, like 25% chance to appear while solo should be enough to make it even bearable..

Or at least make it spawn every 10th mission or so. Hell, I'd be okay with every 20th mission. I'd take a guaranteed spawn that takes a long time over a random spawn.

PsychedelicSnake Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Screenshot pls Twitter never loads for me I gotta counter Steve here that for many people (myself included) the drone does not spawn reliably at all. I hope they buff the spawn chance significantly or provide an alternative, because me and many other people are at our wit's end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, fixing solo spawn rates isn't quite the same as fixing it overall. It's a nice change, but not the one we need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the sounds of it, we need more than what Steve may be suggesting. With such an important piece of the lore essentially unavailable to so many people, it's incredibly frustrating. It's like if one chapter from Mass Effect wasn't available because getting it is completely random, and it's the biggest piece of the story by far.

Insizer Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Missing the point Not really, having them spawn automatically is a boring and stupid fix to what is a minor issue when you think about it. At that point you might as well make it another market bp quest. Sure, maybe increase the spawn chances a little or something, but having it be automatically is just a bad idea.

Technically I can make an apple tree grow and sprout delicious apples by defecating on it for a decade or so, but that doesn't change the fact that the means to the end revolves around crap.

And what is the alternative to said tree growing? Having an apple seed hand you an apple? You don't want a better means to an end, you want an end without the means. The purpose of this "chance to spawn" thing is the emphasize the rarity aspect of the meeting. Having it be automatic ruins that whole element, and at that point, you might as well make it a market BP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdunSaveMe Posted August 3, 2015 Author Share Posted August 3, 2015 (edited) and at that point, you might as well make it a market BP. Why not? There is basically no reason for it to be this random. None at all. It doesn't 'add to the mystery'. It adds to spamming missions until something appears so you can do content that they put all this effort into, and it's not helped by the fact that people can pretty much just find someone else doing the first mission and get it anyway, effectively rendering the entire rng thing pointless. You can't justify this. There is no reasoning that makes it seem any less stupid. Edited August 3, 2015 by AdunSaveMe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
