Hotfix 18.4.3

[Xebov]

It was?

 

It lost nearly 50% over night, went from nearly 50% to death in aprox 8 hours.

[-Temp0-]

Speaking in ignorant on how statistics work, @ 4% drop rate, 25 missions is not what it takes to acquire the mod. Thats the average it takes to acquire a mod, meaning about 50% chance to acquire the mod after 25 missions. You're looking at more like 15-35 missions as a realistic window, and if you take into account all 5 mods (Im counting torment even though hes now gone), thats 75-175 missions to acquire yourself a set of mods. Thats not a small number.

 

Although im already at 273, so i guess its better than what we had. Well it would be anyways, except we were able to do missions in about a minute due to aborting, now you're looking at having to complete missions. I dont have the data for average mission length or i'd be able to pump out an estimated time to acquire a full mod set.

Speaking of statistics, now I have 325 completed missions and only couple of spare rares. I don't know how I'd felt if after all those attempts I didn't get at least each rare.

The average mission lenght is about 2-3 to 5-7 minutes if you solo, longer in a team usually. That's why no one should do it in a team really (and cry after host aborts it after getting 100ish common mod), unless you just can't handle them alone.

Depends on too many factors.

The ideal, as I understand it, is 5 minutes per reward, as per Survival.

Def is about inline with that.

Interception is 4 minutes for full capture, assuming you start with all 4 captured and have no downtime.

MD is ~3-6.5 minutes, not including travel.

Excavation... is a crapshoot atm.

Exterm/Crossfire (for a well-modded player), Capture, Decpetion are primarily limited by your traversal speed.

Spy, I have no ballpark for.

I am a bit confused by this statement. Reading the second sentence in terms of numbers it would be something like this:

 

Rare 2% to 4%

Uncommon 10% to 20%

Common 88% to 76%

 

But the first sentence would be more like this

 

Rare 25%

Uncommon 35%

Common 40%

 

Which one is it?

 

 

FOUR PERCENT IS ONE IN TWENTY FIVE. WHICH IS A PERFECTLY REASONABLE DROP RATE. OKAY!?

 

Geez, people and wanting to be hand-fed everything with a silver spoon from a golden platter.

 

In either circumstance you still have to work for the mods so it is not really being "hand-fed everything".

 

It would be nice to have some clarification though.

Is Violence bugged? He dropped a mod but it never showed up in the mission results or my inventory. Kind of a bummer too, since it was the rare mod.

+10 runs on my end and I yielded the same results. None of my squad mates have been getting rewards either.

• Fixed Radial Blind interrupting reloads.

 

YES! Coffee for everyone in the office!

[Anubias]

Just saying this "hotfix" gave game some memory leak cause im getting bluescreens every 30 min (affects only wf). I was able to play normally before this hotfix

[dogmeate]

• Added changes to reveal method of Acolyte Mod Drops to prevent stress on host-migration and matchmaking in the event of repeated mission aborts. Please note that now any Event Mod dropped by Acolytes will appear with the 'Rare' beacon and only be revealed at mission complete.

- Ok, didn't see how this could have been that bad, I was doing this solo for hours and it didn't hurt anybody.

 

• Changed the default Common/Uncommon/Rare drop rate system for Acolyte enemies to have a more equalized distribution of drops across the rarities. In doing so, the rate that Uncommon and Rare mods drop has been increased by double, and the rate at which Common mods drop has been reduced.

- But the drop rates are still terrible, and the grind has been increased way more than the drop percentage.

 

Come on DE, we've been through this before. RNG makes for a bad time every time. Why not just make a community contribution goal? So that every player who killed an acolyte X number of times, will get the full set of mods after the event is over. Those who want to get the mods early can if they want but those of us who can't grind for ages can still get them.

 

It seems pretty obvious at this point that RNG is not the way to go.

[3thereal]

Do you guys think you could remember to not put new content behind:

 

A. A Time Wall

 

AND

 

B. A RNG Wall

 

AND

 

C. A Time-Limited event

 

in the future? The community thanks you advance.

[8gbMoreRAM]

I remember when events guaranteed mods.

[Haldos]

Appreciate those fixes, as always.

[BETAOPTICS]

Yey!

This SUCKS, is boring do 5 waves/mins or travel a whole map to get a common mod

Who are you and what have you done with DE??

 

=======================

 

Still no fix for Shield Osprey blueprints not dropping from Cephalon Suda death squads. THIS IS GENUINELY BUGGED, PLEASE DO NOT DISMISS IT.

Posting this in every update/hotfix until it gets fixed.

[Sanctifer]

Thanks a lot.

Back to farming Torment, if he isn't dead in 18 hours <3

As an Excalibro main, the change is very good.

Still hoping you guys will give another look at Excavation, tho.

[Neo3103]

Dear DE, do you want that our fellow Tenno send you a huge post-it with those things to remember : 

- Don't forget to add new enemies into the codex

- Don't forget to make new prisma weapons tradable? ^^

 

You make all the time the same mistakes... It is not agile development, uh. Be agile like a Tenno!

"Changed the default Common/Uncommon/Rare drop rate system for Acolyte enemies to have a more equalized distribution of drops across the rarities. In doing so, the rate that Uncommon and Rare mods drop has been increased by double, and the rate at which Common mods drop has been reduced."

What do you mean by "default" system? I assumed the Acolytes were working off their own drop table but had a guaranteed drop if we got them before they escaped? Is there another drop table available to them later, or is there another system governing their drops (as in another system that might affect OTHER drops that are now changed)? Or is this SOLELY for acolytes?

That "default" is just confusing me. >_<

Changes

• Ferrite has replace Alloy Plate as a Resource Drop in Void missions.

 

 

[Issxi]

Don't you know to read? Torment will come back and more acolytes will drop the same mods, if u couldnt farm it is not my problem

My apologies. I must've skipped over that post accidentally.

[-Temp0-]

And it doesn't seem to me that fix has affected the time needed to defeat them at all. Angst just went from 11 or 10% to 9% in like half an hour or so. So yeah. Such fix, much thanks.

Sucks even more to not be awake the same hours and want some of the mods everyone else just aborts constantly for, and then potentially having to re-do annoying missions for.

[WingedCrusade]

Then get creative and try to make it fun. I've been leveling Ivara and fine making spiderwebs with her first ability to travel on and snipe from is ridiculously fun, and the waves go by like no tomorrow.

[pyrocraziac]

Save for the final round mods, I got all of them in less than 200 encounters.

 

This was very reasonable. I see no need to have changed it.

[-Temp0-]

I like this more. Too many pains in the a.sses farming for just the mods and leaving right away, leaving the rest of us (sometimes only me) to fend for our(my)selves.

Solo mod exists for a reason. Friend list exists for a reason. It's not other players fault you have to be carried through a simple miussion, it's not like it's a sortie or anything.

Fixed an issue with the difficulty of Wendell: Phobos being too extreme as per https://forums.warframe.com/index.php?/topic/583250-excavation-on-phobos-a-little-overtuned

 

I can confirm that it's easier than it was before. Still difficult, but doable now. The same goes for Limbo Theorem and Stickney.
