The New Alert Reward Rng System: More Fairness For Everyone

[The_Markie]

Since Livestream #8, people have been discussing about the newly proposed "Alert Reward RNG System", and I think that I may have some suggestions to make it even better and less complicated than that:

 

The Tiers:

- All the items that can be a reward of an alert will be splitted into different tiers. Here are a few tiers I've thought of:

 

> The Warframe Components (Blueprints): Including the Banshee components, Vauban components and any warframe components in the future that can only be obtained through alerts.

 

> The Customizations (Blueprints): Including helmets and stuff that are related to customization.

 

> The Special Items (Blueprints): Including potatoes, Forma and other special, rare items,...

 

> The Artifacts: Including... ARTIFACTS (SUPRISE!!! :P)

 

How Things Will Work:  (Read carefully)

(All Event-related, Livestream alerts will not affect this system, as they will be "standalone" alerts)

- Each alert will now give different rewards for each individual. There's no way you can tell what the reward will be.

 

- Each tier will have a probability of getting chosen, those probabilities will be pre-configurated (of course) specifically for each tier.

 

- Once a tier is chosen, then one of the items in that tier will be chosen randomly to become the reward of the alert.

-> The items will have drop rate inside the tier too, or maybe not if you like it.

- Once a player receive that item as a reward, the tier that contains that item will be blocked. You can't receive any item from that tier anymore.

-> The delay for that is up to 24hours (User's own timer) or until more than 50% of the tiers is blocked.

-> Once a tier is blocked, the other tiers will take it occupation in probability.

Why Is This System Better:

- This system allows the items to have better probability, as they will not all share the same drop tier.

 

- Instead of having 100 items cutting up 100% of drop rate, you'll have less than 10 tiers that will have better probability to be chosen.

 

- Blocking the chance of receiving 2 crappy items in a row. All items now are classified into tiers ranging from "kinda normal" to "usefully good" and eventually "this is what I really want".

-> That means if the first time you received an artifact, the next time you do an alert you will not only have no chance of receiving another useless artifact but also the chance of receiving something better. :D

 

- Making the alerts more attractive, more thrilling with real, fair and random rewards.

> You don't have to be afraid if you missed an alert, the reward will still be there for you. And if you can only do 1 alert per day, you don't have to be afraid that you're doing too few because the items in the same tier will not appear twice in the 24h cycle (Your own cycle).

Extra Note:

- The probability should of the special tiers should be really small to retain the balance to the game.

 

Update 1: Changed the timeouts to only apply on specific items.

Thanks. There are some good ideas in your suggestion.

In such a system, time-outs on rewards should be specific to the reward.  It takes a minimum of 3 1/2 days to build a frame.  The timeout on reactors, for instance, should not be less then that.

 

Will need some major tweaks along those lines.  The intent should be to make thing reliably available - but not quickly available.

Updated, thanks for the suggestion :)
