TeaBegging Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Ever since DE tweaked the sorties reward pools, with unnecessary junk I have been getting only the junk. I get a slight feeling that the riven mod chance has been altered, as there was a bug that it appeared on the Uncommon section for a while. Maybe the game itself auto corrected the section it has to be in it. I kinda want the old DE back. The one that was transparent and honest.

(PSN)lhbuch Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 I think it has 20% drop chance, so getting 1 or two per week is what we should expect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taiiat Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 no. there hasn't been any sort of stealth nerf. put your tinfoil hat back on the shelf. the three types of Rivens don't have equal Chances though. but total up to the same amount.

TeaBegging Posted December 31, 2016 Author Share Posted December 31, 2016 Well past 2 or 3 weeks I haven't gotten any riven mods. Don't know the exact date but when that patch happened. The Drop chance for me at least has been drasticly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cmdr-A Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Just RNG being RNG. I've not gotten a Riven in over 4 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nox_Terminus Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 In the spawn of rivens existing in-game I've only gotten 3 from sorties. RNG is a terrible drug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DE doesn't use a "real" random number generator, so its not really random at all. Every lootdrop gets it own weight and much more stuff.

IggySnow Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 im not sure. its always possible, but no one will ever know. all I know is that I haven't gotten a riven mod for almost 3 weeks now, playing sorties every day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaotyke Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 You know RNG? Got a Shotgun Riven yesterday, got a Rifle Riven today. 3 days ago I got a Reactor, 4 days ago I got another Reactor. RNG messing with my head... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hypernaut1 Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Ive gotten more rare rewards like catalyst and boosters than i have rivens. Its a rather uncommon common reward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Embrionik Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Since the sg/pistol rivens have been released, I've not received one. Period. I've done sorties every day, and was wondering this very same thing. Aside from terrible riven reroll luck, I thought it couldn't get much worse. I imagine the next rivens, instead of having a drop chance for me, will require me to sacrifice my rivens for a chance at a new one. Just kidding of course, but I honestly didn't think I my chances would be this bad. I jokingly warn the team on the final mission about my current luck, and BAM. Space junk. /shrug. I still love the game. No worries. I just keep farming kuva, and laughing at my horrible rerolls. I should start taking screen shots of my kuva journey. RNGesus and I have not ever really gotten along. -Em Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Levi Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 I've gotten 3 rivens this past week and deleted 2 of them, I think the drop chance for higher items is fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anikj2020 Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Rivens should be awarded more often than 2k endo or lenses period. Dunno why they are marked common when you see 1 after like 7 days or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valiant Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 (edited) Well I know that I've had 2k endo 5 or 6 days in a row. Wish De had upheld their previous idea of stopping 2k endo in a row. Yesterday that trend was broken with a naramon lens. If rivens are going to be classed as the same category as endo it should have the same damn drop rate, in my opinion.

enizer Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 (edited) I have had the same experience, I play the sortie every single day, not a single riven since the "we made rivens more common" patch Have gotten a bunch of reactors(I have 25 built ones now with no frame needing one), Have also gotten a ton of lenses, including many greater lenses(I'm putting lenses on very meh weapons because I cant be bothered to sell them) And I'm up to 57k endo stored, and I swear I'm getting more 4k endo rewards than 2k endo. I even got a legendary core and an more than one exilus. Come to think of it, the ONLY reward I have NOT received since that patch, is an orokin catalyst, and a riven mod. That combined with the number of complaints about this, makes me suspect something is wrong. There's "RNGesus hates you" and there's "getting more gold and purple rewards than bronze ones", and I'm sitting at the latter.. ironically while caring ONLY about the "common" riven drop.

Ironically I've gotten a fair amount of Riven drops, yet no catalysts or rarer drops, also get plenty of Endo, but I still think it's just RNG.

I have been getting rivens at roughly the same rate (1 a week or so) since they were introduced and I have done sortie almost daily. I am sorry for your luck and I really hope your luck turns for the better soon, but it is just that. Bad luck. : ( Edited December 31, 2016 by Tesseract7777 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
