Sorties rewards... Same REWARD multiple times? (Bug?)

[royandrew]

Hi all

I found something that annoys me. I consider it as a bug. I get only Anasa sculptures as a reward of completing sorties! Today is the 7th or 8th day I get sculptures. I don't mind getting riven mods or something better. 

Is that I am so unlucky (really unlucky) or is it a bug? PC.

Excuse me if there are mistakes, English is not my native language.

Thank you in advance and have a good time.

Same here. This past 7 day week I got 5 Atayan statues and two 3-day boosters 

Someone please tell me 

Do we have an equal chance of getting the Atayan statues as we do Riven mods?

Cause I get more statues and 3day boosters (which I love) than Riven mods. 

I strikes as not just RNG but that Riven mods are more rare than Statues.

I've got more potatoes and exilus adapters than I've got rivens since the last riven drop table update. The number of lenses I have is freaking unreal as well. I think I've only got 2 rivens in the past 2 weeks.

Agree. People should not just reply with "it is RNG", "Bad luck" so on. It is not constructive at all.
Since randomness is based on Pseudo Random Number Generator (PRNG), it is not true random.
And there are seed and distribution factors to consider too.

PRNG is not easy to get right. There are even research dedicated to it.
Warframe being a game, it is not as crucial compared to some other applications.
Maybe it is time to revise the PRNG used since now that lot of portion of the game depend on it, from Sortie rewards, Relics, Riven stats, Hydroid tentacles, Multishots, crits, status procs and so on.

Personally, I feel that the PRNG seed is based on login.
There was once, I got 3-4 rare from Radiant Relics in a row.
The next day, I got 7-8 common from Radiant Relics in a row, not even an uncommon. Changing different Fissure missions doesn't seem to help/affect the PRNG at all.

My suggested solution would be to keep track of the distribution(how "lucky/unlucky" the player is) and add some bias to it(give player more "luck" in the future if too "unlucky" so far), so as to improve the gaming experience.

Strangely, I have yet to get any exilus adapters and legendary core since Sortie was introduced.
I do get few lenses from last year. Potato maybe 1 or 2.
So far I got 5-7 Rivens from last year.
