Eienlanzer Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 (edited) We have waited a very long time to see the Fomorian return. With it, I have held out hope of finally getting the receiver for my Imperator Vandel. I noticed that the reward is only an Orokin Catalyst and 200,000 credits. Does it really no longer drop Imperator Vandel parts? Maybe I missed it somewhere in the forums or the Devstream that the Imperator Vandel would come back somewhere else or never.... (I don't know) but this is really disheartening to have waited so long to receive 200k credits and an Orokin Catalyst. May we talk about this?

rapt0rman Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 (edited) It has a chance to drop imperator vandal parts, it doesn't reward you with them just for completing it. You still need to farm. Edited June 26, 2017 by rapt0rman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GNAAHH Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 IIRC there's a chance for Imperator Vandal parts to drop in a Fomorian "mini-event". They are not guaranteed rewards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paradoxbomb Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 My memory could be a bit fuzzy, but I recall the pieces having a chance to be rewarded separately from the "main" reward. So you have to keep running the mission and just hope for the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chewarette Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 (edited) Seems like the Receiver has an astonishingly low droprate. Have 2 Blueprints and 3 Barrels, nobody in my clan has seen a Receiver (and someone said it's a 2% loot chance). If that's true, I have to say : screw it. I genuinely hate you, DE. There is litterally no point in putting such low drop chance for an Archwing weapon on a once-a-year event (except if you just wanna make us hate you, ofc).

AshenOne07 Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 I got an imperator vandal blueprint in my first run. However the parts are really rare. Which is why I decided not to farm it. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBlackSpectre Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 So they want us to run the event 50 times before we get one receiver??? FIFTY TIMES???!!! Cuz that's what 2% gets ya. That's 2 out of 100. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is litterally no point in putting such low drop chance for an Archwing weapon on a once-a-year event (except if you just wanna make us hate you, ofc). It's obscenely low. Making it the same 11% as the other parts would fix this.

That's 2 out of 100. :( Yeah if you want a theoretical 100% to get, 50. But statistic's and probability don't work that way. Unfortunately you could run it 5000 times and never get endo as a drop. That mechanically CAN happen. It WON'T, but it could. Reciver at 2% is idiotic, dial down the Endo drops and put Receiver up to a reasonable rate guys.

TheBlackSpectre Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 I've managed to trudge through 35 Fomorian missions... I used up 11,000 cryotic on building Disruptors and still no receiver. I have no more cryotic, and I can't do these missions anymore anyway. I am so sick of them that I hate them. I'm never grinding like this again. Ever. So you're going to need to find some other chumps for these time limited alert events, DE, cuz I refuse to put myself through that again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You still need to farm. Good luck with that I've probably run the mission ~40-50x and still don't have the final component for the Imperator. Add to that they mentioned that they had purportedly fixed a bug that resulted in the mission not awarding the base 400 endo.... I've probably run the mission close to 20 times today.... in two of those it dropped endo. Every other mission awarded nothing but credits. So I can't say I have the highest faith that the Imperator drops aren't bugged out too. The sad thing is that I actually like Archwing and the way the drops do/don't work in this event make me want to punch my screen.
