4 anasa sculptures in a row

[Arniox]

Please DE, can you bump up the riven drop chance, I keep getting literally everything but rivens.

I don't care about endo.
I don't care about lenses.
I don't care about boosters or catalysts or even legendary cores. All I want is rivens, and every single time, I get something else. Please pump up the drop chance....

Anyone else getting horrible drop chances?

It's pure RNG, sadly. Although I don't wish to directly bump up the Riven drop chance, it might be cool to add some sort of "karma bar", so that completing Sorties allows one to gradually work their way up to a guaranteed rare reward, but then this might pose a threat to the Riven market, as Rivens may be worth less. 

Funny thing is, we're on the same boat here. I'm also a guy who does the daily Sortie in meager hopes of getting a Riven. And just like you, I've never gotten a Riven, never anything else other than Anasas and Endo. I'm not complaining too much though, it does come in handy when I'm souping up my arsenal.

Rivens overall now have a 25% chance to be earned from Sorties. 

I got 6x in a row Anasa sculptures and than... my first melee riven after.

Yes it's frustrating but this is how RNGsus makes your life cruel. I'm not complain.

4? meh, i got anasa for 2 weeks

The Reward/Difficulty balance is far out of the galaxy anyways.....i rolling the crapTier since ages.... I dunno why im even doin it anymore...

 

[Xaero]

After I stopped caring about the reward, all I've been getting were melee rivens.

But all of them were useless to me.

 guaranteed rare reward

Yeah, DE doesn't do guaranteed rewards. You're better off asking for a system that lets you reroll your reward into a lower tiered one, so you get a second, third or fourth chance at getting something from the common reward bracket.

[KirukaChan]

I doubt the Riven market will ever truly be hurt, thanks to Riven storage caps and the random nature of the Rivens themselves. Just being able to get them reliably in the first place would be nice.

However, I still think a better solution would be a weekly mission separate from Sorties (but with comparable difficulty) that gives a guaranteed Riven.

[Witchhammer]

Blizzard has identified that Problem and inserted a failsafe mechanic for Legendarys...

<insert RNG gif >

I still welcome Ananas / Endo rather than lenses or boosters, Rivens are common enough that you should get them once in a while. Streaks of bad luck just happen sometimes.

I don't understand how people hate endo. such a rare resource lol

Psst, wanna hear a joke?

let me guess.... its a thousand token for something useful and you will get 1-2 from one sortie ? ;)

[AlphaPHENIX]

Meanwhile I got 3 rivens in a week, none for a weapon I want, but I wanted sculptures for decoration purposes.

Here is one of those horrid rivens...

Spoiler

 

A d polarity and minus range...on dual daggers...with more damage to Infested...but also Toxin which reduces damage to Infested...I would have gladly taken a sculpture instead.

This is why we need a token system for sorties so we can choose what we want.

Rebb gave some not so subtle hints that there is a token system coming with PoE. She did not, unfortunately, indicate what it was for though. Hopefully it's for Sorties, because they current system is awful. Especially when you look at the drop distribution. The reason you get so many sculptures is because it takes up more than 1/4th of the reward pool at a whopping 28% chance to drop.

that was something they said during the season system that there was going to be a token system so you can just buy your reward. (also rumor has it that the token system is for buying the new crafting stuff.)

[Miser_able]

You do know you sell anasas  for about 10-15p. At 4 that's 40-60p. Most rivens sell for around 20p. So with 4 ayatan you could buy 2-3 rivens.

Looked it up again and she seems to indicate multiple token vendors may be happening. What I didn't see the first time (because there were no replies yet when I read it originally) and one of them could be Sortie.

okay i didnt see the sortie winky face. ty for the info

I've been thinking about this for a while, and I think because all the Rivens haven't been lumped into one drop in the Sorties, counter-intuitively it's made them less likely to appear.

Rifle Rivens have a 6.79% chance to drop

Melee Rivens have a 9.14% chance to drop

Pistol Rivens have a 7.61% chance to drop

and Shotgun Rivens have a miniscule 1.36% chance to drop. 

Whereas the Anasa Sculpture has a 28% chance to drop. 

I think there's something about having the Rivens as 4 seperate entities in the drop table as oppose to having one Riven category at 24.9% that reduces the likelihood of the Rivens dropping. I'll have to do more research into mathematical chance to work out if this is the case. 

Not that it matters much anyway. Because thanks to the beauty that is Random Number Generation, you could literally have Anasa Sculptures from now until the last day you play Warframe, and that's totally, mathematically correct.

Unlikely, but correct.

still going btw :P let see if i got another anasa from the next sortie

[Fallen_Echo]

An easier fix would be granting players in a four day period to not get the same reward again. That would atleast remove stuff like getting lenses in 5 days a row.

well asides from base lens should not even APPEAR on sortie only reward. they claimed they put in a system to prevent you from getting more than 4 items in a row. so...thats DE thing.
