Awesome changes :) Does anybody know what time this patch goes live?

Third: 
We have slightly re-balanced the quantities of some of the rewards as we tested numerous Bounties with these changes. Right now this only applies to select items. Plains of Eidolon specific reward quantities are untouched (i.e it could be possible to get 25 x Breath of the Eidolon in a single 5 Stage Bounty or 10  6 Cetus Wisps in a 5 Stage Bounty).

 

Does this pertain to a single stage or in total?

Excited for the changes. Also hoping you guys take a look at increasing the number of axi relics awarded per rotation.

[LuinCeltchar]

Great, can't wait to have PoE mining/fishing leeches be rewarded 3-5 times.

[Coldie93]

Finally.. Getting those Gara Parts are a real pain.. At least it wont be as painful now

[(XBOX)Devin Ryder]

Credit caches should have never been a possible reward, especially such a low amount of credits, and a Neo relic for a lvl 30-50 bounty seems a Lil odd. Isn't lvl 30+ supposed to have Axi relics not Neo? Instead of credits why not a bundle of resources from the plains, and if we have to get relics then please at least put axis in lvl 30-50 rather than neos.

Hello Tenno!

We are making changes to the way Bounties reward you! 

Thank you!!!!

[Fallomarionio]

That's an amazing thing and we love you for that. Now why don't we try this on Sorties too?

[Zendadaist]

If we're stuck with a fixed relic reward for Tier 5 Bounties, they could at least combine the Relic with the Trace to give us a Radiant Relic as a reward?

[Dark_Chroma_Prime]

Will the operation start at the prime time?

[tarfeef101]

As a few people have suggested, I agree that especially given the time length of some of these bounties (defend the vault, hold the area, especially), and the "difficulty" of the higher-level missions, that at least on 4&5 stage, the last reward should be uncommon or rare guaranteed. And ideally more skews towards rare rewards for long/hard missions. 

[Chaos.Blades]

Relics... please remove them from bounties

4th and 5th stage should not drop common rewards. Add a larger amount of a common or uncommon reward if you must to compensate.

Also, I wouldn't mind an even harder level of bounty with even better rewards.

One more thing... You should be able to re-run a bounty for more rep instead of having to wait till the next day/night cycle. Running the highest tier bounty 5-6 times to maxed out MR24 rep count is a similar amount of time sync to an MR24 maxing out affinity or syndicate rep. If you don't want to Fish to max out rep you shouldn't have to in order to get it done in a reasonable time.

Plague Star comes out today? 

Looks like I am failing my exam tomorrow. 

 

-JK, but this is going to be a long night.

This event is starting to become as elusive as an Imperator Vandal rec.

[Zahnny]

Gonna ask this in the Devstream thread soon anyway but will we ever get Distillers for Lens?

Now Konzu is going to be more generous to us, yay

You can just do 1 to 3 stage for High chance.

LOL and what if I'm running in a group and they want to stay? What if I want the standing that comes along with completing it? Again.. in the long run those common rewards are going to be more useful, than the single dose of WOO I GOT A RARE!... a rare that I wont use because I already have several copies of it... yay.

We've been upping our rates on him.

[Gokuofuin]

Not bad... Not perfect yet but certainly a step in the right direction, Well done team.

so you can just speedrun 1-3 stage for the common.

The most important point for me is that lens acquisition will become much better. The lens concept always felt punishing: either use new stuff and don't gain focus, or gain focus but use old stuff.

Will the droprates be updated to reflect the in-game display of rarity? Currently, all rewards in the bounty table are either uncommon or rare, which was is not a problem since only the probability matters. But if the rarity has an impact, it would be great if it was accurate.

[Stonehenge]

A big thank. Good work.

[JadeSamurai]

Maybe we need alerts for PoE, where you have a more difficult mission but a specific reward.

Aaaaand lens acquisition is already nerfed.

[BlackCoMerc]

Late stages should never drop Common rewards. 

The highest tier should drop all Rare rewards.

The second highest tier should drop only Uncommon and Rare rewards.

Polluting the loot tables with useless common mods just sours people on even bothering with content.
