Raptor Runs And Nova Systems Drop-Rate Problem

[Majicebe]

I would just like to bring to the devs' attention that there may be an issue with drop-rates.  I know there are others posting about it, but hopefully Gameplay Feedback is the place to have better communication about it.

 

I've personally run Raptor about 25 times and have come up with several copies of both Chassis and Helmet blueprints and of course the odd mod drop, but Systems is just nowhere to be seen.

 

If this is intended, then why aren't all 3 blueprints given approximately the same drop-rate?  It seems one drops about 50% of the time, the other about 30% of the time, then random mods the other 20%, but Systems must be closer to a 1%'ish drop?  Maybe lower?  I find the Raptor fight enjoyable, but after so many runs it just becomes frustrating.

 

I'd like to propose an equal, lower general percentage drop-rate for these sorts of missions, so that I don't end up with 1 blueprint 50% of the time, when I'd really prefer to see more (maybe better) mods or resources for boss kills if we don't see a blueprint drop.  Making the blueprints all drop ~20% of the time would be an improvement and wouldn't feel so much like the "fool me once, shame on you, but fool me 25 times..." syndrome.

 

Just an idea.  As always, such a great game.

I was missing the helmet for a long time. Everything else stacked up in my inventory. It's RNG, not much to say. But right now the bosses drop only chassis blueprints. Nice one DE.

Anyway, just keep it up.

at 42 and 9 atm.

Just a bad luck. I got all parts from like 5 or 6 runs.

When I farmed for all the warframes, the systems were the rarest every time. It doesn't seem like that's pure RNG. You're probably right.

I've run Raptor around 15 times, only getting helmets and chassis =[

Exactly as the post above. Every time looking forward to rewards at the end of the mission, but it's either Helmet or Chassis.

+1 so annoying its been at 14 times for me now still no systems

The sad thing is.... I was missing the Helmet until i soloed the boss for fun... It was probably the happiest moment in my war-frame career.... Getting a rare (mod/part/resource) from soloing is sooooo satisfying!

This issue still exists. It hasn't been addressed in 8 months.

Currently 0/20 for nova systems :(

I don't want to be a downer but I played Raptor at least 75 times.

Back then Bps aren't guaranteed ya know :O

Took me at least 30 runs to get Nova Systems, it was well worth the effort.

years later and still the same stuff

Well this mission seems to be seriously glitched or rigged. 20+ runs with only Neuro and chassis, both solo or squad. This is becoming ridiculous.

The drop rates for thesde 3 parts are: 40/40/20 % - so to ghet a full Nova system, you're looking at a 1 in 5 chance. that's a lot different than a third drop rate if theyw ere equal. I can only imagine this was done deliberately to make Nova parts more difficult to obtain.

It really should be revised to be equal. This frame made me angry, and tired running it over and over too.

the drop rates from the official list
 

Nova Neuroptics Blueprint    Common (38.72%)
Nova Chassis Blueprint    Common (38.72%)
Nova Systems Blueprint    Uncommon (22.56%)

So yes the systems are rarer. Amusingly when I farmed her for the second time it was the helmet I couldn't get, was just swimming in systems. RNG is what it is. You'd need a much larger sample size to determine if they were incorrect.
