too much splatting down on Zot:4

so past 100 does it just not show up properly in the UI?

I always thought the max number of Forma you could use was 5. Maybe I'll Forma my Twin Gremlins again.

That was from before the UI showed how many forma you put in.

Just curious, but what made you think the max was 5?

Lmao holy poo poo. I just played an Axi defense out to wave 30 with a pub group and we scored 3 back to back rare drops off unrefined relics.

I got screwed out of one of them by server fuckery but it was a duplicate anyway. :(

I don't even understand this. Does anything happen when putting more forma in after 8? Just monkeying with new polarties?

This is why I'm fairly certain that the RNG depends more on some other seed than relic refinement. You just end up in groups where the odds of things like that happening are so astronomically low that there was no way in hell it could happen. Rares that drop off of intact relics happens way too many times in a row sometimes. Not that I'm complaining. I love it when you get on a train of rares.

I think it might have been a mistake, because when I got out of the mission it sent me an email in game saying that my items had been lost and recovered and one of the rares had become a common.

Still, two of of three isn't bad. It's a shame Vauban is both such a pain to get and build and not my thing. Maybe one day I'll get the other three of his pieces. :v:

Also when you get a good team that synergizes it just doesn't loving matter what enemies do or what level they are. We had Trinity Prime/Nova Prime/Nekros Prime/Nidus and only two of us went down in 30 waves, and everyone retained their sentinel throughout. Enemies just evaporated as they entered the defense room.

Well, to be fair, the core gameplay loop is making numbers go up. They've just chosen a different number than most.

It absolutely is. I got 5 in a row once, and when I transmute mods I get nothing and then 3 or 4 in a row.

It's a slow day at work so I did some calculations with my lack of statistical probability knowledge. If I remember correctly, its a 1.5% chance on a intact relic to drop a rare. 4 "independent" chances of that comes to roughly 5.86634% chance that one will be rare(and much lower if more than one is rare) Not too bad. Then to get rares in sequence means multiplying the events by each other. Two in a row = .34414%, Three = .020188, 4 in a row = .001184% Pretty low chances, but this happens on the reg.

I could have sworn that there was just a hard limit on 5 Forma you could shove in an item. Maybe that's just a very historic bit of information​, or maybe I'm deeply misremembering.

The average piece of gear only needs 4 or so (depending on the starting polarities) to slot the core stuff. Once you start dealing with primed mods and Rivens, it starts getting to be about 6.

And what should one do to be remembered?
It wasn't a trade coup per se but I got the entire Slash and Pucture set of mods for free. I do remember selling my two legendary cores to two goons for 5p each back when they had just been released. Then one day I found out there were worth quite a bit more than that.

Excal Prime talk:

You heathens should be ashamed for not utilizing the the true Elitism of Founder Prime and running the Excal Prime exclusively with Braton Prime, Lato Prime and Skana Prime.

Although tbh Lato Prime sucks so badly I just use Lex Prime so I can actually kill something with a gun.

Didn't spend enough for Lato, but I guess that was the right call.

Does anyone know the spread of nightmare mod drops?

I've been playing some nightmare and keep getting chilling reload with not a blaze in sight.

Is this an expected result or just RNG?

Same with spy mission rewards are they on a spread? The wiki hasn't been illuminating in that regard.

There are charts with what planets drop low, medium, and high rewards for nightmare and spy drops. That's also how excavation and defense missions have it sorted out for relics and mods too.

Yep, I'm asking about the spread of the drops within those reward tiers.

EG The Easy reward list for nightmare is:
Ice Storm
Stunning Speed
Hammer Shot
Wildfire
Accelerated Blast
Blaze
Chilling Reload

But no % spread on the chance of those drops. I was wondering if it was just RNG that I keep getting chilling reload or is that the most common drop from that list.

See if you can trade Chilling Reload for Blaze in chat. Also a goon may have a spare kicking around for you.

On the topic of fleecing pubs

I've sold three ayatan valana structures for 30, 40, and 60p. They're mid range and can't be worth more than 10.

I sold a saryn p set and some newbie advice to a fresh player for 125p.
