RC19 is 1/4 drop chance if I recall correctly.

Correct it's 1/4 and really that's damned generous I'm my opinion, I say leave it as is. RC is not a core skill, everyone uses it, not just FC.

If you can't kill it yourself there is also always the option of buying the commod as no kill is required.

just seems a bit strange to make rc 19 way harder to get than rc 20

rc 19 1/4 chance per week

rc 20 1/4 x all the tec 22 bosses chance per week

Only takes two characters to do RC 19 though, takes a squad to do Subspace, and Subspace bosses are not 1/4 as I recall they are much lower drop rate than that.

Actually forgot, you can do Red Photon solo now on a properly geared snipper, so with that you can break a Subspace squad into anywhere from 4-6 Red Photon lockouts, provided the snipers you carry are more than just MC fodder.

Doesnt need rebalance, requires to do a content that is well designed, thus some comprehension

RP is the only boss to drop RC19, and has 25% chance. so that's 25% chance to get it per week.

Subspace bosses have 25% chance to drop RC20, which there are 10 different bosses + the roaming peril boss is suppose to have a chance at RC20 i think, so thats 25% from 11 different bosses. so 25% chance with 11 tries per week.

That is the main issue atm I believe tonal is trying to say.

yep a true bottleneck

I personally think it's fine. Rp is a lot easier to do than subspace is. However if a lot of people agree with tonal and Danger than we can add another source... Somewhere.

does i matter that rp is easier to do than sub space with the drop rate ?


maybe nerf the rc 20 to 1 25% try off 1 boss per week as well.

Then RC20 would have a lower chance than RC 19. This point is made moot anyway to by two simple facts though; 1. RC 19 is effectively useless without RC20, 2. If RC 19 is even slightly more uncommon than RC20 (which in my experience it is not) then there isn't a problem as RC19 can then serve as a hurdle to RC20.

In my experience though. Literally none of this is a problem, and RC19 is more common for me then seeing a 20. I do 2 RP lockouts a week and I usually get at least 1 commod, all told this locks out 4 characters, I do a subspace run with team , we bring 10 people and see 1 commod or less usually.

I see no problems with the current system. Subspace bosses do not have a 25% drop rate like you think they do. They have a much lower one.

could a dev pls clear this up , what is the drop rate of rc 20 from a tec 22 boss pls

Added note, if you are looking at price disparities, I will say that yes 20 is obviously cheaper than 19, this has nothing to do with drop rates though. This has to do with two things mostly. Red Photon is a largely negelected lockout, so less runs means less commods on the market which leads to a higher price, and because Red Photon is neglected as a lockout there are not as many people with RC19 looking to buy RC20, so you can typically get it at a lower price, due to lower demand.

Problem with that is there is no way to change that inconsistency without just outright buffing RC19 drop rates. That is poor game design though because then you are buffing a drop rate to compensate for inactive players, if you ever have a boost in active players that content then becomes worthless due to flooding that content and it's drops (in this case a commod) into the market.

So it's kind of a catch 22, damned if you do, damned if you don't. Although, I personally feel that having RC20 worth slightly less than RC19 is the better option compared to devaluing Red Photon.

but that's my whole point ! you said it nicely, less runs less drops = unbalanced

i think you are very wrong about rp being a neglected lockout, the price differential ( if any one is selling ) is because there is a 25% from 11 bosses vs a 25% from 1 boss.



kind of my point really !
