[CRIT] [Loot] ArcheoTech seasonal items don't drop on >= +10 complexity

0

Summary:
The following archeotech seasonal items were found only when farming intel missions at < +10 complexity by non-seasonal characters:

  1. Eye implant: Aegis of the Vigilant
  2. Eye implant: Warbringer's Frenzy
  3. Armor: Sage's Solace
  4. [probably] other seasonal items also available on non-seasonal game servers

Steps to reproduce:
Play 500+ hours of different classes on +11 tarot missions

Expected result:

  • Both AofV and WBF Eye Implants' drop rate is at least 50% of the corresponding Neural Implants. Have dozens of these Neural Implants, can demonstrate upon request.

Actual result:

  1. AotV eye implant dropped only once, during Lacaon Mayoris warzone missions
  2. WBF eye implant dropped only twice, during either warzone / low-level intel missions
  3. SS armor: dropped for Crusader 5 times, only once for Battle Sister, all of them on low-level intel missions
  4. MANY dropped items of these types (not required for high-level builds)
    - Sacred Slaughter
    - Fulcrum of Hope, both Psyker Staffs and Crusader Shields
    - Destruction's Reach
  5. Few items of other types (not required for high-level builds): Unbroken Shelter, Rampage of the Reckless (*)
  6. No AotV Main Implants (m.b. somehow useful for high-level Berserks)
  7. No "Bounty of the Penitent", but not required

Environment / experience:

  1. Game nickname: unixhorn
  2. PS-4
  3. The latest game version at the time of reporting
  4. Non-seasonal game
  5. Five 100 lvl heroes of 4 classes, total 1000+ game hours: Crusader, Assassin, Psyker, Battle Sister (two of them).
  6. Have been playing since Oct 2024.
  7. Total 500+ game hours playing 11+ tarot missions: crusades, random missions, intel missions.

Customer impact:

I. A player might be not aware of how to get those rare specific items => get few or none of them

II. Even if they are aware, they must farm low-level missions which is quite demotivating

III. Otherwise players can't make a sustainable build for +18 missions, because:

  • Assassin stronly requires TWO WBF implants for the Enraged build as she has:
    • neither enough auras, unlike Battle Sister who has three thus capable to take e.g. Power Halberd
    • nor high-damage weapon with channeling attacks, unlike Crusader with Chainsword or him plus Battle Sister with Eviscerator.
  • SS armor is a very useful item for Crusader for both Enraged and Berserk builds. Of course, he can use some good Morality relics e.g. Daemonforged "teleports away from a potentially deadly blow" or Holy "grants immunity to all DoTs", but Sage's Solace is a good choice anyway

Desirable compensation if possible:

  1. Four WBF Eye Implant 90+ lvl with 5 main enchants
  2. Four AotV Eye Implants 90+ lvl with 5 main enchants
  3. Two SS Assault armors for Crusader, 90+ lvl, 5 main enchants
  4. Two SS Seraphim armors for Battle Sister, 90+ lvl, 5 main enchants

Additional info:

  1. According to the seasonal drop description https://neocoregames.com/en/community/warhammer-40k-inquisitor-martyr-compendium I had such dropped items only from "Season 6 - The Season of Escalation" while playing typical (i.e. non-seasonal) heroes. Is it OK or a bug?
  2. A similar issue was reported:
    - in 2022: https://steamcommunity.com/app/527430/discussions/0/4826187053917440078/
    - recently, but for seasonal games, see the comment at the bottom: https://neocoregames.com/en/community/hub/seasonal-relic-drop-rates-seem-off
  3. (*) - there is a typo at the site, "Ramage of the Reckless"
