The new kuva missions: DE please don't lie to us about why kuva is a physical drop there

[WereChicken]

So apparently in the new endless kuva mission kuva will be a physical drop that you have to pick up, apparently this is so it will be affected by resource boosters and smeeta kavats......

Except Kuva already is affected by those things in the current missions when it's just rewarded to all players!

DE why not just come out and say it: you're doing this so squads can't easily have multiple kuva syphons going at once without it being a hassle to pick up all the kuva. I mean if you're going to lie to us at least try not to make it so incredibly blatant.

Also if this is so you can nerf the existing kuva syphons so they don't work with smeeta kavats or resource boosters then I cannot see that going well.

I mean this new mode is already looking disappointing considering they've ignored all requests to make the rewards scale and now this? This mode is looking like it will be dead on arrival.

edit: whoops had it as resource drop, not resource booster. Also am fully aware they decided not to go with this, but my point still stands about them being dishonest about the reasoning behind this.

There is a difference between a resource booster and a resource drop booster. For the older system, a resource drop booster will not increase kuva.

Meant the regular resource booster. TBH I always forget the drop booster exists as I'm always like: what's the point, though now they do spawn more fish and mining spots, also do they make more wisps spawn?

One question I have is, did it actually scale with the Kavat or either of the two drop boosters before? Because Smeeta Kavat is one of my go-to companions, alongside a Dethcube and a certain Huras Kubrow, and I specifically ran a few Kuva missions previously with the kavat in tow when I got the blue resource booster, got exactly the same numbers as without either, then tried it again a couple weeks later once I got the orange resource booster still with exactly the same result, and sort of gave up on farming Kuva altogether, just using the 6k packs I get from Sorties all the time.

I may be - and evidently, based on how many people and even the wiki mentioning it, am - wrong, and that wouldn't by far be the first time the game decides to not give me the reward, but I'm just honestly curious if it bugged out (or was plain luck-less) for anyone else as well.

It did scale with smeeta and resource boosters, not the drop one though (that was just me forgetting the drop booster is actually a separate thing)

If you got very lucky with you smeeta I'd seen some people getting something stupid like 4k kuva from a kuva flood.

Resource drop booster doesn't do anything for kuva missions, resource booster does though (those two need a more distinctive name, I know they're coloured differently so you can easily tell them apart in the market, but when describing them it's easy to see why there can be confusion)

Nothing affects sortie rewards either.

The normal kuva shipons are affected by a booster its nit the (dropchance one)

Yeah, their naming is a touch distracting. And, obivously, nothing affects mission rewards in generak, aside from Creds.

Guess I just got super unlucky again with the Kuva farming. Oh well, I'll see if the new missions would work better. Wasting the already-short login reward 3h boosters and packing the cat to not get anything but the 400-something Kuva off of a rather unengaging mission wasn't very fun. And yeah, just looked up to check if I remember wiki mentioning boosters at all, and it does mention it's possible to stack the Booster with Kavat's chance boost, and if you're lucky, another chance boost for some 10k Kuva per run. 25x what I got. I'd want some of that coolness.

Yeah I stopped bringing my smeeta along as the chance of getting the right buff when you get the kuva is pretty low and my carrier prime does a far better job of avoiding getting murdered.

I still don't understand why the rewards don't scale as kuva is one of the few resource where there's already an existing sink for them. After all to get the perfect riven roll it could cost 900 kuva or 9 billion kuva in rerolling. So having a massive stockpile of it's not really going to do much other than mean you've got a slightly better chance at getting a great roll the next time you get a riven.

We would all enjoy scaling rewards, but look at our endless rewards. Are they really all that amazing scaling wise? I wont be holding my breath for kuva scaling rewards, but i would love it.
