Talk:Kavat Genetic Code/@comment-26008924-20160716092821

Hmm do people still think that DNA genetic codes drop chance is based on the scanning ? Either way I'm not going to edit this page to avoid minor conflicts. But here's an interesting story:

I usually don't mess around with RNG in any game so instead I'd just buy 10 codes patch for 50p but after I heared DEs doubled the chances I went solo ODE I managed to get 8 DNAs in 2 runs with normal codex scanner. I don't quite remember how many I scanned but let's say less than 20 feral kavats. Then I logged out because I had important things to do then I logged in the other day to get the last 2 DNAs, however, absolutely not a single code dropped till on my 4th run I got one and another DNA on 7th run with around 16 to 20 total feral kavats.

Okey so I was curious to investigate and figure out why did that happen so I checked the wiki, asked few people in game and also did 13 different ODE runs in full group and here's my theory as well as my conclusion:

Around Hotfix7 and before Hotfix9 the DEs doubled the old rate of a kavat with DNA to respawn as well as normal feral kavats, and there are people who actually could get full patch of DNAs in one run with double scans which I find it easy to believe  but since not so many use normal scanner I had to take word from lots of people and they claim they were able to get solid 5 DNAs or more before last hotfix but now it's 3 to 5 or even none per run.

It also makes sense because all these hotfixes came out on the same day which means DEs applied the double boost> figured that it was too much so they applied a new one > broke the game>applied a new hotfix fixes all of them. now I don't say that they are related but the timing is important.

Anyway for those who are hardcore solo or hardcore groups farm they pretty much know the change rate of DNA drop chance from the beginning but it doesn't really matter when they have double scan plus lots of free time so even with 3 codes a run it's decent. "it just could have been greater if we continued to get 10 DNA codes every run" or as I was told :P
