Whats up with the huge lack of null fuses all of a sudden? Ever since the weekly that required cloning pods was over and drop rates were readjusted, I have only gotten 1 null fuse in 40, 50k arti pulls. This is a *HUGE* colossial joke, considering we get 5, 10 virus and firewall traps a pull.. It doesnt make any sense in gameplay. The big longtime players have a billion null fuses, so this doesnt make any difference to them, but for the smaller guys, this is a huge huge problem.
The traps' effects last 2 hours, so they can not do NPC's or PVP's for 2 hour chunks at a time. Considering every other player has a virus trap set, it's crippling to try to play Galaxy Legion anymore.

the drop rate hasn't changed, its the same for every artifact, it just depends how high your AP is and these things are very cyclical. Also you may want to hoard them for a little while and then go on a run, might save you a bit of a headache.

Yeah I haven't noticed a drop. I still get them pretty regularly. It's possible that since the time you quoted your arti income has gone up, so you are collecting when you have more artis to draw from, slightly lowering the odds of getting a fuse. At that points it's just rough luck

i used to get 2 or 3 per drop. now i have to wait for my arti storage to max out before doing a pull, and I only get one null fuse in the entire pull. This has occured consecutively. Its definitely different from before, and seemed to happen after the cloning pod drop rate was altered for the weekly mission

The cloning pod drop was never changed.

It's a psychological trick. You know how you can never find something unless your not looking for it? It's because your looking for it, the drops seemed higher at other times.
All artifacts are weighted evenly. Some artifacts are more common as they have fewer points, and are valid drops for longer. This does not change.

Said it once, say it again, no drop rate has changed. Get your ap up and you'll get more of each artifact. The only thing that changes is whether the rng likes you or not when you make an art pull, and that pretty much determines whether you get 5 durt brackers or 3 msp's in your shipment.

Every claim click has an equal and random chance of drawing any artifact that you have sufficient points for. I don't feel like adding it up again, but the total AP cost of one of each possible artifact is something like 94,000. So if you draw 94,000 points worth of artifacts (always staying over 20,000) you can expect over repeated trials to get one of each artifact. Due to the randomization, though, you might get bunches of one particular artifact this time, and none the next time. The last time drop rates changed was when Null Fuses were introduced to the pool of artifacts. Instead of having a 1:59 chance to get a particular item, it became 1:60 (assuming over 20k points to claim).
