Why it matters
The patch removes two systems players had already invested Kuva and paid currency into, so the forum backlash is about sunk cost as much as balance, and the response from Digital Extremes now sets the terms for how Warframe handles stat-driven endgame progression.
Key Facts
- Digital Extremes released Warframe Hotfix 44.1.3 on October 23.
- The hotfix abolished the Riven disposition system and unified corrections at the value of the previous disposition 1.2.
- The patch set a 75% cap on ammo efficiency.
- Ammo efficiency came from the Riven Splicer item in the Glacial Bind mode added in Update 44.1.
- Forum posters are asking for compensation for Rivens bought with in-game paid currency.
Players on the official forums are objecting: builds built on careful Riven rolls have collapsed, and the ammo efficiency stat no longer allows firing without reloading. Complaints include calls for compensation for Rivens bought with in-game paid currency.
Hotfix 44.1.3 arrived on October 23 and folded Riven disposition into a single correction value equal to the old disposition 1.2. Weapons that were weak and rarely used had carried larger corrections, and the change pulls those down while pushing downside amounts up on builds that had been tuned around the old numbers.
Ammo efficiency, a stat introduced through the Riven Splicer item from the Glacial Bind mode in Update 44.1, is now capped at 75%. One shot in four consumes ammo under the cap. Forum posters are debating compensation for Rivens bought with in-game paid currency, opposition to the nerfs, and what unlimited firing did to the game.
