Ok, this is a cumulative report here from this mornings BH runs between myself and 2 other MBH's from my guild.


4 - 30k Health Boss missions - Loots - Party Poster, Core Booster, 2 Jars of Bugs

2 - Level 82 missions - Loots - Party Poster, Trigger Assembly, Reactive Plating, Jar of Bugs

4 - Level 81 missions - Loots - Reactive Plating, Bracer Schematic, Jar of Bugs, (2) Core Booster


Is it just me, or is someone doing what I figured would be done a long time ago...


Changing the loot tables back to cut down on the huge loot drops that are coming off BH marks. BH loot drops were raised as a reward of sorts for the bendover we took for Jedi missions. Now, they're hoping to just slide the great loot out too and get it more random. Makes sense, just wish they'd let us know it was coming.

No mate, that's typical loot. You've just been unlucky and not got any nice loot in those few missions. It happens.



As people say daily, it's random!

I have to agree, something is going on. I haven't had a boss mark in over 5 days and the loot off the lower marksare jars of foraged bugs. In addition, the only CA i've looted recently was a artisan expirementation +11 with music enhancement +11. Makes me wonder what is going on.

+15 dbl blade accuracy
+8 2h ls accuracy

delicate trigger

2nd mark
bugs



both were single silver bars. the one that dropped the tape only did 60 dmg per hit too nice way to start the day

Droid engineers and entertainers. Just because it's not a 12 million credit CA doesn't mean it's not worth something.

I don't know if you can run 10 missions and reasonably qualify the situation. I am getting good loot still. Sometimes it takes 1 mission, 5 missions, or 15 missions, or more. It's definately less than it was previously, but I don't have a problem with it.


All of a sudden we had this great loot supply which served to deflate the economy a bit. Suddenly players who couldn't afford great SEAs could because supply and demand dictated lower prices. What the "smart" BH's did was anticipate this, and so they horded the SEAs for the days soon to come, when the loot was randomized better. Things become rarer.... all of sudden Jedi are spending 2-3mil per point of a CA than 1mil.


10 missions isn't out of line at all in my mind. That's only 2-3 hours of play time total for someone who ran all 10 missions slowly. If you looted something great ever 3 hours, and you played 15 hours a week.... that's WAY out of proporationg consdering the newest "craze" is bounty hunting. I would wager and say that there are more bounty hunters now than ever before.

More Bhes because of the respec feature and how they dumbed down the process. I can agree with that.

I remember when core boosters sold for 3 million each--that was the day before marks started dropping great loot. The day marks started dropping great loot, the boosters were the great loot. Then they became "just some smuggler junk" despite the fact that many of you have full damage sliced weapons, made possible by that particular piece of smuggler junk.

Remember, these are three TOTALLY different players though. All with Boss marks and all with similar loots. Two days ago I ran five missions and got two clear crystals, a +15 Poison Resist/+8 Rifle ACC AA, 3 BH schems and some smuggler stuff. Today though, BOOM. Bugs and posters? And with two other people getting the EXACT same things as I'm getting, it has to be some sort of loot cool off. Which like I said, I've been expecting it, but I wish we'd have had a heads up about it.

And yes, there are as many BH now as there are Jedi on our server. Which is insane considering you have to be a Jedi to play anything on Bugfin. It's pretty sad really. They're as bad as the Jedi now in numbers.

If anything they just made the good stuff even more random. The other day I took 4 NPC mission and I got a +15 double LS ca and two schems for BH armor. The next day all i got was slicing components. Its all just really random.

Saying these results were from 3 different BHs actually weakens your argument that there was a nerf. There was a poster a couple replies down that got a very nice LS tape on his first mission today. Guess you should have talked to a fourth hunter, hmm?


Drops are random. The law of averages says you will get rare loots, wait for it, rarely and common loots more, wait for it, commonly.



Just because drops aren't coming as quickly as you want does not mean they are not coming as frequently as before. We all have good days and bad days. Sounds like you got off to a bad day, but persevere, maybe that sweet AA is on the next mission, you never know.
