Here are some stats pre pub. 44 Missions completed all above 31K, diff. 80:


1. 10 CA's(3 Jedi, 6 crafter, 1 misc) 5 of them above +10, 3 above +16, 2 bellow +10


2. 27 BH schems


3. 29 Slicig loot


4. 2 AA's


5. 6 Jars of bugs


6. 7 Crystals, 1 color crystal


Total: 81!!!! average: roughly 2,1 items per mission


Now if anyone actually believes that this ain't rediculous and shouldn't be nerfed....well I have nothing to say.

I think we just hit dry spells with marks and loot. Last night was a good night for me. Four out of four missions were CL82 double gold chevs. Two bounty hunter schems, a crystal and two CAs with jedi bonuses. The night before that, I had one boss out of five and crap for loot. With any random system, your are going to see ups and downs.

Now after publish 22 I spend all day doing missions and get nothing but bugs and smuggler slicing items.


Also I spend all day running missions at MBH and I only get 1 gold chevron boss and everything else is elite, wth is up with that? Before the publish I would get 4-5 of them a day and now I only get 1?

Hmm, I've run more missions than you and only got 3 BH schematics and 1 CA... all of those on the 1st day of Pub 21. Since then, over 45 missions and nothing but bugs and smuggling loot. According to you, your drop rate on BHarmor schematics is almost greater than your drop rate onslicing components... whichdoes not seem in line with what everyone else is reporting. Its true, that some people are getting moreschematics than others... but I haven't seen anyone state that they are getting more armor schematics than slicing components. I'd be interested to hear from you if the majority of your armor drops were back closer to pub 21, or if they are still dropping like crazy for you even now.

I dunno, things have been on the upside for me. I wouldn't be so quick to judge. But then again your game play experience is different from mine.

By the way, do you buy BH Loot I got tons!

Consider yourself lucky, I did 20 NPC missions, I'm a MBH.


7 missions were bugged meaning it showed where the mark was and kept updating on the same spot in the middle of no where, but no NPC was around.


8 missions had only credits for loot, no tiems at all.


4 had smuggler loot.


1 had BH schematic leggings.


So 15 out of 20 missions were total crap, this is very frustrating !!

so far I tend to agree, I got amazing CA and AA drops before the patch and I just killed a 35K health boss and all I got was some bugs.( Which I ate and enjoyed BTW but that isnt the point lol )


it does kinda seem they scaled back the great loot, but ive only doen maybe 25 or 30 missions since the publish so I cant tell yet...

Notice that he means 31k bosses.

Personally I dont see how you have the time to do enough missions to get 44 31k boss npc's considering they only spawn 20% of the time at most







No m8 I don't mean 31k bosses but missions i.e. money offered for the mission.

The thing that gets me is this, I think the bosses got easier. I used to look forward to a good fight with a boss and a good loot drop form said boss. Yesterday I killed two bosses and only had to stim once on each of them, they didnt even use any specials on me, and all I got was reactive plating. I'm all for having bosses be rare, and hard to fight but drop good loot. The problem with the system is that people are gonna farm anything that drops good loot to hell and back and its gonna get nerfed. I'm glad I got one set of enhanced power cells when I did because I'm thinking I wont be getting anymore for a long time. Really I'm just kinda peaved that my double golds aren't hard anymore, that was the fun I had in doing the npc missions. They didn't loot attachments or enhanced cells or casings all the time, but when they did I felt like I earned the loot I got from it. I say let em farm, but have the rates that bosses appear be a percentage equal to the amount of missions you've done in a day. That way people who only have time to run 3-4 a day get a boss or two, and those who want to run 50 get 5 or 6 bosses. Just make the percentage drop after hitting so many missions. The guy who does 100 missions may only get 1 or 2 more bosses than the guy who does 50. It will cut down on the farming so much. One or two good loots in a day from bosses should satisfy people, if not its just greed then.
