I think this BH loot is great. It's no Krayt lot but hey, it's something we can do alone. We dont have to have a group for these nor can we. What do you expect from things were suppose to be doing solo. Dont be a noob.

What, you mean your server has more grinding padawans than full templates?On Chim, the chance of pulling a padawan mission is... let's call it 'slim'.

From my experience, which is about the same as the OP, my time is better spent hunting krayts, high level base npcs, goraxs, maurder cave, random FS on dant. Even had a streak where I had 7 boss mobs in a row and all I got was mando/triggers and a warm hat. So for about 10 hours of work I got smuggler components (90% useless,) bugs, warm hat, marj melon, gazillion bh schematics, and one tape. Battle fatigue healing (Music) +8.

Then coming to the boards and seeing people screaming to nerf BH loot. Good for you, you got lucky and got something nice.

No. What I mean is you shouldn't speak on what you don't know!!!! See how it feels??? Perhaps you don't do enough missions to see that padawans come up, as well. At any rate, if you truly are "an active bounty-hunter," you'll realize that all things are not as equal as they were.

It gets worse after awhile, I've done 90 missions (or more) and the first 20 I was looting amazing stuff, now I loot Jar's of bugs, warm hats, smuggler tools.

I've hit 6 marks today.

1 - no bar - slicing loot

4 - silver bars - 3 slicing loots and one food item.

1 - gold bar - slicing loot - Trigger

I think the hotfix fixed something else.






Funny how nobody seemed to notice what Jhahadir said...

It did *seem* to me today that I was getting less marks that would drop 2 pieces than yesterday (even if one of those turned to be a Jar) and also yesterday a couple of times I got 3 items, today not...

Yesterday most of the drops were like this :

10% 1 item

80% 2 items

10% 3 items

Today it *seems* like :

60% 1 item

40% 2 items

Anybody else noticed ? That said I do not believe they hotfixed it (if they ever did) after the whinner feedback but more after the analysis and number crunching they prolly have done after 24h...

I don't think its changed... I've gotten a few 3-bangers this morning. One with 4 (okay, item 4 was another warm hat, but still the other items were an RIS one-sheet, a trigger, and an ICB).

Something appears to have changed, I've gotten a Jar of Bugs on several occassions, now. The armor schematics do not seem to be dropping with the same frequency.
