How many of you BHs out there saying, "These Boss with their 30k-35k health are way too easy." are MCMs?


I'm not. I can hold my own quite well aginst most Jedi templates, but today I had to clone {yes clone something I haven't done in months} These bosses are a good fight for NPCs, if you're not running around with a heal macro running. I'm not a FOTM player and I have the same template from pre-Cu (MBH/MP/some FS and Marksman skills) I still have my token respec, and I know some other players out there have simular templates (i.e. MBH/MSmug, MBH/Mcarb, or MBH/MC) Just because you haven't had any fun fighting these new Bosses, doesn't mean the rest of us aren't. if you're not having fun with these guys go PvP a Jedi.


To the OP: Besides why did you have an AFK macro setup for fighting these Bosses anyways?

Totally ridiculous. The Devs really messed up on this one. Since these things are insanely easy to kill and the drop rates are high, EVERY SINGLE PIECE OF LOOT that non-bounty hunters loot from other NPCs will be severely devalued.


Make these things harder. Make them kill me half the time. They should be Level 85 and hitting me for as hard as a MLS Jedi who has me armor break'd. The fight should last longer than 2 minutes. The good loot that they drop should be a reward for a good fight ... not something I got from tracking down a mark, turning on a macro and coming back 5 minutes later to collect the loot.






You may or may not have, but I can assure you that my alt MBH had his rear section handed to him by a high level, double chevron, NPC. I do not have the healing line and for some reason, ruby bliel effects (30 sec Stim D round time) are bugged since the publish went through, so he is really at a disadvantage. If you feel these missions are too easy, go find a Jedi to take down...it wiill be more of a challenge just to find one.


Iam tiredofthe whining of some items getting devalued. I suspect that there is more concern with other players actually having access to some of these items. There is plenty of money to be made in the game. You may have to work a bit more on it than trying to find a one-shot-to-riches loot item.


I do not want to see any change to the way it is just to fit your standard of difficulty.

Please also remember that the boss will spawn for BH that are lvl75 or above, so what you want is for the poor guy that is lvl75 to get hit with something that is impossible for them to handle. Do you thinkit is fair that have to give up their content because you are bored and think the missions are 2 easy. If you want some challenge try going up against the mark unbuffed or on an empty stomach. Try figuring out a way that makes it interesting or challenging for you instead of automatically calling for the nerf bats. We finally get something that is fun and right away it doesn't please you, soyou want to get rid of it. I just wish people would have a little more respect for their fellow players.


Foreveryone worried about the loot prices dropping because of the quantity flooding the market. This may have been planned to help control and balance the economy. If the prices fall enough, the average player that doesn't have alot of money will be able to afford items.Thisencourages their continuing playing the game. It could also help with the afk loot campers, they will not be making as much money - since people will be able to get the same stuff cheaper than the outrageuos prices now being charged. The campers also will no longer control the amount released into the marketplace, therefore no longer controlling the values. Eventually they will realize that it is no longer profitable to run their operations, and close shop allowing others to enjoy the areas previously unattractive to enter.



Well, I left Dec. 3rd and like I promised I came back to give you another chance.
So Sony, impress me with the new system - not good enough, back to WoW 3/06 !
I am back again 3 months later giving you 1 last chance.
Looks like I will be staying, keep up your hard work.

Honestly, you guys are whining like jedis, I agree that these are great NPC missions, I had fun, yeah some marks are not as difficult as the others but I had on with a kinetic pistol doing some nasty damage. Stopping yapping before the NERF BAT Starts swinging, enjoys it while it lasts cause the way people are talking already, it aint going to last long.

i'd support this thread - they are too easy, level 82 max is no challenge with or without CM i don't have ot heal vs any boss mob yet. but with CM4000 its almost a joke, the CM stuff puts CL 90s within range of soloing, one mob at a time with no kiting in the DWB is even possible solo (to some extent - get too deep and they spawn back before you can kill 3 or 4 ina room to clear it. high level NSisters lvl 85 aint hard or rareso there's no real reason why the top bounty mobs are not even upto level 87 - now that mihgt make the other proffesions happier that we get such good loot to ourselves

So far I did 4 or maybe 5 30K+ "boss" guys yesterday, and not once did I incap and I'm MBH/MPistoleer/Rifleman 0003/medic 0020 and I have alot of PVP experience so I was able to manage but I'm not saying the boss guys were easy, they brought my health down close to incap quite a few times. As stated in a previous post, if you have either MCM or PVP experience, of course you could handle nearly anything in game, with my TKM/MSwordsman/Pikeman 0040/medic 0030 I was able to handle 2 sometimes 3 level 88 Black suns and 6+ level 81-82 Nightsisters. I don't recall that I came on the forum complaining that tanking more than one CL88 black sun wsa too easy?

Well, you have to calculate in the time and expense of getting to your mark as well. When you include all that, it's not much different than any other mob that drops just as good loot.

I disagree.


If you want it to be as hard as a player jedi, then guess what?


GO HUNT A PLAYER JEDI.


I found the boss I fought yesterday to be challenging and rewarding; just the perfect mix. If I want a harder NPC, then I will take a group to the DWB.

No, leave the marks where they are. I fought a level 82 boss mark today and it was tough. Killed me once, then I came back and narrowly beat him. I'm a casual player and I see no reason to make NPC marks so hard that only uber power gamers can beat them.

Having fought several of the Boss NPC's yesterday, and today, I can say there are good ones out there. One in particular gave me quite a run for my money. After these experiences, I think the high level jobs are just fine. I retract my statement to make them more difficult. Some of them are quite a challenge. (30 minute fight...LOL)

All I can say is I now have a reason to carry Energy Resis and Kinetic Resis armor. If I'm ill prepared I'll get hit for 300-400 damage per hit by these boss types. They are doable but can take a bit of time. Make sure you have some good stims/biel or some healing capabilities otherwise you may be in for a suprise.

Anyhow, leave the marks where they are and stop complaining please. We actually have something to enjoy, let it be.
