From what I can tell these npcs which also apparantly horde all the loot are designed to totally thwart tanks or even templates that dont use god awful damage. Guys who brag listen up part of why people are failing is the regen and the armor. Its not the specials they really dont throw me for any kind of curve. Its the fact that I am a tank and my fights are by nature supposed to be long and drawn out.


When you guys say wow it took me 15 minutes this dosent impress me most of my double gold elite fights were always 20 minute 30 minute affairs, because I just wore them down with concise aggro break effective healing, and knowing just when to use the appropriate shots. Slow methodical thorough. Unfortunately the regeneration rate is so severe it removes all damage my pet does, and the price I pay for that pet is substantial no defensive or offensive bonuses period. I aint afraid of dieing to these guys technincally I cant I am an advanced tank though it may take me forever to win. I just want the opportunity to win. Not an easy win just the freaking opportunity.

group with a squad leader. problem solved. the squad leader can not help you fight but you can gain in damage output from his buffs. group with more than 1 for added buffs.

same answer the combat crowd gave the lvl 1 crafters that could not check there harvestors. get help.


I understand bounty hunter is suposed to be a solo thing but think about it. in realality if you was to go after somone that is waystronger than you even if your big thing was you worked alone what would you do. either pass on the job, employ help, or attempt alone and fail.

I have had 3 boss marks since pub 24 and they are just crazy hard they hit for like 800 and they regen about 600-1200 health a second. I have had medics healing me the whole time and ended up going through a fresh powerup in one fight. Gave up on all 3 marks each wasting about a half hour of my time.

for anyone saying that npc isnt that hard, and he could beat it with just better technique.... I'd sure like to see that video...


with that regen i dont care how hard or often your hitting it, it still wont matter.

that is really weird cause i have a boss mark a little while ago, and it was the exact same NPC to the T same close every thing...



and i had the same problems, mine was lvl 75 elite boss, i could not kill him ,i ended up aborting the mission,


i was fully buffed, and using all the food i can, i was using a duelist macro but it just seemed to be in the way, my armor is BH assualt

5k+ kinetic 4k+ energy 5500 base, my gun is fwg5 adk 422 base dps, 1.21 speed puped, 15pistol accuracy, 60 bonus, 69 sac, i got him down to 1/3 of his health but he was just regening to fast. and it seemed that some of my shots didnt even register, no hit no miss, nothing it just didnt show up.



any ways i hope they fix this.






I felt I had to comment on this.


This issue has been ingame for about 6-10 weeks now. It's been listed althoug due to the current developement studios ineptness they have further expanded upon this bug. There's been many instances where hit's would register, via animation, although no dmg calculations would take place. This has been VERY common for me and my main character, Jedi.


Some attacks appear worse then others although I would asssume it's a coincidence based upon my standard procedure of engagement.


On an additional note, there's been many issue with CM DoTs lately. After the latest fix to these DoTs there had been codding implemented which inadvertantly caused the "no register" bug to be applied to DoTs and now HEALS! At times I can heal myself and watch the HAM adjust according to the heal and associated costs while even seening the sys spam....although there's no message in the Combat log!! When this happens there's usually an instance where my health will drop from 4500+ to zero in about two seconds as if the server adjusts the HAM to reflect what it should be as if the heals were not applied.


This game is more wrecked then you could imagine.

My technic is fine. I need to completely change my template and it probably still wouldn't help. I don't think you can kill these things without some medic if not doctor or cm.

Everyone that says "Stop whining you noob" or similar stuffs, STOP


There is 3 types gold marks


1) the one like before


2) the hard one, but beatable


3) the IMPOSSIBLE one



So stop yelling about how GODLIKE you are when you beat type 1...

Yep I doubted the difficulty of the new bosses for my first few double gold boss marks, I have now however me one of the nasty bosses,I killed it with a master doctor healing me all the way, even without having to worry about healing it took a LONG time standing stock still at melee range hitting constantly with good damage, I reckon it took a good 10 minutes + of constant high speed hitting to take him down. I actually feel these marks "may" be possible to solo, but it will take a heck of a player to do it, and of course they wont get believed when they do . I think they should isolate these particular bosses in the loot table and ensure they give something worthwhile - by luck mine gave out a sub par set of enhanced powercells (167 damage stack of 5) but most will be warm hats etc. I would suggest killing 10 double gold 82's on the trot does not mean you have met one of the nasty ones.

The 3 types is just what the players have been finding. nothing can be stated as a Fact yet, Even i was quick to jump the gun and claim they are all beatable.


seems like a few have found the Type 3 boss. and these are the ones that no mater how much pound on them there regen will over come your damage over time.


Istill haven't meet a NPC boss mark i haven't been able to beat so my guess is that its a very rare occurance.




I'm in the same boat as you. I don't think it has anything to do with anyones template. I think that SOME of these boss marks have a bugged regen rate. I haven't come across one of these god marks yet, but I want to so I can verify for myself. As I've said before, I've had 4 boss marks since the publish hit and all had similar regen to the pre-pub bosses. I'm not flaming anyone...I just think you had some bad luck on the bosses that you pulled. Don't abort all boss missions you get because you're afraid of the same outcome. Not all bosses have that regen.

well, I didnt watch the video, But shouldnt They be strong? They are Boss Marks right?



You should watch the video really before saying something like that.

There is a difference between something being strong, and not being able to even scratch them despite using multiple weapons, root, kd, etc. If the OP had been fighting a pre-24 Krayt the video would've been half as long, with a completely different ending (i.e. he would've won).
