I took about 20 NPC missions today in about 3 hours. Of those 20 missions I got 3 Boss NPC targets. None of them had over 21k health, and were not nearly as hard to kill as the ones earlier this week that regeneratedhealth too fast and had 32k+ health.

The other 17 missions weren't too bad either. Average health on each was about 18.5k.

Loot seemed the same, walked away with 2 good crystals, 6 BH schematics, 3 CAs, and miscellaneous smuggler slice components.

As far as NPC missions are concerned, I'd say they are perfect save the fact that the Boss NPC targets should have 32k+ health as they used to. I did only fight 3 today, but all 3 were taken out within 5-7 minutes each.

I haven't taken any jedi missions today to test whether or not the armor resistance got fixed. I'll try tomorrow.

Please post your NPC experiences today especially if you got any Boss NPC targets.

How in the world do you do 20 BH missions in 3 hours. That is less that 1 in every 10 minutes. With probe droid time, shuttle and travel time while on the planet, i go crazy if I can get a mission done in 15 minutes. Usually it takes me at least 20 minutes before I am at the terminal getting my next mission.

I must learn this secret...

Been on Mustafar the past2 days getting screwed by loot campers and getting every vehicle I own disabled.

Sorry about that, i was just amazed at the speed at which you had done your missions

As for the topic...

There are 2 levels of Boss marks:

Boss marks 21k HAM or so

Elite Boss Marks 31k+ HAM or so

It is the Elite Boss Marks that are the tough ones to kill with fast regen on HAM

Regular Boss marks have typically been easier to kill, pretty much the same as a 17-20k HAM npc bounty, i usually find no difference in the time it takes me to dispose of these guys. I have not done BH missions over the past 2 days, but prior to that out of 10 missions I had previously taken, i did not get one above a 19K HAM (all were 31k bounties)

The mark before that I got a 34K HAM one (these are allpost-publish 24) (loot was bugs and a Heavy Lightning Rifle)

All of these marks were outfitted with the new AI and to my knowledge had not reverted back to what they were pre-publish 24.

There is an elite boss mark on Lok and has 32K ham with a very fast regen. She hits for over 1200 health each time making it difficult to kill. I watched a friend die 4 times trying.......

For some reason, last night I ran into a lvl 78 mark that had 25k health and his mind and action did not move no matter how many debuffs I dropped on him with my CM 4333. I don't know what was going on, but I could only get him to about half health and then I would be knocked over after kd recovery immediately. This was multiple times in a row... and then death. Probably my poor handling of the fight, and I will not go into details since I am still learning all this. But this was my first loss with a mark, and it was very odd that no matter what I did, half way was as far as it went. I came back to the mark 3 times to see if there was something else I could do, but nadda.

ah well.

Maybe 3.5 -4 hours. The focus of the thread is the Boss NPC missions being back to normal save the fact that the old boss npcs were 32k+ health.
