Just wondering, it might be the reason why a person I know can run like 100 missions in one day. Get all the good loot with only Novice BH rofl......
Doesn't anyone else think this was supposed to be a MBH gift for the changes requiring us to Master BH to hunt Jedi? I'm seriously thinking of dropping to to BH x444 just to run the easy missions and get the good loot anyways. If you don't remember, Novice missions were SO easy.

yeah it is true I am grinding the 10k exp to get my first 2 1/2 boxes of investigation (grinding master bh for the 3rd time) and yesterday I ran 10 missions and here is the loot I got
5x various smuggler pieces
2x melons
1x bh leggings schematic
1x bh helmet schematic
I didn't have to fight any gold band elite mobs either just 2 silver ones. I am not sure that I can't draw the harder ones but it didn't happen yesterday. Since I don't really want to hunt jedi I am finding it hard to want to master bh again but I will because duelist stance is in the investigation line.
But yes I am a master rifleman and 0444 bh and I was getting the good loot yesterday on intrepid.

Well that cuts it, I'll drop BH for the missions then. When the devs finally feel like giving MBH's some love I'll respec back into it. Heck maybe I'll take my Jedi down to novice BH to run missions rofl.

I really hope that comment was not directed at me...I am not in bh for the loot or I wouldn't be grinding the proffession for the third time. Part of the reason I rarely post on these forums is because of the high and mighty people like yourself who believe you have the right to tell people how to play. The poster asked a question and I answered him. If you don't like the fact that he is interested in the loot the keep your comments to yourself.

I think this really depends on your combat level.
My BH toon is CL31 right now, and my marks are of the corresponding level (give or take a few levels). They are only dropping things like Generic Toolkits, Melons and Foraged Bugs.
Although I did get some armor layer thingymabob once. Of course I wouldn't expect these lower level marks to drop anything really good, so it's no skin off my back.

Not sure who the comment was directed at but if I was only in it for the loot I wouldn't have a MBH before there was ANY mention of the mission changes.
All I'm trying to say is I thought the changes wereupdated because of the nerfs the Jedi missions have recieved. Isn't that what tanks said, that MBH's would be getting some nice compensation for having to Master BH (a requirement to hunt Jedi now). Giving the ability to loot like this at only novice BH encourages a lot ofpeople just to take that for a limited time and then drop it if it gets nerfed into oblivion. I suspect people are farming these missions and it will turn loot that was supposed to be a rare drop from a target that takes 15-30 mins to track and kill into another nerf........if you rememberDJK/DJM spawnsgot the nerf stick rather quickly the moment devs saw how many people were looting +25 SEA's.
If the loot wasn't meant to be rare, that's different. But I think we all know the Powercells/scopes ect....they are extremely nice drops, if too many people are getting them through Novice BH they might just nerf it for everyone.

Well am I bad if I Farm/Kill? Eventhough this is the 3 1/2 time I grinded out Investigation. (Note: The 1/2 = when I changed my mind once again to try another proffession mid grind)

It is my understanding that the elite and boss marks for BHes is suppose to suppose to be for MBH with higher than a CL75. However, looking back, I don't remember anything saying that the loot was restricted to MBH. The loot was suppose to be pumped up for the doing NPC bounty hunter missions. We could definitely use a clarification from the devs

Yeah, Novices can still get bosses and elite marks. A member of my guild is 0004 BH, MCM, MRM and he manages to get elite missions and boss missions and he has been getting alot of the better loot. Something tells me this is a bug though, because I thought the patch notes said something about MBH's being the only ones able to pull boss missions. /shrug

I'm just saying when these missions were updated, MBH was the primary concern. I don't think the devs realize that novice BH missions can be farmed easily. I remember doing novice missions and completing those missions every 2 mins lol........completely unbalanced if they aregivingthe good loot. Reason beingeveryone else has to go to another planet and drive thousands of meters to get to their mark.
I won't say you are bad, it's in the game and until the devs say it was not intended I guess we can all assume this is how they wanted it to be.

I've been on this forum for 5 minutes today and have seen 4 posts from this guy. Everyone of them was some form of flame. In the time it took for me to read all 4 of his posts I came to this conclusion: Kystan is a moron with nothing constructive to say about anything.

I've been hi-CL40s and low-CL50s so far during the new BH loot and have only looted 4 of the cheapersmuggler parts. the other 3 missions i've done went incomplete automatically or the mark was stuck in the wall and unreachable.
