Thread: BH npc missions
Maybe I am just lucky or something...But every NPC bounty I kill....I get 1 slicing tool and one schematic plus 400-800 credits ontop of the bounty payout...And a few I have gotten the slicing tool, schematic and some kind food as well as all the credits.
Maybe it is because I search the terms for the HIGHEST possible payout on a NPC...Speaking of which...has anyone found one over 31349 credits...that seems to be the cap that I have found so far
Ibelieve that the loot system has a randomiszerthat gives a certain weight to each type of loot certain types of loot are supposed to show up more frequently than other types, and over time the randomization routine malfunctions and gives increased weight to certain items, such that they show up more often than not, and certain other loot times show up with increasing rarity.
An example of a similar system would be the "random" setting on microsoft media player. My brother has a large collection of MP3's which he plays "randomly" with media player. Over time, the player would play certain songs more often than not, to the exclusion of all other songs. Unless my brother manually reset the "weight" of the songs, the player would eventually start alternating between the same three or four songs, and would occasionally play the same song multiple times in a row.
This seems to be the same thing we're seeing with the loot. On the first few days, everybody was getting good loot on every mission, but in succeeding days, people have been looting a single smuggling component or "A Jar of Foraged Bugs" more often than not. The same has happened with other types of loot, as well (remember the loot revamp?).
