Great fix as far as only MBH getting boss marks, however I have an inquiry:


The way it is right now novice BH's and those BH's with the investigation line of 2,3, and 4 are getting basically the same loot we MBH's are getting. Now I can understand that investigation 4gettingdecent loot drops, but novice and investigation 2 and 3? I think because we only draw elites and bosses that MBH's should get much better loot drops than the lower novice BH's. I've seen it before where novice BH's don't have to leave the planet and get good loot faster. This should be fixed and most MBH's will agree with me. Being MBH should mean something as far as loot is concerned but the way it is right now, there is absolutely no difference in the frequency of loot drops nor do MBH's get any "better" or more "uber" loot drops than a novice would.


Is there something that can be done about this? Us MBH's would greatly appreciate it.



Thanks!

Agree it is not enough to just move boss marks to master. I swear I got uber loot off elite as well, could be wrong but I think the loot is random, not boss mobs dropping better loot.

Last night I did probably a good 30 missions, some were 80 difficulty, some were 78, some 79. Out of 30 missions I got 1 AA which was 14 two handed melee speed, 5 disease resist, 5 carb speed. That's it. Everything else was a mixture of armor schems, and smuggler components. I have backpacks full of smuggler components which I'm not complaining but you'd think out of 30 missions I would get more AA/CA's which really are the red apple of our loots.


I'll try again tonight but I started getting frustrated when I travel 5-6k on dathomir dodging rancors and other aggromobs to finally get to my mark which was a double gold chevron boss only to kill him and get a "reactive micro plating"???? Umm am I missing something here? LOL. That was the first time I actually got really pissed after killing a mark. It seems like the loot on the boss and elite marks are worse than the regular ones, but maybe i just had a bad night last night.

Hopefully they can fix this either in publish 23 or in a hotfix soon after.


Tanks what do you think?


This isn't a whine post, this isn't a nerf wanting post...this is just to tell you about something that is not right with the content that was added for BH's.


When there are MBH's that are DROPPING their skill boxes to Novice so they can stay on the same planet and get the same frequent loot and "good" loot drops, then there is a problem. When there are Novice BH's that are purposely not leveling up the investigation tree to MBH because they can get the same good loot just as well as MBH's, then there is a problem.


When extensive testing has been done to the point of where elites and bosses are dropping good loot maybe once out of 30+ times, then there is a problem. I'm not the only one who has witnessed this. Lower level marks are dropping better and more frequent loot than high level marks.


Please look into this Tanks.


Thanks.

I agree as well. It doesn't make a lot of sense that players playing at BH Investigation levels 1-4 are looting the same items as Master BHs at the same frequency. In addition I feel it is preposterous that the boxes 1-2 can get marks that spawn on the same planet that they draw the mission, many times in the same city!


This allows them to loot not only the same loot as Master BH's, not only the same frequency of drops per mob, but also it allows them to run more missions than us since they can get their mission and get the kill in just a matter of minutes!


I feel that if they are able to run missions close to the terminals, the loot should be adjusted for the level of difficulty. If you are boxes 1-2, loot should be representative of boxes 1-2. If you are 3-4, loot should be representative. If you are MBH, loot should be representative of only MBH. Yes, there should be loot that is available only at MBH.


It just makes sense that MBH should be able to loot better loot than a box 1 player. But as it stands, it is more profitable to be box 1 than MBH as you can run more missions at less risk and pull the same loot more frequently.

I just loved it when I got a 36k ham elite that kicked my butt for over a half hour, and when I finally beat him I got a JAR OF FORAGED BUGS.

Now THAT'S gonna help me beat a jedi!!!

Besides, I don't mind that I get slicing components...my other char is a MSmuggler as you see in my sig...

Exactly. And I'm not asking for good loot every boss mark, I like it when it's more rare that way you appreciate your kill more when you get that GOOD CA/AA. I am asking to look at the issue at hand regarding the Novice and low investigation box BH's getting the same loot and same frequency that us MBH's are.


That's really the biggest issue.
