they don't make GDK like they used too...

hachlings= 78( or 79)

GDK = 81

a joke seeing as its the biggest and most dangerous kimo and is same level as a picket but with 2x as much HAM should be lvl 86 imo

yep, been posting about the BH BS today.

I am sure it will be fixed and all the BH that took missions that dropped +10 Jedi SEA's and Illegal core boosters will be laughing all the way to the bank.

I hate SOE, why did I go from EQ2 to another SOE game..

Not alone. Talk about giving BH's the gravy-train. I did 2 NPC missions last night, +15 tape and illegal core booster. I did aaukan missions for 4hrs several nights and only came out of it with a crappy AA, and god knows how long people have been hanging in space trying to get boosters.

I think it's great, so long as you put other missions somewhere in the ballpark of what's droppin' on NPC BH missions, in my view they just fixed it for them and left it broke for everyone else. But I'm sure they'll end up "fixing" the tables for BH missions instead. We'll see.

Nope Badger is completley correct. I feel like such an idiot for respecing out of BH. Not only that, that level of content for 1 profession is ridiculous and undermines all of the others...

DJM were nerfed because supposedly no profession is meant to solo them like that (even though ranged still could). However, here you have lvl 82 BH marks that are dropping 5 or 7 items at once, all SEAs in stats that are far superior to any of the other looted once, unless you get really lucky off of some high lvl mob.

Necrosis isn't really worth killing anymore, his weapons are 2nd to crafted ones, and the Bane's Crystal isn't at all rare as it once was supposed to be. Krayts are worthless for anything other than tissue, but run 10 or so BH missions and you far surpass the monetary value of most tissue. Nightsisters are a joke, there really is no useful PVE.

Ran Aakuan missions in a group of 3 for an hour yesterday, no SEAs, i'm beginning to think they were nerfed....

The one thing i find strange about this is how the new BH loot tables came about. A dev was doing the missions looking for bugs and realised the marks dropped crap loot so beefed it up.

Now this suggests two things to me.. 1. The devs clearly don't read the forums (and in particular this one) as people have been complaining about drop rates and things plain disappearing (premies) for a while now and 2. (and this i find more worrying) it seems that they don't actually play their game to any great degree. Perhaps if they spent some time on post CU Marauders and NS for example they might realise just how poor loot is right now.

Loot has changed a lot. WIth modded clothing no longer dropping , decent weapons or dots no longer dropping some NPC's loot tables have been decimated. The smuggler loot did go some small way to addressing this but it isnt enough.

Having said all that i am happy for the BH that they got some love , but how about spreading that love a bit devs?

It was Blixtev, he added a few things to the loot tables of the marks in his free time because he thought it was lame.

Now they are the best source of loot in the game... I think he went a bit over the top.

I have asked for some feedback on this from the Dev team.

Schems that only AS can use... Parts to make guns that only WS can use... Smuggler loot that only a smuggler can use...

The only thing good are the SEAs... They don't drop every time- not even close.

Not to mention that BH marks randomly dissapear, never appear, or are white dot non-attackable half the time.

These missions take TIME. The fastest mission you could run would be 20 minutes if you haul ass. Most are 30 minutes or more.

These missions take MONEY. Droids aren't free.

This isn't like taking a mission from a player city and camping it over and over and over, or going to a known spawn and camping it for loot...

I play for a couple hours a night - I can do probably 4 missions. Half of those will be bugged. The other two will drop a jar of bugs and a left bracer BH armor schem.

It's not all roses for the BH. Everyone is all uptight because thepeople who find good loot are posting. These people have farmed missions for like 6-8 hours straight. For everyone BH that posts good loot finds, there are 10 others who are getting crap and bugged missions.

I still PvE alot. Mainly for pride and bragging rights though. I go out and solo as many creatures as possible to refine my PvE skills. I also go after DJKs and Black Sun for loot.

I love Being a Loot Hunter. just take off running and kill everything in sight. Dosen't even have to be a humoniod that i kill, most animal creatures drop loot too. Other day i ended up Collecting a few Klinklilk or what every they are called Adrenial glands. They have the same effect as a brandy but a bit higher. like Rancor Teeth. today in just the Last 2 hours i have done pretty good running around the NS labor camp hacking them to peices. Got 4 Clear Crystals, 1 AA, and 1 CA.

CA:

+1 Force Regeneration

+7 Two handed LS accuracy

AA:

+6 Bio-supprsisson

+4 Medical warfare

+9 Heavey weapon Speed

So all in all i have had a good day of hunting.

I agree that most loot tables are messed up in the game or atleast need some help. Like all the old school loot kits should be brought back, not to mention high end pearls and so on. But I think saying that BH missions are "too much" is overboard. They are actually fixed and fun. I have started to get the tone from some posts -- perhaps not this one that some people are calling for loot nerfs on BH missions and that is as wrong as asking for nerfs of say rifleman simply because they outdamage commandos. Just like commando, the loot tables need to be brought up to a reasonable level, not dropped down in the few places where they are actually rewarding.

Be mindful what you complain about, or we might all be farming elite mobs for CDEF pistols and jars of foraged bugs someday -- and thats the high end stuff.

Completely agreed. Don't complain about BH loots being good - they're actually FAIR considering how far you often have to go for a lvl 82 mark that has a chance of pwning your dumb BH tail. Hanging out in NE Tatt should give you a very good chance of finding canyon krayts, and they should dropgood tissue and pearls.

It's all gone. And so am I.

Oh...my...god. All I can do is gape in sheer disbelief. N/m, not even worth it. Short version = nobody's complaining, we're in shock that they'd do this intentially with the current drop rate and completely ignore most others. See the arguements on DJM's/DJK's for examples and no I didn't use my jedi as he'd get pwned. That was a major time and distance risk, for a far less drop rate even before it was nerfed; due to only MDEF jedi or ranged toons with roots and snares gaining access to it, same can be argued here.

I think the point is to basically point out that should at least be close to the norm, and other classes should have reasonable means to do the same. As you absolutely know this won't last once enough catch on. And we'll be back to 8hr aaukaan/krayt/djk "farming" again. With all that's borked right now I don't really care, and it has lowered prices on most of the mid to higher level SEA's and ICB's, so even if I couldn't jump in on with my alt BH it at least still suedo-benefits most.

I am a master BH (and master pistoleer, Hi there Badger

), and am of course elated about the new loot drops for BH marks. I've only done 3 missions so far and got a Illegal Core Booster, a Delicate Trigger Assembly, and some grubs. It also seems to me that a boss NPC would probably kick my butt solo if I ran into one.

The main benefit for everyone is that slicing components should come WAY down in price, and probably even the prices of some of the nicer skill attachments (70 mil for a +14 LS exp. lately on Ahazi.)

Of course I couldn't help thinking how everybody would soon take notice of this. I hope that instead of nerfing the BH marks (inevitable), that instead outlets are given to all players and all high end mob's loot tables are fixed to have intersting and diverse items.
