Thread: Loot Revamp... Nyax vs Corellian Corvette.

If anyone could spawn themselves a krayt what would happen? Poor weapon smiths would have to make every gun by hand because there would be so much tissue that krayted guns would be the only thing people would use.
The way lord nyx is now is it’s not gated by inhuman super mobs, but by only spawning in one place and competition from other players.
Several good points - however the people who can farm there - can farm there while ignoring the droids. Players have been begging for instanced dungeons and with loot. While it will make SEA's about as rare as loot kit pieces, it will stop the strangleholds many guilds are putting on their individual servers.
Perhaps - yes, if players could spawn a krayt instantly (please note - you have to get the tickets first, sometimes a trip to Geo or a cruise round Fort Tusken or NS Forced Labour Camp - all time consuming,means you have to spent at least an hour getting them on average before you go up there) after going hunting for a method to spawn said krayt instantly for an hour they would. Many more prefer walking into the POI's and going whee - krayt and killing it and the two spawns afterwards.
Notice how the Krayt population has increased of late? Many WS's are making many more Krayt'd weapons and they're loving it... finally able to have a mess around playing with things they could never afford and for a while being better than they way. Killing Krayt still takes the same people who killed Krayt before, just there's a lot less hostility and killstealing now (I've seen DJK's ignoring Krayt spawns for pearls when Rebs were attacking it because they know they can find another really soon). Well, at least from most people, those who insist on doing it on Chimaera will remain unnamed.
Nyax is camped by people who's behaviour is antisocial and denies content to others. We've had one guild alone on Chimaera camp the spawn solid for 48 hours at the last count. If places like the Vette were able to draw others away, there would be less enmity towards a bunch of afk looters who've monopolised a spawn.
For the majority of players, the Corvette is a challenge (i.e. hard). You can't afk macro up there, bleeds (if stuck) will kill you no matter how good your 90% base armour is. For the majority farming it for AV's, they don't enter combat. They run around peaced all the time (I know, I was one till I realised how cool a place it is to fight).
Do you see complaints on the WS forums about the Krayt tissues and Gorax shards being upped? I just checked and there were some complaints about stuff not being comparable to the tissues and shards, and how fangs are broken (HAM cost reduction) but the improved availability for these items is a good thing. I wouldn't hesistate to say that decreasing the campability of SEA's would be good too.
so your idea is much better
For instance, if they instanced Nyax right now, a LOT of players would spend all their time doing... Nyax instances. A much better long-term solution is to give "endgame" players more stuff to do, and that includes more places to go hunt where the loot is appropriate to the challenge.
Toss the SBD's on the vette out the airlock, and from the game while the devs are at it.
They dont belong in the game at this time.
In case anyone was wondering, this is the guy who was basically saying, Keep Nyax the way he is, a way for the afk camper to get richer. Please view his opinion in that light, he wants to keep his afk macros going and lord over the universe that way.
