Thread: AP3 It's been said I'm saying it again
Your right in that there should be at least some sort of risk in doing it, not sure if I agree that there should be some huge risk in it, unless they want to remove decay.
Easiest way to bring back SOME risk into soloing a krayt or elder is fix armor.90% shouldnt be possible and 80 should be damn hard to do.
As far as sitting back afk and letting a macro kill something, thats mainly because of armor, you'll find all those people using 80%-90% kinetic armor.
The armor I use for PvE is at 67% kinetic at the highest I believe, still makes it possible but also requires me to at least pay attention and have to keep on top of what im doing, first time I take a break for a minute or do and let a macro try and do it, im dead.
I'll agree that there should be more of a risk but keep in mind most of the people calling for these changes dont want to see these things soloed at ALL and that is complete BS, if I want to hunt them solo it isnt going to hurt anyone that wants to hunt them in a group.

We don't need an AP3 weapon, we can already take out just about anything in game by ourselves if we are buffed fully...no one should be able to take on the biggest mobs in the game alone. I think drop everyone to a max of AP 2 except maybe a few commando weapons to go with their idea of the tank killer or what not and jedi since they are using a blade of pure energy...
If we did get an AP3 weapon the rest of the melee profs would be screaming nerf, just look around the these boards, its all, I solo'ed a krayt, or giant dune kimo, we can just about solo any high end mob in the game. we don't need anymore help
The part I really hate hearing is that no one should be able to solo an elder or a krayt.... Um why in the hell not?
We dont always feel like grouping, so why is it at the times I dont feel like grouping I should be forced to take on huurtons or some **edit**?
The great thing in this game is if I want to go solo a krayt and waste a bunch of time for possibly getting nothing i can, I also run the risk of someone stealing my kill but oh well, thats part of soloing. Also if I feel like taking a group of 10 friends out to go hunt a krayt I can do that to and its still as much fun.
Some people believe there should be aspects of this game that should not be for soloers. If you want a challenge you can certainly try to kill one, but some things should have a very good chance at killing even the most prepared fighter. If there isn't that risk what is the point in fighting it? Right now for a krayt or an elder and many of the high end mobs you can just run a macro and go away from the computer for 15 minutes.
This is like saying why in the movies can't one rebel tropper take out a rancor or a AT-AT solo. There are certain things that should be more powerful than a PC.
If you don't feel like grouping that is fine, there are plenty of other things to kill. But having no mobs that you have to group to kill, lowers the importance of grouping at all.
Again people can think what they wish. I do know I had more fun in combat in the first few weeks when a group of 2-3 people had hard times killing humbadas. There was risk, and there was a feeling of accomplishment. Currently the only way the devs know how to make creatures like that now is with 250k+ HAM, AR3, 90% resist to all.
