Actually I didn't have any loots from bnf since july That's not even close to enough trials to call the drop chance into question. If you get up to 0-15 or 0-20 then we can talk. _________________ Hi, I'm Anil, a long-time player turned developer.

And you must also understand that people are not going to kill bosses 15-20 times on end just to get 1 piece of gear & then having to do it another 15-20 times to get the next one. Do we really need to make this game a farm/grind? _________________ |

7 kills means 7 weeks of doing the boss and no loots. The lockout is 7 days. Are you telling me I have to pay for a 4 month sub to get one piece of bnf gear to drop?

No (Daedalus), I'm telling you that on average, you'll have to do the lockout 3 times to get a piece of gear. I just did it with 1 zerk/sniper/shm/gunner/engi/fc and Im sure you can even drop the gunner if you really wanted to. It's not that hard of a boss, honestly. _________________ ~DarkSteel / Auxilium Universe Map: http://www.starsonata.com/map/ Last edited by DarkSteel on Tue Oct 11, 2016 8:52 am, edited 1 time in total. |

No, I'm saying that 7 kills isn't a large enough sample size to base a complaint off of. You may have personally been unlucky but the rate of item sourcing across all player kills is not at fault. _________________ Hi, I'm Anil, a long-time player turned developer.

Fyi, Jeff is secretly choosing which runs should drop what. When he sees a try-hard noob squad come in and barely make it, he is impressed, and dispenses phat loot.
On the other hand, face-rolling the boss means it is almost very likely you will probably but not definitely not get lewt. There are serious facts behind this pretty much proven hypothesis - i.e., I have tested it many times, and my data is statistically significant. _________________ The fundamental difference between a trader and an investor - an investment, from a trader's perspective, is a trade gone bad. |

(yes it took me over a year T_T) only to have 3 drop in a row after lol. such is rng T_T. _________________ One of the first and proud flight controller. Visit our website: http://www.ef-team.com |

There are many PPS dgs, a lockout for one is 1h. Only a proper "high end" squad can do many pps dgs, noob teams can do only a chosen few. The high end squad can do many dgs so they get more drops as a reward for the more work they do. A noob squad can take weeks to get their burst drops from the few chosen very easy dgs, but a high end squad can get many bursts within a few days because they can do many difficult dgs. When a noob squad gets the burst their strength increases and they can do more dgs. BNF is 7 days lockout and only one.
Lately I've been thinking about making a suggestion to let players choose the difficulty of the boss just like WoW raids, but who would bother to make suggestions here? I for sure would not. _________________ |
