The Loot Situation In PoP - Quit Dicking Us Around - Page 2

I don't think I've ever seen Furor rip someone a new asshole in so few words before.
I literally fell out of my chair at work.
Today is a good day.

These gods and higher tier bosses should be dropping that loot that makes you go "ooh" and "ahh". Loot that you actually look forward to getting. Loot that makes all the time and effort worthwhile.

For example, I don't think it would be too much to ask for Mithaniel Marr to drop a 55/27 pally only 2hander with 200 hps and a killer proc like a paladin group heal...or shit, lay hands. (He is the big daddy pally)

Or Rallos Zek drop a breastplate with 250+ hps, killer +sta and um, since Rallos Zek is the top warrior, how bout an innate aggro buff on BP as well? Maybe an awesome dmg mitigation innate?

Anyway, any EQ player can shit up dream loot all day.. The point of this to actually put some thought into the loot tables. Make 1 or 2 USEFUL items that are in line with the risk vs. reward and some other marginal loot that is still worth equipping. Make the loot tables in line with traits from the boss you are fighting. I.e. the godly pally sword from Mith and the godly BP from Rallos.

Bring some pride back to the bosses that hold our servers namesakes.

I can sum up elemental armor drops this way:

Silk Silk Silk Silk
Leather
Silk Silk Silk Silk
Leather
Plate
Silk Silk Silk Silk
Leather
Chain
Silk Silk...

And the loot:
Focus item x20
FT item x10
Bow x10
2h weapon x2
1h Weapon
misc melee loot

Didn't you guys learn from ntov about balacing drops by the number of classes that use them?

Plate: 5
Cloth: 4
Chain: 3
Leather: 3

Oh really Sylvos? Were you really Laughing out loud at your desk at work? Did the other employee's look at you and wonder, wtf is he laughin out loud for?

cinfukg agf, unscramble and enjoy.

Zistrix · 12-27-2002, 03:09 PM

How boring.

You figure after the first 3 expansions they could of gathered the necessary experience to populate loot tables in a way that makes it worthwhile and fair.

I think the dev team purposely fucks up or puts off the loot tables until after the uber guilds beta test their encounters for them. After a few months, a shitload of free beta testing and a gazillion threads on shitty loot, they will populate them.

Loot is such an integral part of the game and it would be nice if they actually took some care in placing it in the game.

You're pretty clueless Zistrix. Please go back to killing shit from 2 expansions ago.

When your gimp ass reaches an elemental plane in 6-9 months, the lewt will flow and I'll have another comparison to make come next expansion.

Your bragging about playing a video game for 7+ hours each day for the last 3 years.

NightKid - People of low intelligence always make me laugh when they post attacks of people instead of their opinions. It takes no intelligence at all to insult somebody.

Have anything more to add to this thread than mindless personal attacks?

Always the bridesmaid, never the bride *sigh* Your life story isn't it?

Here I am, running this guild that you seemingly can't get enough of, being your idol. There you are running up your post count on MY bulletin board, commenting on my playstyle, which you also happen to worship.

What's there not to be proud of?

I have a legion of loyal followers, much like you, young retard.

It is not very difficult to make you my prison bitch. This is my dojo, afterall, and you simply do not possess the mental power to out-quip me.

NightKid · 12-27-2002, 03:58 PM

No problem Zistrix. Let's take a look at your statements one by one.

Unless you have VT loot, the loot these bosses are dropping is very nice. Has your guild gone to VT? No, ok. Thanks for your opinion on what high end loot should be.

55/27? You have any clue how that ratio compares with stuff dropping from mobs harder than MM? No, ok.

Close, but still, look at other comparable bps for warriors.

From your statements, I get the feeling you're the average 60ish EQ player in a guild still working on stuff from 2 expansions ago, but feel the need to comment on "high end" stuff. Prove me wrong with an intelligent response.

Schatze · 12-27-2002, 04:11 PM

As someone said before, few have owned so many, so much, with so few words.

Lorrac · 12-27-2002, 05:25 PM

VT 10+ drop tables aren't apropiate neither. I'd say 6-8 slots is an optimal number: enough to guarantee surprise when looting a mob but not so much as to make it almost impossible to get one item more than once.

GDI if I couldnt unscramble that mess, could I get another massa?

Sindaael · 12-27-2002, 07:09 PM

Speaking of loot there hasn't been any good caster robes, besides elemental armor.

The whole expansion's loot table was small from tier 1 - 4, maybe Plane of Time would bring a difference.

Clowns · 12-27-2002, 07:14 PM

See? This is the reason why i didn't buy that POS expansion. I knew the truth would come out soon enough.

...Behold another broken expansion, courtesy of SOE.

P.S. And i know your all waiting to BUY and login to SWG when it comes out right? Lol get real.
