UL items need to have a set number of them allowed in game per x players.
This way as the player base grows more can drop, but they are still rare. On Mod Merc per 2k players for example (I have nfc if that's a fair balance, just an example!). So not everyone can have a mod merc, but the chance to loot one still exists giving us something nice to hope for
As for event loots... yeah... Creating more and more events that all give out UL items for prizes without having the growth in the player base to support it is doing no one any favors.
More common UL's means current owners see their PED spent on MU disappear, fewer people buy (L) from crafters, crafters use fewer mined / hunted loots, hunters and miners get lower MU for their loots... It's a wonderful thing to have so many UL items coming into the game! (/sarcasm on that last bit, in case y'all missed it
)
MA needs two things better marketing and better balancing. Those two done effectively will fix most of the issues people complain about on these forums.
Yay, I managed to read it all!
couple things.
hell yes Events r fucking things up.. Too many UL drops from mobs and events. I would say yes and no.
My reasoning is this.. Its not that UL is bad. its the laziness of MA to give a lack of variety.
for last 3 events and MM coming up the same items will be rewards. so that's 4x the same items plus whats been looted.
Good Example POTE armor. Slugstorm. M83. Shadow. Jag. all these are dropping by the boatload.. as well as the Ten edition guns and Arson chips.
Why not make new items a bit more rare or unique that are for events. No reason at all the cloak the vampire drops couldn't have been 1 or 5 of the prizes for the HM. The guns instead of slug, how bout a different god damned BLP gun ffs a marine stalker or longbolt etc. maybe L5 or L6 istead of another L4 or L3, instead of m83 how bout m87 or m91 or redeemer. How about a marcorp instead of another frontier.
I think you all get the picture.
There is no reason that UL couldn't drop but be of different variation and type. Then there is still a demand and ladder of needs. If I have a slugstorm. I want to upgrade. If I have a L4 I want an upgrade for example. not more of the same shit dropping killing the mu of what I have and the gap for me to go up is still there.
And really whats up with lv 21 mobs dropping M83 really.... its fucking lv 8x to use. That should be dropping from a warlock or similar. or let a couple drop then that gun should have filled the Quota for the amount to be in game then another mob could drop something different.
Then we wouldn't see 3x Ten edition guns drop in couple hours on RT
or 2 withinin 24hr on Ark.
etc.
This entire HM event all dropps happened in waves for the items. and it can be seen clear as day. Poor bastards hunt day in day out all the time.. then right when they not on.. several amps, chips, armor parts, faps n shit all drop within like 20 min.. then back to fuck all loot again.
Im sure the pumpkins dropped the same way.
And real nice touch how MA descided not to make vampiric cloak a rare item so nobody fucking knows how many really dropped.
Which was the point of that fucking rare Hof section in the first place.
