Stealth No Looters
And then there's People who complain about lies, Damned Lies and statiistics about Bad loot.
My respone to the afforementioned comment is.....: What bad loot???
I think a lot of people who complain about bad loot have always talked aboout the "Did not Carry Any loot" message that came in about 1 in every 10 mobs. I think the worst point of this story came about 5 years ago, when people complained about this and in fact go look over the records of the last 5 years of State of the Universe Addresses.. and right around 2012-2014, the promis of reducing the amount of no looters now have decreaed to in fact a simple numerrical number and that number is.. zero..
That's right, zero, zip nada, did not carry ANY loot... all gone..
so folks, if youa re going to complain about loot, don't complain to MA, complain to yourself..

I think you kind of meant the same thing as my point below in your post via the capitalize "ANY" meaning that if i get even 1 pec of loot it is not a no looter. Anyway i'll post my post regardless as maybe others see things the same way i do - probably not tho
.
With mobs dropping low % of kill costs now, if you get 3, 4, 8+ target evaded attacks the loot does not cover the cost of those "target evaded attacks". For example a 2 ped kill costs drops 50 pec loot but you get 5 "target evaded..." that costs you 60 pec in ammo/decay.
Yes technically it is not a no looter but it is what i like to call a "stealth no looter". while in the end it may not mean anything, as the end result of your ped cycling is what matters, it is annoying to me and it is just MAs way around the old "Did not carry loot" messages - just like when they added frags to the game and said they reduced the amount of no looters - by giving us loot worth nothing (well not exactly nothing but from a TT value point of view .001of a pec = no loot to me).
It really makes a bad run that much less fun when it seems "target evaded" can suck up such a large % of avg loot drops and more than 100% when you get a small drop compared to kill cost. I actually just log out most times as it is just annoying as hell.
I never really tried to determine how many kills end up as a stealth no looter but i think it will be a fair number of the total kills. Again does not mean anything so long as you get some minis or a global to make it up - the problem is getting them seems to require more time now which is not good for low activity players like me.
This was happening b4 2.0 as well but not as bad - i think - I really have not cycled enough peds since 2.0
and before some one replies that i needs to stfu about "target evaded attack" - that's not the only point of my post - but yes i really hate the target evade thing regardless if it means nothing in the end and imo should be removed from the game entirely - my opinion is that it makes hunting far less fun and my opinion on this will never change even if i am the only one with that opinion.
Cant wait to see the replies and PMs i get on this post
- bash away if you must - i need a good ass kicking once in a while!
