i havnt got a tech outta the flame queen in a LONG time. shit... i havnt even gotten a flame avalanche in awhile...

since they are they boss mob of a cave/dungeon, they should be gauranteed to drop atleast one tech.


oops...ment to post as a poll but got carried away and pressed submit before i could...

Strange, I just did a few runs today and yesterday, I got like 3 techies. Flame avalanche drops all the time - I got a four slotted one like 2 days ago.

I got 50 (yes exactly on the number-was going for that count) in two days. As much as I hate (and am pissed off) looting a strong mob and seeing crap ass items in it, the drop rate is good if you consider the items you want are "rare".

as someone said rares arent rares anymore, they're requirements of high lev pvp and therefore tbh there common as muck however lob they take to find

Nothing in neocron is 'rare' maybe mc5 chips but that is it.
Rares are 'needed' for pvp so why not up the drop rate?

Indeed. Rares shouldn't and aren't rare. Get over it.

Rares also suck atm but thats another thing alltogether.

Boss mobs should drop their weapons every time.

The two days - if you combined them together - 10 hours. You need to put a little effort. They aren't called "rare" for nothing.

they are not rare, when EVERYONE has atleast 1-3 of them.

and besides...10 hours is WAY to long

Well, what can you do, some people just want everything for nothing.

As i suggested many times - make rare parts shop buyable - 10 NC for lowtech, 20 NC for tech and 30 NC for expensive parts. And even then there will be people who moan that the prices are too high.. :lol:

50 my fucking ass i hunted with my spy on uranus for 4 straight hours killing 60+ wb's and 25+ wb titans and i got 4 slow techs and 1 tech, it may of just been a bad night for me but it demoralised me to no end, if i where a mid level player trying to earn some decent money off techs i would be mightly pissed off, i mean i earned about 150k after ammo and the costs incured by dieing :D but i could of easily earned 500k + in caves if i did 10+ runs in 4 hours.

Its incredibly hard for MID LEVEL spys to kill anything but wbs becuase grims hav such a long range, even when i got my redeemer grims where too hard because i ran out of room to keep backing away and using the scenery to block its fireing arm is too risky becuase even with a medium fire belt on one grim hit almost kills me >_< and even then they drop really bad loot, doomreapers drop much better loot but they are nearly always surrounded by other mobs :(

plz up drop rates a little, i wouldnt mind if it was 1 in 3 or even 1 in 4 but at the moment its just plain stupid.

tons=3?


today on pluto i fianlly got enough techs to make a CS. WOOHOO.. i waited a few hours for glyc to come on and we went to a factory. he had like 250 cst 120 int and 120 dex, those arnt the exact numbers but maybe only 2-3 off.

it comes out as 1 slot. so now i basically just wasted HOW LONG? all the time it took me to get those parts..and all the money? considering each CS part is 500k?

this to me is not fun, and TBH im considering leaving the game. most of them asked me to sleep on it and dont quit, but im not having fun doing this WORK for nothing but pain and agony.


if things dont shape up soon im outta here...i dont care if just me leaving isnt enough to get it through KK's head that alot of people arnt having fun in this game, and the only things keeping those people here are there friends, but soon thats not going to be enough to hold them here.

BlackDove
07-09-03, 04:59
WB's rarely give any rares. They're not your average rare hunting target. You need something of a higher level to pull rares - and that something is either a persecutor or a chaser. I can solo 3 warbots alone. Hence why they drop shit to me.

lets clear somthin up for u constructors and/or ppl who think higher is better for slots.

basically nothing over 200 is going to make any diffrence. /// INT & DEX has only a tiny part to do with slots, it mostly affect the quality of the item.

slots werent as rare as they are now as they were before the patch where they made it so u could just click start & it would drag everything in. why? because when u do this, its just throwing them in, random order parts. putting the parts to ur item in order from 1 to 10 after the tool, then bp, will help the chances of slots.
^ which is how i made a 4 slot TL22 pistol with only 60 construction 30'ish INT & DEX & a TL55 tool. the quality wasnt even capped, but hey, its a 4 slot so that can be fixed.

GL to all u constructors with ur new found wisdom & im sry to all u constructors that are too lazy to put all the parts in:p :D
___________________________________________________

but yeah, drop rate badly needs an increase in mobs

KidWithStick
07-09-03, 05:07
mr friendly, your half right.


for non rares, the lower the lower TL of cst = better.

for rares the higher cst tl = better.

if you had a capped dex and capped int cster with only tl 100 cst, he would make a better TPC than a 250tl cster with 100 int and 100 dex. (slot wise)

thats why if you go up to those high tl cst'er like roe, moofausa, zai, and glyc, hand them a tl 3 heal, theyll hardly get any slots.

No need to be sorry, that's just another myth.

With only 60 constructs you are far away to be able to make ANY viable statistical analysis. ;)

However, i hope people go on with spreading such myths. The best one i heard so far was - you need to have EXACTLY 145 in the REPAIR skill to get the most slots. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Please give me more of this!

Thanks, i got more.
Just to remind you what THANATOS quoted - a long time ago - "the chances for slots are determined ONLY by the final quality of the item"..

hmmmm.....

Boss mobs drop % for tech parts is lower than the drop % for the unique item they drop, ie;

Malfuntioning Stormbot: 3% on lasers, 1% on TP's
Chaos Queen: 4% on FQA spells, 1% on TP's
Scorpion Queen: 4% on Titan armor, 1% on TP's
Blood Viper King: 4% on armor, 1% on TP's
Bat Queen: 1%+1% drop rate for bones, 1% drop rate for Tech parts
the other boss mobs have similar drop rates for their unique items, all there TP drop rates are 1%, tho...

Warbots: 3% drop rate on TP's
Doomreaper: 2% drop rate on TP's
Hoverbots: 3% drop rate on TP's
Grims Chaser and Persucutor:4% drop rate on TP's
Y-Rep commander: 4% drop rate on TP's
Hazard Worm: 4% drop rate on TP's
MC5 security officers: 4% drop rate on TP's
MC5 commander: 5% drop rate on MC5 parts

btw, that percentage is the percent of "each" mobs' total drop afaik.....

IE; Blood Viper King:
60% "unknown" or ignored or something....:confused:
40% chitin, glands
4% Viper King Armor
1% Tech parts

yeah, it don't add up to 100% and it might be a little hard to interpret, I'm not sure how to interpret it, I just know some mobs have higher percentages than others...

I would say the 1% probabilty is not the TOTAL probability, but the probability per item.
Usually high level mobs drop ten items (two full rows), therefore the probability for a Tech part drop should be 1 - 0,99^10, which is 9,56% for one (or more) Tech part(s), which is FAR ENOUGH. :p

Style
07-09-03, 22:08
eric, you have i see 5 cap charecters? i can only bare to cap the one charecter... for one, its very long and a big treadmill. and for two, i dont wana spend this long time it takes o cap a charecter killing mobs, and then when i do cap, have to kill mobs a further how long just to get me a weapon so i can pvp

i dont want nothing for nothing. bu it should take around 4 hours of killin mobs, then you will have enough techs parts to go trading and sochilizing (as this game is a rpg) not 4 hours and gettin a tech part afer 10 kill, i talkin a tech part every 2 -3 kills

players like me can not even get a rare weapon fast because i dont join the biggest clans around where i get stuff given to me

thats how the drop rate should be

the system has been adjusted to players who are in big clans and kill mobs an awful lot

grit teeth for 3-4 weeks on end is NO fun!

what i try to say is, you must find it fun killing mobs as much as youdo to defend the system as the way it is, but just ebcause you find it fun, others find it grit teeth (frustrating)

if the drop rate was more, then you shouldnt complain because you will be have fun anyway

Style
07-09-03, 22:15
just because you find it easy to get stuff i dont, and im sure others find it very hard to get a rare, to defend the system is selfish

i be back with this game for almost a week, i went out for 3 hours to kill mobs, and gained no one tech part solo fire mobs

i thought ok, i go with friend clown boat to hunt warbot, but i can only hunt when he on

so we gone on 3 warbot hunts for 1 - 2 hour past week, and we get 4 tech part between us

that is not good :(

i feel like stop playing because this gone take month or more

question my self is this worthit

Well I can agree that the drop rate is extremely random. I went hunting 2 times on friday, once mid day, and another time at night. The first hunt my friend and I hit WBs and WBTs and got 3 techs and 1 implant from about 20 kills. I got the 3 within the first 3 kills and the implant on the fourth. After that, nothing, not even decent junk to recycle into ammo and Psi boosters.

Second hunt with clan leader. We drop our Combat ranks by GRing, and hit WBs and WBT with capped energy halos. It was a better drop rate, but just a bit. 30+ kills we got 8 techs and 3 implants. BTW, the lower combat rank thing doesn't work cause we switched to our higher TL spells and got same drop rate.

***My Opinion on Drop RATE****
I have gone hunting for rares a lot lately and here's what seems, to me, to affect drop rate:
-You have to cause at least your % of dmg (ie 3 person team, 33% of the damage)
-You have to hack the bot within first 3-4 tries
-If your ranks is over 50 (combat or overall) you have to hunt fire mobs cause WBs will drop nothing for you (that's why we tried to lower our combat rank :) )
-I think that once you drop about 5-10 with no drops at all, switch zones, hunt somewhere else I always resume drops after that and can get around 20-30 parts in 4 hours by doing this
-Erm what else?? Pray a bunch while that .325 milisecond lag is going on while you are seein what's in the WB

I reserve the right to completely 100% wrong on this, but this is what works for me. Good luck on ur drops.

**EDIT** But sometimes the drop rate is crap, so I would like to see it stabalize.... if not, give it a bump up so on the times when it is good, we'll get enough to make up for the no show drops.

what do you mean helen? atacking the system is selfish?

the people defending the system are the selfish ones because only they can get a rare with ease because they love to kill mobs lots

up the drop rate and everyone will stand a chance

not just the people who love to kill mobs all day

so how am i the one being selfish asking the system where everyone stands a chance with gettin a rare with ease

its just like you attackin the old runner loot bag when i stood a chance of getting a rare with ease

thas all i used to do, and then the tech rate system got made so it hard to get a rare
then i was totally screwed

takin away the system i found it easy to get a are then adjusting it so its even more harder for people who dont like killin mobs is very selfish, kk could have made it half way, but no, they make it so you have to kill mobs 24/7 to get one within a week

-If your ranks is over 50 (combat or overall) you have to hunt fire mobs cause WBs will drop nothing for you (that's why we tried to lower our combat rank

This is NOT true. I've hunted wb/wbt's on 3 seperate occassions this weekend in the same area. I've pulled 4 tech parts, a few vehicle 10's, and 1 lvl 3 imp outta 10-15 wbs total.

My current rank btw is 55/67.

Since hybrids have been nerfed, most runners will never get close enough to a warbot's rank to affect the drop that negatively. In fact I was getting better loot out of wb's then I was out of the few decayed brutes and horrors I also bagged.

I've been recording the time of day ingame and in RL each time I kill a wb or wbt. I've got about 25 or so already logged. I've got a theory about tech part availability but so far it doesn't look like it'll pass.

I think we're just dealing with a straight percentage chance for a drop of a given item type.

im not a leet talker as you are trying to make out, so please stop talking with your judgements

if the droprate is made higher, it would not have an effect on you, or anyone else in this game, it would simply make it more fun

this game should be handed back to the people who play this on a average basis for fun, not for frustration which i get when i play this killin mobs, and many other people i spoke to about this

your trying to make out that im like the only one who is against this system because im the only one making a point

but there is many who would prefer higher drop rate, and that many kk should make happy because the people defendin the system should not be effected by the change

so why the hell do you even make a post defending this system bcause it would have no effect on you whatso ever

[EDIT - i wasrank 39 when i was killin grim chasers and not a single tech part, rank does not effect anything

Drop rate is random. Early in the morning when their aren't much people on the server, I went hunting a few days ago. I went to cycrow. Started chatting with some people on OOC while hunting. I hunted for 30 minutes and got a large number of parts. It was quite a find. That's not the good part, the good part is 99% of them were excellent parts. I got a pain easer part, cs part, 2 holy antibuff parts, disruptor part, etc....

Enough with the ego already, I never specified you, love. :rolleyes:

My point is this:

Stop moaning about how the drop is so poor because _you_ aren't getting any rare parts. It's a pathetic argument. For every one person complaining about a "shit" drop rate, there's another one enjoying an excellent drop rate (Although, having said that, the ones who get a "shit" drop rate are also the same people who seem to lose seven hundred dozen tech parts in a rollback :rolleyes: ).

I haven't passed an opinion on the subject itself yet, so as I said earlier....enough with the damn ego stroking and stop thinking I'm on about you.

i notce helen is trying to point out that its only you, but its not. its me also, alone with half the server.

yes its true, half the server wants the old droprate back, while the other half wants to keep it...however the half that wants to keep it are not going to leave the game if it gets changed back to how it used to be.

now as for the people who want it changed, im willing to bet that atleast HALF of that half, so 1/4th the server, will leave the game because they begin to lose the fun value and begin to realize its to much work to get a good item for just being A GAME thats made to have FUN

Blood Viper King: 4% on armor, 1% on TP's
Bat Queen: 1%+1% drop rate for bones, 1% drop rate for Tech parts
the other boss mobs have similar drop rates for their unique items, all there TP drop rates are 1%, tho...

Warbots: 3% drop rate on TP's
Doomreaper: 2% drop rate on TP's
Hoverbots: 3% drop rate on TP's
Grims Chaser and Persucutor:4% drop rate on TP's
Y-Rep commander: 4% drop rate on TP's
Hazard Worm: 4% drop rate on TP's
MC5 security officers: 4% drop rate on TP's
MC5 commander: 5% drop rate on MC5 parts

In practical actuallity - sorry to say - but this doesn't help anyone.

The only way you're gonna get a forseenable amount of the rare drops, is if you take every aspect that matters for that subject, into consideration. Since you're not the one who coded the game -and don't have access to the mathematical files which are used to generate the in-game drop rate (it's not just the percentage that defines what'll be dropped) - the above means absolutely nothing. It is even questionable of how correct it is. And yes - even if the GM said the above, it can still be wrong (just like the hybrid nerf).

Increasing the "drop rate" means changing things not only in percentages, but in basis - the drop rate of every monster, and what they drop. Coding that, and coming up with a good-end result which can't be exploited = pain in the ass. The one so far is complex enough (for me at least - since I don't have all the information on how many factors are EXACTLY effecting the drop rate - I'm assuming four - but there can be more) that I can't understand it - so even if they don't drop a godly amount of rares - I still love the coders because they actually managed to make it work in order to drop "not-too-much-not-too-little" amount of rares.

@Halen - easy to pick on the verbally challenged - find someone who can use their language skills - and then have a sarcastically imploded conversation. Flame bating and deep-core explaining to people who use their primitive regions of the brain to communicate makes you look like an intelligent twelve year old on crack (< my view on things - my opinion - others may agree or disagree).

Yep, and that two day period (thankfully) wasn't enough for people to find exploits.

I found one. I'm not using it (no need for it - I'm in the =SSC=, you just yell a rare's name and the next message is "where do you want to meet") - and I'm not telling anyone what it is, because everyone would end up with a huge amount of rares. As soon as I can certifiably pinpoint the exploit - I'll be sending an e-mail to KK for them to close the gap.

Your point is moot.

Rares aren't rare because they're a neccesity.

Until they make non-rare weapons that are fairly viable for PvP and make it so the person with the rare doesn't win 99% of the time; then you can say... Well, Rares are supposed to be rare.

Originally they were supposed to give a slight advantage in PvP, now they are PvP.

Up the rate so weapons are cheap again, then people won't be so damned pissy when they die and lose (insert name here), or even if their app gets wiped or they get glitched, they can go back out and refurbish their new cabinets with ease.

When the amount of parts get upped with all the new rare stuff thats slated to come out, it'll just take longer for the person who can average 1 to 2 hours a day playing to get what they want.

All of which detracts from the entertaining bit of the game... which of course is the *cough*social interaction*cough*.

The people that are enjoying your so-called excellent drop rate, are the people who spend 4 to 8 hours a day farming tech parts, and then spend another couple of hours spamming trade channel selling them for 200k+ or want 2 for 1 trades....
Then when they see a thread like this, their the first ones to start yelling, NO, NO, the drop rate is fine......

I work a full time job and get a limited amount of time to play, so I don't have hours of free time to play, and besides, after playing for over a year and leveling more than a few characters, I can't be arsed in doing the kill, loot, rinse and repeat routine for more than a couple of hours, it gets kinda boring.....



I haven't passed an opinion on the subject itself yet, so as I said earlier....enough with the damn ego stroking and stop thinking I'm on about you.

Maybe you haven't passed opinion on the subject, because your to busy trolling, flaming, criticizing and launching personal attacks on people, do you even play this game, your paying for?
I can't remember the last time you've had something constructive to say, or any worthwile input on any thread here.

I happen to agree with Style and Kid, some of us just don't find playing pokecron entertaining or recreational, there's better, more fun things to do in this game, than to hunt mobs for days on end....

How so?

People will be willing to engage more without fear of losing their prized weapons or spells.

Noobs will be comparitively safer because many more than the current will be willing to rally to their defense.

OP battles (on jupiter, and assuming it gets brought over.) and fights in anarchy zones will be that much more glorious because people won't fret about items.

-

Weapons won't cost 10 million because it has 5 slots and is in demand. People won't be asshats and try to steal your weapon when you get it repaired... or try and steal the parts when constructing...

Just because it would topple the advantage you seem to gloat about doesn't mean its wrong.

EDIT - If you consider the buying and trading of tech parts as social interaction... well... *cough*

It did happen back when the loot rate was what I consider *normal* and it would still happen if it gets brought back.

Listen man,

I'm glad you have all your little friends ingame who you can rely on. I'm glad you can spend alot of time playing simply to get parts.

But the simple fact is, there are alot of people that are lacking on both terms. They don't have friends with vast pools of resources and they don't have the time.

They can't compete and get weapons in the same manner you can. By keeping the rate as it is, you simply hold them back, or force them to conform by joining a guild/clan soley to have backing.

Now how can someone who lacks those two seemingly important things compete against someone who does? They can't! For them, if they lose the weapon they just spent weeks trying to get due to some glitch or asshat - guess what, they're not going to spend more time trying to get that item again.

How many leaving threads have been because "ONOZ! MY ZSSTUFFF!!1"?

Lots.

i find it curious that a once notorious "PK" would complain that the drop rates are too low. well, not curious, just ironic. as i recall, PKs got very upset and then largely disappeared as a result of the changes to what players drop when they die (i.e. we no longer drop anything of significant value, and often nothing at all).

way back when, it was possible to get all the weapons you needed by ganking other players who were in the midst of fighting mobs for, you guessed it, tech parts. there were more parts dropping back then, and a good thing too since you stood a very good chance of losing your weapons to a PK at any time.

these days that's hardly a problem. the irony is that folks who farmed players, rather than mobs, for "rare" weapons are now complaining they have to go out and work for those weapons. and, you guessed it again, they don't appear to have access to a large network of other players who are willing/happy to help them out since shit has a way of clinging long after it has been wiped away.

in actuality, you don't need to be in a big clan, you just need to spend a good deal of time being nice to other folks, being active in your faction, and getting a modest amount of stuff for trading. can work wonders my friend.

on topic - i DO feel drop rates might do with increasing just a wee bit. more importantly, i feel that drops should be "fixed" with regard to the fact that although parts from every rare do drop, certain parts from certain rares seem to be much scarcer than others.

Very nice you're sympathetic, but I'm not. I'm one for the "all work and then play". And FYI, I still haven't lost any of my important stuff because I am actually smart enough to manage it through that one first slot with a lock in it. If I lose any/all, I'll just go back from the bottom and work my way up. The actual - beauty - of this game (for me) is the leveling/rare-finding/going-through-a-hassle-and-winning-in-the-end -part of it. Once you are capped and have everything you need - the only apparent fun in the game is PKing, and after that every "average gamer" calls you an asshole.

Yes, I am very lucky to be in my clan, but then again I always thought that the point of this game was social interaction, and that a big part of the game were - you won't believe this - CLANS! Same like jobs in real life - that's how you - get stuff.

Because he or she also pays the same fee you do to enjoy the world ReaKKtor provides. Anyway, the more rares you have the more of a corner you have on the market.

There is no market if the rare drop increases. The only actual rise will be when the whole thing starts off - everyone trades - BAM market closed -"I'm going to get my own rare parts now, that's easy, and it saves me the hassle of having to be friendly in an alternate world which is trying to be as realistic as possible".

The market won't belly-flop. The market was fine when you didn't need millions upon millions to purchase a rare with 3+ slots. People did harvest rares, and people still purchased them and traded them because like now (though not as often as before) people were too lazy to go out and farm more than neccesary.

Can't believe we returned to the point. Kudos.

Yes, in your opinion the problem is "not everyone can play X (< small number) amount of hours to gain X (< being a large number) of rares, and they should because not everyone is able to live the game 24 hours a day". My opinion is that those people who play X (< small number) amount of hours, should NOT be getting things that the people who play the X (< big number) amount of hours. Wouldn't we all want to be like Xantor with an SA implanted? Yes. How many of us will be able to do that? Not many. What was that? You want to increase the probability of everyone being like Xantor?

Well, seeing as there are clans which go out and farm much in the way they did in the past, bigger clans still are able to build bulk. Just not as bulky as in the past. Your point is again, moot.


You do know that the drop rate was nerfed for a reason, don't you?

That's different. You don't need mc5 chips for upper level PvM and PvP in general.

No that's not different. Nice try to avoid me though.

Of course, because idealogically, rares *are* supposed to be rare. Then practicality jumps in and screws things up.

But eventually (http://neocron.jafc.de/showthread.php?s=&threadid=74283) things will be better, though it probably won't be soon.

Yes, it is different. Will a MC5 chip make much of a difference in a runners preformance against another player or 'mob'? No. Will a PE when compared to a TAR make much of a difference in a runners preformance against another player or 'mob'? Yes.

That is another reason NOT to boost the rare drop, since obviously the ordinary rifles are going to be useful now.

I can give you the specifics of my PE. He's an RoG user with a pathetic moto3 in his skull just so he could use it. The MC5 chip changes EVERYTHING. He is as is now - gimped. I'm not even gonna tell by how many times I can boost my PE's constitution if I had that chip. Add an MC5 to him, and he can solo 3x warbots, 2x-3x titan warbots (I can solo 3 at once shooting at me at this time - if I'm lucky with their shots). The MC5 chip gives me the ability to LoM my WEP and put it into something more useful, like PSU so I can stagger/run cast. So again - nice try to avoid me.

Either you completely have no idea what you're talking about or you're just naturally illiterate when it comes to the game.

Um - that may or may not happen, thats what Lupus is pushing. Whether its excepted by the staffers is a different story.

Can you just as easily use a another non-tech weapon? Yes. Is your using a Ray of God neccesary? No.

You're just as PvP viable with a PE as you are with a RoG, only you have a personal preference.

Doesn't matter - rares still shouldn't be boosted.

There is no market if the rare drop increases. The only actual rise will be when the whole thing starts off - everyone trades - BAM market closed -"I'm going to get my own rare parts now, that's easy, and it saves me the hassle of having to be friendly in an alternate world which is trying to be as realistic as possible".


yea..there was no market 5 months ago...thats why everyone was complaning right?

dude just stfu and stop being so greedy...you got acess to any rare...wo what are you complaining about.

you said your the type of person to "work first, play later"

THIS IS A FUCKING GAME

THERE SHOULD BE NO WORK INVOVLED. IF I WORK I EXPECT TO GET PAID CASH SO I CAN PAY TO PLAY THIS GAME

K thread prolly needs to be closed, but for all those ppl saying that the drop rate is fine;
think back to before the drop rate was changed, do you remember the normal server population? Log into Neocron and look at the server population NOW.....nough said imho. Increasing the drop rate slightly would only help the game.

Well technically the drop rate doesn't have to be increased. The rare parts pool needs to be cleaned up. NORMAL cath sanct, most melee rares, normal antibuff, true sight sanctum, etc... there are alot of useless rares out there. Secondly, the drop rate on 120 mobs should be increased to at LEAST 1 tech per 120 mob.

I sorta agree.

I mainly hunt the varios hoverbots and its kind of pathectic when I clear out a zone of them and have nothing to show for it.

yes, this will help alot too...but overall they NEED to up the droprate...i have a feeling its just one more thing they can do to save the game.

lol...i just got a decent CS finally...a 1 slotter:rolleyes: with a ammo mod..(what a diff that makes)

anyways..just wanted to say now i can truely see how much a difference it makes in PvP.

lets just say i finally got some kills:D


this 1 slot CS is better than my 4 slot TPC...so much infact that it REALLY needs to change...

there needs to be some guns for all classes in between rares and the highest non rare...

its just way to big of a difference.
