View Full Version : 1/1 mobs dropping mc5 parts.
This may not be a great idea but I'm kind of thinking out loud. What if there was a super super super slim chance of low level mobs dropping rare parts, even mc5's. This should be an overwhelmingly rare occurence, but i think it might add some fun. And with each higher mob, there is a greater chance of them dropping a tech or a mc5 part, but still highly unlikely(think in the 1 out of a couple thousand range). ANd have a gradual increase in chances of getting one until you get up to mc5 which is obviously the best chance to get an mc5. This serves 2 purposes. It gives new people a chance(even if extremely slim) a chance to possibly collect some and/or get rich by selling them to higher players. This may also reduce inflation a tad.
And this may or may not be implemented. But there should be like a 1 in couple million chance that an entire chip drops. This isn't just mc5 chips, but all chips (psi core, marine, etc). Maybe even throw in a 3 slotted CS with perfect stats. I dunno.
How about no?
Reason - stupid fucking idea, doesnt fit into game anyway or whatever...
As if half the shit they have in this game fits in anywhere as is. Don't even give me that argument as anything significant.
gg on constructive critisism.

i dont see how a bat, rat or any sort of low level dog could ever think of kicking some huge rare dropping baddie's ass, then grab the part he thought looked shiny, and carry it to the sewers where some 0/4 kills it and finds himself a rare part, just doesnt seem possible, now guts and meat, that makes sense
I don't think so, Mc5 is there for a reason, and it is the only place that drop mc5 parts, which as we all know are worth a fuckload, so why would you want to make farming mc5 parts easier by just camping the sewers and outzone all day long? Sorry to say but your idea is teh sux.
It would be so rare that camping sewers and such for them would be a waste of your time. it would be an extremly extremly rare occurence, i'm talking the chances of winning the lotto type of thing. This isn't something for high rank people to cash in on. This is a chance for someone low level to get something of high value.
I see what you saying, however parts to the "rarest" implant in NC dropping from the shittiest mobs? Thats just poor logic.

All i can say is "poor n00bs":(
They spend 5 mins on a aggies tryin 2 kill it.. then Woosh! loadsa high lvls come down and kill all the mobs:lol:
Well, i understand that the logic is definitely backwards. But my idea isn't finite, its just that even mc5 parts aren't rare, you know exactly where the hell to find them, from the base commander at mc5. They are exclusive to not only certain clans that camp mc5, but also to mainly ppu and apu monks with a tank now and then. Okay so maybe this isn't a great idea, but i think PE's and Spies should be able to be included in the drops, not this exclusive to the monk class shit.

All the people who said no did you actually read the whole thing hes saying like one in a thousand so 1 in every thousand rats will have a part or change it to one in a million.

I don't like the idea, but I'm gonna have to agree with the bounty that going against the idea because of poor logic or RP is really silly. ALOT of things in this game don't make sense. Almost ANYTHING can be justified with RP.
A powerful runner was called to help someone in the sewers one day. He ran down and was ambushed and killed by rival gang members. They heard the voices of copbots nearby and quickly ran off without looting the corpse thoroughly. Rats swarmed the corpse hours later and feasted. One of them managed to swallow(or carry) an mc5 chip. This rat to this day is still wandering through the sewers.
There ya go. :rolleyes:

Surely the Rat would of sh*t it out by now :P or maybe hes an Uber 1337 rat that can cast Holy lightning!! and hes responsible for noob Pking:lol:

No, bad idea ^^, let mc5 parts drop at mc5
ok the mc5 idea kinda overkill but the idea of giveing lowbies and n00bs a chance of hitting a big score isnt bad at all. but whole chips and mc5 parts ..... no.
Ch0
In a way it is a good idea to have low end mobs drop SOMETHING decent occasionally
but not necessarily MC5 parts because the high end players would go nuts in the noob areas and the noobs would have a hard time finding something to kill
8| o_O :eek: lol, :D, you sure have a sense of humour bounty.
tell ya what, if it takes ppl off the nerf this and that threads, ill all for it.. if its the same formula they use for the terminator rare books
:D
</sarcasm>
this is a great idea, stop abusing poster
it's a great great way to give a noob a leg up in the game
hackable boxes used to have loot that didn't suck in them, general wepons and armor -- it was a great way for noob to make some cash -- and every once in a while, like I got 2-3 in all of beta, they had an illegal slot enhancer -- I sold them for great cash to uber players

nah, bad idea sry
MC5 parts should only drop at mc5, and the bc should be the only one that drops em :p
If a spy/pe wants one then he should either make another chatacter class to go there, or have a good clan/m8 get him one imh

i agree MC5 should be the only place to an extent (although IMHO there should be even rarer ones in MC 1-4, old experimental ones with big flaws, like an MC5 / kami combo chip (although not the same stats... just that kinda idea - maybe +5 dex, -5 str or something... more something that would be worked out at a later date). i also think all mobs in MC5 should drop them, although commander with the biggest chance.
as for the last comment - i dont agree with that :p just because i am a spy i should reroll or sponge off my clan? i hate sponging off people, most of all clanies / mates. when i get enough INT to use heavy NRG belt i will be doing MC5 runs with my pistol spy. i know a couple of 95 base psi PPU's in real life so thats no prob.
this game has specialisation. i accept that (and agree with it to an extent) however needing an APU to debuff, needing a certain class for hunting in a certain area - this sucks.
ok some sewers need a hacker - no biggie, there are loads of sewers. this is the only MC5 base i nthe game, limiting it to tanks / psis is not a good move.
Although "strange books" are more rare and take longer to acquire
than mc5 parts anyday, this idea just can't work. I can see players
killing mobs of spiders in the sewer for an mc5 part... i just can't
see this working, even if it is super rare that it drops... it's just
not going to work.
I'm taking this thread seriously, as the idea isn't bad... it's just
not good for 1/1 mobs... anyway.

Aye i do see ur point dude. I play my rifle spy most of the time now too, but i goto mc5 with my ppu, as my spy would just....die :o
How about...if there were a few different rooms in the main MC5 building. The hardest room keeping as it is, and the BC would drop only DS parts. (maybe a slightly lowered drop rate) Then PPU/APU, maybe a tank could do that room just as they can now.
Then have a room for the SA (spys/pe's will want this chip) so make the guards inside it do less damage. Still keep them at the same rank & health, & drop rate etc. But this would give those classes a chance to go there to get what they need.
Plus, if each room is only dropping one type of chip. They should also drop normal L's, T's, E's to make up for the other parts that they would normally drop, to keep the drop rate the same.
Those are just some thoughts anyway :p
Tech parts sure why not.
Mc5 parts hmm....... i think they should drop from any of the mc5 mobs.
complete implants yeah sure but not the mc5 ones and have a really low chance of a full chip dropping of course ;)
P.S this is from a player who has no mc5 parts/chips or access to people who can help farm mc5.
