Mebbe your a little un lucky

i dont remember if it was a weekend or a day i do remember that i whent to the swampcave hunting shaman with a hybrid.
imagine this: antipoisonsanctum + DB + holy lightning (or energybeam i dont remember ) ya yust run to the shaman, DB em 3 times and kill em: this takes very short cause you have a.poisonsanctum on and holy healsanctum running, so ya dont have to look out nomore: ya yust storm in and kill em ... takes about 3 minutes : shaman dropped about 7 parts each drop + decent krinahk drops :)
you can imagine how much i enjoyed myself that day (but researching took up some weeks yeah :P)

So generous drops are fun rewards yet rares ought to be rare.
Ah well glad i'm not in the 'balancing' departement :p
edit: but it still stinks to get only junk from warbies.
*dam di duu di dam dey*
2 hours wb hunting = 27 tech parts.

its took your 4 hours to kill 30 warbots ? the drop rate is fine, your char on the other hand needs some tweaking

I can get a bunch of rares in a no time ... the old drop rate would suck becos no-one would have to spend time getting rares they would just be bought of people who cba to hunt

I saw a tank killing a WB at Battledome the other day and noticed after a while that he wasnt going to hack the corpse. So I cracked it open and found 3 expensive parts in it. I felt so guilty for keeping them :)

just bad luck.
One day ill kill 50 wb and get like 3-5 parts
next day kill 2 get 4 parts
next day i kill 1 and get 4 parts on that one
next day kill 10 and get 1
some days are bad luck others good. If im not getting good loot i just go pvp for a bit and come back again when im bored.

Just take a look that your combat rank does not get above 45 for hunting WBs. The techparts you get then i really 'nuff.

But Face of man kind has me locked some reason i doubt you did due to the fact that it seems more like your just trying to put down NC by saying you did all that all for a new game.
and due to the fact you said "cars" no one who has a Herc, and a dev would call any vehicles in neocron "cars"
specially due to the fact a tank shouldnt have any vehicles

As long as your rank isnt higher than the mob the drop rate is not changed .. enough posting myths already

Hmm i thought so too. It might be only lucky with me tho. But i expierience this change now for months.
I think there are the following states:
1. You lower then 15 levels of MOB = Best Loot +Full money
2. till same rank = Average Loot + Full Money
3. Above MOBs rank upto 15 levels = Crap Loot + Partitial money
4. More then 15 levels above = Crap Loot + No Money (Pick up someone of your size)
It were 15 levels above werent it ? Im not that sure if it were 15 or 10

If it's 15, then you should get full loot with a combat rank of 65 or below and 70 for WBT's, which is almost everybody...
I'm hunting with a combat rank of 42 atm, and I'm noticing any better loot then when I did it with another char which had a combat rank of 67.
The drop rate doesn't need to be increased.
It does however, need to be made static and universal for all players regardless of combat rank, player population, and time of day, so that everyone gets the same look instead of having good luck/bad luck days.
I always get stuck hunting in off peak times, which means ultra shitty loot, and I have bad luck with getting decent parts making it even worse. I could live with only getting four or five parts after a couple hours if the parts were actually not crap.
Some things I have found.
- Rank effects lootdrop, although only at large changes.
- Hacking with the least amount dots possible seems to increase chances of good loot.
- Tech Parts sometimes do not show up when you open the corpse. Doing a 'Take all' grabs them. I've seen people loot corpses and leave TP's behind because of this.

The latter made me fall out of my chair. I'm shocked!
