Biccy's Ideas - 5) Warbots

[DigestiveBiscui]

Before i explain what i feel the problems are / what i would like to see fixed please understand that these are simply my ideas that, after playing the game during its core times (when it was at its very best), i feel need to be adjusted in order to make this a better experience and not another moment where the game looks promising only to be shot down by bad moves which has happened again and again.

WARBOTS - PRIORITY MEDIUM

Back when neocron was at its best time, Warbot farming was a viable idea to collect techs as much as fire mobs. There were several options back then on what you could farm and it made it a better experience. Right now however fire mobs are dropping techs a lot more highly than warbots - which renders them useless.

I feel upping the tech drop rate on these is essential for both the current climate and future climate of the game. If the server becomes more popular with patches then fire zones will become massively over-populated. At least with Warbots dropping tech's it will spread the runners out a bit more and also giving classes like PE's something to farm.

I agree to make Warbot Hunting a bit more rewarding again, especially considering one has to hack them before looting them (all Mobs that have to be hacked should be more rewarding than those that don't have to be (comparing same CR of course), its a time sink after all, especially with low Mobs, and its also dangerous because you don't see whats happeneing to you while you hack)

Dont think that anyone is against upping warbot tech droprate. Im sure that it will happen at some point, after the more important stuff have been fixed - Weapon Balance, Im looking at you!

The thing is weapon balance will take a lot longer to look at. So many things can be fixed quick to make this a better game

True, however as everything with NC, shit can go wrong (quite easy).
Weapon balancing will take a lot longer yes, but it will also make the game equally better..
We are quite a few who are just waiting for the balancing to start, to return.

Agree, think this one has been pointed out quite a few times and most agree. Not sure why they were changed or if it was an oversight, either way, bring them back please

From the Patch Notes of R#177:

Significantly increased rare part drop chances for Warbots and number of related techmobs.

Nice one, haven't had a chance to test it of course, but i'd say: fixed ;-)
