Boss drop rates

[CitRix]

Curious to get people's opinions on how rare item drops are from bosses.

Pmed Jamie about it and all I got was "they're rare for a reason", if that reason is to waste people's time, demoralised us and suck all the fun out of the game then sure, I totally understand.

Literally the only reason to play atm is to level, bossing is a waste of time

Try to be a bit more accurate?

You asked about Elite Weapons specifically.

Some things should be rare, I remember the pride a lot of guildies felt on Euro with the first Great Blades and that Tao sword I can't remember the name of and Spiral Soul Blades and Heaven Staff etc.

RT'ing and then running through non RTable floors, you kill a boss and it's 90% it's nothing. Only WT was worth the time if we're talking cash on average, got 2 helmets from kililng a *** ton of EC but they aren't nearly affecting pvp/pve effectiveness as a weapon/attack stat added item would.

You have options
1) lvl hard to get advantage on opponents with chance of rare book/high dc etc accessory worth loads
2) run boss run boss run boss...oh look at the time -.-
it's just a no brainer. Traditional Mir never had lvling areas with ridiculously high potential rares and for good fuking reason! Right now you can have your cake and eat it while people that are running for bosses are burning too many calories and getting no cake, everybody.needs.CAKE.

The stats you gain from leveling out perform the item stat progression ingame.

My point is that the vast majority of the server are still wearing what can only be described as "noob items" due to a combination of the poor drop rates and OP refine system.
We're 3 months in and only 2 elite weapons have dropped, that means that people have spent 100's of combined hours for **** all, - boss hunting currently isn't worth the time spent

 

[CremeEgg82]

I think we are only just 2 months in, started just before Christmas, that's only Jan and Feb.

Euro was slower on the weapon drops than that.

Item drops do not reflect leveling speed, I could spend 100 hours hunting an item, or do a level in 5 hours for another 4mc.. we currently have a high rate leveling server with a low rate drop system

Items are rare for a reason. Boss hunting is a nice bonus and time killer for when you're bored. If Elite weaps became the norm, people would then want better items to drop and then complain when they were too rare also.

Gotta be a cut off somewhere. Hated it on Marble after hunting for mythic blades for weeks and been so happy once I got them, only for a week later everyone had a set due to drop changes.

 

[LightBringer]

It's fine as it is, I like rare items being rare!

I don't see 1 post from Selaine who hunted hyunmoon more than anyone for a book. Rare books are a huge incentive to hunt on your main and its great fun to roll another character and hunt the rare spells.

I have adv renounce already because I risked a 52 page for millions of gold, everyone was able to bid on it.


Please keep them rare for longevity.

PS stop basing wizards on the 1/2 players with the highest level/best gear - it does not help they are the biggest Pkers on the server.
Not a single one of those who complained would beat Geralt(warrior,74) in a 1v1.

Items have Been made largely irellevant, the better started items are rare,meaning you can’t stack elements on them realistically you’d need 25 super rare items to make one that can compete with a horn ring fully levelled.

Why are people going to hunt for items that are essentially worthless.

I can hunt bosses for hours on end for a slim chance of a little bit of progression, or I can do 3 ish levels in that time gaining guaranteed stats.

Rare items make next to no difference and are rare as fk, joker has 110mc purely from his hermit.

We have low rate drop files and items and high rate levelling and additional stats.

It’s ok having rare items but they have to genuinely make you stronger, fastest way to get a good kit is to nerd ants and buy copper rings from tm...

 

[GeeDee]

Higher and rarer items do improve stats a lot.

Especially for sins. You wanna make elite weaps and high dc / crit items more common, fine. Sins will obliterate everybody.

It's completely up to you if you wanna refine copper rings for element, or if you wanna boss hunt and get high MC SC or DC items with crit. Depends on your build. Higher levels turn away from element and focus on crit Items.

This is the main issue

From level 44-55 i think exp goes up by 20m per level and then 55-73 i think it stays at 400m exp per level. The exp curve was to linear with no huge exp jumps from level 45-75

Hermit is a huge boost, but due to the levelling speeds everyone has shot well far ahead.
