    yeah - as ive mentioned in other threads, i really hope they scale to the persons gear score.

    Oh i'm sure he will. The good thing is that mission is the only mission with 2 named mobs in between start and bliss. Perhaps they will count as boss drops with the same chances of Set gear.

    totally agree... just because we OG's suffered... doesn't mean we want the come-ups to suffer as well? Let them eat cake g'damnit..

    This is a question I have also, with 204 weapons and 214/240 gear sets dropping everywhere then they will need to drastically improve the items for sale in both the tech wing & dz vendors, otherwise all that time spent grinding DZ rank means nothing.

    ypure forgetting that gear score is an arbitrary number. You can have a 214 drop but if the stats don't fit your build you're better off sticking with that 163 piece that has every perk geared towards what you want.

    The loot needs to drop more frequently in this game as opposed to other similar RPGs because of the wide range of customization and the fact that a high level item has a high chance of being useless to you unless you change your build to fit it.

    At 200+ GS you're getting a piece with ~6 perks on it and the ability to reroll only one of them. Just because the perks are higher value buffs doesn't mean they will make your character more effective.

    Making the DZ blueprints not very appealing to people will be a step in the right direction for appeasing those who want nothing to do with the DZ though. Even as someone who likes the DZ, I probably wont be bothering myself with farming all those credits to be ready for blueprints now. I'm just going to dabble in all the content and get my upgrades as they come to me.

    thought they said they were addressing that in an older SotG?
    its not a challenge mode mission anyway, mores the pitty. that would be an obviously good challenge mode mission i'd have thought.

    careful there, the main weapon tier is still 182, with a chance to drop 204.
    its the incursions that have a guaranteed 204 weapon drop now. and the same principle applies to weapons, more need to drop if they dont want crafting as the main source of gearing up.
