World tier 5 = Gear sets, exotics, classifieds. No yellow gear. Any top level mods become a new colour (black? Or gearset/classy colour?)) and only those drop. Any weapons over gear score 275(?) become same new colour and only those drop. Less loot is dropped by standard/veteran/elite enemies. Named bosses still drop similar amount, but it now has more chance of being useful.
Chance of a classy higher from named boss than anything else. Chance is increased from current rate of drop but no more frequent than current exotic rate (maybe not even that frequent?).
Reduces the overall amount of loot dropped, but raises the chances of it being good when it does.
Increase the crafting material/div tech received accordingly.
Hate to say this one, but maybe increase length of time for lz bosses to respawn to 6-8 hours?
Increase cost of optimisation for final 2 bars? Purely to make finding better gear more relevant than finding div tech and to help mitigate the current “only destruction and dz” ways of getting div tech.
Pheonix credits required for rerolling second classy stat?
World tier 4 no classys.
World tier 3 no exotics, only yellow weapons and mods.
World tier 2 no gear sets.
World tier 1 Only yellow items.
Weekly caches remain unchanged but the exotic stands a 33% chance of being replaced with a classy?
Named bosses only have 25% chance of appearing in the UG per phase. So a 3 phase mission has a 75% chance of one named boss. Should work out roughly equivalent to the respawn rate of lz bosses.
What do you think? All good? All bad? Anything worthy of consideration?
Drop Rates --
WT1: Blue/Purp with rare chance of HE
WT2: WT1 with increased HE and rare sets
WT3 (Begin GS 256): WT2 with increased sets and super rare Classy
WT4: WT3 with rare Classy and super rare Exotics and no blue/purple except purple gear mods
WT5: WT4 with increased Classy and rare Exotics
LZ Bosses -- increase the difficulty and tweak drop rates a little, leave respawns alone. Right now, players session hijack to farm LZ bosses. The biggest problem is that LZ bosses are way too easy to kill to be worth dropping ANY Classified or Exotic gear at all. LZ bosses should have MUCH lower droprates than Challenging mission and HVT bosses due to current levels of difficulty.
Weekly caches -- leave as is.
