to showcase how ****ty the rewards from high level activities are, ive decided to make a thread about it. because im also curious to see what awful loot other players get. so let me start off first with this little "gem" right here ive gotten from a lvl4 cp. who on earth would ever want to use this crappy mod??!! NOTE: the items posted have to be GS 500

Honestly, most 500 GS stuff is abysmal.
Since the changes were made i've not replaced a single piece of gear with a better drop. I've upgraded some stuff, but two key peices cant be upgraded as I had to change talents on them and no piece of gear with those talents and decent attribute rolls have ever dropped for me.
500 GS items seems plagued by really low attribute rolls, like 1.5% to 3.5%. Occasionally you will get a 7%. Its only because I kept gear before the changes that i've been able to push up over 10% on one or two items.
i think people are missing the point about loot, crappy loot is necessary in a game like this, its not a big deal. The problem with this system is when you are looking for a specific backpack, 1 out of 69 possible pieces, then 1 out of 68 possible talent configurations, and finally 5 out of 61 stat configurations...
and the ONLY way to limit RNG is the very end there i get to turn 1 / 61 into 5 / 61
you've got 3 different layers and each one you are looking to hit a 1 out of 60 chance EACH LAYER.
those are my chances at a backpack im after, pray for me
that is true BUT let me tell you a little story: im on WT5 ever since it became available and i have yet to come across a single piece of gear that has better rolls than any of the stuff ive collected in wt4 apart from the armor values ofc let alone the mods.... my whole build basically consists of 490+ items from wt5 with wt4 attributes transfered onto them and i really dont think this is how it should work.i think people are missing the point about loot, crappy loot is necessary in a game like this, its not a big deal.
and good luck getting that backpack youre looking for btw
You bring up another good point about the system, stat overlap between tiers, it feels terrible when moving up tiers because you might not see a stat upgrade JUST ARMOR. thats not fun, nobody likes that, it doesnt feel like progress, especially since the mobs are now hitting harder so you're not any tankier either...... so where is the feel of getting stronger, of progress, other than the story??? heres an example https://imgur.com/a/kBDjhVdOriginally Posted by EF3CD Go to original post
what i forgot in my post was the actual point, that we need a way to target farm for things the same way we do when we want that merciless or sweet dreams
Earlier I got a 491 MK46 with 27.1K damage and shortly after that I got another one that was 499 at 24.4K damage. The overlap in this game is ridiculous. I have never looted a vest with over 11k weapon damage and haven't used anything I've found in the last 2 weeks for anything other than a talent rollover. Currently I am using a 498 Custom 416 that is 2.5k more damage than any 499 or 500 that I've found.
Farmed openworld for 2 hours ....... 116 drops....( 78 Gear / 38 wpn) ............ 32 Yellow ( 21 Gear/11 wpn) 84 Purp ( 57 Gear/ 27 wpn) Yellow: 0 =GS 500.... 19 = GS 490 + / 13 = GS 480+)............ Purp : 48 = GS 480+ / 36 = GS 470+.........didnt do faction boxes or any missions ... this is from pure roaming the streets ..... this is simply ridiculous .. the fact that NO GS 500 dropped .. and i only got 3 .. 499 of the 19.. 490 + drops .. is ... just disheartning ...
