    Actually he dropped fantastic loot if you went for him on the right day.

    Heroic World + Shotgun Loot Allocation = High Rolled Sweet Dreams.

    On two occasions I helped people get that exotic, with the right team you could very quickly (like 1 exotic every 5 fights that last 2 minutes) get one to drop at nearly max rolls. For gear allocated days, heroic runs on him were a great way to bank up max rolled attributes for your gear library. Sure it was "gridning", but it sure as hell beat spending 10x the time on mission grinding for the same thing. Basically any exotic you could get from a boss or freeroam, could be obtained rather efficiently from him on Heroic. He's been around forever, but nobody really advocated his farming ability until this update proved the devs can't properly balance loot drops. We are STILL GETTING PURPLE DROPS IN HEROIC & LEGENDARY. So now players were seeking out any means to make up for the devs ongoing shortcomings. His infinite spawn potential wasn't the result of some glitch or screwing with game mechanics, players just could respawn him because some fool in the dev group didn't put a cap on his spawn or drop potential when they made the game.

    Yannick WAS NOT EASY ON HEROIC, you needed some serious firepower or entrapment builds, with a team to take him down. He had a ludicrous amount of health & was like a rogue/hunter on steroids. So no, by no means was he an easy farm at all, unless you already had top tier builds & a well coordinated team. But he was worth it, he dropped max rolls & exotics. Trying to discretely remove something they never bothered to adjust before.

    You know if they had any courage, they'd just straight up tell us when they end things like this instead of acting like they are clever & nobody will figure it out openly. But alas, at least alot of players got to benefit from him while they could, & ubi can't blame anyone but themselves for this one.

    Meanwhile....

    - Revive hives still sometimes bug out.
    - Players sometimes experience the "transparent" ground effect.
    - Hostile NPCs charge at you like they did in pre-Tidal Basin update.
    - Skills don't function properly alot of the time.
    - Some talents stop working over time.
    - Hostiles still get trapped in walls.
    - Some Warhounds still climb ropes & deploy from helicopters/float in sky.
    - Rogues drop trash loot.
    - Purple Loot on Heroic.
    - etc

    Keep up the good priorities Massive/Ubi.
    It's the reason it's taking longer for me to find matchmade mission sessions these days.

    I've experienced all those things and more.

    But they find the time to stealthily take out Yannick hoping no-one would notice. Or perhaps not even caring if anyone notices. I wonder if they feel good about themselves or are secretly ashamed. I cannot express the contempt I feel for these devs at the moment.

    The singular reason I still play this disappointing trainwreck of a game that's being so poorly taken care of by incompetent individuals, is because of the combat co-op opportunities. As soon as another game offers something close to this game, I'm out for good & so are my 20 or so friends that are still on it too. At the least, they could spend the time & effort they use for SOTG on actually fixing more issues instead.

    Based on the last few state of the games, they are feeling good about themselves. If they think, as claimed, they fixed the revive hive, they truly don’t play their game anymore.

    From chest. They never do specify where they get the purple item from do they?

    I can't believe they removed this boss. Why didn't he just get changed to spawning only once a day or something of that nature? Honestly... this change just makes me shake my head...

    Purple Item/Loot drops on Heroic, as in missions, control points, bounties...pretty much every F'n place where it's unacceptable. Come on, did you really need someone to specify on what that issue is?
