    Pandora's Box of Targeted Loot

    I think now that Ubisoft has opened the Pandora's Box of choosing your own targeted loot in the Summit that they should just make it a global choice.

    This would just allow you to play whatever you want wherever you want while looking for whatever items you are looking for.

    As it is now when looking for gear almost everyone I know heads to The Summit. No one has much if any interest in doing any other content for gear. Some people are still doing the Legendary's for the weekly cache but that's about it.

    They have announced the "optimization station" which signaled in the end of development for this game, so the logical step would be to allow targeted loot to be selected globally.

    Ahh the end game Lincoln farm would be revitalized. Make legendary a choice in Lincoln and there will be 2 places to farm. Floor 90 and Lincoln.

    Now that is opening up the map.

    Targetted loot should have been in the game from the beginning. Makes you not want to play content knowing you have hardly any chance at getting what you need. Game is already so RNG heavy no reason not to. I say all this as a fan of Summit.

    I've been farming a DECENT China Light piece with explosive delivery for months on end and haven't gotten close. I still have the crummy one I rolled originally thinking I could find somewhat of an upgrade.

    you do not want the loot selection Globalized and here is the reason
    If any of you have better info on what is going on please do share
    That said has any1 witnessed when you do the legendary with all 9 directives on on a 4man team the loot amount is the bare minimum
    Doing CP lv4 is way more lucrative, i think that is because when you got the opportunity to choose loot individually the game puts on the SOLO modifier on it and the loot drops are cut down like it does drop like you are in a solo match.
    I might be wrong but we tried a 4man team on legendary with 9 directives on Summit and 4man heroic diff on open world/missions and the loot from the open world/missions is more plentiful without any directives on.

    Heh. Throw in the occasional Invaded Grand Washington just to mix things up a little

    Hadn't really thought of it in terms of a specific mission. I personally find it boring to do any specific mission more than once in a play session. I prefer doing a mission, then some open world activities, bounties and mix and match. Having the targeted loot as global (like The Summit where everyone chooses their own) would allow this type of play with anyone and everyone no matter what anyone wants to do.

    What I can say is that I have the best rools in Heroic CPs and in Summit the better loot was in heroic. As I do 2 floors in legendary I do 10 floors in heroic. Less pain, more fun to kill mobs and the loot have a better chance to drop good rools. I did and I do the summit in legendary but for me is not enough balanced as time spent versus loot quality.
    I do the legendary missions for the fun not for the loot as the loot in legendary more specific the final bosses not worthing at all

    Lincoln is the most efficient mission for targeted loot as it has four named bosses. Everyone will just farm it because of that, and you can forget about matchmaking for anything else as a result.

    Yeah, as much as I always want to empower the players of games, even I think this is a bad move. Maybe once it goes on life support status ok, but not before that.
