Scoria loot could use some adjustment

I love to loot non-stackables and I like MF as much as the next guy but 14 MF attack chips in 43 Scoria killed does seem a little excessive. I'll be able to use a few myself but I suspect the others are likely to be TT food given the sheer volume of chips being looted.

I think the loot for these guys needs a review.

 

If you're going to tt them anyway..... I'll gladly take them off your hands for 101% have 4k oro left to kill

 

guess they tried to bring MF to Ark, but putting so much in one mob I agree is not so good ... they'll become tt food on ark and slowly Caly market will be impacted as well.

However noticed they have "dropping periods" ... at times droppin in stacks and other times goin 20-30 kills without a drop. Guess scoria loot will get revised soon.

 

Agree with OP. I looted 43 MF chips with first 75 kills. Sometimes 3 MF chips with 1 kill. Think it's a 'bit' unbalanced atm

 

Yepp, got 24 in one run. Don't think they will all sell in auction, so they will go to TT maybe.

 

PM me with what chips you guys have I may be interested in buying some of them

 

I'll put a list on forum once I am back on arkadia tomorrow

 

in my first 800ped of ammo hunt i managed to kill about 100 of them ended up with over 80 mf chips, an overall loss of 400ped and more than 80% of my loot was MF chips. I would definately say its unbalanced.

And mind you i did several runs with same results each time.

Also is it just me or should a better armor than canis be dropping from that HP giant on the upper maturities?

 

I have noticed the MF chip drops as well, during me compiling the list of the new loot.. I have also alerted Dobson personally, so they are aware.. May i advise looking for my warning thread about the loot balancing system being bogus.. My gut feeling is that it has to do with that too, and I would expect a great change in the loot (again) when the fix patch comes out (hopefully tuesday) .. Looks like all my work with compiling data is wasted for now, but i'll just do it all over again after the patch.. I hope i get just as much info this time around as i did after this update.. It was a great help to everybody..

 

Keep the MF chips - dont change anything - We need MF chips to drop so dont change anything at all.

They sell easy on caly even the small ones. I prefer to get something in my loot with a MU.

 

They wont have MU for long if they keep dropping in these numbers

 

There is always an influx when new items are introduced in loot, it tends to average out after a while. Probably the system trying to play catch up.

 

Seems like this has been rebalanced now. Just killed three dozen Scoria and only got two MF chips. Before I might have gotten a dozen or more MF chips.

 

Yeah, noticed the same thing today when I hunted them. Good I think. ^^

 

Well, I think they still drop enough... since most of them go into TT and back out to the field. But have them drop as before when it was like 1 or 2 on each mob was a bit over the top imo. ^^

 

Maybe MF are Ok now, but ESI having same problem. Seems they are droping like rain, with awful consequences to market.

 

Yeah... just noticed. 469% is lowest ESI in auction atm. =S

 

Well we'll see what happens to this in tomorrows patch... seems odd that they screw up the loot item distribution TWICE in a row on the same mob though. xD
