This would imply you know drop tables, some of this could be a thing already, drops arent public Smile

It wasn't my intention to imply anything and I don't know droptables. What I do know is in which wave I loot and in which
I don't. It's a fact, that wave 2, 3, 5 and 6 in Hard Mode are almost completely empty.


RE: A couple of even More Ideas - Katarak - 20-01-2018

maybe it would be an good idea if you take 10 normal or hard, rag, cav runs that you have a higher chance to loot anything on normal,...


RE: A couple of even More Ideas - Jalau - 20-01-2018

Long list of ideas but I support especially the quest changes. Quests are too tideous right now.

I agree. Rewards are just not up to date and many quests aren't corresponding to bot numbers
in waves. A good example for this are the Wolf Clan Warriors, which only appear as an alt wave
14 in Rag mode. The Clan Hunter quest therefore takes ages to complete and isn't even worth
accepting imo.

Thank you for your suggestion.

The loot system is being looked at currently.  Please note that bots like Vanguard Huscarl, Veteran Huscarl, Royal Assassin, Nord Sniper, Chosen Skirmisher, Nord Shield Maiden, Bifrost Guardian, and Follower of Vanagandr are not meant to have very expensive loot so that playing the first 3-6 waves is not more profitable than completing the run.  The more expensive materials are supposed to tend to be on the harder to reach waves.  Some changes are already under way.

I will leave the thread open for the Quest discussion, but as it stands I feel some of your suggestions for Ragnarok and Hard mode are overpowered.  I will make a more put-together post on that later, once more discussion has been had.
