The new Hunting grounds or: How to frustrate undergeared players

Ok, here’s another feedback to the newly introduced Hunting Grounds.

In contrast to the previous Hunting Grounds, I believe that these new Hunting Grounds are way too hard to justify the low equipment drop rate[if the tos.neet.tv websites droprates are right, those level 315 rare grade equipment cubes have droprates of 1:10000 and 1:20000].
I mean, if we already got top equipment and have an easy life inside to farm gear, we don’t need the gear anymore, which makes the new Hunting Grounds kinda obsolete for those players.

Contrary to that, people who need the gear can’t get it or have a really hard time to farm the stuff because of the abysmal drop rates and 2 RNGs after that [first is the cube; pray that the right item comes out of it; second is the identifier, better hope that you’ll get 2 slots on it or farm again…].

Wasn’t only Practonium and ET supposed to be endgame content? How come that nowadays even Hunting Ground-gears are supposed to be endgame equipment, especially since there’s still the lack of decent alternatives from level 280 onwards to deal with these monsters?

I think it calls for a change: Either make the monsters weaker so that people can kill them ± as fast as they could with around level 280 monsters before the patch, or increase the droprate so that you can at least get some cubes after a while of farming [and most likely still get the wrong gear from it anyway…]!

my understanding was always hunting grounds were ment to be completed with groups. I havent tried this one yet as i have not gotten home from work but i imagine with 2 or 3 players this place is fine.

I think it is fine the way it is, but the drop rate surely dropped considerable.

I’m hunting for around 1 hour or so and no cubes, only the normal crap that drop from the field mob related to the models in there.

My guess would be that they didn’t implemented it correctly, but I can’t say for sure.

Also, the massive lag is not helping much either lol.

Update:

Complaining to @thebloodyaugust seem to do the trick LOL… dropped right after I went back to the game window and killed a mob.

I feel like even if you get 1 weapon box a day its still gotta be better then the prac bullshit.
