trust me there is one

Some initial HK observations.

6 HK items for each class set.

Each item needs 8 components.

HK has 2 drops.

Each drop has 3 extraction possibilities (6 different components total).

Even if you were perfect on every extraction it would take 48 drops. We all know how the extraction game goes in SS2….so I would say x 2 drops needed considering duplicate components and failed extractions (96 drops). Currently the HK has around a 20-25% drop rate. So let’s take the higher one 25% (1 in 4)..... 96 x 4 = 384 HK kills to make this set.

I for one like a challenge but this is daunting...... Even if you got all 4 HK each hour it would take you 96 hours to get enough drops. Even if it was 1 in 3 drop rate you would need 288 kills.

I'm not complaining (well maybe a little) just want to know if this is what you were planning? At least I’ll have something to keep me busy for a while.

Thanks for any feedback.

Let's hope the sets are worth it then :roll:

We're looking at 2 weeks before the firsts sets roll in, so I'll sit back and enjoy the wait!

looking at the drop rate yesterday, it was much poorer than 1 in 3. so, 6 possible extraction? egad. this one will be bad one to make sets. so, you need 48 component for the set or 150 drops at 1 in 3. almost 40 hours of hunting assuming perfect extract. (and it never is) may be 3 hour hunt/day. so, 2 weeks if you get every kill. hmm, not easy.

[MaximusGR]

Hopefully the set, or parts of it will be good enough to be used way past lvl 190, the trading feature of the game needs high value sets/items.

[centurion]

this will be tough set to make. the map layout makes it tough too. I just finished the content, and the HK mission was a bear. nasty cows. I may go and hunt elite for a while and make that set first. my elite sets are lasting 30 lvls anyway already, and while having HK set would be cool (I did not bother with last one either but made addon) this one is way too energy consuming with rooms being so big. but I will see.

[KitiaraLi]

Superb content :-D

Was fun, had challenges, had energy wasters that weren't ridiculous, beautiful artwork, good storylines (missions) oh, and sum fine new items as well


Thinking it was about time I gave sum praise to the content, since I like it so much


Keep it up my funky cows, Kit

making the elite set from lvl 190.; it is primarily att heavy set. good for taking artifacts. soldier set looks like revamped lvl 150 set (should be different color IMHO otherwise, easy to get confused) about same drop rate as previous set. soloable if you have near 1500 dmg or purist. HK is much easier this time around compared to lvl 100, but only soloable by purist with MS(lose it in 1 hit though) need 2-3 high level mate and you can do ok for most others using dmg heavy gear. building my elite set first.

Wasn't there an hour ago. I'd bet Monday at least before it shows.

I need to make a statement concerning the HK. I have never really griped about Mental Shield because though purists have that they dont get the damage bonuses that soldiers can with their buffs. But in relation to the HK, the purist skill MS has completely tilted the table in favor to one class because it allows them to solo while the rest of us have to rely on squadding. I am lucky in that i have a strong, active faction that squads pretty effectively but i feel bad for the many others out there that may not have that advantage.

At the same time, I must also indicate that as a soldier I am unable to make the purist weapon to complete a set, however the purist can make my weapon. While that may seem trivial, it is in fact significant and results in skewing the marketplace for equipment production.

Other than that I am enjoying the hunt.. (even though the 40% destroy rate is eating at me)

Yes!!! unbind charged mind stones!!! PLEASE!!!

On the complaint side, the maps are a bit excessive. With Sharona, when a player killed an HK, the efficient hunter could wait in the middle map and still get a kill, giving everyone a fair shot... In a couple days, the top factions can stake players in every map and be sure to get the kills because people. I do like how you force everyone to complete the mission to open the shortcuts, but in a short time this will likely bottleneck the latecomers who will be at a great disadvantage.

[centurion]

new comers will just have to be patient. stay in one room and hope it spawns there. or in the next room if they stay near the door to the corridor to the next room. or do it like I did,and start searching at :05 and see if you are the first one to find a HK.

definitely tougher than lvl 100, as you can't sit in middle and wait till first kill.

This is a pretty powerful set! It is not needed for continuing through the game so is set to be challenging! :mrgreen:

Is now!

Agreed. Mental Strength should not be working with Hunter Killers.

Why is the HK set just rare? All the other HK sets are unique, so why isn`t this unique?

Sorted. They are showing as Unique now.

[acidic]

Agreed. Mental Strength should not be working with Hunter Killers.

When will the injustice stop. When everything is said and done the purist class will be worthless and have more problems than it does already.
