If not for Elite set, then why not Scavenger 400? I think HCS has solved the mission problem completely (or overly :D) with that stim!
If those Sunstorm are too many for our players, why don't HCS just disable/lengthen the time between the lvl 50 Behemoth spawns? Isn't that solve the problem. Actually it should be the same problem for all (common, rare, Elite, HK, Legendary) items at low levels! We all want those low level items to have some values as well, right?
And yes, it would be fun to want to WIN, but first, it should be "want to PLAY", and ... btw getting 2nd prize is still a WIN when the 1st prize faction stop killing :)

there should be rare random drops that is "nice" . from 2500 kill, figure 25 drops. could be stims, could be component to build another item. (enough component for 2nd item that is either same or something almost as good) the winner will get more than half of it, so it is win/win for the winners, but rest will have chance to get a prize as well.

kinda like having raffle plus winner's prize.

Where do they go? Does a faction need to have expanded store with empty slots to get these? Do they go to players?

It's really not as easy as a lot of people coming in and commenting have tried to make it sound. No, it can't make something that's the same as the Behemoth drop as that devalues it incredibly. It's not like the other game - there just isn't the player base to support more items.

Quite frankly I'd rather have them leave it how it is than have to pay people to play along....

go to players of course, this will bring in all sort, including those who do not have big faction.

titan drop is what it will be. bit like a pinata. :D reward those participating with small prizes. (stim, component, etc) while winning faction get the big prize.

if there are DP200 and rs200 type prize amongst the drops, you will get lot of turnout I am sure.

basically add a drop to the behemoth with really low drop rate that cannot be affected by FI/scavenge. 1% drop rate and have several drops for it.

Nice idea I must say :D
Also, this idea can be extended to all creatures as well (with much smaller chance of drop, like 0.1% or 0.01% or even 0.001% :) ), then some players will have a :idea: moment :idea: while leveling

And by having these drops on all mobs the incentive to do the Behemoth would be...? While I don't see the need to pay people to lose at a part of the game at least the original suggestion provided a rationale for Behemoth hunting rather than more rewards for doing nothing (rewards for losing but that's a different complaint).

I disagree on having it on all mob. just having it on behemoth would be a nice incentive. every pariticpant will benefit including those in the winning faction.

Right now, people may start the hunt, but if they think they are losing, they will bail. (or don't have enough member of faction participate) this will keep people hunting longer even if there is no chance to win the full prize.

But don't we want more people trying to win? This is the part I just don't get. I guess it's better to have a bunch of people trying to get a drop and not trying to win than nobody there. But, what the game really needs is more people trying to win. That's why I think it's necessary to pay at least as much attention to the prize (for the winner) as the other rewards and be very careful to make the hunt itself nowhere near as rewarding as winning the hunt.

Yeah. Great job. We thought some of those other factions were actually killing it. lol.


I'd like to know what happened to the news posting for it though! None of us saw one (and it isn't like we don't look for them!).

I found it randomly at 21:53 (well, my messages about it to faction mates were at 21:54) but there was no blue news posting that any of us saw.

Regardless. Good Job - come on in again.

Excellent job FL! Well done! I personally find the Behemoth hunting pretty fun. Phurie and I had a shot against one last week. Was excellent. Banter was good too.

Of course it has nothing to do with the Behemoth. I just want to raise an idea (based on idea from Cent, that's why I keep posting here) that might make the game more fun. What do players lower than lvl 100 do now? I want them to have a "moment of WOW". Otherwise, any new players coming in the game will find that they have to get to near EOC before they get out of a linear leveling process.

Simple, we want people who "want to PLAY" with the Behemoth first.
