Proposal
My proposal, is to modernise and improve mission rewards for BH investigation 4 and MBH missions.

Current rewards are out dated and we need new loot tables (open to suggestions)



I’d like to see (extremely difficult) missions reflect this change. Potentially seeing one gold mob surrounded by two-three elites.
Justification
Bounty Hunting missions are a decent way to earn credits without the demands of group play. I personally enjoy taking pve bounties during my downtimes as a good credit boost.
But looting 4 BH armor schemes is outdated and I’d like the chance to loot something worthwhile.

Back on retail during the CU, BH missions also had the chance to drop skill tapes and weapon modifiers. Bring it back.
Motivation
Solo content that offers high level rewards for players who invest in the profession.

It’s accessible to all, BH 4xxx is all it takes for your alt to farm some credits.

I am in favor of updating the loot tables BUT agree with others that it should not be taking away from other areas. However this also raises the question of why just BH loot? Seems to mje the main goal of a "bounty" is the bounty (meaning credits) not loot. This would kind of be like asking to improve the MUS missions since it only gives slicing gear for loot.

Keep in mind that if they gave to much better loot for such little effort/time it would basically ruin it and make it worth next to nothing since all the players that don't do 70 hour work weeks could get it easier and more frequently than you could so you would be cutting off your nose to spite your face here.

Also they have said that BH is being revamped so I would guess this is going to be part of it. I know Ornj said this

but. i am also very very confident that bounty hunting as it originally was conceived is basically going to die, under the new system

that's also going to be a thing for high value bounties soon

I'll sponsor this when/if the original post is updated to remove pulling items from other unique loot tables. Concur that BH mission loot tables need some love - but as mentioned from other posters - incorporating items from other loot tables (RLC, Liquids, etc..) takes away from other content.
 
I’ve updated the PV, open to suggestions on loot and rewards. I agree, taking it from other areas only transfers content and we should look for new more appropriate rewards
 
Upvote from me. The extremely dangerous missions loot just seems a little lackluster. Probably outside the scout of this PV but adding a skill similar to smuggler modify pistol and the corresponding loot to these missions would make sense. I’m sure master BHs in this setting are capable of working on their weapons.

I have a question for you, MrMushroom.

I ran a MBH/MCM during the CU (mind you, I'm new around here but have been planning to go for MBH again).

During the CU I noticed a pronounced gradient in the LOOT DROPS as MBH missions reached the very highest pay. Mid range missions typically gave MEH drops if anything, but the very highest MISSION PAYOUTS also had the very best drops. And yes, as people have noted, CLOTHING ATTACHMENTS, sometimes very nice indeed but mostly run of the mill.

Assuming you are testing the very highest levels of missions, are you seeing a difference in drops from those missions compared to the easier midrange missions?
 
I havent hit MBH yet, but so far as a level 65 I cant complain about credits or loot. There was one bounty when I hit 55 that was impossible as he was a npc jedi whom I could barely scratch and would kill me pretty quickly. An opening sniper shot that usually knocks more than a quarter health barely registered. Not sure if that was a bug or working as intended as I dont recall running into that during live. I dropped the mission and haven't had any issues since.

I agree with others on not adding loot from DWB or any other places into bounties as that would diminish what makes those places special and isnt fair to the people who grinded that content as it was intended. Not having time to grind is not a good reason for any change. Its an MMO so time sinks should be an expectation.

Sure, add more interesting loot but let's not get too crazy. Bounties are hands down the easiest way to earn credits in this game and there are more important things for devs to spend time on.

I support this. I honestly end up selling everything to the junk vendor and deleting the BH schematics... SO yes, please update the (ED) BH missions.
 
I would like to see the loot table updated, as well. And to see the loot tied back in to the player economy somehow. Right now, the only things BH loot contributes to is BH armor (a feedback loop) or holocrons. I'd like to see drops that PvPers would make use of and consume. Additives for better foods, armors, weapons, stims, etc. It would benefit the PvP ecosystem, too. You PvP a lot, you get on the terminals, you get hunted by BH. Those same BH run PvE missions, loot materials that you need to make you stronger at PvP, cycle repeats.

Would also like to see maybe 2 or 3 BH group pve content, too? Like more difficult marks which can improve the odds of better loot drops, but which would be impossible to down solo.
 
Updating bounty loot makes sense. Moving DWB loot into bounties doesn’t. If people don’t want to farm DWB even though it’s soloable that’s not a system problem. That’s a player choice
