Death_By_Smiley Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 (edited) I just did a groupfinder Rakata Hard Mode. The bonus boss only dropped 2 basic comms. No gear (not even blues) no decos. Nothing. Is this working as intended? The final boss dropped purple non-set SM Operations gear (which was expected, given this was the case in 2.x), but there was no gear at all on the bonus boss.

Death_By_Smiley Posted December 3, 2014 Author Share Posted December 3, 2014 Just bumping this to see if anyone else has run a HM 60 and seen this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaitWatson Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 I'm not sure if this is intended off the top of my head, but we will take a look! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death_By_Smiley Posted December 3, 2014 Author Share Posted December 3, 2014 Thanks Tait: Just to give you as much specificity as possible: We had a groupfinder group. We kicked someone for AFK, they were replaced when we requeued (in case that messes up loot or whatever). We wiped on the bonus boss once, killed it the second time. We still got a purple implant (of the proper item level, though I can't remember the exact number...192? Whatever story mode ops gear is) on the final boss. I have NOT run any HM FPs since then, as it was pretty late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkyfizzle Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 I ran 2 of the HMs last night, Legacy of the Rakata and Korriban Incursion, neither bonus boss dropped anything besides the 2 basic comms for us as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justinplainview Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 I just did a groupfinder Rakata Hard Mode. The bonus boss only dropped 2 basic comms. No gear (not even blues) no decos. Nothing. Is this working as intended? The final boss dropped purple non-set SM Operations gear (which was expected, given this was the case in 2.x), but there was no gear at all on the bonus boss. We ran a HM Rakata this morning, only got the basic comms off the bonus boss. Makes it basically not worth doing the bonus boss literally ever because we only got 206 credits each for it. That's a horrible incentive to do a bonus boss. Like... It's actually terrible. I DID like that we got a piece of 192 gear to drop on the final boss encounter of the HM FP, so that's a plus. But good lord, that bonus boss loot table is trash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Costello Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 I did it earlier no one was kicked killed him without too much bother and we just got the two basics. Given the reward is worse than doing a daily I can't imagine its working as intended. Also maybe worth looking into some of the trash encounters disproportionately high dps, had moments where people were taken to half health in seconds perhaps 1. Since all the gear that dropped was worse than what you can get from basic coms except the last boss I can't think its a gear issue, it can't be much of a skill issue as 1 second hardly gives you time to respond and so doesn't seem to be working as intended.

Qvasar Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Bonus boss on Depths of Manaan HM (M2-AUX) does NOT drop anything - Ticket #14570225. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akam Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Hopefully this is not working as intended. Overall, I personally like the way the expansion is heading in regards to HM flashpoint / Operation difficulty. It's a VERY welcome change and something I've been wanting to see since...launch. Only a few op bosses and flashpoints have scratched that itch... While the difficulty of these BONUS bosses is outstanding, there is no incentive to do them...which is a crying shame. Whether working as intended or not, FIX IT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DefaultMeh Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Anyone know if this will get updated with the patch Tuesday? Like doing the bonus but not for 2 basic comms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Wicked Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 (edited) Anyone know if this will get updated with the patch Tuesday? Like doing the bonus but not for 2 basic comms ^^ This. I did the Bonus Boss 5/5, three of those using Group Finder. All great people; Nice, polite and respectful. However, we all did it for the fun of it, not so much for the commendations. Given how time consuming the boss is, two basic commendations is just... I don't even have words for it. On top of that, the mechanics -- assuming they are worthy of such name -- are just dull.

Death_By_Smiley Posted December 9, 2014 Author Share Posted December 9, 2014 Hey Tait You'd said we hear an update as to whether or not this is intended. Just wanted to follow up and see if this behavior is intended, or if this is an oversight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbriscoe Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Ive only read dulfy's post about the fixes on tonight's patch. I really do hope they look into the drops in the new hm fps. I ran one with my guild earlier today and our loot for clearing the bonus boss was only 2 basic comms. I feel like that was a slap in the face for the amount of effort we put into it.
