i left for a couple days and came back to almost every pink being under 80k. a cannon i literally just bought a week ago for 75k is now 7k. what in the world happened? i saw the item drops being updated for the queen but did it effect it that much?

I bought the gloves for 40k about a week ago, and today I see them going for 6k. So sad. :(

WHAT?! WHY?! the drop rates for them actually were perfect. not to much but not to often... prices were fair for what they really were.

I agree they where pretty fair before, after they changed the drop rates I literally got like 4-5 coils in one night, and a ton of the other pinks. I think in three runs I managed to get two primed coils, but this is all with luck enhancer.

Sucks now because it isn't even worth farming anymore, but I did make a nice chunk of change from it.

Its not just that, also they added that additional room with the queen baby for sale.

That adds 3 more chances at a pink. I happened to be on miners luck and got access to that room twice and both times went 3 out of 4 pinks. I haven't been able to do it again which seriously reduces my average.

The only ones that seem to be holding decent are tempests and I haven't gotten one of those on a drop.

all the other pinks will drop to about the price of the gutter , tempests should drop to around 80-90k then stabilize , those of use who bought it for really high prices will just jave to bear the loss.

5-6k for a legendary is kind of ridiculous.. Makes me wonder what the point is in even calling them legendary. I don't get why there were so many of them - I think one category of five pinks, the next lower tier is purple, the next lower green, and why bother with the ones that don't offer great stats and no one is going to bother with anyway?

And that's why you never buy something soon after an update, unless you are prepared to lose a lot of money.

Haha kinda funny when u think about it :D haha !!
I'm usually pretty poor...imean less than 200 k on me :/... But
Lucks definately not on my side...not 1 si.gle pink drop in over at least 300+ runs...

Actually all the hive pinks are pretty useful. I guess STS cant make every one happy , some prefer the low drop rates where as other prefer the challenge.

Given how hard money is to come by in SL, the ~170k prices I was seeing before were kind of ridiculous. In any case, the pinks aren't all that great, so they're not really worth much.

In a month or so, when peeps get tired of farming, you can probably bet on the prices going up again.

Well to be honest until they remover the luck enhancers like they are in DL .... not much of anything gunna stay worth anything.

ive never read such an untrue statement in my life

napalm is for numa farming (all classes can wield so thats another bonus)
cannon is for super fast aoe shots for commando
tempest is for high damage hitting with a shield (mostly for tanks, all classes can wield)
phoenix brought back the use for using a duel weapon on an op with high dps instead of shield + nova
injectors is for engineers to actually have a decent weapon for their class and works amazingly with transference

These weapons actually brought the class triangle back to life with having your own class weapon will benefit you instead of everyone having nova + shield.

but the dps is ok , napalm have the same dps, and have better base damage which increase the skill damage.........

Unfortunately, without a shield, Engis are that much squishier and we die that much faster. A dead engi with injector heals doesn't equal a living engi with tempest coil heals, so I'd argue that there's really no incentive to use them. Would be mildly useful in PVP if it weren't for the ridiculously widespread damage.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that the only class that really benefits from using their class wep is commando because the health and armor loss is negligible. SL is broken that way.

So, looking at the list of pinks, I'm going to say that only the cannon, tempest, and carbine (for quick farming) are worth picking up.

I'd have to disagree , all of the hive pinks have their uses

For engi my load outs are

Bioneural coil + black star shield For when I have a bad com and I'll inevitably taking agro

Bioneural / primmed phase injectors - I was going to investigate the relationship between crit and dps in regards to heals but with out dmg ticker this goal goes on hold

Or

Bioneural carbine if we have a good team the aoe on this is pretty nice . A full team of carbines are super effective

For My OP

I use a crit tempest / crit carbine / dps carbine / dps duals depending on the situation and team I'm in

For com

I use my fused tempest / fused carbine / or canon

Also depending on the situation . IMO every one of the hive pink has its uses . Kudos to STS

I agree, I love the nalpam carbine of dm, even more than a tempest coil. It makes solo farming so easy, even into shipyard.
They all have their usefulness.

I can farm shipyard by just using "FlameThrower" lol..

But hell yea, they all have their own speciality.

So it's really up to us gamer's to use it to the fullest.

Loot drops have been rebalanced for the Alien Hive boss encounter(s) in an effort to make the rarest items actually rare.
