d026 THE LEGION OF STEEL WARRIORS.... R0ADKILL	Posted - 2007.10.09 00:19:00 - [1] So finaly after probing this biatch out, i managed to complete it. It only took me 8 hours to scann and run it. It is probably the hardest plex i have ever seen. +10k dmg aoe and a nice cute 30bs spawn on top of you. And what did i get as reward? The overseer dropp: 1 x 150mm railgun, 200 Iron S, 1 x Prototype Cargo Scanner. Including the bounty i made like well over 50mil. 50 MIL FOR THE ******* HARDEST PLEX OUT THERE? Not even a overseer effect? Nothing? I can get +50 mil from a crappy Radar plex, i manage to scann thes out within 1h max + 1h max hacking. This is utterly crap CCP. +10/10 difficulty and not even a overseer effect. Small railguns from a 3928472839k hp structure dealing 10k kinetic damage? CCP BOOST THOSE PLEXES PLEASE!
d026 THE LEGION OF STEEL WARRIORS.... R0ADKILL	Posted - 2007.10.09 00:21:00 - [2] AND the funniest thign is.. i just got a dg invul field in a 0.8 system while runing a lvl 4 guri vaganza while i was accumulating lp to be able to get me those nice scanning implants.. Thats so ******!

R0ADKILL	Posted - 2007.10.09 10:22:00 - [3] Originally by: Jei'son Bladesmith Ya but look at the bright side.... .... .... .... ok i got nothin well it was fun running it. posguns the ueber smartbom the nice 30bs boobytrap. but it just bothers me that for all the time, isk, risk (you wont be able to tank dis damage in a tII fited ship you need some juicy faction/deadspace tank or several logistics) involved, you do not even get a overseereffect like in the ded plexes..
d026 THE LEGION OF STEEL WARRIORS.... R0ADKILL	Posted - 2007.10.09 11:45:00 - [4] Originally by: Brixer Not trying to be a smartass or anything, but isn't this a plex type that might escalate ? In which case you might get a Shadow at the end of each location and deadspace loot at the final location. Yeah you are right the HQ "can" escalate. I have yet to see a site that escalates tough. Also considering the difficulty of this site (its like 15/10 compared to the pith 10/10) you want to get something worthwhile. Also there are simpler ways to get faction spawns/items such as belt ratting, high sec lvl 4 missions and the new cosmic anomalies. What you have to take into account is also the following: + Chance to find the site + Probing (chance based can take hours) + Possible losses due to gate camps/probers (and you are at high risk flying a pimped out faction pve ship to those insanely hard sites:) + Possible losses due to plex difficulty + Chance of a Faction Spawn + Chance to get something worthwhile from the Faction spawn (not justa tag and 1k faction ammo) + Escalation chance + Chance to get another Faction Spawn. etc.. This is a lot of risk and effort just to have a slim probability of getting a usually not very expensive faction item you could acquire easily while doing less difficult tasks.
d026 THE LEGION OF STEEL WARRIORS.... R0ADKILL	Posted - 2007.10.11 00:51:00 - [5] Edited by: d026 on 11/10/2007 00:52:10 Me and Igetshotalot finished the Guristas Military Complex. It escalated several times before we hit the Dead End. We killed 4 Dread Guristas but unfortunately only 1 dropped a (cheap) faction item. The whole expedition took us like 10-15 hours. The rewards were as follows: Approx 50-60 mil in bounties for each. 1000 x Guristas Iron Charge L = 1 mil 3 x Dread Guristas Crystal Tag = 1 mil 1 x Dread Guristas Diamond Tag = 1 mil 1 x Dread Guristas Kinetic Defflection Amp = 15 mil I am aware that each of those Dreads could have dropped a invul field. But again the chance seems in favor of not getting anything at all.. Anyway this is a EXTREMELY BAD ISK/H ratio. Its not nearly as good as 1.0 LvL 3 whoring.. I really hope CCP looks into those escalation sites and buffs the reward. Even tough they are fun to do at the end you feel bitter not getting at least something worth for the time spent..
d026 THE LEGION OF STEEL WARRIORS.... R0ADKILL	Posted - 2007.10.11 12:22:00 - [6] Originally by: Kurst I What I'd like to know: has any of u ever been into a 10/10? Seriously, Prov HQ is a pain in the 4ss if u want to solo it, but easily doable with the help of only one more guy. I did it 3 or 4 times so far and didn't get an escalation or dread loot, but nevertheless it's fun But it shouldnt take u hours to find it, as it is a base 3 combat site afaik (I know, there is no "base x" for combat sites, but they seem to be differentiable by their base strength which seem to be 2,1 and 0.5 with sifts). However, Prov HQ is definitely a bit harder than a 6/10, but I also saw The Maze (10/10) for a few times, and compared to that, Prov HQ is a piece of cake. I'd really love to see Prov HQ or Military HQ (not sure about name, something with "military"...) escalate one day though Kurst I How do you run the HQ solo? I couldnt tank the dps as long as the Siege Sentrys are still alive. So i needed my osprey alt:) Mind sharing your setup/shiptype?

Anyway, this time you got crappy loot but would you be whining if the site had dropped x many invuln fields? No, but you obviously would if the next site you scanned down wouldnt. the chance this happening is zero! its almost a wonder if a fatcion spawn is dropping anything at all.. just rescript them like ded plexes. each overseer drops a effect. so you know if you run it you get at least 200mil out of it.

Yes it does suck when you don't receive anything, but even in the old static plexes this would happen. Not as often but it happened. at least you always got the overseer effects. the a-type mods were probably stockpiled pre static nerf.. ahh i didnt read jita trade alt.. a-types seem to come form cosomos then.. :)

Ok i*ll help you along with your next post: "Oh so all the a-types are from easily farmed cosmos plexes and there's almost no deadspace gear apart from those on contracts apart from 3bn isk gist x-types? Well thats a clear indicator on how failed exploration is and that the only ones with enough time to do it are unemployed people that don't understand that over time they'd be making more isk on high sec hulk mining or something" i agree that the ded's are not common enough. on the other hand i have to admit that i rarely scann for unkonws due to the anomaly bug. but imho exploration gives me a very good isk/h ratio if you stick to radar/mag site, probably not as good as lvl 4 whoring, but you can do it afk on your alt. also those sites get a boost next patch.. one thing i wonder tough.. whi is it possible to farm a-types. please mve thhose to exploration only to. we dont need static farmable lootdropps in cosmos.
