    Confused about Co-op

    So co-op is like instances yes? and yes loot drops but is the loot diff in every area or does it even matter?

    doesn't really matter. loot drops need tweaking in this game. haven't seen a drop higher than blue.

    Only white, green or blue loot drops in the game. (I get normally about 1 blue per Co Op mission run)

    For purple you need end chain quests (there are two which give purple weapons), get lucky on ark falls end rewards or lock boxes.

    Orange are only from lock boxes
    The Co Op maps are mainly about getting 5 key codes and using those on lock boxes (but there are better ways to farm lock boxes).

    lol only purple items i get from arkfalls are shields or flashnades and in co op is shields and nades or shotguns... loot system needs to be reworked being more random

    I would like to see the loot change.
    Better rewards would encourage more runs.
    You can still buy lock boxes with resources but it would be more exciting to have the possibility of a top orange drop on last boss than to know you are just farming for keycodes and a chance to get a orange from a lock box.
    Basically I'm only doing Co-op for the pursuits and the daily contracts, because as mentioned by Natjur there are easier ways to get keycodes for lock boxes.

    The loot system needs MASSIVE rewrite.

    Truth be told, I have yet to aquire one orange, I only get T3, and T4. and get blues from both, my purples come ONLY from Boss Kills, To be honest, I think in Major ArkFalls, and Minor Arkfalls, those who get the final blow on Red Arks, and/or Final Boss Should automatically get a purple, and a chance for an orange at the end, Per/kill, rather then 2 items which usually for me at least, end up turned into resources. I have well over 200k in Ark Resources Now...((I heavy mod my weapons)) I'd also like to see a chance at orange being dropped from Bosses, and a chance for a random orange, but always at least purple for he who kills a boss in a co-op instance. it would make them more lucrative.

    I mean frankly it makes no sense that oranges aren't publicized more. Their's an Ark Chalenge for it, but it's the one part that is 100% based on luck, and the dice almost always roll snake eyes on me for some reason. This makes getting the pursuit nearly impossible, I mean, I have trusted for VBI, Sole, almost trusted for Top Knotch, just recently hit liked for Paradise, and almost liked((I'm not good at PvP)) with Ech. also... for the love of god make some PvE for Ech. and for those who actually have trusted, let us buy/aquire a legendary item from each corp, not to mention all VBI's vendor has, for me at least, is Ech. weapons.. EMC... Echalon Mercenary Corperation, I hope that's what it means, otherwise VBI's selling illegal goods according to EGO after all, Earth Military Coalition weapons are outlawed.

    I think having better loot is just more exciting.
    What is doing an instance and killing a boss for?
    I have not played many MMOs but the ones I have almost always have a chance at a decent reward at the end.
    I mean the developers have gone through all the trouble to build some pretty decent co-op maps yet there is little reason apart from gaining weapon skill, random mob drops and pursuits, for doing them.
    A big payday (or chance of) would make it worthwhile for everyone.

    Loot is to easy to get in the game. You might want to get your ego level up before you start screaming about loot drops. Once you break 500 there is plenty of purples that drop. Don't forget you can buy from the faction vendors to get purples or a special at any other vendor. Oranges are to easy to get if you ask me. You also do instances for the contracts which lead to better items at the vendor.

    The loot isn't like other games it works differently so don't expect it to be like other games.

    Plenty of purple drops?
    I am almost 1300 ego. The only purples I have got are either from a few main quests or lock boxes.
    Get and occasional purple grenade from an Arkfall.
    This is a long shot from a chance at an Orange from a instance boss.
    I don't really care that much as I know they will come.
    I have had two oranges early on.
    What I am talking about is increasing the excitement, and reason / rewards for doing instances apart from keycodes.
