Bug report after session closed

I did lift the siege for the first time alone and was really happy to defeat DOLUS (9009 HP) and CORPUS (9009HP) and only got what....

15gold of DOLUS


18gold of CORPUS


YES 33 gold total.....

Wth - why should i ever try to kill them again? I needed(nearly mean wasted) nearly 2 hours to clear that siege
and died twice (so overall I made about 60k Pooled XP and lost 36k Pooled XP dying)

other loots: on the for me yellow ones (XP is ok):
Champion: mostly only gold and 50% rate a kopesh sword
Seige engineer: lots of different loot (gold, arrow, bow, wood etc.)
Marksmen: bow gold arrows
High Wizard: ingredients max 2 different , staff, wand, gold

Short: the only thing that is not a waste of time is killing siege engineers they give XP and Loot

THE BUG here:
no incentive to kill them all and get the champions and cabalists lousy loot...

give them better loot...
;(

 

@Rentier
I wouldn't call this a bug but feedback. They do drop some valuable gear from time to time (of course not every time) and that is especially true for Dolus....so there is some incentive, aside from the courage virtue and XP from clearing out the siege in general, and all the associated loot from the engineers. But mainly, also remember we are not finished with loot from mobs in general and balancing that out.

 

thx @Lexie , pls feel free to move it to feedback, for me its a buggy loottable....

 

@Rentier I think they need better communication on the loot chances so you at least know there was a chance to get something. I got a Dolus hood once and it was worth 320k gp, but every other time it is just an 18gp drop. Some form of game communication about how loot chances work would be fantastic.
