Quest Drops and PVE Weapon Stats

[LostX]

Yes, grenades can be used at the start of quests like scrider to kill off the npcs that spawn near him. The same can be done if the players know the fight and shoot the npcs themselves right at the start, which would kill all the npcs within pretty much the same amount of time while not taking up weight and an equipment slot that could be used for meds or mags.

Granades are an important item when you are in team, specially in CQ. I don't think they should be removed because they are so used there, and if you are a quester you should know that.

While rockets can be fun to use to do splash damage to grouped up npcs there's no need for them when dealing with bosses and npcs are usually killed before they can even get a chance to group up enough in the first place. Most of the time when npcs are grouped up is when someone is luring them away from the other players so they can focus just on the boss. The person luring them, avoids killing the npcs so they don't spawn near the boss again unless it's a npc that causes trouble like the big guys in broken golem.

Again, CQ. If you have solo'ed act 1.4 with a rocket you should know it's useful as **** in the last stage. Just do walljump and when you reach the top aim down to you and you can do so much dmg to npcs, making them weak and easy to kill with your single MG, and situations like this can happen in others acts. And they were so used when ride was a thing in Boss Party.

The bosses and npcs that can be stunned can also be stunned just as easily with a normal dagger or by bfing. If your main goal is to finish as fast as possible though, it's less optimal to stun them because that's one less person shooting.

Seems like you never have done survival. There the stun is needed in high stages where the bossses have too many hp. And you say that dagger can stun as much as speedy dagger, but i still see ppl which prefer stun with a speedy dagger before a dagger.

SMG/pistols/revs can all be used to kill npcs that are far away and do so quicker than an MGs but become less useful when sustained damage is needed which is why I said they could use weight/damage/capacity changes to make them a bit more useful.

They're useful for kill npcs, and idk how a rev or pistol that can kill with 1 shot npcs needs to be more useful in capacity/dmg/weight. In SMG might need a change in weight, but that can be done making scrider ring more useful depending on the tier. (For example, myth ring could give 25 weight, with this u don't need any changes on SMGs or any other weapon)

I do agree SMGs are better than every rifle in their current state and I do use them along with my MGx2 as well at times. I've also used pistols and revs in the past as a secondary in scrider to deal with problematic npcs that are across the map from me.

They aren't only useful on scrider. On quests that you need be near to boss or x place, revs and pistols are an important weapon for bring support to other players. And SMGs/Riffles are useful as much as a MG when you are soloing, their DPS (Damage Per Second) is better than a MG, so in moments that you need kill faster npcs (such as in the last stage of act 1.2 or 4.4), these weapons are needed yes or yes. There's no need for any change for make them more useful imo. Maybe only in weight but as i said that can be fixed with scrider's ring idea.

The main reason I made these suggestion was to unclutter the drop table and if we're lucky to get revamped version of other weapons that are not completely up to par.

The actual droplist is big, that's a fact. This is the bad thing of the new droplist. But you forget something, there's boss party which gives 12 boxes. If you're enough skilled and have a great team, you can do this quest and receive a lot of items in 1 run. But if we really need a better drop table, then make separate drops is better than just removing items.

Edit: One thing in my opinion that could be done to make everyone happy is to remove less favorable drops from the most played quests, but have them still drop in every other quest. The only downside I can really see with doing this is that it may split up the community a bit too much.

This. It's the best way than having all drops in every boss. Right now if you want to hunt you only do School Quest, act 1.4 or Boss Party. I would prefer giving the most useful items (MGs, Riffles, Swords, Daggers and SMGs) to School Quest, Act 1.4, Scrider, FGK, and if possible Boss Party. And giving Launchers, Revs, Pistols, Granades, Long Swords, Kodachis, Speedy Daggers and Hotshots (i'd like to use this last one in myth) to the rest of quests.
