Raid rewards for solo

Being able to solo Rancor on auto and getting out of top 10 is insane.

Devs, just add a bonus rewards for soloing the rancor!
  • Would like a 'roll of the dice' feature for say 25 crystals. So we can attempt to get better rewards.

    I'm sick of getting a full mk4 carbanti and scanner salvages at rewards for rank 1. Essentially worthless.
  • Don't forget there are new people playing too. Might be an easy solo for you, and something to work towards for somebody else. Rancor is a stepping stone now. HAAT has become that way for some guilds too.
  • I don't see why giving something to veteran players would impact new players?

    This, if they were going to make such a big change to the rewards they would have done it when they updated the raid to randomly determine the order. If they were going to give better rewards to everyone there would be no need to introduce a random order.
  • I think EA doesn't like raid or phases being solo-ed, "not worked as intended" they said. So just be glad they haven't find a way to stop you from soloing, and don't even expect they'll make a special reward for soloing.
  • Rancor needs reduced TMR. Doesn't kill people working their way up and keeps it somewhat relevant for the larger guilds, meaning it takes a tad of effort instead of just select squad, auto and watch TV.

    was that actually stated about rancor. I dont believe rancor is considered end game content. The haat was more designed to be end game content. I also dont think "not WAI" was how it was phrased, more of a unintended effect, when things were introduced that could solo a phase with minimal up front cost. i.e. single toons or week incomplete teams.

    Chirpatine has been around for a while and has never been stated to be an issue, and it showcases many of the similar issues introduced in the Nute team. This team requires an investment up front to make it work and maximize damage. IMO this is why this team is not outlined as an issue.

    I dont think they have ever said Rancor soloing is any issue, even on auto.
  • Honestly what should be the reward for soloing in your mind? Because other than everyone getting first place, which I really hope I don't have to explain why this is stupid but will gladly do so if asked, I don't see anything simple that can be done about it.
  • Maybe we need a new tier of Rancor, a harder one, on par with the HAAT's difficulty. Or two new levels (one on par with NAAT, on with HAAT). Increasing the rewards for the lowest levels at least, maybe without Han shards.
