    Your colleague from support told me to post my idea here since he thought it's a good one.
    As this game has some years since it appeared, some of the players who signed up more than 1,2 years ago and still play, have not had the chance to get some of the more important unique items. Now i know the drop chance is the same for everybody, but why should it be. I believe it would be better for both players and Bigpoint to change the drop chance so that it increases with experience. I will support my idea with arguments:
    - most players who play for more than 1-2 years have reached a limit, some of them invested and bought gems and other goodies, so that now they either reached a limit for their investment in this game, either they are not stimulated enough
    - if the unique items drop chance would increase with the amount of time, money and experience of the player, they will have an extra incentive to make the new items good and invest more in andermant, which is good for Bigpoint too
    - yes i'm mostly talking about Khalys weapon, which some players, including me are hunting like mad people with no results and we do it even if Khalys is harder to defeat now. If you feel that increasing the drop for those important items, would somehow flatten the players status, build other more powerful items and in this process, raise all players to another level of greatness because now we are kind of stuck.

    I, for example, if i don't get predator bow, have no real chance of getting better and even more, no incentive to buy more andermant. Think about it, as i believe it's a good way to revive this game for those players who really play this game, because right now, a good part of them are unhappy of reaching a level where it's extremely expensive to go higher. I do think you don't expect that all of us who like this game should invest thousands of euros to gain a better character status. Build better unique items and increase the drop for the current ones which are old.

    Good idea but than unique won't be unique anymore
    but this is true those who had not been"assigned " to get predator bow have very small chance to get it to me this is like 0.0000(1)
    those with old Ip, like me , have the chances even lowered so it's 0.0000
    this is only guessing but i assumed that my char is allowed to get only defensive unique items ,no real thing like bow :(

    Trying to "manipulate" with the fact that "you" give "euros" to Big Point it's not right.
    You can buy the Shady one from Shady John, 200k or 210k Anderment I don't remember right, it is almost the same with the one from Khaly/Mortis. So results are the same, BP gets the money, "you" get the Unique.

    If this post was without mentioning the "pay" thing, would be more likeable.

    Some players get Khalys unique on their first try. A 2 year old player like me who plays everyday including at Khalys gets nothing. So I see the point in your idea I agree with it, alot of strong players farm like hell and get nothing.

    Why does every ranger think Predator is the ultimate bow? I use a Leg. Sunbow - hunting- on my ranger and it is far better than the Predator bow. Its base stats were better than the Predator outside of the speed. But I'm not one of those players who is trying to buff to 2,0 attack speed because I do not need to nor do I really want to.
    Unique weapons are all limited in enchantments while drop are not. I just do not understand obsession with weapon unique's when most of them are just mediocre in comparison.

    I agree. If they were to increase the odds of anything for long time players I would much prefer better odds for getting max stats when crafting legendaries.

    Luck be with ye,

    one little secret i miss when i was lower level is not to keep lower level uniques/legends but they become excellent when upgraded...so keep you legends...

    I agree 100%.
    I have a lot of unique items but I use non of them. I only keep them for collection and gems storage.

    @freewayfrank i didn't get small unique items either, but i hear you with legendaries ;)
    @moby31 they will still be uniques, to be honest since they claimed they increased the drop level for some bosses like Khalys, i'm not getting anything, zero...but as it was before, presumably lower i got items, so you see the irony here
    @Geobli what's wrong dear? truth hurts? I give, others give, all good players give euros, can't i point out the truth? I'm not manipulating anybody so go take your frustrations and offensive comments and leave us to have a reasonable discussion. Thank you very much!
    @MikeyMetro that is a good solution too :D

    @moby31 that is a very good point, it's not the same if i throw 4 or 6 arrows on a full concentration. Farming for a legendary bow that could be at least as good as Khalys bow would take forever and it has to be even better considering the 20 concentration points

    At least 50% of the new legendary bows are better than the Khaly's bow.

    Hahaha, guess truth hurts really, but in my case... what would hurt me? That you pay and you wont anymore? Come on. :D:D:D

    Getting more chance at Uniques as a more experienced player suggestion is good, why would ever someone dislike that and what to discuss... if was possible to vote I would vote "Yes, good suggestion.", unfortunetly it's not.

    "Manipulate" and "you" are not only for you, there are maaaaany people in the forum writing the same thing, if they don't get what they want they will stop paying... lol, like they pay for someone else, they are paying for their own fun/joy. When and if I pay in a game, I do it for my own fun too, no problem with paying, why not? :) That's your threads part, so I discuss it. I'm negative when someone whines, how he pays and how much he pays, what's the problem with that? Everyone likes and dislikes something, right? We can't be all happy with everything. :D So, like I said this suggestion/post will be more likeable without that. The End.

    @Geobli I understood your idea the first time. I don't stay here and read the forum so i don't know if other people are whining. I just wrote to support for a real problem and raised this question the same like i did here because he said it's a good idea. But i didn't whine out like a kid who wants his candy, i tried to build an argument. Adding myself to that argument is probably a mistake but i prefer to talk for myself. Surely you see that only you called me a whiner, falling into a logical fallacy of generalization. Thanks for your second comment, it's a little more positive in debating issues ;)

    Well, sorry if was to harsh and offensive, I discussed a part of the post "I, for example, if i don't get predator bow, have no real chance of getting better and even more, no incentive to buy more andermant.", didn't made up anything, maybe misjudged it. :) I didn't try to cause you frustration, I just pointed out, that's not "cool" and will be better seeing posts without that mentioned in them.

    Khaly kills for me are around 2,2k, but let's say 2k+ and Mortis kills around 30, the only Unique I get from Khaly was 8 or 9 Masks, no world loots or PW Weapon/Shield drops and from Mortis 1 Amulet. So something that increase the Unique drop rate would be good, even if I don't need those on my RA, but talking about real increase, cause the last 1700% Unique drop increase for Uniques from Bosses didn't affected the actual drop chance of them at all.

    The fact that some Legendaries can have better results, like many of them mentioned, it has nothing to do with that. If someone wants to build, in your case, a high speed ranger with decent(almost good) dmg and a Concentration that will help shooting 4x Precision Shots in a row, Uniques are the only solution, Predator, Mortis' Mask, New Ring, Destructo's Torso. So, Uniques being close to impossible to drop makes no sense.

    I admit that taken out of context that looks lame i would have been better off not to mention it. I'm not perfect either or so it seems :p
