[TEI] Assembly Launch NPC Drops

First off, thank you for the advance confirmation of the release of the A.S.

Okay so we have seen so many times during events, we work on killing a BOSS NPC to have it drop a Booty Chest when we are trying to collect Cargo/materials for quest. Is this issue being addressed for the Launch of the Assembly System? It is bad enough when we have just the Green Booty, but then you add the Ultra Booty (Red and Blue), and it really messes up the cargo drops.

It would be nice if these drops allowed us to collect BOTH cargo and Booty (if we so choose) or for those who have no Booty Keys could at least get the cargo we worked so hard to collect. Another idea would be to drop a key if the NPC is going to drop a Booty Chest.

 

Just curious, when is the A.S. going to be released?

 

Official announcement appears here;

But it is scheduled for Monday if no delays are encountered.

 

Yeah, there is nothing I hate more than to be doing a collection Quest for Promerium, and kill a Boss Sibelon and have the darn thing drop a Booty Chest instead of the Cargo pod. Total waste of my time and ammo to get no cargo when it is needed. And I agree the additional colored boxes being dropped during the event just increases the numbers of NPC that have to be killed for the collection quest to be completed, heck the last U B D I even had Lordakia on 3-2 dropping the Red and Blue Booty chests, luckily I was not doing a collection quest then but I do believe there was an event quest for collecting 2 ores at this time.

Please D O, during the A.S. Launch do not have the NPC's drop Booty Chests of any type, unless they also carry the cargo to be collected.
