SOE hasn't asked me to do this or anthing, I'm just curious to know what peoples opinions are in general on this. So if the topic comes up then I can say to SOE "well I asked the architects about loot schematics and the opinion was..." then fill in whatever you guys say below.

1. Do you like loot schematics?


Yes


2. If offered a loot schematic or NO schematic, would you take loot?


Yes


3. Are limited use schematics OK with you?


Yes


4. If you said yes to #3, then how many uses do you think is best? 1,2,3.. ?


1 is ok 3 is even better. the less uses the more I charge.


What would be nice, is.. If i had say 20 blue couch schematics why not let me learn them all and have 20 uses when i go to make them. It really bites to have to learn, make one, learn, make one.

This game is already a slave to loot. I would love to see "loot" acquired through quest rewards instead of pulled off the dead body of something.

5-ish is best, imo. I don't really like single use items, but I do like being able to make a few from the schematic.

1. yes (given below)
2. yes
3. meh, guess so
4. 3-5

And I agree with getting rid of the "learn/make/rinse and repeat" -- whatever the limit is, let me learn it several times and track how many uses I have left.

1) YesI like them. It's not permanent schematics, but it is something.


2) Yes.


3) I'd prefer no. Permanent ones would be better.


4) -IF- we have to live with limited use schematics, then 5-7 uses per would be good.

1. Do you like loot schematics? yes or no.in addition to normal schemes. Both have their place

2. If offered a loot schematic or NO schematic, would you take loot? yes or noyes

3. Are limited use schematics OK with you? yes or no

yes, makes sence for looted ones

4. If you said yes to #3, then how many uses do you think is best? 1,2,3.. ?

2 use for the paintings ends up being more than I need.... but one for blue couches is a little less... depends if you can do a factory run. But if you can't do a factory run, probably best if it's one use. Annoying - but it gives something for the bad ass hunter-killer types to do...








Why do people pay to play a MMORPG but not want to interact with other people?
Why, SOELA, why? Did the entire management join a cult, and at the same time perform home lobotomies?
It takes less time to look at the stickies than to ask a question and wait for sarcastic replies. So please oh PLEASE ask the same question many times. I enjoy the sarcastic remarks.

Good idea and I agree with you. Learn, make, repeat is a pain.

1. Do you like loot schematics? YES


2. If offered a loot schematic or NO schematic, would you take loot? Not sure I understand here. I would rather have recipes I can learn permanently, if that's what you mean. That way I could go on adventures to obtainthe rarest items and use them to have a viable business that doesn't replicate the same thing as everyone else in the galaxy.


3. Are limited use schematics OK with you? YES


4. If you said yes to #3, then how many uses do you think is best? At LEAST 3

They have voiced distaste for a system that gives 1 use, from what I see most of the time.


Look, this isn't rocket science. A system is in place where we make things and people buy them. People always want to buy unique things. There's at least 200 items in-game we cannot craft now that could be changed to drops, or recipes from quests. The majority of things we make from schematics are just silly. The good things we cannot obtain without paying through the nose or having multiple characters, of different factions too!


Also, it's the little things. The game table, that plays no game, the radio that plays no music, the lack of colorization. All these things could be made to enhance the game, yet we hear nothing.

In addition to what was already suggested before: one use+ let them stack + multiple drops. In detail:


  • make them one use only

  • shematics stackable in inventory (up to10 like some crate)

  • shematics stackable in datapad (maybe maxed to10)

  • multiple drop per loot possible: like with krayt tissues ... they can come in stacks of 1 to something
