Yeah, we all know about the problems with organics, resources etc etc, but the biggest let down for me was with loot components.
All my Nightsister Layers, Nightsister Shards and Janta Hides (regardless of their stats) were converted to things with "Health Bonus +0" making them 'converted' but basically useless.
And I thought deleting all my lower base armour would cost me a lot...this is even worse
On the plus side tho, I am still positive about the CU in general, I like it apart from that one thing really

Me too...and I can't believe we'll ever get it fixed since everything has been converted. What bothers me is that these bugs were reported beforehand. When SOE decided to go to LIVE, the conversions should have been their highest priorities. After all, you can fix a bug at any time, but you can only convert something once. This is an assumption on my part....maybe they can determine the stats before the conversion. Hope they prove me wrong.

Reported several times too.
The bigger problem I see with them now is since they are all +0 you can't tell if that was a 15% base layer or a 3% one.

I'm going to be angry if they don't fix this either, especially since this is a bug that we were telling them about from the very first day they started testing item conversion. I can understand not converting items that will no longer be in the game, such as the Interwoven RIS Schematic, but all the loot enhancers are still valid drops. How f'ing hard would it have been to write an algorithm thatadded up all the resists on a pre-CU loot enhancersand then converted it to a certain amount of +Health. God forbid SOE actually finishes the most important patch in the history of SWG before pushing it live.

all of my loot is packed in bags with a short description of the stats. IE; "NS Layers (7) 3%/-7", "Janta Hides (4) base",
"Krayt Scales (7) base", "Krayt Scales (11) 12% Kinetic/9% Energy" (maybe they average the resists for the health boost on krayt scales???)
Regardless, my crap better convert, or Im gonna light some fires under theCSRs I know.... I have on the order of 300 categorized bags of premium loot.....

Anyone know what happens to GDK Scales??. After GDK hunting for about 4 months i finally got a loot drop of 9 scales about 4 days ago!!!. Are they still used in anything?, and if so, are they still going to be as valuable as they where previously??

As somebody modestly looking forward to CU, I find this just more depressing than words. It would have been so easy to get right and they didnt bother. I must have 500 scales, hides, shards and layers showing +0. They had better fix this and compensate us by making them all good quality rather than base. Our professin has been stuffed enough.

I feel your pain.I have a loot house full of stuff too. But don't expect a named bag to be accepted as proof of anything.
