Remember, these are three TOTALLY different players though. All with Boss marks and all with similar loots. Two days ago I ran five missions and got two clear crystals, a +15 Poison Resist/+8 Rifle ACC AA, 3 BH schems and some smuggler stuff. Today though, BOOM. Bugs and posters? And with two other people getting the EXACT same things as I'm getting, it has to be some sort of loot cool off. Which like I said, I've been expecting it, but I wish we'd have had a heads up about it.





so 3 total people ran 10 mission in total....

First off your original post shows that you three are NOT getting EXACTLY the same... secondly you state that a few days ago you go some great loot...

Do you expect that every time?

I mean really....

If you look at what you got over a 2 day period... running a few missions.. . I would say you did great.

I get plenty of CAs and stuff from my marks if I grind outall day. Problem is..its all crap loot. Who cares about Droid assembly and Entertainer bull**edit**?





I don't what you consider "good loot" but I sold a droid engineer CA to him for 11.5 mill...Pretty good if you ask me..

Plus, I don't mean to sound like a dic*head, but seriously people, we see a new "Did they mess with the loot?" post every single solitary day. If they did, nothing we can do, but they haven't said anything so, my assumption is that the loot drops are still random. It's all a matter of numbers. I did about 6 missions the other night and wound up with one good loot. That's going to net me probably around 4-5mill...I've said it before, right now I'm averaging approx. one mill per mission because of the high end loot I get every 6-10 missions. Keep doing them and eventually you'll see a positive return..

And I just noticed, how can you possibly complain if all you did was 3-4 missions and your buddies did the rest? Do like 15 or so by yourself and then tell us if you've gotten absolutely nothing..Then we might listen.

To add more to my thoughts, I ran a total of 20 BH missions yesterday. Here is what I got as loot -


2 Party Posters


1 Valley View Poster


1 Right BH Bracer Schematic


2 Left BH Bracer Schematics


5 Jars of Foraged Bugs


3 Delicate Trigger Assemblies


3 Illegal Core Boosters


4 Ractive Micro Platings


2 Mandolorian Intraframes


I had a total of 3 double elites with 2 being 30K plus missions. Of those three missions, I got a Valley View, a Party Poster, a Core Booster, and a Jar of Bugs.


Also, the other two BH's that were running ran a total of 10 other missions on top of my 20. Of those missions, there were 2 Double Elite missions, both 30k plus. One gave up a stack of 3 casings, the other Foraged Bugs. None of us got attachments. I was the only one to get schematics. And I ran double the total missions they did.


This comes days after getting the one decent attachment and the crystal I looted. I must have just been on a good run of luck, because up until yesterday, I was averaging about 1 AA/CA every 8-10 missions. And I was averaging casings/cells every 2 30k's. So I'll run more to add to this today and see if it changes. I usually run 5-10 missions every other day. So my numbers are about as good as you can get in terms of accuracy on my part.


And for those that can't read well, I'm not neccesarily saying nerf. I've played over two years, have 4 accounts, and was MBH (Not 3040 or 3400) WAY before the CU was thought about. So I know it isn't a nerf so to speak as much as it is the dev's getting the loot tables into order. They have allowed the market to be FLOODED with attachments and loot from these missions. They will change it eventually. If you don't think so, you're an idiot. Look at the Jedi loot tables for crystals and pearls? No more flawless, premium, etc. And I've only seen a couple of Quality pearls since the CU. If you don't think the dev's control the loot tables and drops, regardless of what you might read, see, etc, you're wrong. But we'll see what happens.

personally i believe that there is a limited number of the eleite tapes that can exist on any server at a time. therefore when the BH loot was first intorduced you got them at a higher rate... but do to the large number of BH hunting loot and the demand going down alot of them are not being used and are hanging around in backpacks, banks. vendors. etc.... hence them not dropping as frequently. But then again i could be talking BS

I've been recording all my missions lately. Level/Class/Loot from the mark. As soon as I hit 100 (5 more to go) I'll post the stats.

I have to agree, something is going on. I haven't had a boss mark in over 5 days and the loot off the lower marks are jars of foraged bugs. In addition, the only CA i've looted recently was a artisan expirementation +11 with music enhancement +11. Makes me wonder what is going on.






I am still looting the same, no changes. Sometimes I go thru dry spells in game. You got a 22 point CA, the skills chosen are random, but it's still 22 points.

Heres a thought that just might work if you do it right...



If you are having a dry spell, bad luck with loot, etc.... try the following, works for me.... (read below)


































Do something besides Bounty Hunter missions for a few days/week, then go back. I did that, came back and looted around 20 million in EPCs and AA in 5 missions.

That's what I do. I have yet to loot any EPCs in the past few weeks. Only3 decent AA's. The rest was all Smuggler loot, BHA schematics, bugs and melons.
