bounty hunter mission npc's ;

despawning and mission incompletes.

doesn't spawn.

spawns unattackable.

becomes unlootable after death.

spawning in walls.

after 2 years, NOT ACCEPTABLE

bounty hunter mission loots.

while i know the loot tables have been forever broke, gold elite 36k health npc's dropping only a jar of foraged bugs, IS NOT FUNNY.

i thought the point of the random big boss was good loot? perhaps not.

why bother adding new content if you can't make it work like you say it will?

also whats with all the smuggler stuff, when did we become the providers of all slicing materials?, i know our smugglers don't like having to rely on bh's to provide them with their recources.

/agree This should be an easy fix. I took out an elite yesterday and got the same thing.

I dont mind this so much. thanks to the smuggler loot I never pay full price for slices to my gear.I just give it to smuggler friends for free andI get free slices. Not a bad deal if you ask me.

Good post. Good hunting

Just consider it the price paid for getting the good loot. I agree it's frustrating, but it's better than what we had before.

And right now if we make a big fuss about it, we'll have all the other professions on our backs screaming for the nerf bat because their designers haven't bothered to make any positive loot changes for them.

I have done about a hundred NPC mission post Pub 21 so far and i can not complain about the bugrate. I can count the bugged mission with one hand so i am fine with it.

I know what you're saying, I've stopped BHing.

Reason?

I have taken 3 lvl 80 Boss marks on my own.

The drops I have gotten from them were: Foraged Bugs, Trandoshan Intraframe, and some armor attachment that does +2 to mele defence.

Then I see people working on their 3rd box of investigation that already have close to a full set of BH armor. (Not on, but bragging about their newly aquired armor)

I just don't understand how incredibly screwed I am getting.

A MBH that kills a lvl 80 boss mark should get something better than "Foraged Bugs."

Also, I have gotten a LOT of bugged missions.

I noticed the bugged mission rate drops when you pick up missions that are closer to your level, but I've had days where the bugged missions outnumber the regular missions.

Persoanlly i cant complains about the bugs and loot drops... yeah you get some bugs.. but it is SWG and since my main toon is MCH i'm used tot hem.. as far as the loot goes... i've gotten some uber loot... you just have to keep at it.. its not 1 in 5 or even 1 in 10.. sometime si need to take out 20-25 npc's in a rown to get teat ione BIG loot....

What i'm annoyed with are jedi.. but lets not go there

Perhaps I am the only one, but the 30k+ bosses are not a huge problem for me, I tend to use more elements of PvP-like combat, and 0020 medic and a healing shirt is still helpful.

All I have to say, is there is something not random about how the loots drop at different times after reset, or whatever the bug in the loot system is, the loots are not random. During one 25 mission stretch, I pulled 24 smuggler items or jars of bugs in single loots, with one mark having no loot. This is against 7-9k, 16-20k, and 30k+ marks, at NPC level 81-82. I have seen streaks like this on several occasions, and there is some mechanic in play determining the drops on a systematic level.

At other times of the day/time after reset, I'll pull double and triple loots more than 50% of the time. The loot breakdown seems to be a chance of getting loots in 3 catagories.... |smuggler item or bugs -- 99% of the time, probably the default| + |BH armor appeance loot -- xx%| + |Random item drop -- xx%|.

I'd be interested to hear if anyone has ever looted more than 3 items from a single mark of any level.

i've looted once:
bh schem, white crystal, icb
bh schem, white crystal, micro plating
HLC, white crystal, bh schem

but 3 at once is most ever and these drops came from normal npc marks, no boss or elite

Do we ever stop complaining? Is this the Jedi forum? This is the best this prefession has been since launch.

I can vouch for one bug that may be unfixable. When the mission aborts, it may be because its over water. the program calls for it to respawn in a different location so you can actually fight it. Unfortunatly, it may respawn in water again. The program has no way of knowing how large that body of water is, so it just aborts. somthing you would have to do anyway if you came up on your target in the middle of the ocean.

Now,I know what your saying. "Why cant they program them to NOT spawn in certin locations?"

The waypoint system in the game make this almost impossible. There are trillions of possible waypoint locations on a single planet. You would bassicly have to punch in each and every waypoint number into code to keep them from spawning in that zone, which is why they spawn in walls of player cities as well. Players can place and remove buildings at will. Its impossible to track. By the time they finnishedentering all those numbers into code,no one would be playing the game anymore.
