Thread: Loot pass #1 catalog
Loot is, and has always been, random. It is possible to toss a dice 10 (or 100) times in a row, without ever getting a six. Just that someone looted it there, does not mean you will. You might found it there, or someplace else. -shrug-
Yeah with that aqualish cave I didnt even get into the cave before I looted an elegant cabinet schematic...4th guy I torched.
- Fixed an issue where players were able to make manufacturing schematics for any of the items given out in loot phase 1.
My personal opinion: Although I did not like that you could make 1000 items off the looted schematics, I think only being able to make just one item is way too low. It should at least have 10 or 20 item limit, without the ability to make a factory schematic. These new schematics should help the crafter more than the person who loots the items. The crafters cant make a significant mark up on it if the person who looted it charges allot for the schematic.
Anyone have comments on this also?
There's no question the bulk of the new loot so far favors the crafter. As an architect, I can say it's about time we felt some love from the Dev's. Sure, I can make a schematic for 1000 couches, and so on, if I choose. If I do buy a schematic, I wind up paying well since I can profit from it. What's happening more often now is that people are coming to me and asking to do a trade (like a crate of cafe tables in exchange for the schematic), or, people are coming with the schematic in-hand and asking for the item to be made with a special name (or no name). As the crafter building the item, I just charge what I normally would to sell the item and both I and my customer are happy.

I agree. The prices for these items will sky-rocket. Not because they talk a lot of resources, or they're all that hard to come by, but simply because crafters will not be able to make these in bulk any longer. These items should be fairly cheap and easy-to-come-by items that are only here to add some new things to the game and give crafters some extra credits. I don't feel these items should be the "uber rare" items the Devs are trying to make them. Hell, they're just furniture... they serve no other purpse then that.
If they no longer allow draft schematics, then the Devs really need to increase the drop rate for these item schematics. Let them drop more often. I mean, after 100 Stormtroopers and who knows how many other Imperial NPCs I killed... the best thing I got was a Scout Pistol.

Try putting in a corrupt data disk and see what happens.

1. Datapad housing
2. Datapad backlight
3. Datapad connectors
4. Datapad battery
5. Broken datapad
I still have to figure out what this little puppy is used for though.
