Everyone is saying that the NS aren't using force powers, but I fought a couple of NS Rangers a couple days ago and I got force choked and lightning tossed at me.

I looted a +10melee defense attach about a month ago. Since then Ive looted probably 1000 lances and vibros that I have just deleted, couple hundred clasps, aton of leather , shards of course,and all the usual ns junk. Over that time I also looted to LVA's with mind poison dots. THe strength where both in the 350's and the potency where both 90%..sounds pretty nice right? Well the catch is both of them have under 100 uses on the dot and the conditions are both 100/750. And yesterday after killing probably 10k protectors, spell weavers, rangers, sentrys, innitiates, whatever the others are called, and a few elders here and there I FINNALLY looted another nice SEA...combat medicine use+12...???????????.........combat medicine use isnt a real skill mod. Its freakin broken and about as valuable as one of those encoded disks!


At this point I think its time to give up night sister hunting fora bit. Maybe the loots will get a little better. The thing is I hunt nightsisters soooo much it has become an addiction. Its like scratch tickets. Every NS you engage you are thinking "this is the one"...then you get a Lance with mind poison. I vented..I feel better now...peace.




GAH NOOOOOOO!!! keep them and sell them to 2-hand swordsmen and TKM's! we;re gonna need it next publish.. see my previous reply above..


edit: err.. make that, previous reply on the last page..

We don't know for sure yet if those new weapons will actually need the vibro motors. StGabe has the schematic on TC right now and I think he's waiting to build one because the devs have said that all of the stats and components on the new weapons might just be palceholders for now and might not reflect what the actual final version of the weapon will be like, so he isn't sure if he wants to waste his only NS vibro unit on TC.


The actual components used to build these new weapons might be components looted from the deathwatch bunker.

He's talking about vibrolances, not vibro motors.


There's some confusion about vibro motors... Nightsister Vibro Motors only drop from Axkva Min, who is the 'boss' of the Nightsister stronghold and only spawns once per day. She is 100% kinetic resist, and 60-95% resist for almost everything else. They also are not a common drop for her. In other words, these things are rarer than rare and if you see someone selling one (they usually go for about 1-2 million a piece), snatch one up.

i have had a look, but can't find any witches. They do exist(or at least did) ihave seen screenshot. I have killed eldars(not solo, thats impossible for me) and just got cash. I am gonna activate the battlefield and head over there to try to find a witch. Will keep you all posted.


As far as i can see, it should still be dropping. no reason to take it out, like the tusken raider mask, stopped dropping for a while but will soon be back. maybe bicep is the same. anyway, i CAN'T buy one, i need to earn it else it won't be proper.


good luck all


hope you get lucky, and remember to brag here if you do

forgot to say, for those that don't know the battlefield is not constant, you need to converse with the NS protector outside front of stronghold. then it activates and you have to get there qiuck or they will all be dead. even with -500000000000 NS faction, the protector won't attack, you can always talk to her.

i started looting nightsisters just before they dropped their force powers (as close as a week) because i picked up heavy swordsman, and had a blast at the forced labor camp killing one or two or (god forbid) 4 at a time. now i can run down to all but the last chamber, dragging all the nightsisters behind me and use area3 with an ackalay powerhammer and slice 80% of the npcs down in less than a minute. i agree, this is disgraceful but where else am i going to get loots? the geonosian cave is camped to death, and if you want to get to the ackalay you have the beat the jedi guardian force-running in and dropping the it in a few hits. <-- mindless rant.


i still get some amazing loots, expecially of the elders, but the loots that are in now are nerfed too hard to even be fair. out of 20 elders that i have killed (the hard way, melee. the really hard way) only 5 have dropped. now i can do the forced labor camp and get nothing. they still hit hard and break my armor, i kill a nightsister protector and 2 stalkers at once and all my effort is worth is a REBEL TRANSMISSION DISK? a segmented loot that is worth 300 credits once you put it together.


the nightsister motors are still dropping, i have 9 since the bug and i am thinking of selling. i am not the only one, i know one person who takes her every morning after the restart. riflemen.... ooo, that is a sore subject. i have had my loots successfully stolen quite a few times by riflemen whom come up behind me while i tank the elder, taking damage and risk life and limb and armor, and they can spam strafe shot and steal (yes, steal) my loot. most can smile and say "its only fair, i did the most damage ". <-- bigger rant.


okay, i guess i got off topic and ran to the bigger problems i have seen. anyways, the loots are still working. i still haven't found a better place to hunt for loots (if anyone knows one, let me know ). i can tank a krayt and killing it in 20min, but the rifleman problem is much worse there. i don't know, just another post for the devs to look at and wonder "why is that pile of cash crying? i didn't even know it could talk."
