I wouldn't say krayts are worthless. And I don't recall ever looting anything worth mentioning off of nightsisters. I was down in the Geo cave the other night and i didnt get anything worth mentioning. Necrosis is too much of a bore to get to. Heh, I love the DWB though.

The loot situation is truly deplorable. As a Teannie Jedi, I'd pay lots for a flawless pearl or two (but not as much as they are going for now as they haven't been looted since the nerf - I'd rather just not play my Jedi toon).


In a game with so little content, the only things to do are loot, grind, or spam startports with worthless information that I could find on a vendor search.


I hope this is a lesson for all those people who begged for the Combat Nerf. SOE is completely lacking in talent, leadership, and creativity. When you ask them to "fix" something, you will get a ton of changes that you didn't ask for. Can you believe it has been this many months since the nerf and the game is still trashed?

I agree 100% ...the thing is ... the loot nerf happend ,or started to happen way before the cu hit ..




Nightsisters stoped droping exceptionals months before the cu ..their was no notification of that either ...Players spent weeks farming ns's before realizing the drop rates were nerfs ..a simple , no more ns looting would of save alot of trouble ..




Geo Caves were fun occasionally precu ..now .. its not fun at all ...The dxr and geo pistol have been nerfed to hell , really no reason to go there at all..Its kind of a shame the way they gutted this game ...Its like they are rebuilding this game live , while we are paying to play it ..Introudcing new planetes with controled content , controled loot drops ...Is their one reason to go to talus now , EVER ? lol ..



I mean lets face it , since launch LOOT has made this game what it is ..players wanted to improve their chars and the easiest way to do that was thru LOOT ...its exciting and fun to score something cool ... they have KILLED that with the cu ..and started to kill it even precu ...The bh loot is nice , looks fun ..lol to bad im not bh and wont go bh just to loot ..



ahh thank the mmorpg gOd's for crafting ...without it ..i would of thrown this game to the curb along time ago ...The funny part is , i still enjoy swg ..made friends , and i like to craft ..pvp ...ya know ...but i will not buy another soe game , or a sony product ...And i was huge on sony Tv's , sony stereos .. i usually upgrade my receiver every 2 years to whatever sony has out new ... I wont touch anythng with a sony name on it again... which was easily a few grand every couple of years ...Not because of a lack of "loot " ...but simply for gutting this game out , and remaking it ..in a very destructive " who cares about the customers " attitude .....We have so many planetes with NO content at all..with buged spawns...with bugged loot drops ..with inaccruact CL's .....and yet ....they are making another expansion to get 20 bucks out of you ... The dev team is working hard to not upgrade your product , the product u pay for ...but to take your money ....

Sooo. The question is now what?!

I do feel better that the cave isnt dropping, cause while learnding the CA and AA drop

"ropes" I spent alot of time in the cave and know first hand what an AFK looter is all about.


As I went on I moved to Champ missions which dropped some tapes I mostly got stuff that was not at all

really good.


So whats left? Im going to try the raiders on endor, anyone have any experience with those?

personaly the only thing i can find thats worth killing is random blacksun npc the loot rate is realy poor youll kill 50 or so betwen loots and there level 88-89 which makes for a nice fight
the best bit is after seeing 'you loot only credits' for so long when one has loot its acctually kinda exciting well till you realize its another set of bh gloves hehe but it could of been a jetpack base



Bothans are rarer than jedi
that makes me sad =o

Um I don't know what loot you were getting at launch but I'm pretty sure this game was 90% player crafted items until they implemented the Geo cave.

I have always said and still will say that this game was released way to early, I mean it has come along way from what it was in beta and when it first was released but the same things keep happening over and over again.


They try to prevent one thing and cause 6 other things from not working or making just plain disappointing. Things that a everyday PvE person enjoyed doing they have destroyed so you sit and ask yourself why doI even borther.


Looton various high lvl mobs are not even worth the time to go and hunt so that kills the thrill of me even venturing tothose planets, then the places that you know where good loot at least drops is over run by campers.


Why not just spread the loot out across every planet so there is something for everyne to enjoy going to, you have caves that are basically useless except forMyyydril which everyone will now goto to get sometype of good loot. Everytime you add nice loot you then take it away why? I could and never understand that it hurting the game, did it cause something else not to work right what is the actually reason if it is because of campers then spread that type of loot to other types of mobs instead of just one static group or location.


Funny thing that makes me laugh they will have another expansion coming out soonthat will contain a hard to find or rare piece of loot to only cause camping of that area, if SOE cant figure out that this is a bad move by now I really dont think they will fix anything for a very long time about loot drops.

great responses. i agree with alot of it.Maybe they dont want great loot because they dont want great players. Keeps things more balanced that way.


I think this but then i think of jedi...a preCU saber jedi couldnt be more unbalanced with a newly unlocked jedi.


so who knows

Nightsisters have worthless loot; krayt's are worthless; Geo Cave so worthless that its disturbing (WS cant even use the bones because it effects to badly on SAC).


If you love pve,,this game has come down to dwb and necrosis. Very sad. I used to love hunting elders; acklay; krayts but they just havent adjusted the Loot to correspond to the level of the creature. WHY IS THIS? Why adjust the creature without adjusting the loot to correspond to it.


Yes the creatures in geo cave can be killed and are well adjusted but nobody ever goes. Its empty all day long because the loot is worthless and there is no reason to go.



Anyway,,months have gone by and still there is no reason to hunt these things...Some of the greatest things ever created in this game are all but gone.

I agree. First time I ever looted something worth mentioning was off an NS was the day the CU hit - Got a Force Accuracy +10 off a NS ranger. And from that day to today all I've gotten is useless leather and 800 max pikes. Speaking of melee weapons, they need to improve crafted melee weapons, the only good ones are from Pre cu.



I'm like, 25% PVP and 75% PVE. It's just so fun to collect loot, share it and brag. And I can't do that anymore. Hell my exceptional pike right now is toilet paper, pre cu it was 1200 max, now its 650 max. 270 mod DPS for a M pikeman.


Only place I go to loot today is DWB, and the occasional GDK. Nothing else. This game should have more elite mobs that drop more high-end loot, so theres no camping.

Killed an Elder a week ago... and it dropped, brace yourself, a CDEF pistol. No lies. That is proof right there that loot needs to be fixed ASAP.

If a dev, or anyone is reading this, PLEASE, give loot some attention. PvE is pointless now.

Peeps, this game is about grinding, and paying monthly fees. Honestly thats all I seem to do.


Since the CU, I gave up a nearly full time crafter, nerfed to oblivion, and am now grinding that toon to be a Jedi in addition to the pre-9 full template Jedi that I already have and rarely play, cause there's nothing much to do in this one-hit wonder badge loot game. So, I grind more, and more.


DWB isn't FUN anymore, NS don't drop crystals and AA/CA anymore, Krayts don't drop pearls of any worth anymore, Geno isn't worth anything anymore since melee professions and weapons aren't fun anymore, and space never was fun. Other than once-thru badge quests, there's no warefare in this Wars game, just 1v1 red dot chasing versions of so-called PvP. And given everything mentioned in this paragraph, all the fun got sucked out of what was left.


So off with all of you, back to grinding and paying monthly fees. It's what we do here.



===================SIG================
Management change and credibility is expected & deserved, and really a requirement for me to desire to log in and not have my MMORPG time completely wasted. SWG's mismanagement, ongoing, lacks credibility. I have no desire to log into my toon, attempt to accomplish something, only to find out that my blue zebra, 12th level, with 20 badges, isn't going to be turned into tomorrow's 4th tier yellow monkey, and all the zebra's stuff is no longer of value. Without credibility, its just a duck hunt game that doesn't even keep score of how many shots land on a duck.
