Thread: Status Of LOOT in SWG
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 ....
American corporations=disturbing .
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
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.

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.
