Thread: today's petition to fix loot tables and CL's

problem: the CL of every "high-end" mob/npc is so low that it is easy to kill, with or withouta group, resulting in very little "high-end content".


problem: because the CL of every "high-end" mob/npc is so low, nothing is really dropping worthwhile loot. (except aukuan's, reportedly...BORING).


DJK's are level 84 (or 88?) and are easily soloable - they drop holo's.

Krayts (ancients) are roughly level 94 - they may drop tissues, slicing loot, or "GOOD" pearls (which are 99% of the time useless and tune extremely poorly).

Nighsisters - no nightsister is above level 88. unless axkva is..but who really gets to hunt her except the guy who camps it at server up?


solution: Give nightsister Elders, DJK/DJM's, Krayt's (and whatever other mobs..the morethemerrier!)aCLof 200+.

First: make them hit relatively hard (1200 points non-aoe, or at least not always AoE attacks -removethe old13,000 point AOE hits that are impossible for all but master defenders to absorb).

Second: make their health regen pretty fast. currently, anything over CL 84 regens pretty well and takes a while to kill (solo at least). this is good. I would think that a CL 200 mob should take at least 3 damage dealing toons, (with healing toons for support) to take down.


The focus of the Dev's should be to create "high end" mobs that requirea well-rounded group of dedicated tanks, damage dealers, and healers to take these down. you shouldnot need a group of master defenders running AI or just ranged chain-rooting profs taking these out. the focus should be on making a well-rounded group a requirement.


summary: give us CL 150+ mob's/npc's, make their health regen fast, make them hit "reasonably" hard, give them worth-while loot drops.


OPTION: if the dev's don't want CL200+ mobs, then fix the loot tables so high-end loot drops off whatever the new "high end" CL level is. (if it's 110, then things like premium crystals/pearls should drop from those, as well as useful CA's and AA's, good weapons and components, high end loot kits, etc).

Because they fail to address this issue a large group of us have gone to other games. I havent played SWG because of this...whats the point...I have done most everything and I am at the mercy of the Krayts ATM. Moreover, how are my new guildies who are low level paddies supposed to protect themselves with a saber thats 200-300 and a 35 FC?!

FIX THE LOOT

my groupcan go to hunt krayts for over 3 hours and get 3 slicing tool and a set of scale and a group of afk camper in the aakuan cave can get +10 jediattachment, i have done 5 times the stronghold yesterday and i got only 2 slicing tool and 3 bad lance,2 week ago i got 3 good crystals from the stronghold , have you reduced the drop rate of the GOOD CRYSTAL TOO???


there are a lot of jedi andyou can't stop it. then lowering the drop rate of GOOD crystalthe jedi have all crap saber and the most stupid bh can kill they. sorry for the english but many people is leaving for it and many other are selling loot at huge price for the real value of it.

SOE are the best BH's in the world they killed off every jedi in the universe with one idea.
If carlsberg ran a server it would be a pre-cu.

Fix the loot drop not the creatures. I shouldn't have to join with people i don't know to go hunting just because all of my friends or guildies are off line. I shouldn't be forced to go with people to hunt at all. If I choose to hunt a high level mob I should get the reward vs. risk.

YES please fix this, loot hunting was one of my favorite aspects of the game, and since I'm a finished template with no frs, there really isn't much for me to do other than pvp, which is pretty much dead as well. There isn't much for me to do any more and I am getting bored with the game. I imagine the same is true for a lot of people here as well

I would really like to see more places like the DWB and make these places alot harder. Make them so that the loots rewardable but its like the nk place. You can do it but it takes time getting there and make the uber things like 2x the rarity of the crystal u get from nk.

i think instead of them trying out new stuff, we should have a new publish that is just a fix all the crap publish. Im willing to give up some new content for awhile just to get them to fix all the stuff already here.

no!


i cant see why a ns elder, walking on 2 legs and about the same height as my toon, should become an unbeatablefoe again (at least not against jedi)!


Big creatures like krayts, kimogilas or ghorax is a different story though

Well, i'd like to see them become "difficult" again - right now they're a joke. at the very least, they should be level 120+ so that they drop good loot according to the current tables. whether they should be soloable is debatable...


i completely agree with the kimo's/krayts/gorax being very high level, though.


we NEED premiums back...and more fun/useful loot (and attachments/schematics/armor drops,etc) for the non-jedi. they either have to revise loot tables to reflect the new CL's, or change CL's to reflect current loot tables.
