Ya it almost seems that SOE thinks that if they make cool creatures to kill (with an appropriate level) then thats enuff for everyone to go hunt them. Its simply not enuff. Just like the Combat Upgrade (CU)they need a massive Loot Upgrade. (LU).

Even after two years I could still find something to do, some loot I hadn't tried for yet, but I can only live off of broken data pads and projectile rifle barrels for so long.


I'm a melee junkie what can I say. If I want to use ranged weapons I'll go play quake3 or BF1942. Something with speed, little lag and where you actually have to aim. I know, what a concept.






Oh man do I pitty you. I loved my Swordsman, was speed capped. After the CU, now he's a Merchant/Musician/ID, and his house is called the Rusty Swordsman. P.S. the merchant is just to have vendors to store my stuff in. Basically now a has-been avatar trying to fill gaps in the gameplay.

===================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.

I feel your pain as well. For the past few days I've been considering BE and merchant, maybe grab some artisan and go on a survey binge till my brain collapses. Either that or move on. Winter is approaching and the next project is out in the garage awaiting restoration.

The status of loot in swg right now is pathetic.. Instead of giving jedi all the love they need to give all players some love by having a loot revamp..

I wouldn't mind so much if SOE actually made some worthwhile loot. I don't necessarily care about skill attachments off meatlumps or anything significant off anything less than an 80 but the fact that I could kill a level 82 double gold and only get a melon is really disturbing.

Sigh.

I was having fun.

They do? I've found nothing lately. I thought the recent patch nerfed them even more. Since the patch I've looted junk junk junk and more junk.

The funny thing is, wasn't there already a loot revamp? I remember a bunch of hoopla on a friday feature a long time ago, and the gist of it was that "loot is cool, loot is fun, everybody loves loot, get ready for all the new loot". Well, what hapened?

there is a very simple way for them to fix the main reason they nerf all the good loot and then reinsert it to the game i read this on a post the othernight cant remeber who said it but it smacked me in the face like askilletall they have to do is remove all forms of macro looting such as remove 1 simple line that would kill the afk campers and that magic line is /loot rofl that would so screw the afkers and then they could give us loot hounds back our bone

Ya i agree with you guys. Amazing to me that people have to go BH just to get loot. Anyway keep the opinions coming. What would everyone like to see fixed first? Im sure Krayts are top of the list but what else? My vote would be elders for prem crystals attachments.

I would like to see NS Elders/SMC Council women/Spider Clan Eldersmade much tougher like make them CL 90 , faster health regen and force powers that way decent loot drops could be justified

To all of u who diss the Geo Cave...I guess you dont know...but SAs and Red Cubes are the only componets left down there worth anything...And yes they are worth something...-14 action red cubes might go as high as 2mil per cube....25dam+ dam agents might go for a couple of mill for the set. With my server alot of people are going swordsman, but the only way your going to get a good hammer is by going to the cave and looting the components.Since its pretty much empty..means AFK macros FTW!....And nobody will mind...


Pre CU hammers no matter how high damage they are, are all junk...Ask any swordsman who pvp's....The sac cost is just not worth it...
