anyone want this time back?





This is a decent example on why stuff like this doesn't belong in SWG anymore.

At least this was a Pre-CU weapon. It's kaput now!

I remember seeing good weapons looted with colored names pre cu indicating legendary and other level of quality...... can they still be looted or not? and if they are.... what can loot them and where?






YES!!!! they are still lootable, post CU I have been incredibly lucky, and found the Meatlump Cave14 times...it appears the not too many people are out there looking for it anymore...I'ma take a risk and assume your not on my server so won't interfere with my looting, but it appears the king drops an (Exceptional) or (Legendary) on approximatly one out of every 3 kills...here's a link to the guide that helped me find it, enjoy

Yes, because what crafters (weaponsmiths in this case) need is one more nerf. Oh yeah, and we need 2-3 people running around our servers with their unbeatable weapons yelling "I pwn j00!!!!111!!!!!"


Well anyone who puts that much effort into looting deserves one. Its a reward for hard work.




Considering those drops were random, I don't see how it qualifies as hard work. Sometimes it took lots of grinding and sometimes it didn't.

Luckily my Exceptional Powerhammer converted well, and still seems to be damned good....I have a collection of Exceptional and Legendary items (all crappy now) ready to drop in my museum when its placed....I dont think the devs will allow uber weapons like them again.

Are you kidding me? It isn't "hard work", it is merely luck thats all. I killed thousands of Nightsisters and at least a thousand Krayts, and I never looted one in my life. Yet, I know a few people who did loot them who just got lucky one fine afternoon, and didn't put in the "hard work" I did.


I'm glad to see these weapons go. They completely gated content for the rest of the population once ADK came about. I can't count the number of times I was working on a Krayt oran NS Elder, only to have some jerk come with his 5k damage T21 and out gun my entire group.Or visiting Lord Nyax for some tapes, only to see someone AFK camping him all day long with his uber T21. I know a guy who made over 350 million credits in ONE week camping Lord Nyax with his T21. That is just wrong, very wrong, and I'm extremely glad those weapons are gone and I pray they never return.

Perhaps I should've went into more detail. Obviously a 4Kdamage t21 would be extremely unfair (d'uh),but it would be nice to have the chance again to be able to loot something amazing to use for awhile. like maybe at most a t21 with a 500 base dps but very low condition and fast decay rate that cannot be adk'd. (we have a BH on ahazi that use 192 krayt tissue to make a LLC with 475 base dps and hit someone for 2.5K damage, so it's not like it would be THAT far out there)


And yes, I understand what CURB stands for, but should that mean that the chance of looting anything extremely great should just be thrown out the window? This game can't survive on PvP alone and if everyone gets the same weapons from kashyyyk quests, it makes them pointless, and soon the game will just get extremely boring again and it'll crumble......but then again it really doesn't seem like SOE cares if that happens anyways.

I don't think legendary weapons were helping pvp at all, but... It seems that most ALL loot is borked ATM. There is very little reward for the loot hunter out there, not a whole lot of motivation to kill high level content. I believe they should remove the CA/AA drops from the 24/7/365 camped aakuan cave NPCs and throw them on level 82+ NPCs like nightsisters... Take the decent drops from the 4-5 people on the server who camp the cave...
