Thread: Loot drop randomness: a hypothesis
The way it was explained to me by the Devs is that quality of loot is decided by a dice roll, with a range of around 1 to 10,000.
So you keep on killing something over and over again until you get a dice roll over 6,000 or so and it should be something useful depending on what loot has been assigned to their loot table.

Yup think its more about loot table than other things.

How many times did you roll up on something new (like dungeons, big game, or the new master BH loot) and go "Wow, I must be really lucky!" ?
How often do you have dry spells and good runs, and how often do they seem to last?
A third, really out-there question is, what is your race? (I wonder if there are inherent racial bonuses for looting. Personally, I am a Bothan.)
1. My first MBH mission after the patch I looted a CA. In my first50 (or so) BH missions I always looted 3 items at a time off the corpse. I accumulated about 15 attachments from probably the first 100 missions. Since then I've looted 0 attachments, 1 set of energy cores, 1 set of casing.
2. I had an insanely good run right when MBH missions came out. I've been on a dry spell for what seems like forever in MBH missions. I've done atleast 10 per day, sometimes up towards 25.
3. Male Zabrak.
