Igotdiffrent stimpacs & crap weapons fromall types ofFSmobs, including DJK/DJM on dantooine, months back. If the DJM/DJK's (and the DJM spawn fromthe Imp prisoninparticular)onlydrops the same now, whatcanI say, did peoplereally think theycouldharvestthemfor everandever. Afix/nerf,call itwhat youwanthasbeen expected for a long time seeing thatthe way to getthefinal part ofthe mission, theone that spawns the DJM ismorethen straightforward


And to the question about why DJM/DJKshould carry a blaster, well, just look at Luke,heusesa blasterfrom time to time long afterhe gainedhis master status (justcheck the dark empireseries) Ijusthoped they coulddrop weaponsequalto the old exceptional/legendarystuff

Not sure what people at soe are smoking maybe an experiment on how much well take getting screwed over or how meaningless game can be before we cancel

confirmed.


Killed numerous djks...111s...lvl 60 ish force renegades.


Dropping unmodded useless clothing,worthless weapons(pistols mainly),and health wound paks...(required med use in the high 80s).


What i cannot understand is why they have introduced useless loot to these npcs and not just quietly lowered their drop rates...i think the average player gets more frustrated and the "omg i cant believe this" attitude when they loot such rubbish as oppossed to simply looting credits.


What puzzles me even more is they do this to a npc which can be soloed...but by no means can it be afk macro killed as is what happens in the akkuan cave.Yet the akkuan cave npcs are rediculously weak lvl 24 ish i believe and they have a very high drop rate for mediocre cas aas.So the afk macroers can still loot fairly good items with little to no effort and the people who decide to search dant for hours and then have to use a resonable amount of skill/strategy to kill the high level npcs are rewarded with useless items.


If the logic behind this latest loot strategy can be explained i would certainly like to hear it.


Again i would of thought simply lowering the drop rates (and they were nothing high to speak of to start with) would of been a better solution than introducing useless items to elite mobs.

It was stated by the devs that the jediswere only there for the purpose of the quests content/story and were never supposed to drop the tapes just like the jedis that are outside the dark/light jedi enclaves which are super hard and drop nothing. But in light of this you would think that they would shift all the tapes over to some other "real" mob not a quest but we all know how that goes because its easier to nerf instead of doing some work.

The thing is I only kill DJK/DJM I find at random on Dant. I also kill just about any FS NPC I see. When the devs said "NPC Jedi" they clearly didn't mean only DJK/DJM's but all the FS NPC's on dant. All of the low level, the cl111's,DJK and DJM all drop the same crap. Low level pistols, worthless med packs, even more worthless clothing. To prove a point I looted a CDEF Pistol off a cl111 NPC on dant with a DPS if 9. I went just outside Coronet and found some really sad Thugs who wanted to die quickly. A single area attack and they all fall down, out of the group it took about 5mins to loot a CDEF Pistol which was....get this....a DPS of 15. I think the devs need to really take a good look at what is going on...this is just sad.


All of the npcs on Dant still drop crystals. The cl111's still drop Quality as usual but the chances are much lower now with the crap they added today.
