Items And Loot Archive

I want to confirm, from my experiences, what the above poster has said it is individual damage not the group. Yes it is stupid, but ask yourself how many things you would change in swg because there actually is a better way of doing it? So Im guessing you can think of a few things and then come to the realization that this is most likely how it works.

You sure about this? How do you know it's the highest damager vs. highest damager and not the group vs. the individual? I mean this blows a hole in every argument I've seen on how to deal with AFK POI campers.

Wow, I want to retract my above post. Today I was in nyax and a guy who always outdamages me comes in, we both are rifleman. SO I group with another rifleman and swordsman who show up and we agree we will split the loot since alone we cant outdamage this guy and he doesnt like splitting. So nyax spawns we get loot, ok 20mins til nyax so gets kinda boring. I wrote down the combat log numbers of the 3 rifleman, didnt worry about the swordsman because I have outdamaged him in the past. Now I know the combat log numbers arent what we actually hit for but all of us get the same resist applied so it is irrelevant. The ungrouped rifleman out damaged me and the other rifleman individually but we still got the loot. Same scenario with the next 2 spawns. So hope this means that it is actually group vs. individual damage and not individual vs individual. Any of the other people out there want to test this out between nyax spawns? I know this isnt conclusive data because I could've missed a few shots in the combat log but I took the numbers 2x and they were all pretty close to each other with the same people finishing 1st, 2nd, 3rd. Think what you want of it but after this I have changed my stance.

On top of this, he is using the droid exploit to be able to keep himself buffed the whole time, with his rifleman/doc alt. me and 3-4 others have submitted many tickets concerning this, and have gotten shady answers back. Saying they are looking into it, its been 4 days, what more do they have to do. get in game, look at them doing it, and do something about it.

There is a very simple solution to this problem, and it's coming soon.

Just eliminate /ui action toolbarSlotxx as an available command.

If you still do your recursive macros this way, you are a poon. Here is how you do a real recursive macro:

Macro name: iheartrecursivemacros.

Macro:

/shout I <3 RECURSIVE MACROS!!!;/pause 5;/blame;/duel;/shout I WANT TO DUELYOU WITHDB BECAUSE YOU DON'T!!;/pause 10;/macroiheartrecursivemacros.

note: You will need to target the macro hater in order for this to work right.

Here is another example:

Name: FoolNyax

Macro:

/target lord;/emote 'El Conquistador whispers to Lord Nyax that his fly is down in a way that will not cause Lord Nyax any embarasment.;/strafeshot2;/loot;/pause 1;/strafeshot2;/loot;/pause 1;/macro foolnyax

When you want to start either macro, you simply type /macro iheartrecursivemacros or /macro foolnyax (or hotkey them). In order to get rid of recursive macros, you would need to get rid of the /macro xxx option as well.

Thing is, I have a feeling that /macro xxx is a little deeper and more fundamental in the code than /ui action bla bla bla. If the devs haven't figured out how to remove rifle crawl speed AAs from the loot tables, they are going to have a hell of a time trying to figure this one out. They would just about need to get rid of macros totaly. If you think that will stop people from using macros, wow, can i live in your world? What a happy innocent palce it must be. (I mean 3rd party macros for all of you too innocent to understand what i am getting at).

/ui action xxx has more uses than just recursive macros or helping crafters grind. You can use it for such useful macros as: /ui action toolbarSlot06 (stores your bike);/intimidate;/warcry;/melee1hlunge2;/melee1hdizzy2;/melee1hdizzy2. It allows you to store your bike and go into killing mode with one swift press of the button. You can also use it for such useful things as taking all your combat foods with one button press, clearing your combat queue and switching weapons, changing your armor or clothing to fit the situation.

I'd have to say i agree with skye on this one, chilastra has some pretty bad afk macroers... i dont midn the cantina type, but at lord nyax its terrible, ruins the POI for all of us
