Thread: Why Bother with all this Nice Pretty Loot?
It may have been crafted post CU from pre CU components that converted over with better stats then their post CU equivalents. One of my Galaxies premiere weaponsmiths mentioned this happened to him/
I like the loot weapons, my Proton Carbine's base DPS outclasses any carbine I've seen to buy from Infinity's best Weaponsmiths so far by between 20-40 points and with a lower Specials cost.
On the plus side my E-11 Mark 2 (One of Winona's excellent efforts :smileyhappy
may do less DPS than the Proton but it comes with a +17 accuracy bonus which helps a lot so it's all relativeI guess but I can get food to help out with the accuracy, cranking up the DPS is not quite so straightforward

Ok, so your gear is exactly the same. That makes you rely on your tatics. Who will win? The guy spamming his best special? Or the guy who plans out his attacks and carefully hits states and such?

They have taken all the individuality out of the game by Making everyone Exactly equel, after they have obtained MAX't out Gear.
Wits you say....'Yeah Right".
"Points to the sky"...And says..."Ohhh Look theres an Eagle"....., Hope the other player Falls for it as you go to Kick him in the Codds.
There are no Wits in this game, PvP is pretty Full on once you start a fight & Only "ONLY" your equipment is going to Save or fail you"....And if by Wits you mean, Some guy challenges you, you Quickly run off to collect a gank squad... Well yeah i spose that "Could" be considered using your wits.
The way i see it, having 100's of "Identical" Maxed out characters running about, one of two things will happen.
1. SWG PvP becomes a stailmate
2. It becomes a Twitch Based Frag Fest.
The Devs & Those Monkeys who Wrote the Code for the CU Didn't have the Forsight to Keep Players Individuals & not just Exact Clones of each other.
lol.. plan. the only difference between now and pre-cu is inthe the you could set up a combat queue and now you have to wait and press buttons more often, which takes your focus away from the fight and on to your cool down timers and your opponents buff/debuff zone to see when your root and states expire. everyone is still trying to do the same thing. it's still all about who hit who first, and that becomes an unfair match up when your servers are always laggy because the coders can't figure out what's wrong to allow 40 players on the same location at once without it causing problems 4 server boundries away...
you may enjoy the CU, but trust me, had you seen what we were supposed to get you would agree that this is crap...

Once everyone has had some fun, there will be nothing to strive for. PvP will be Boaring cause the guy your fighting is Identical to you, You are Both Maxed with Weapons & with armoe & doing nothing to each other.
Once everyone has done the Quests once & had some fun, there will be nothing to do. PvP will be pointless, cause everyone is 100% evenly matched unless you Condone Ganking.
There is no Challenge in a PvP game where everyone is eventuallym, exactly the same.
Well think about it, are you going to go out & get a set of Clone armor & a nice Kinetic Reward rifle, that have no better stats than a Crafted set of Comp armor & a Tuskan Rifle?
If it looks different, then it serves a differnet purpose. Yes I would.
Other than just looking nice, they have no practical use,
Looking nice isenoughto justify the value of something. People, believe it or not,do get things solely for the fact "they look nice" ie. visuallyappealing.
Art and Fashion are a couple ofthings in real life whose sole focus isfor the product to look inspiring, appealing, all visually.
My Comp will absorbe more damage than yours & My Tuskan Rifle will deal out more damage. Taking the effort to get all this new stuff whan a crafted peice is better is defeating the Purpose.
Not really. Most people just want them for the sake of collection.
The Whole idea "in Every MMORPG", is to Get better equipment by Killinga Boss critter & looting him for a slight advantage.
I have to laugh at this one. If all a MMO is to you is keep grinding to be "1337" then you're in the wrong game.
It's a Massively Multiplayer (Interaction and Socialising);
Role Playing Game (Acting out the avatar in a virtualised world).
It is not a MLGG (Massively L337 Griding Game).
Even if it was, generalising a genre is usually a bad idea, because you'd be wrong. People come to this game for different reasons. You don't dictate what you have to do.
I don't go round and point at people on the street and shout "You're wrong" because they have different opinions. SWG, despite being a simulation, you are interacting and conversing with human beings on the other side. Treat them as you would in real life. We all view different things of differentiating importance in life, and we do in SWG.
Take away the effect of a reward & all you have if a Showpony with no realpractical value.
Yes. Tell that to people in the Fashion and Art business. Ever occured to you that they might be what they're there for?
Same goes for GKD Loots,
Yeah, I hear those Giant Kimogila Dunes are a real pain.It's quite hard to scavenge something from a dune of sand.
Crystals etc. They cant max a wep or armor above the Stat Caps for weps & armor, so Anyone who puts something togeather with good resources & gets a wep to its Maximum Limits,
Once someone makes a unbeatable weapon, we'll talk about that.
placing a GKD Pearl in it won't boost it any furthr at all.
I wonder how many people have managed to get a Pearl out of a Giantdune of sand;
I wonder how many people think you can put a pearl in a T21;
I wonder if you're inexperienced.
Just for your sake:
It'sGDK - Giant Dune Kimogila;
GDKs don't drop pearls;
Kraytsdrop Pearls;
Youdon't put a Pearl in a T21.
It just becomes a name "Kryat T21", with the same stats as a normal T21.....2.4Million..heheh
Either you just have some damn WSs, or damn terrible ones,
Can you see the point i'm trying to make here? Loot rewrds Just Are'nt Worth the efort to collect.
Hard to take you seriously when you base your only example on a untrue statement. Also, if you don't want to collect them, don't. Other people do.
Mind you, Some of the Decor Loots are Quite nice & worth the effort of Obtaining though, I will admitt to that.
Some people might see the things you see as "not worth the effort" as "worth the effort".
/agree

Crafters are the biggest crybabies. Get a clue greedy bastardos, they made loot rewards so good because its you people who ruin a MMO, all the new mmos like MxO, EQ2, WoW, took away the player created economy for one simple reason, people CANNOT be trusted to run there own economy, why? Because of greed, you people tack on millions to anything unique. Scout trooper and other iconic armor go for 3mill on most servers, which is a major rip off, most people cant afford your greed prices, thank god for good loot so everyone can have a shot at getting good eqipment not just the rich. Most people and I hope crafters do all quit and die off so we can actually have a good game where everyone can find good things to use.
PS> Burn in heck Crafters.
