Items And Loot Archive

It seems the loot system had a tweak made to it in the last patch. I was unable to find one container today or much of anything else. Just last night before the patch I was finding a locked container about every 15-20 kills. Today I found 2 pistols and a sword. I hunted all day too (10-12 hours).

Anybody else experience this after patch?

well i heard that the low lv thugs dont drop containers but that was on the forum so who knows.

But i did notice i looted about a total if 5 times today and that pisses me off to all ends. Looting is my favorite thing, i like the idea of find items off things i kill not making it. They took the little good looting was away. Now only if you are lucky enough to loot in a group do you get anything good.

I killed about 30 NPCs last night and didn't get so much as a mellon. I'm hoping it's a bug that they're going to adress in a hotfix soon, and not that they just decided to decrease the frequency of drops in general. Fingers crossed.

Butchered abotu 20 spice fiends and got VERY little, but I did get one of the COA disks... At least I won't have so much junk cluttering up my inventory. But the junk CDEF's for slice grinding was nice.... it'll probably change again soon anyway, so i'm not going to waste my energy getting mad about it. It's still way too early.

Heh... I need 3 containers to level up to terminals...THREE!! (this is assuming I guess correctly on all three of them). I probably killed around 50 NPCs last night trying to get my 3 containers. What did I get? If I was lucky, I got 15-100 creds off of them...sometimes...well most of the time...not even that. I started out just shooting them and *attempting* to loot. After a while, I pulled out my brand new R2 droid (which the devs broke b/c the storage compartment is now NON EXISTENT...where as before, it was just bugged so I couldn't put anything in it.)...and I grouped with the droid...so at least I was getting 75 XP per instead of the 50 or so that I had been getting before the group.

And before yall go saying I should have asked around the starports or populated areas, I, for one, find that to be highly annoying when someone is shouting about unlocking containers, so I try not to go that route. I did ask a few people in and around the starport, but the story was always the same...the MOBS just aren't dropping the things like they used to. As it is, it's looking like I'll be stuck at slicing containers until the devs fix the drops.

I thought containers were going to drop more frequently post-patch. Man, I am SOOO glad to be past that stage. God, that was horrible.

At least pre-patch, I did find some interesting loot, especially clothing items. I'm seriously decked out, and once in awhile get asked who my tailor is. I tell them it's agang of Desert Demons in Mos Entha.

I'm guessing the thing with the droids is that, pre-patch, they would appear to have storage units when they actually didn't. None of my droids have storage compartments now. Apparently you can only store about 5 items in them anyway.

hehe Tomasi, i used to get that oo:

"Hey Sau, who made your clothes?"
"Not sure, I killed a man for this coat, i killed another for these shoes. Another died for this shirt and another died for my trousers."

I miss the free clothes...

"Hey Syster, that's a nice robe."

"You like it? Some swooper gave it to me... It took forever to get the blood out, but it's looking pretty good now."

Well day 2 and still the same problem. I'm going to bug it when I get back in the game.

Well...I'm now down to needing 500 slicing points to level to terminals...that's TWO containers!! I'll only need one if I successfully slice one for a buddy of mine here in a little while. But that'll still be ONE container short of what I need.

I've killed every NPC person I've seen in the last 2 days and haven't gotten a **edit** thing off of them except credits, a few pieces of clothing, and some useless melee weapons.

This sucks that I'm stuck in slicing limbo!!

*considers looking into alternate professions*

I've killed well over 200 NPCs since the patch and not 1 container.

Just before the tailors could make gunman dusters I looted 2 off NPC and sold both of them for 2500 each. Everyone wanted it. Ahhh the good old days.

I was walking from my house/shop to Mos Espa today and one of Jabba's Thieves attacked me. When I looted his corpse I got a locked container...Yippee! More slicing xp for me.
