Thread: Lack of Loot = Game Breaking

I posted this in the Loot Poll thread, but I feel this is really a completely seperate issue. Do we have a "Loot" corro? Is there anyone to whom we can address this major concern?


Anyway, here is what I and many others have said:



When I load in now, as a fully temped Jedi and completed alt character, there are two main things that I am interested in doing.


PvP and Adventuring for Cool Loot


However, now when I want to go adventuring for cool loot I can not think of a single place I'd like to go or a single thing I'd like to do. I litterally stood at the star port the other night for about 45 min staring at the various planets going over in my head the places to go. Used to be some cool stuff on endor. Not so much any more. Since fighting NS takes forever and yeilds very little, thats pretty much out. The Aukkan cave is camped beyond belief. Can only hunt so many krayts before that becomes boring. They don't drop much and have a tendency to 'retreat' everytime I get the upper hand.


So now, what is there left for me? I'm not tired of my characters or my guild. I enjoy the game mechanics (the ones that aren't broken) but there really doesn't seem to be any decent loot to go adventuring for.


Loot is a KEY aspect of RPGs in general! RPGs are all about characters and loot, and right now SWG is seriously seriously hurting on loot.


Thoughts? help? DEVS? plz Tiggs respond . . .

If the only reason you play the game is for loot, you're playing the wrong game. Go to WoW. Leave the rest of us here to enjoy the game, no offense.


I do, however, agree that some variety would be cool and we could certainly use a loot correspondent. The crafters do need to be remembered however.

yeah, unfortunately, i'm not a BH. and my alt was a BH for a long time and i'm not regrinding it. oh well.


I don't want to loot uber weapons or what not but looting tapes or perhaps some skill ehancing baubles that can't be crafted would be nice.


and to the guy who said that I need to leave the game in order for him to enjoy it: youARE being offensive and not very constructive.

geo cave still drops decent loot, and akuan cahmpion missions drop nice loot as well. BH missions you already said were out, but I can tell you that even lower level missions for the investigation grind drop good loot. Also check the maruader cave on endor, i heard they drop good loot.

no its the lack of USEFUL loot. cu made everyone and everything pretty much the same. no more uber gear. no items in the game makes much of a differents. people are making credits everyday. why not spend a ton of cash on a price of loot. even through that loot will not make much of a differents. cash has lost its value.

I wish Lucas would have went over in greater detail the actual construction part of a lightsaber. Tha would be a great TV show idea for discovery channel. "Would a lightsaber work" could be the title...Anyway my point is---> I am all for a solution to the loot part when it comes to Jedi. Maybe a lightsaber craftsman could be it's own template offshooting from weaponsmith or something.


As far as all the other loot issues this poster raises....Yah what's up Dev's? This is a gamebreaker and his been for me latley...WAKE UP!

"I see you've constructed a new lightsaber [...]" -Darth Vader to Luke Skywalker.

Not only in the movies but in other star wars games, Jedi has always crafted their own lightsabers.

This already has what it needs, a branch in the Lightsaber profession.


However, looted ITEMS needed for higher level generation of lightsabers would be awesome, rather than just having it be "rare"/specific resource types.

Just don't forget about the crafters, please ... the abundance of quest items that are direct replacements for crafted products is troublesome. Loot in ADDITION to useful crafted items is one thing ... INSTEAD of useful crafted items is another.
