Not truly pikeman-related, but the ways things currently stand any change to the loot system could potentially have a major effect on us.
I killed approximately a hundred Nightsisters this evening, and a little way into it noticed I wasn't getting the old "you find nothing else of value" loot message at all. Usually I get that message roughly 20% of the time, but tonight every single Nightsister at least carried a few credits.
I killed every level of NS from initiates to an elder, not one empty corpse was left behind. I don't have jedi luck (or any other FS skills), and the same sort of items I always get were dropping at the same frequency as usual. I'm not complaining, but do wonder if this may be the beginning of a loot revamp.
Just curious if anyone else has noticed this happening, or if I just had a really lucky streak.

Yeah i had this too. I assumed it was because i took the luck tree but obviously not.

Yeah, I had considered that too. Actually a pretty smart move if that's the case.

I am fairly sure that happens when anyone in your group has the Luck tree.

Perhaps so, but I was not grouped with anyone.

I think it was a change to improve performance on places such as Genosian, where massive overspawns was wreaking hell on that particular server cluster.
However i think it also screwed up the loot table. Ive been having terrible luck with ns recently.
Isnt that the way this game works? We get a fix... and in turn need 3 more just to get things right again?

I'm constantly amazed at how things get broken by publishes, from simple things like drop shadows on font (not the first time this has happened) to larger issues like the BH system, the harvesters' random-resource issue, etc etc. It's always scary.

I noticed this as well.....I don't think they screwed up the loot tables in the process, though, as someone said they believe. I looted a nice 188-754 4.3 LVA last night amidst a mob of 6 spellweavers and a protector (nasty ol' fight that was!), and a load of other stuff too. But never looted nothing....
