You obviously haven't been noticing the new patch, u know the one with the mega high ham NPCs, real good weapons, and all the specials

Don't think they could outdamage ONE rifleman?

I dont think you understand how looting works.

It is the most damaging single attack that wins the loot, in this case, your Strafe Shot 2 will be doing about 3000 damage, whereas the rebel NPCs are doing 500-1000 damage. Although I do not agree with methods like this, you will get the lootrights.

Did u used to be on Tempest? Ur forum handle seems familiar.

If you are ALWAYS able to get loot rights over a creature, why is it that when you approach something that stormies have been working on and is almost dead, you cannot get permission to access the corpse? hmmmmmmmmmmm?

Well then there seems to be some confusion, as that was the way looting USED to work.

I have extensively tested the theory of yours on many scenarios and you do not get loot rights on single most powerful attack anymore.

If of course, you can provide an official thread explaining how the loot system works in the way you mentioned, be my guest and I will retract my comments.

I'm not saying I KNOW how the looting works in these scenarios, I am just sharing my experiences.

I didnt think this was possible.

It isn't.

I think what happened is the group of rifleman that were attacking the Krayt decided to Bail inside a structure and it auto-healed. This guy just happened to see a Jedi come along and make the assumption.

it is possible, The Jedi admitted that he was doing it, kept removing dots and states healing wounds. Go ahead and read the post in Lowca forums, Took the group 3 hours to kill the krayt thanks to this jedi. I would post the link, but I am just too lazy.

---

i believe him. Why???

Because Docs and Jedi healers can remove DOTS from ANY WEAPON ON DISPLAY IN A HOUSE OR BUILDING THAT THEY CAN ACCESS!!!

i tried to open a thread to warn my fellow rifleman, but it was deleted because "we don't want to tell the docs/jedi what they don't know already" : thranslated= "we don't want anyone to know that we have a serious F'UP in game"

i suggest everyone hide any DOT weapon they have on display. My MWS buddy who has been playing for over a year didn't even know about this till it came up on our server forum about a week ago! SOE doesn't want to warn anyone because then it would be revealed that they have yet again F'ed UP! so if you want to keep your 699health poison lance or whatever you have on display, i'd put it in a backpack and lock it up, or make your house private.

As one of the players involved in this I can tell with 100% certainty that it is possible. No matter how many states we threw at the Krayt, these Jedi would heal the state (poison mostly). It absolutely sucked. Just to counter your one assumption here, we had enough players that we didn't need to bail inside a structure. The Krayt was auto healing even when he wasn't anywhere near a structure at all. We had no less than 5 riflemen and several tanks, as well as a CM and a Master Doc.

Just to wrap it up, the main Jedi guilty of the griefing posted later admitting he did it.
