Well, after getting Tactics 1, I'm all happy...I'm able to provide a useful benefit to my group from my Squad Leader abilities.


I form a group on Dathomir, and we go hunt Rancors....The battle ensues and I *rally* my troops for the first time!


But before I can feel all proud, the group yells "PLZ DON'T RALLY...We can't harvest!!"


What in the......?


So Rally neutralizes Scout harvest? Give me a freaking break!!!


Maybe I should drop this prof for Rifleman

No they want to ninja loot as quickly as possible to get the best loot.


When they put loot notification back in things will improve. Personally i grow ever more supportive of the squad leader having the sole authority as designated looter so that they can then equitably divide loot for a squad. Of course this doesnt seem to be a problem when you use the same group of people over and over

is the major reason why i hunt with PA mates - Rally is a very useful skillbut people get mad if you use it, stupid if you ask me. You can wait for the timer to end. The loot will still be there but the enemies won't! ^_^

The other bad thing about Rally is that no one can drag a corpse with the rally flag on.

Heh... you can't sit either.


It's the same as any other status effect like stun or blind.

To the person that said it has nothing to do with loot. As long as your rallied you can't harvest nor can you loot. When your hunting with mixed groups i know some of the non guild members have been ninja looting i have an approximate average on loot drops now from rancors and when i or none of my team mates pull any loot then i know someone else in the group has done it. I find that the people that want to just harvest typically dont have a problem with waiting the few extra seconds needed for rally to drop. Its the looters that get upset about rally because they lose their ability to quickly loot beating everyone else to it. So yes the rally whiners are possibly more concerned about the fact they can't loot while everyone else is still fighting.


It is silly as someone said that you can't do certain task during rally but it is meant as a last ditch effort to defend the group. Everyone available to fight should fight in order for the group to survive.

Your point is still valid though... besides, Rally last what, 30-60 seconds?



Tell those little thieving bas-tards toget bent...


besides, never trust some who says plz.
