NoTomorrow Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 (edited) Endless Horror I'll put my rage and hatred apart and i'll get to the point: My spec-ops groups killed the droid boss in Endless Horror operation. I will not say how much we tried and how much effort we put into it. I died, it happens. Now pls explain: If I respawned during the fight. Why was I left out of the boss loot, and effectively did not even get credit for killing the boss? What is this? A catastrophic bug or some sort of insane trolling from developers? Why i saw no warning message at all? That respawning would lead to this??? Edited January 21, 2012 by NoTomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katalystika Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Why would you rez to a med center during a raid fight anyway? That doesn't make sense to begin with. Wait until you either down it and get regular rezzed or everyone wipes. Rezzing early can bug some of the encounters anyways... Now, the B-rez bug, yes that totally blows and I hate it. An easy way to get around it is to wait a couple seconds after it pops up to click it. Haven't had that happen since I started this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luminen Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 I had this problem fighting the World Boss on Tattoine, i was one of the first people, and kept the recruiting for more people going on. It was annoying, and hopefully they'll fix it, but it is genereally uncommon a group to succeed with somebody dieing, thought it is an issue they'll tend to. Though it may be trouble, otherwise a person who devoted nothing to killing a world boss could still reap the rewards by not being there at all. I wouldn't blame LucasArts or BioWare for this.

Nepumuk Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 There are two ancient MMORPG rules which do not want to go away it seems and might apply to your disappointing experience: Never release/revive if you die during a boss encounter unless it is a wipe. Because if you are outside the instance when the boss dies you may be locked out from receiving any loot. And many games might even prevent you from re-entering the instance during the encounter.Never loot a corpse with valuable shinies, until everyone who died during the encounter is alive and near the corpse, or they may not get the loot window. Of course this does not solve your actual problem at all, nor might it help anything to workaround the actual bugs of the loot system in this game. But noticing many posts about bugged loot, I felt the need to remind people anyways. Heck, rule one might even still be true for any MMO in existence which has instances, combat and loot. I know at least of one who is running since over 7 years and just tried to fix that problem a few weeks back. In my opinion, it should be a highest priority to make sure players cannot be screwed over their shinies in loot centric game like this. With loot centric I mean that the power of a character is mostly defined by gear which will be looted from mobs or received via quest rewards (including commendations), or by crafting, etc..

It doesn't matter what i do as long as I get no explicit warning about the consequences of respawn. How the hell should i know? Now all my guild is a stage further ahead than me. What i am going to do? ask them to kill again the same boss? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite frankly, your anger should be directed at yourself for this whine and not have subjected the forums to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excuse me, you are telling that a stupid developer oversight should be rather considered a player's fault? AFAIK, EA/Bioware did not make SWTOR only with intentions to pull off players from WOW, but also to attact ppl that: 1. do not necessarily have MMO experience 2. like Star Wars. And if rez is that much prone to fail, WHY OFFER IT IN THE FIRST PLACE? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
