On an unrelated note, I wandered into a PvP zone on Tanooine, then seem to be permanently tagged for PvP later, after leaving. Not sure how long. Maybe half an hour?

Wish I knew how to "un-tag" myself.




Tracer Missile wasn't even close to a Merc's most powerful attack.
Suckwads spammed it, other suckwads lost to it.
Most apparently didn't even know they had an interrupt. Smart nerf, BW!

It is a travesty, but, at the same time as the devs said during beta they really don't listen to the testers because their in-house testers are better. Had they listened to the Beta testers they would have caught that kind of thing and you would have gotten your loot.

I guess you missed something. Incase you don't know these game companies do pay alot of attention to their forums. It's not your game. It is made by them and if they do something to the game its for a reason you probably dont understand their logic in it. and most likely they dont understand our logic either. but if you spent seven years of your life making just one game fixing bug after bug of coding trust me its easier said then done my friend. These guys do pay attention. especially when they have a good reputation for listening to their fans.



Ahh but you must not have been around in beta and active on those forums and saw what was said about the testers and how much they listen to and value the beta testers input. Whether it's hard to do or not is irrelevent when there is a new build every month. And yes this build is basicaly the same build in the last beta weekend, which was a step backwards.

If you choose the "easy kill" way, you'll have to be prepared to lose the loot...

Thats just the way it is.

Since this thread I turned on auto-loot and noticed it still has a somewhat limited distance range. Almost certain that NPC corpse was too far down.

Otherwise you're right, that would be a decent strategy to try and get that loot!


Well, time to log back in and see if the PvP tag has been removed, since I have no idea how to remove it (happened by wandering into a PvP zone on Tantooine.)

Sweet irony, I just got a third (or I guess, second) PURPLE item.


BTW, my last purple, Boots, lasted from lvl 16-26. Got them towards the end of Dromand Kaas, wore them through Balmorra, Nar Shaada, and into Tatooine. Didn't out-level them fast at all.

I'm not in game but try stuff like /pvp /flag and etc. 5 minutes cooldown and you're good to go.
Peace is a lie...

This sort of thing could be potentially game breaking if the guy that falls off the ledge is holding an item you need to loot to continue on the mission.
