  1. Are you checking guarded chests or unguarded ones?

     

    The unguarded ones seem to have had their stuff taken out. I'd always get at least a green and a good amount of times blue before the patch. Since then only whites and credits. (though a good amount of credits)

    I call them "Explorer Boxes".

    I'm talking bout the ones in the out of the way places that are off the beaten path off in the wilds that noone has any reason to go other then "To see the Scenery".

     

    There's 3 notable ones on Alderaan specificaly that I can think of. The one at the ungarded tower (republic side), the one on the snowy cliff overlooking the scenery only landing pad (Near an Empite base), and the one behind the space port (Republic side). These chests never had any mobs to guard them at frist I was wondering if it was some kind of bug then I remembered back before release there was some kind of interview where they said they wanted to reward people who went off the beatn path, and figured that's why they were there for.

     

    Now THAT is a great question. I am looting guarded chests, for the most part. I didn't consider that. I know a spot on corellia with 1 guarded and 2 unguarded that I can test this on. I normally don't go back there cuz the bots have taken over.

  2. I took a specific mob, with 125kish health and tested out each of my viable dps companions. I tried to get their mods as close to each other as I could.

     

    Dps pets:

     

    Ashara 577 dps Exsan mode

    Ashara 522 dps Perf mode

    Revel 505 dps Sniper mode

    Khem 400 dps in Offense mode

    Khem 356 dps Def stance

    Xalek 372 dps Off Mode

    Xalek 356 dps Def stance

     

    Just rough numbers and I am sure they won't mean anything to anyone, but if anyone was curious to see the anecdotal evidence of other people, there ya go.

  3. Translation: I am wrong, but rather than admit that I'm going to throw up a few strawmen and then claim to leave the thread before returning with further efforts of derailment.

     

    Uhh what are you smoking? My statement about oranges has nothing to do with chest drops. It was not an admission of anything. I was responding to the other person who asked where I farm oranges. So pull your head out of your bum and stop thinking you are smarter than everyone else and that you are somehow winning :roll eyes:

     

    It was an attempt to show you that I track things like chest drops, creds/hour and such. But I can see you are only interesting in proving something, have at it. I know you are wrong, and since you got a special place in your hate for this, you will just keep making things up.

  4. Stastical mode engaged:

     

    Currently, I am attempting to figure out which companion does the most dps.

     

    Right now, Ashara in Exsanguination stance is edging out Revel (Sith Sorc pets)

     

    Ashara in Exsang mode is about 570 dps.

    Ashara in perf mode, is about 522 dps

    Revel in Sniper mode is about 513 dps

  5. *shrug* I have opened dozens of chests myself, this is what I do with my time when I am not doing dailies or Ops, I farm orange gear and happen to open 3 or 4 chests an hour.

     

    I get about 80% green drop rate. I am a statistical nut, I can give you a break down of how much money I make per hour, how often a chest spawns, how much each chest drops, how often is drops a green and the avg net worth of each chest.

     

    I could also tell you which mobs drop the most oranges per hour. But I won't because I like having a lot of oranges to sell on the GTN and would rather keep my spot to myself for as long as possible.

     

    Good day to you.

  6. Of course server pop is dropping, wanna know why? Read these boards.

     

    The generation of me-me-nao-nao aren't getting their pampering so they are quitting in droves. Problem is, they can never be pleased. This is what happens when you put games into the hands of non-gamers acting like gamers.

  7. I've opened dozens of chests since the chest change, haven't seen a green yet, is it bad info or just player experience leading them to say something like that?

     

    Before the change I would have been surprised to NOT see a green in the chest, after the change, I have yet to see one *AT ALL*.

     

    I think it matters less what they drop, and matters more that they drop so little *BECAUSE* a handful of UNPUNISHED exploitive farmers were abusing the system. A system that doesn't even have a functional economy to "break". You actually need trade skills that provide benefits to other players in exchange for in game money before an economy forms, as it is, we don't have that.

     

    The OP isn't whining with no merit, sorry to the people fanboying this thread up, but you're wrong. The overall point of their post is that their broad sweeping changes are impacting and even punishing people that never took place in any form of exploitation while seemingly ignoring and even encouraging exploits in other sectors of the game.

     

    For example: I find it amusing that chests have been fixed in order to "save" the economy, but kill trading hasn't been touched to fix a BROKEN valor system.

     

     

     

    Thats BS in my experience.

     

    Anecdotal evidence is anecdotal. You say one thing, I say another. I suggest people go open a chest or 4 and then we will see who is full of it. I just opened another chest and violah another green. I know you want to be noticed and prove how bad this game is, but really? Making things up? Pathetic.

  8. I have played:

     

    World of Warcraft (had lvl 70 Mage, when 70 was the lvl cap)

    Lord of the Rings Online (2x Lvl 75s at cap, main top geared, several other alts)

    Star Wars Galaxies (played almost a year)

    Star Trek Online (one character at Lvl Max)

    Runescape

    DC Universe Online

     

    And I can truely say that SWTOR has as much if not more endgame than any of those.

     

    Daily Quests on Ilum

    Daily Quests on Belsavis

    Operations

    Flashpoints

    Space Combat

    Datacrons

    Companions affection and storeline

    Crafting

    Ilum PvP

    other world PvP (Tatoonine)

    Warzones

    Social lvl

    Valour lvl

     

    Are you people kidding me? No endgame.:eek:

     

    I don't think you know what Endgame content means.

  9. Nope news flash - they're all glorified slicing boxes now I haven't gotten a single green,blue,purple,orange out of one. A few creds and a few worthless lvl 7 frilled leather white items.

     

    Please don't give out bad information cuz you are upset. Chests still drop greens. I proved this not 20 seconds ago on Hoth, where I am currently farming Orange gear.

  10. Or just maybe make the chests lvl restricted. Must be 40+ to use them.

     

    Have a mob that drops a key guarding the chests.

     

    These are just two simple ones off the top of my head but they had many options to fix this differently....if this is supposed to be a fix.

    That would be smart.

     

    Game devs don't do smart, they do easy.

  11. On some characters if they have every skill available. Perhaps. But not on all. If I have skills on cool down they don't flash. If I have skills that require a certain resource, they don't flash.

     

    So basically, you are wrong, but are unwilling to admit it.

     

    Roger, disregarding anything you post from now on, I suggest others do the same.

  12. There are a lot of ppl on this thread that need to mind their own business. If we do not like the new UI changes, it is our right to come here and say so. If you don't like our opinions, feel free to shut up and mind your own business. You like the changes, good on you, make your own thread about how awesome they are. We will see which one get more replies.
