Sabithspain Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 I've had a ticket in for a few days, and I know a few people that say they still get them. But were they removed for both augments and lockboxes in the grade 6 bracket? I could have sworn I used to get them yet now I get nothing over abundant. Is this working as intended?

Herboss Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 I get nothing but moderate and abundant at 400. But I got on slicing late so don't know if they were there before the nerf, either way it's pretty f'ing lame to get to 400 and it be basically pointless.

Sabithspain Posted January 4, 2012 Author Share Posted January 4, 2012 Well thanks for replying, makes me wonder if those that say they are getting higher yields on grade 6 are lying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pryt Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 For lockboxes I only got 2 missions, 'Plug the leak' moderate and 'Data Race' abundant, while I send Mako on the abundant one, the ship's droid crits like every third of the moderate one, bringing in a purple mission skill 340 most of the time (mostly for crew skills I don't use, which seems to be on purpose (got plenty of Bioanalysis & Archaeology, since these are the two I do not have on any twink, which leads to a question: Playing with us again, BW? trying to 'force' social aspects with trading but killing the economy at first? No offense meant, but take it as it is)). The 'wealthy' purple slicing missions are still obtainable, but simply no rich or bountiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exphryl Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Scavenging has the same issue. Abundant and Moderate only at 400. While Underworld Training still has them. (Although gifts stop at rank 5 for some reason) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spifnar Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 What is your companion's affection? I've heard that this is a factor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cololz Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Companion affection is supposed to reduce mission time your companion will spend to achieve the mission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthTHC Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 I hit 400 post-nerf. I don't think I've seen a Grade 6 lockbox mission better than "Abundant". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoldenThunk Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 I had 400 well before the nerf, and abundant was the highest one at the time. In fact there are only two Class 6 lockbox missions, Plug the Leak (moderate) and Azure Databanks (abundant). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarvardAce Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Scavenging has the same issue. Abundant and Moderate only at 400. While Underworld Training still has them. (Although gifts stop at rank 5 for some reason) Underworld Training lists rich rank 6 for metals/fabrics, but they actually only return "moderate" yields (and cost as much and take the same amount of time as moderate yields).

Androvis Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Greetings- In live, there has never been more than abundant of grade 6. This is why you need the 340-skill missions from your slicer friends, or the Galactic Trade. Regards,Androvis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthSiricus Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Pretty sure it's working as intended. You only unlock "rich" yields when you unlock the next tier. 400 skill isn't high enough to unlock bountiful and rich yield missions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimgrey Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 (edited) I've never seen anything over Abundant pre- or post-nerf, but then I only hit 400 a couple of days before the nerf. Pretty sure access to higher yield missions (for any mission skill) is related to having skill level well past that required for the mission category. (Which is why you only see Moderate missions for a while when you first gain access to a new category.) Edit: See above, DarthSiricus said it better than I did.

Sabithspain Posted January 4, 2012 Author Share Posted January 4, 2012 I was aiming more about the Augments over the lockboxes, but if multiple people are saying there are no Rich or bountiful AUGMENT ones and never have been. I'm just remembering seeing them wrong then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pandabutt Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Pretty sure it's working as intended. You only unlock "rich" yields when you unlock the next tier. 400 skill isn't high enough to unlock bountiful and rich yield missions. This is not true. I have had Rich and Bountiful yields missions before the next tier of missions unlocked consistently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewokinator Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 I was 400 slicing since early-game access and 49-50 never had Rich missions, regardless of how much affection my companions had. working as intended? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimgrey Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 I have had Rich and Bountiful yields missions before the next tier of missions unlocked consistently. This seems unlikely. I've never seen a Rich mission before the next tier unlocked, and that includes Slicing, Diplomacy, Underworld Trading, Treasure Hunting, Scavenging and Archaeology, all of which I've been leveling on different characters. If it happens, either it's extremely rare or I'm the unluckiest person in the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jovant Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 I had 400 well before the nerf, and abundant was the highest one at the time. In fact there are only two Class 6 lockbox missions, Plug the Leak (moderate) and Azure Databanks (abundant). azure databanks? o.O that must have been before pre-nerf? because i only get plug the leak & data race... and i got 400slicing a day like a 2-3days after nerf. also how do you know the yeild of the mission?

MareLooke Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Companion affection is supposed to reduce mission time your companion will spend to achieve the mission. It's also supposed to increases critical chance and success rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
