Drusillus Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 (edited) Anyone been using Master Loot lately? We're considering using it along with loot council for our Ops runs. Reason being, with the standard loot settings, some folks have gotten 0 items out of EV and Palace while others have gotten many items, to the point of outfitting their companions. I'm gonna run ML in a flashpoint first just to make sure its not buggy but I thought I'd ask here as well thanks!

jAtlantis Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 (edited) You can't use it in Normal Operations to re-assign loot to someone other than the assigned person - that's by design and is working as intended. Other than that, it works great and is fairly smooth - the lack of a /roll system can be annoying sometimes buy /paper /rock /scissors can work well. Best of luck!

So you're telling me I cannot set the loot to ML in a Normal Operation? That is very disappointing. I do appreciate the response though Happy Friday!

Iwipe Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Masterlooter is currently bugged for us in hardmodes and do not reward any schematics/crafting mats. We found a workaround to this. Have everyone turn off auto loot. Set loot options to round-robin (the roll need/greed one). Have one designated person to shift + right click on the corpse to open up the loot window. That person can now select one item at a time for the rest of the raid to roll need/greed. This works great even if you have 2 of the same items as you can decide who press need on which item to make sure no one get 2 in the process.

I do appreciate the response though Happy Friday! You can set it to master loot, but you'll only be able to award crew skills schematics, the loot usually assigned to a certain person will continue to stay assigned. I wouldn't stress about it, you'll be in hard mode in no time! =] Edit: Haven't encounted any bugs like those above, sometimes on Normal we had to change the operations leader because it was set to master looter.

Trineda Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Hello there, We saw this thread and thought you might like to know that this issue is mentioned in the new 1.1.2 patch notes. Star Wars™: The Old Republic™ - 1.1.2 Patch Notes Flashpoints and Operations General Players are now able to obtain destined loot from chests when Master Looter is enabled and they are not the Master Looter.

Grodesh Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 The problem that i am experiencing wouldnt have been mentioned in those patch notes, the problem i have is that sometimes random purple gear would be made for an assasin which would have endurance over willpower would drop for me as a healer sorceror. sometimes it would be so close yet so far as to drop assasin tank gear for an assasin dps.

Sheridyn Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Master loot works fine apart from in normal difficulty operations. Sometimes (especially with chests) you'll assign loot to someone but they won't receive it, and it will stay in the chest. What you have to do to work around this is pass ML to that person, and then they should be able to take the item (or successfully assign it to themself again and loot it).

Vakyoom Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 It's working as intended but "as intended" ends up being "real stupid". The guy with rakata gear automatically get columni gear and can't pass it off to the guys who are still in blues or other purples... nice design. either make it recognize guilds and let us master loot the 16 mans or let the guys who auto-recieve gear pass it to the less fortunate. kind of sucks when i'm not always main slot raider, marauders are popular lol.

Stabbitha Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Considering it's an optional loot format, it's hard to see the reasoning behind making it non functional for normal ops. Last run, I picked up a duplicate columi hat and chest token in EV, and we had one of our guildies in blues who missed out. Then I picked up the belt in Jiragga's, also a dupe, and she missed out again. While I do like building a dps set for when I'm not tanking, the long and short of it is that we're running through people hoping to get them geared up, not looking for more companion lewt... Hell, put in a vote at the start of the op, if 100% vote for master looter, set it to that, otherwise default to assigned + round robin. There is nothing stopping a raid leader making a normal op ML either so it's not like this measure stops a person from griefing other players in a PUG op.

Urglab Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 The loot mechanics really pissed me off last night. Why oh why would I get a columni belt assigned to me when I already have a rakata belt. If this system stays can we at least get an option to pass designated loot on to someone else?

Silverion_one Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Loot distribution in nightmare mod really need to be fixed, if you do master looter you will not see any recipe or alien cubes, crafting materials ... so what is happening that guilds are inventing mechanisms that are all ruining game experience it is not fun to wait on vote for EVERY item that is so long and we cannot take break even if you don't need anything. Btw, Dev post don't explain what is fixed in master loot ... problem with invisible cubes and recipes on nightmare/hard mode or assignment in normal mode?

I'm pretty sure they're talking assignment in normal mode, they don't seem to mention NM at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spoke to a guy of Customer support last week ingame and he told it it was NOT intended and they are looking to fix it. So i rly hope he hasn t been *********** with my mind, cause not fixing it for normal operation would be a HUGE disappoointment! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manxpt Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 A easy solutions would be to allow a trade timer between the op members and maintain the auto assign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xehoz Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 (edited) Well, in the last couple of days, two of the last three bosses in hard/nightmare mode did *not* award any rakatas. One of them awared 2 schematics and the other 1 schematic and two columi level items. 8-man. No crafting materials. We use Master Looter, so, after reading all of this, I wonder... Sometimes it works so, meh. Edited February 3, 2012 by Xehoz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
