NikNinja Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 devs are too busy hiding from the forum complains, ignoring the community, and pretending this epic fail of EGA and massive server queues arent their problem. they wil get back at you once everything has been successfully swept under the rug 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeila Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 If you want to mug someone then don't push them off a ledge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkdayze Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 BW appropriately added knockback into many of the combat moves. This is fitting with the SW universe we've seen. BW even highlighted this in an old promo vid, showing a Jedi knocking thugs off a sail barge. However, did no one at BW ever forsee that such a TRAVESTY could occur??? There are so many easy ways to fix this. - Have any such loot automatically go into one's inventory. - Have the loot 'pulled' from any falling bodies, remaining on the ledge where it can be looted. - Hell, do like Fallen Earth, and send us an email with the item attached, as a "lost and found." It would have been my 2nd unique Purple. yeargh ps. I don't suppose a dev has a few minutes to look through the records and send me whatever Purple item that was? EDIT: I was so overwhelmed with panic, I immediately lept off the ledge when this happened, just to make sure maybe I could live on the ledge, loot the purple, then jump off and die. Nope. There is an auto loot option in the options of the game...wonder if that would work... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raximillian Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Just for this, they definitely have to keep the mechanic as it is This was quite funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feskitt Posted December 17, 2011 Author Share Posted December 17, 2011 There is an auto loot option in the options of the game...wonder if that would work... It doesn't. The auto-loot still requires you to click on a corpse. That enemy was too far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feskitt Posted December 17, 2011 Author Share Posted December 17, 2011 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duckforceone Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 find nearby enemy... kite them to the very edge of the ledge... kill them, use aoe loot and you might get the purple... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mysry Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

OddballEasyEight Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 If you choose the "easy kill" way, you'll have to be prepared to lose the loot... Thats just the way it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feskitt Posted December 17, 2011 Author Share Posted December 17, 2011 find nearby enemy... kite them to the very edge of the ledge... kill them, use aoe loot and you might get the purple... 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.)

Feskitt Posted December 17, 2011 Author Share Posted December 17, 2011 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LordSatoh Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 I'm not in game but try stuff like /pvp /flag and etc. 5 minutes cooldown and you're good to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TiiRahnedancer Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feskitt Posted December 17, 2011 Author Share Posted December 17, 2011 Right click on your portrait I tried that, to no avail. More details in this post. Interestingly, I was in a large temple (no spoilers) on Tatooine, a Republic Commando was there, and was not tagged (I don't think). A few minutes later, he saw me fighting a mob, unloading my big attacks, he must have quickly toggled on his PvP, then attacked me. I still damn-near killed him. (I didn't think you could do that -- quickly toggle on and surprise attack someone already fighting someone else?) Rezz'd myself, caught up to him in the next room, and laid about 10 Tracer Missiles into him, LMAO! Last I saw, after he rezz'd, he was standing up on a pile of rocks, not engaging, just waiting for me to leave; I'll bet his PvP toggle was then stuck to 'On' also, HA HA!

silntkilla Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 Go into your preferences and change your looting to loot all of the adds around you and even if it doesn't have a look beam over it you can still loot it and you'll loot everything nearby.

If anything, easy kills knocked to places that can't be reached should always drop purples...just so you have to think and ponder what you missed.
