toocrazed Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Not sure if anyone know this yet but there is no roll function in Star Wars. A group including myself just downed Grandfather yesterday a world boss and he drop some nice loot. We had to randomly pick numbers and the closest person to the number that the raid leader choosed gets the loot. Seriously no roll option? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Armethious Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Wow, if that is left out, that would be a surprise. How in the world do you leave out such a basic function. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toocrazed Posted December 20, 2011 Author Share Posted December 20, 2011 How so? Our group typed /roll many times and nothing happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reverendsaintjay Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Wow, if that is left out, that would be a surprise. How in the world do you leave out such a basic function. I know, right. No /rand, no /roll, nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChicksDigHarleys Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Wait...they added master looter, but no /roll command? What? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toocrazed Posted December 20, 2011 Author Share Posted December 20, 2011 Wait...they added master looter, but no /roll command? What? We tried doing /random and /roll yesterday but no numbers pop out so we had to find a way to do the looting... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayenomics Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 It depends on what you have the loot threshold set to. The lower you set it, you get to roll on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranberries Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 It depends on what you have the loot threshold set to. The lower you set it, you get to roll on it. Green/Need rolls aren't the same as /roll when ML is in effect. ... Jesus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monsieurcaca Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 You can roll with the buttons need/greed when it's group loot. That's not the issue. We need a feature, where you type /roll in the chatbox, and it gives you a random number. Like every raiding person would normally do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toocrazed Posted December 20, 2011 Author Share Posted December 20, 2011 It depends on what you have the loot threshold set to. The lower you set it, you get to roll on it. Are you talking about how the dice pops out and you can choose to greed it, scavenge it, or need it? I am talking about when you do raids or world boss fights and you have a master looter. Then those who need the item can manually /roll for the item so there isn't anyone who will be a dick and need the item in auto rolls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FeriIuce Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Its completely silly that this is not in. This game is missing features left and right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toocrazed Posted December 20, 2011 Author Share Posted December 20, 2011 Duel for loot...there can be only one. The problem with that is that people who are trying to get geared will get owned by someone who is already geared and looking to complete their set or improve on another item piece. Lol. That would be epic if we can duel for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zzyn Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 How about you report it in the reporting mechanism? It's a simple thing to add. I'd bet we'll see it in a patch rather soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cranberries Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 There's litterally nothing that can be done. Doing #ran on a calculator for a result doesn't work as you can spam it until you get a high (99-100) number... And you can't deny a pug player gear when you have NO MEASURE (lol no combat logging) how well a player has performed. Truly is the biggest oversight ever. Bioware are shockingly bad at designing MMOs, it's outstanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pjskull Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 I am very, very happy with the game and I am just *baffled* on how such a basic piece of coding was left out. And not a complex piece of coding, either... It's just bizarre... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Llenyd Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Yeah, big oversight. The pick the number closest to the raid leader is open to a lot of abuse. The raid leader could just come up with a number closest to the player he wants to have the loot. On the flip side, he could be honest and the person in his guild rightfully won, but still be accused of gaming the loot. Just thought of this workaround: Say a heal will heal between x and y. Tell the raid members to pick a number in that range, then cast the heal and that number is used as the closest-to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know my heal will heal between 1800-2000 non crit, so a healer who knows about other healing values will always win. It's not that fair either.
