thebobmaster Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 I'm not sure if this is something just on Taris, but that's where I first noticed it. Running 3 heroics (Knight Fall, Rakghoul Release, and Fallen Stars), none of the gold mobs dropped any loot. All the silver mobs dropped loot, as they did before 4.1, but nothing from any of the gold mobs I killed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seandsullivan Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 All over. Not sure if it is happening in ops but in storylines eLites aren't dropping loot. Tried on pretty much every planet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the silver mobs dropped loot, as they did before 4.1, but nothing from any of the gold mobs I killed. It's curiously specific: I've been seeing a very hard divide: sapient Elite mobs drop loot -- humans, the various alien races, nekghouls, etc. -- while the 'creature' Elite mobs -- animals, rakghouls, droids, Colicoids, etc. -- almost always don't, and when they do (less than a 10% chance), it's always a Green or higher quality drop; there are no credits or trash drops from them.

Jerba Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 (edited) Can confirm this, a certain type of elite NPCs is no longer dropping credits as of 4.1. I know that in 4.0, BioWare nerfed the credit drops (and maybe this was a late addition to those fixes) but given that elites take a long time to kill, I consider this a bug and it should reward proper loot. Now, it only makes sense to kill them while leveling to get XP; other than that it's better to skip them.

DayneDrak Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Suspect this is on purpose, to coincide with the loot being kicked up to natural level, in an effort to combat bots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterSpatula Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Suspect this is on purpose, to coincide with the loot being kicked up to natural level, in an effort to combat bots. If it were on purpose, it would be happening with Strongs, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
