    THIS IS NOT A WHINE THREAD.

    Im just curios to if anyone else are hunting these and logging it ?
    Im hunting them atm and im getting several loot whit ONLY 00 00 ped ammo nothing else.
    This i havent even seen from low level halix / feran and now im hunting alphas etc..

    Considering this is a filler how is this even possible? Is this correct? Somehow it feels like something more should be implemented here but im not getting that?

    Anyways do any of U have this happen on other mobs?
    And A team is this as it should be?

    I've been seeing a lot of those kinds of loots on other mobs... One time had a Zadul drop 2 oil residue and 1 BLP Pack.

    I haven't been hunting since the latest patch but earlier this week, I found that most loots include ammo worth less than one pec. Often there was also a more normal size stack of ammo in the same loot. Not sure what is going on but its happening for all mobs I have hunted lately.

    Thoose loot I would consider normal this is ONLY 00.00 loot. Nothing else just that.
    MA has stated that this should be a "filler" loot to cover some loss. But since I get NOTHING else it just feels weird.
    I mean when hunting halix I get alot of 2 pec then 0000 but I havent seen pure 00 00 before and spec not on a mob that costs soooo much more to kill.

    An example of 2 loots.

    Normal
    1 pec oil
    00,00 ammo

    New to me and only on hadraa for me so far
    00.00 ammo


    I might be waay drunk here to an imagine things hecnce I ask you guys :)

    im thinking it might be a bug... somehow giving the old number of ammo when it was .01 pec per ammo... thats all the dudes in our vent can think of

    Ok it was wrong.
    For some reason somehow I couldnt c al what I did loot.

    Did a relogg cause im messing with an inventory bugg atm.
    When logging back on I had 18 ped spinal plates on me. Im kinda sure thoose were not there before and I did NOT recive thoose in my loot.

    However now they were there. Gotta do another test to make sure but this might have been the issue.

    I remember reading somewhere, can't find or remember where it was at through, but read that sometimes the loot system was rounding down fractions that were under a pec and not given out. The MA balance team is fixing this by putting that below pec amout in the loot as less then 100 ammo amounts, they are also rounding up instead of down at the 100ths of a pec level to give an extra cell instead of take a part of a cell from the loot. This was a fix to the loot system so it does not figure into MA looking like they are micro scamming small amounts form the loots. We as players could not see this at all but MA knew about it and put in this fix to compensate for that flaw. It is a confusing to see fix but I for one appreciate they admitted to this flaw and did at least something to fixing it.

    Now to find that article again, it was a few months ago when I read they were working on fixing this.

    KJ's post linked to a post on PCF stating something similar. It was short, of course, but still...

    Yes and that link was the main issue for my problem.

    The fact was that I got 00 00 ONLY LOOT THTA SHOULD NOT BE POSSIBLE.
    I am well aware that we loot 00 00 from mobs how and why we do thta.

    However this post was bout getting ONLY 00 00 which KILLS the layer idea MA posted up. But this seems something was messed for me when looting things as ONE LOOT DID NOT APPEAR. When logging back on al of a sudden I had 18 ped of spinal plates THAT HAD NOT BEEN THERE before :).

    Im not trying to get on someones nerves here I just feel the point of this thread gets killed :).
    However still a heads up to this espes for globals as atleast 1 new discovery has not been deliverd. So keep abit of an eye of your loot for abit and U should be good :)

    And for the first time in months im wasted out of my mind so take no offence untill tomorow please :p
