BioWare’s Stephen Reid has detailed how looting will function in Star Wars: The Old Republic after information regarding “loot containers” was revealed in German gaming magazine Gamestar.
Reid wrote on the official Star Wars: The Old Republic forum, stating:
“Loot containers’ (name is still a work in progress!) do indeed exist and are designed to alleviate the frustration some feel around high-level loot drops.
“As it’s currently implemented, at the end of a key encounter within an Operation, upon looting a high-level opponent, everyone in the Operations group will get an individual container which has a chance to give you a random piece of loot that’s specific to your class. It could be part of an armour set, a weapon, and so on. If you don’t get loot, you’ll get commendations which can be used to purchase gear.
“Please note, this feature is currently in Game Testing and may well be modified before launch.”
Currently there is no official release date for the MMO, however a retail source recently pointed to a November release.
