By God, I hope so. I was in Theed when a major battle erupted on our server. I would LOVE to see NPC troopers come in and cut down every single Jedi who was involved. There needs to be something done in NPC cities to prevent that kind of nonsense.

Hehe this happened on our server just 2 days ago..

We were fighting like mad around the Rori Rebel Outpost and Dark Jedi PCs outnumbered us by 30 to 10 or so.. then a CSR logged in and spawned lvl 88 rebel admirals with a dropship landing at the outpost. I didnt see exactly what happened then but all i heared was big laughin on rebel side cause all DJKs got wiped within a few minutes... later the CSR let a Lambda Shuttle land at the outpost and nova troopers and DJK NPCs and even a DJM NPC poped out and smashed some of us down but we still stood at the end of these spawns hehehe.. It was absoult awesome to see that CSRs can do this and i cant say how much more i would like to see this. And i agree... if jedi are fighting in major cities i would like to see some NPCs poping up without CSRs help.... i think WOW has a similar feature for certain outposts.

So has anyone asked the question: why aren't people holding on to their elite professions? My answer would be that there isn't any content left in the game. Kashyyyk is content, but like most other theme parks, etc., it takes about a day to do and you're done with it.

Holding on to your profession for the greater good of the GCW is pointless. I have yet to see any content changes based on how the GCW is going. Who's winning the war on your server? How many times can you blow up someone else's HQ and not get completely bored with it? As it stands right now, the only way SOE is able to keep much of it's population and the main reason you see so many Jedi entering at once, is because for many, Jedi is the last thing a lot of people have left to do in this game. Becoming Jedi and completing aJedi template takes themost amount of time of any of the professions in the game. So people just stay with the game longer because of it.

If Jedi wa as easily to obtain as any other profession or if it did not exist, this game would be down to only a handful of servers left to play. Jedi has become the main selling point to stick with the game. The GCW was dropped from creativity about a year and a half ago. Did someone say battlefields? We were promised an ever evolving story based on the outcome of the GCW, show me where this is happening?Show me why someone would stick with an EliteProfession like TKA? The CU was to bring balance and a specific roll for each profession. A roll for what? Killing Bols?

Of course at the end of the day, what I've wrote won't matter, what will matter is if I and everyone else who has a problem with this game closes their accounts. I won't do that until I'm done with my Jedi. Take him away from me and I have no reason left to play this game. I wasn't seeing any fruits of my labor when I was a Master Fencer. I logged in and made some money to create the perfect SWG Sims house, but come on I didn't buy a Molly-Home makeover kit. I bought a Star Wars game. Just didn't know it was going to be a game with more action on the forums than in the game itself.

Why is everyone getting so worked up by Patch 20? They posted something, realized it was either too early, or the wrong patch notes or whatever......But now everyone is all worked up. They haven't put it back out yet, or even commented on posted it in the first place.

Lets not get worked up about something that might not ever come. Until its in Test Center (Even then might not make it live) or even in Live, lets not worry our pretty little heads about it.

Its back up .. go to the test center forum .. it was reposted a day or so later.

Just been reading over the next patch notes (In testing forum for those who are bound to ask)

Some of the main points i picked out are

1) Groups will no longer generate Vis

2) Player names are not being displayed on the terms - just faction

3) Bounties are being cut to 56k max

So am I right in assuming that

1) If a new Padawan only equips their robe and saber while in a group and are careful not to be seen by NPCs while in town - They may never ever make the terminals

2) If you hunt onKashyyk - you'll never be found!! As the BH cant look for your mission any more and cant use seekers on Kashyyk - Do they ever get your name or will they only get a WP from their droids?

3) They said something about mission payouts getting cut, but a bonus is possible if they take down a high temp jedi. Lots of tracking for very little Reward

Is this the End of the BH's?

1) Vis can still be acquired by hunting (or hunting near) humaniods (aka wookies/Mokks), flybys (folks flying by your group), LD group members, people comming to join the group, general stupitiy and carelessness, etc.

2) See above .. IMHO Kash becomes the > Last < place someone will want to grind now. Once everyone clears their current vis (3 weeks or death), then what you should see (in order of numbers) on the termsare: Fully Templated Jedi that dont care about vis, Kash Wookie Hunters, and Careless Paddies for reason stated above.

3) Others explained #3, so BH are not getting less in the long run

1) True. But visibility accidents happen, and most full templates do PvP or fight NPCs sooner or later.

2) A BH still can target the Jedi via tabbing. They can find you on Kashyyyk, just not anymore by "/target name"

3) Payout will be the same as now (verified by BH correspondent), but on the terms only a random number around 50k is shown to prevent BHs from deducing Padawan level from payout and using this information to bottom feed.

BH's dont get the name of the Jedi at ANY point (not even from their probe droids) and if there's 5 or 6 Jedistanding around your mark (hello Dant Mining OP), you have to target cycle through each one to find your mark...

The rest of your post is rendered moot by this nugget. First, you do not have to cycle through any amount of targets if you are combatant, on leave or neutral. You merely tab them, like any enemy AI and there is your mission mark. Second, at MBH, if your mark is standing still, your droid will set the waypoint smack dab on top of the mark in question. It is really very easy to target your mark in a crowd.

Main reason jedi are the main pvpers because most other epople are grinding FS/jedi i mean why do you think no one cares about pvp anymore they dont wanna do it till there jedi and also may i ask why you want to see all the jedi cut down?
