I love it!
I have been CH about a month now and I am halfway through the tree. It is exactly what I wanted it to be.
However, this is probably because I wanted something to augment my Master Swordsman skills. I didn’t care how much damage or how well my pet could tank. All I wanted are specials like intimidate and knockdown. I view my pets like a police dog. They don’t do the job for me, but make it a lot easier. They also are able to do thing I can not.
If CH was my only "combat" skill, I probably would not like it much. The same goes if I was a CH pre-nerf. Most people I see who are unhappy fall into one of these categories (not all but most).

Corbantis has had an influx of new players with the free trial. I am running into a lot of people who are doing or talking about doing CH. I only hope some of them find it as fun as it can be. I've actually filled a good portion of my data pad with lesser dewback and have been providing my guild with rides and giving babies away to newer players so they can raise them to mount. You have to love that lesser dewback, it is more of a puppy than the few cannine creatures in the game.
I'm afraidCH are going to be disappointed with the rebalance. I do not see them lowering a lot of items, just fixing and balancing the other professions. If they drop buffs and armor two things are going to happen, first Jedi will be even more powerful and second high end content will become unreachable for anyone except a jedi. The jedi are already potent enough against almost every other profession that any boost to that profession with the removal of the grind will turn the game even further into jediwars. So don't depend on everyone being brought down to the CH level, the devs have blown this one and are totally incapable of either seeing or admitting their error.
This is a really fun profession but not one that I see them ever returning to any level of prominence. The non-CH just hate dieing to a mob when they are doing PvP and don't see that same mob as the output of a weapon like a laser blast is.

What are the stats on the rifles you use? If they are higher than normal, that could explain it. If they are comparable to standard high-end rifles, just take those accusations as a compliment

that is accused regularly of using double sliced rifles in pvp?
i take it as a testiment to my skill now but i was wondering if any of my fellow rifleman experience the same on their servers?

Hi guys. I am really trying hard not to sound like a crybaby (since most of my posts of late have been complaints). However, I logged this evening with the mindset that I'd be back for good. I had no luck at all. Is it just my bad luck that out of 10 sampling attempts, I got 2 samples of DNA from low lvl mobs? Is it just my bad luck that I got aggro'd more than half those attempts? I could let go of the fact that a just spawned KIMO nearby db'd me while I was running away from a perlek. But this failure I had tonight was unheard of. My toon has spent HOURS sampling DNA and naver had this bad luck. I was on for a total of 20 minutes today and this was enough to just disconnect with no care what the elements would do to my toon while it's LD. It's comforting to know my vendors have been bought out and are empty now. But if I'm going to encounter this nasty luck everytime I go sampling for DNA, this boy will have to rethink things. And I'm not about to drop BE either.

luck comes and goes, if you've never had this kind of back luck before it sounds like you're getting your fair share all at once 
Last night I sampled the entire Merek Harvester POI and only got aggroed once.
Back in theed, sampling yard trash I got aggroed 1 in 5 attempts, but thats normal. The more you take the more pissed off it gets

I've had my fair share of aggro's. But not 50%. I'll log back in about a week from now. Maybe I'll have fun then. 
Yeah, I'm sounding like a crybaby again.

Opps hit the wrong button.
I am finding JtL to be very boring. I have a copy pre ordered for my other character, but think I will turn it in and get my money back.
The Missions required to get advancement are not working right. The ones I have done, the one I am stuck on now, and the ones I read about that I wouold have to get to if I continue to play.
I do not know if the problem is bad design, bugs, or simpley my inability to find the trick to solve the mssion.
Am I the only one that is finding JtL to be rather boring for these reasons?

I was actually enjoying it quite a bit until hitting the privateer gate at 3332 (Rancor Clan) where even large groups get destroyed trying to complete it.

Actually my friends and I have found this new expansion quite enjoyable. The worst thing we've found in JTL so far has been that other people's mission spawns still appear "red" to you. This is annoying as you start attacking them only to hear the buzzing sound telling you that you may not damage them.
Overall we have found the missions doable as a single player, but extremely easier in a group. I ground up to 2211 alone then started helping my two friends, we quickly achieved 3322. Today, in fact, I've nearly hit 3433. That char is Rebel track. My privateer is 1211, he's on hold until I help my friends finish the rebel track
There are other imperfections, of course, but I will enjoy the new toys available

Just after some insights.
I know PvP is the endgame for Jedi but as it stands atm I'm just not interested in PvP. All I'm after is the ability to roleplay a Jedi and have a laugh with my friends... not to run around Coronet/Theed pwning everyone and screaming "j00 are teh n00b" and "i pwn0riz3d j00r 455" looking at my template I can keep my get out of PvP card until I'm quite high up.
But if I truely want the template to help my m8's the most then I'll have to drop it at that point I feel like it's gonna be open season on me and all the BH I annoy using my get out of PvP card will have a field day getting their revenge for not being able to get me until then.
Am I opening a bag of worms by doing this or do you think it won't be too bad.
Also I have no desire to enter the FRS and probably won't be doing the Knight Trials.
