You have to understand the politics of SOE!.

SOE do not want, and have stated this as a fact, too many Jedi in each galaxy. Nor will they want too many BH's.

Therefore, they from time to time will reduce the effectiveness of each or both professions to try and create a balance within the system.

Yes, there are glitches.

Kashyyyk was provided as an adventure planet, safe for Jedi and others to grind without the fear of being hunted. It is no exploit.

There are becoming too many Jedi, in the eyes of SOE, therefore they can do one of two things. 1) Make the path harder or 2) reduce the capabilities of the Jedi.

The 2nd being favoured by SOe as this allows more players to trial Jedi.

Once numbers fall, BH will get nerfed to try and counteract what is happening.

There are a few problems.

1) It isn't 1 on 1, and more than 1 BH can pick up the bounty. This should be rectified.

2) The Jedi can hide in their portable houses. This should also be rectified.

I am sure that SOE are fully aware of the issues.

Nobody likes to spoil an other persons fun and enjoyment of the game. But until, SOE sort these issues out, you will have to rely on the integrity of the BH.

As a BH, I can only speak for reputable BH's.

You will always get a minority of people, no matter what profession, who abuse the system. This is same in RL too.

All we can say is, grind on Kashyyyk, or try not to get on the terminals.

The only cause for tension I can see really is when people expect to be able to play Jedi without being hunted.

Everyone knows the life of a Jedi (even despite changes outlined above) is meant to be harder than normal play. The only reason there is tension is because people start playing Jedi thinking "If anyone does hunt me, I can just moan about it and get it changed".

I think the most annoying thing about Kashyyk is the fact I can't climb on the freakin' hills. I'd love to see that on the promos, "heres our cool new expansion, oh yeah and by the way you can't climb up the hills!!!! mwhahahahahah"

I sure hope if they do Hoth you aren't restricted because of some unknown force makes it so you can't climb up hills.

OK the way I see it the jedi grinding is fine BH should be allowed to group hunt like said they are not meant to play fair. we should take away the exploits for the houses. If we want to group and show our sabers then we get on the terminals. thats fine with me. Jedi should solo and should take awhile to reach master. otherwise it would be easy and everyone would do it.

I say the people that are hiding in the houses are not worthy ofbecoming Jedi. jedi should remain hidden not dominate the galaxy but help the weak. keep the peace.

I also think there should be a completely different role for light and dark Jedi.

I hope BH get more powerful, as thats what makes Jedi fun the chase and the fear of losing the xp that took so long to get.

I have just started out but will never flame or run from a BH. if I lose then I may even tip the BH if they are kind in return. They are doing their job we as Jedi must do the same. If I lose it is my fault 1 for getting on the terminals in the first place and 2 for not being more focused

Just my 2 cence

I think the tensions between jedi and BH are far to high, it's really destryoing the game experience. I'm so sick of getting hate tells!

I did the hologrind and unlocked a bit after pub10 with my free unlocks. I grinded BH back when there was 10 min shuttle waits, no JTL and tons and tons of bugged NPC BH missions. I'm still a BH but I'm also a fulltemplated knight. I hate when I get hate tells from respec BH's.

I don't like the current BH system and I think it needs to change. I think the upcomming changes with removal of names on the terms is a good thing since it will prevent griefing. I would also like the old saber TEF to come back since that would prevent jedis from flashing saber at starports, which seem to upset alot of ppl.

How do you guys feel about the current system? - I hate it. I wish it were BH versus Smuggler and Jedi didn't exist at all.

DO you feel like its fair for Jedi to be shafted so much, by loosin xp when killed? - I don't particular care if you think your being shafted. It isn't a bug. If I designed the system, I wouldn't use XP loss as motivator to be more careful, XP is at a premium.

How do you feel about Jedi running into there houses? - Typical - But I would do it to, if I was facing XP loss.

WHat do you think about Jedi grinding on Kashyyyk? - I don't care that the devs "ruined" our game experience, so much as they never gave us a good reason. At least invent some stuff like "Due to excessive flora clutter, seekers are unable to track their targets at this location.

Do you think its fair for a Bh to have his or her game play experiance ruined because us Jedi are so afraid of loosing xp? - Your experience isn't being Ruined. It is playing as it was intened. You no-longer have perma-death ruining your experience, but that isn't enough. I'm sure you knew before you unlocked what was going to happen. I could care less if you have been on since day one, so have I, and when I started, I was happy to play a game with NO JEDI. When I spend 9.5 minutes circling the Nurbergring in Grand Turismo, only to screw it up at the last corner and not complete my test, do i scream that Sony is ruining my driving game experience. I'ld like to,but nobody would listen.

How do you feel about groups hunting one Jedi? Stay off the terms.

Do you think Jedi's and BH's could some how setup a system between themselves to make this game a little more fun so both arnt getting screwed? Yup. I would love to see a BH inter-hunting game. See first question.

Thank you for your time - NP
