Thread: A simple solution to Jedi on Kashyyyk
SWG Vault: Kashyyyk is currently a safe haven for Jedi, where they can intiate combat in the wide open without any relative danger from Bounty Hunters. Are any alternatives in planning that keep the quest environment intact, but at the same time keep the danger of being a Jedi alive?
Julio Torres: The planet Kashyyyk was designed for most part as an adventure planet with a directed experience for everyone to enjoy. The current plan is to keep this planet a quested story-driven planet for all of our players. There are no current plans to change the status of the Jedi there. Please keep in mind that no one can "live" in Kashyyyk -- we are not allowing houses to be built there. Everyone eventually will have to leave the planet and expose themselves to the other planets of the universe, where there is plenty of tension between Jedi and Bounty Hunters.
So Kashyyyk is intended to be just an adventure planet, where people aren't supposed to 'live' and they are meant to go out into the galaxy. So if this actually is the case, why not just remove all xp on Kashyyyk? Almost all the npc kills on Kashyyyk right now are either for quests or loot, which supports the claim that it is a quest based planet. XP is not necessary for the Kashyyyk npc's, and the only thing it does is encourage players to grind there, where as on other planets (even for regular professions) getting killed by an npc has repercussions.
Remove xp from Kashyyyk and this issue is easily resolved, while reinforcing the claim that Kashyyyk is an adventure planet and not an intended safehouse for Jedi.
its not a safe haven for Jedi.
You just need to learn how to hunt instead of following a WP to your target.

Great idea there, its a quest planet, only reason i go there is to do quests and seek adventure, experience is a nice little bonus but not the reason why i go there. If they removed experience points from the wookie planet then it would but an end the the droid issues and the LOS bug in the Rryatt trails. If you are a jedi and want to do quests just like everyone else you can go there and do them just like everyone else.
But i would make it to even the playing field is that if you get a mission on a jedi and he is on the wookie planet you dont get a tef on the jedi until he goes to a normal planet. Just trying to be fair that is all. Jedi goes there to quest, let em quest, but you dont get any experience and dont have to worry about any bounty hunters either.
yeah nar it sucks when people use the LOS exploit.
I thinkanyone Jedi/BH whoever uses it they should get punished.

Not once do I say it is impossible to hunt on Kashyyyk. In fact, I agree that just showing up at a waypoint is not only too easy, its also a pretty dumb move for any BH out there. The post is a constructive solution to a legitimate issue, and I thank you for trolling here to show us how threatened you Jedi are by positive ideas that could be detrimental to game systems that make your grind easier.

excellent addition - I really like the idea about the tef not kicking in until the mark is on another planet. Much like when a mark is in space, you can follow and 'track', but you must wait until they are groundside on a regular planet to initiate combat.

actually if you read my posts I am very supportive of BH ideas.. atleast those that arent slated to one side.
You want Jedi hidden, you want them in the open so you can kill them easier.
there are about 450000 posts with this same exact idea posted every day. ok maybe the tef thing is different.
But no i am not threatened by you, or your ideas. I just find them to be the staus quo and nothing new is being thought up except nerf this or change that so my hunting can be easy.

I apologize if the ideas in this post have been brought up before, and I have missed them.
Also, I agree that there needs to be less 1-sidedness and more open-minded posts. I started to lace into you personally, but only because your first post to this thread was a typical 'the status quo and nothing new', 'go learn how to hunt' answer that all the jedi that troll here post.
You may not agree, but Kashyyyk is a haven for Jedi. Although its not that hard, it is extremely time consuming to hunt there.

Ill tell you how to save time on kashyyyk
Go to any instance.
Write down the names of the people grindingg there.
Go to a terminal.
Find the mission
return to kashyyyk and take out your mark.
Sorry for the originaly status quo response I gave. Iam just blown away by the amount of hate for things ina game.
Works like a charm... except the 90% of the time that they run to the bridge.
yeah i agree teh bridge sucks.
as ive said 1000000 times anyone using it Jedi/BH whatever should get punished.
Funny thing. Idont use it, but I have had BHs come for me use it to heal up. iusually just drag them to the blackscale camp after that and let them do my work for me.
