I have no problems with it. The game evolves also if we had good loot in the old days, then they'd all be obsolute and we'd be waiting for the loot revamp sometime in 2010.

I feel for the old time Jedi though, those that grinded for months while a lot of post-CU Jedi became full template via respecs and AFK grinding at Kashyyyk.

i say let them get the loot ,i was rich before the cu now i dont need armour or weapons as mine are all adked now

and ive got 2 bh suits to go with it all i need now now is a mando set and jetpack but who needs them to hunt jedi.


let them be rich and have good fun ,also let the rest of the profesions, but not jedi they have had the good stuff for them selfs for 2 years.

wait, so you're pissed that they added cool content to a profession that you enjoy?

i don't get it

First off let me say that this is not a Nerf call or a rabble rouse...it is not my intention to call into questions anyones skills or worth.

I made Jedi two weeks after the CU ending a one and a half year carearof Jedi hunting myself culminating in a total of 166 kills. I played through 10 min shuttle waits, no mounts, NO SHIPS, grouped jedi and FD all the way scrimping and saving, grinding it out on my leather ass to affored the best equipment, attachments, and weapons avalable.

i have to be honest it gets to me a bit lol when people talk about grinding bh or respeccin to bh and then they are millioniares after 5 kills because of some AA or CA.

i too was around before mounts, vehicles, and even jedi lol we walked everywhere and camped when we had to. i remember havin a mark out near wayfar and having to walk from anchorhead lol cause that was the closest shuttle.

---

Not a BH story... but I remember the old PvP days before mounts when Besting would raid Anchorhead. Like 30-40 of us would literally RUN across the desert for 2000m to get there. It was GREAT!

---

i remember those raids across squill infested areas (back then squill were the just under krayt lol) and back then anchorhead actually had people in it not like now it is a ghosttown on kettemoor.

finally, another vet bh, asking a proper question....

i feel agreived, no vehiciles, no 10 minute shuttle wait cos there was no player cities lmao! walking 8km to get an npc mark did the job

hunting blk sun to get BH armor, taking ages to find them, fairly hard to solo, then after a few months of finally getting a full set of bh armor i could finally do sommat else....

no loot form npc marks, only invest points

THERE WASNT EVEN THE OPTION TO HUNT JEDI WHEN I FIRST GOT MBH LOL!!!!

with pre cu solo grinding to mbh, when u needed master scout and master marksman to get novice BH was quite hard and took long to get to master.....

now, there are nothing but respecc BH. with p1ss easy to get BH armor, that they can make into whatever colour they want

they drop the master scout and master marksman requirement and make it sooo simple to get to novice

invest points are so easy to get its just funnny, with vehicles and shuttle ports everywhere

was one of only a few to walk around in BH armor and jetpack like a proper BH.....now everyone seems to have the BH armor

most peeps are all bored of mbh's now, cos its so common

they get rich soo fast and soo easily cos of the new loot add on, yeah i think its a kick up the arse to all those vet bh that where bh beofre respecc came around and that are bh for the title not just for killing jedi

AGAIN!

I would really like to encourage you to not take credit for what the original owner of your account accomplished with his toons.

I think it is extremely lame that you would do such a thing, and you should be ashamed of yourself!

The new system is nothing in comparison to the old...the balance of the old system as far as BH/jedi went (at least for me as rifleman/bh) was so much more fun. I could drop anything with an even numbered payout under 218k pretty easily. but anything with MLS...I got rocked by.

The skill involved in this system is paltry compared to how it used to be...with MCM and competent kiting abilities just about any jedi can be killed easily. The new droid system doesnt allow for true hunting (my 700 name friendslist annotated in full is useless). It makes jedi missions HARDLY different from npc ones

I do like the loot, it allows people who dont want to hunt jedi to be BH...now thats its skills (aside from just eyeshot) are worthwhile.

not mad at new content ... but rather a bit saddened by how easy it is to be a bh.... when i first got bh i had to master marksman and master scout. had room in template for a little ch or maybe some medic. its just different. i guess thats why they call em the good old days lol.

ah nostalgia, i can understand that. i had ranger tracking when i first took up BH

it helped a lot with those invisible marks that werent quite where the seeker reported, allowed me to pinpoint them and draw something over to it for an area attack

OMG raids on Bestine, it was great to be sitting ther over and just see this sea of red come into the city then when you are about to fire the first shot:

eyeshot, lag, eyeshot, lag, eyeshot, lag, eyeshot, lag

eye%$%$ - incap

You've been killed by Garlic Cruton

Clone

Come back

Sit on your azz in the med center for 30 mintues with everyone else.

Let's not get into how the poison was back in the day, you could force somebody to log off for hours while the DOT stayed with them lol. People were in the med center and you would see the little swirl over their head then they would just get incap over and over LOL.

I like how the new BH is going. SOE finally gave us a lot of things we were asking for 2 years ago, which of course will cause other players to gravitate towards BH. What I can't stand iswhen new BH's whine about how hard Investigation is to grind!!! Please, the new system practically puts you right in front of the mark in 5 minutes!!! In the old days you'd still have 5 minutes left to sit waiting for the ship off of Kaadara. All in all however, things are better, and in retrospect, our earlier efforts (and no small amount of screaming) benefitted the game and the new players.
