SoE has no backbone. How many hours did it take them to reverse their stance? Oh well, back to KotoR.

It wasn't really a nerf, all it did was split xp between group members.

Yeah i know. I apologize I just coulnd't resist.


I did the BH grind during before JTL it was pretty tough.


Couldn't imagine doing it without mounts just to get to the spot and get "Mission Incomplete" I'd definitely be fuming.

Majority of the community were upset over the change as it affected all Professions.


The only ones that didn't have a problem with it are those who didn't have to grind.


They will reduce XP just not as drastically as they did.

Here is what people dont get: Maybe the revert back to pre-pub22 xp wasnt GOOD for the game, but what would be WORSE for the game would be losing the amount of players that were going to leave if they hadnt, with no big draw to bring new players to fill their spots now that ep III has come and gone. It was the lesser of two evils.

I dont think Jedi grinding is the problem or even what needs to be slowed down, I think its Jedi unlocking. They've taken the first step by changing the combat xp ratio, but more needs to be done. I think, logicaly, what should be done is unlocking Jedi should be the really really hard part, because once your a Jedi your always a Jedi. After your a Jedi though you should be able to reasonably get your skills.

I'm sure the people who supported the original nerf will blame Jedi for the unnerf. But undoing it wasn't because Jedi complained. It was because almost EVERYONE complained.

Thats why the nerf was stupid. No one disagree's that xp is out of control. But this nerf was taken too far in the other direction. If the devs had actually bothered to stick it on test center and do something called testing for 2-4 weeks I'm sure they (and the testers) could of come up with a sweet spot that keeps the game both challenging and fun. This grind would of been tedious. Tedious is never fun.

If they want to make levelling long, fun and challenging they could try adding quests that help you to advance but are challenging.

Is it so much to ask as players to have a game you play for fun; not be boring, tedious and turn into a 2nd job?




Exactly.


but Xp needs nerfed for combat professions. It is insane that you can get an elite combat prof in half a day let alone the fact the Jedi grind is so much easier. This also leads to people getting through the village faster.


XP needs nerfed badly for the games sake. But they need to not do it to such an extreme
