THE PEOPLE'S CHAMP

Well... this is a game. They had to make it appealing for a wide range of people to enjoy. The main "professions" in the movies were:

Soldier - CloneTrooper, StormTrooper & Rebel (Carbineers mostly)

Bounty Hunter

Smuggler - Han Solo & possibly Lando

Jedi - Luke, ObiWan, Palpatine, Vader, Yoda, etc

Pilot - Imperial, Rebel, and Freelance

All the other professions that we have: Melee, Droid Engineers, Medical, Entertainers, etc were all either insignificant characters or just weren't represented. It wouldn't be much fun, I don't think for Everyone to be one of the 3: Soldier, Jedi, or Bounty Hunter. I mean that's basically what we have now, but they've added the others for variety.

This game never could be accurate to the movies in terms of professions because there wasn't much variety and it would be decidedly boring. As far as accurate to the movies in terms of the GCW.... well that's another argument.

Staunch Star Wars fans are upset about the number of Jedi in the game. Fact is, they aren't supposed ot be that many in this time period. Now, SOE can't take away a players Jedi because of canon issues with the movies, but they can make it harder to get, which they did. They knew that eventually the "system" of grind 5 random professions would get out, and anyone who wanted a Jedi would grind them all until they got their Jedi slot. That's just the way people are. So they changed the system to one which requires massive amounts of experience points and limited questing. Getting a Jedi is NOT hard at all. You just have to have the commitment of time and patience. From Glowing to Padawan, it will take a minimum of 19 weeks. 18 for the village phases, and one for the Trials. That's just lunacy to me.

If they were to change the system yet again, to one that required massive amounts of play time (that wasn't grinding) such as group quests, puzzles, etc.... at first there would be less new Jedi each week, but we would eventually figure that system out as well, and we'd see the numbers increase.

They can't very well just close off Jedi to all future players, because a large majority of people playing want to have a Jedi of their own, and the game would lose a huge player base because they "took away" their goal.

We're stuck with it. The worst thing they did, I think, was to make Jedi a playable profession. At least in this timeline. I WOULD HAVE NO PROBLEM with the amounts of Jedi in the game, if the timeline were advanced 10 years to AFTER Return of the Jedi where Luke goes off to re-establish the Jedi council. At least then all the Jedi we see running around would be Justified. We could even still have the Empire, because even though the Rebellion killed the Emporer, blew up both Death Starts and took Coruscant, the Empire retreated to "Imperial Space."

There are many things wrong with the GCW, but like I said, that's another argument...

Goes to show that those fightcluber were only that; takes no skill to exchange hits. They need to strip the tags for those force ranks.

Gratz on the kill and eliminating another Jedi scum. Maybe the Jedi will learn to stay in hiding.

Yes unfortunately hes not a jedi master , just a jadi master wannabe

you do know, since the CU, all power from knight and above were stripped?

so, in the end, it was just a padie with a title.

good kill though.

Well, i wished all full template jedi were as easy, ebay or not. I'm in the same boat. When I unlocked and got my alternate, i used the cu respec nonsense to turn mine in a mbh/mrilfeman/cm 4000.

After getting my head handed to me in about a minute every time, i decided to get better armor, get better weapons, get things sliced, get buffs, bomb droids, and different food. I didn't do anything but NPC missions for a months.

I've been going after Jedi the last week or so. I was still getting killed, but not through stupidity and inexperience now, but by the stupid knockdown bugthats causing me more of a problem then the full template's i'm fighting. I'm knocking their health down and making them use up mind to heal and i'm staying in the fight until the knockdown bug rears it's head. That's when i get in trouble and power hit and armor break start having their way.

I'm going to correct that problem with a dump macro. Regardless, i did bag my first official kill last night on Naboo. He was riding a Barc around near Kadaara and was making a bit of an attempt to get away from me. I got tired of chasing him and got off my swoop and burst run after him and blew up his BARC and then killed him in about 5 shots when he tried to run. He was obviously a newly minted padawan and didn't even have his saber equipped when i attacked with my heavy lightning rifle. He was okay about it. I told him i'd get him a vehicle restore kit via my alternate. I know i hate it when Bh's blow up my vehicles as jedi. Hopefully, he only lost a minimal amount of xp. I only got a 25k bonus on top of the 46k bounty.

Bottom line is, i've gotten better each time. It's taken time and experience. One thing i recommend is not fighting anyone with a pre cu saber though, mainly knights. Talk about an ass whooping.

Well, being a MBH for several months pre CU I thought I knew something about being a BH. Surprising the target, waiting for the right moment to reveal myself, the thrill of the hunt, etc.

But then the CU came, and I was out of the game for about 3 mos. Then about a month ago or so I decided to come back. /cheer

I decided to respec to MCM because I thought that would be a cool profession, and the thought of rezzing was fascinating. I had fought like 5 jedi or so and was defeated each time. Only one time was longer than 10 minutes, and I was a bit discouraged. So then I thought I needed to upgrade my pre CU armor and weapons.

I purchased some comp armor (5k energy resists), and a very nice scatter pistol (max dmg, 66 acc bonus, 366 base dps, etc.). And I took a couple of more targets. The first one killed me because my KD recovery did not work (and I NEVER use macros). The second mark was a personal friend, and I decided to cancel the mission. The third was a MLS/MDEF, and just wore me out.

Then came the fourth.

I tracked him to a local city, and to my surprise his av21 was outside a building. I couldn't remember if the attack would propel him out of the building, because I thought I had read that somewhere but was not sure. I took out his av21 in two shots, and POP! There he was.

He must have been looking at vendors or something because he was totally taken by surprise!! He didn't start attacking until I had 3-4 hits on him. Then I rooted, and continued to break in my new gun. As I set him on fire and applied his speed debuff, I watched him flop around like he was dazed and confused. After a few minutes, I noticed......

JEDI MASTER TAG!

This added gravy to my biscuits if you know what I mean. I sent the death blow, welcomed him to my universe, and received my 225 thousand credits. NICE! Took a screenie as I thought it was appropriate that I took out a Jedi Master.

Others have said he was an ebay jedi, but I don't care. My first kill post cu!!! Maybe I was the first one to welcome him to the world of the bounty hunter.

True, but it's an indication that they have a pre-CU saber and have 100 to 125 pearls in them. Every one i've spoken to after the fact had a perfect saber, basically, and great pearls. 75 percent Armorbreak would make this moot, however, probably.

I don't know if it would neccisarily make it a moot point. Even with 75% armor break slicing, it's still a perfect LS coming at you behind a MLS (probably). This person if it's assumed that they are NOT a Jebay knows their sh|t back and forward. This is still more dangerous than having the same armor vs a post CU Jedi with a not so perfect LS.

I never once saw the Jedi Master tag though. Not before the CU and not After. I've seen Guardians and Sentinals, but even they were more rare.

Jebay master tag can only be gotten by hours, days, months of doing nothing but Fight clubbing which is probably why this Jebay had no clue what to do when aggroed by a live opponent.

oh btw, Bmill, Jebay could only go up ranks by hoarding force points. Just because he has title of Master means didly squat as you say, "knows their sheet forward and backward", To attain Master jebay title there was one way all Jebay attained this...that was by fight clubbing. How did this work? simple. Find a group of Master Bounty hunters on your server. heck some jebays offered milllions of credits per hourto a MBh to allow them to kill them over and over and over and over and over again, butt naked so there is no decay. Lame but true. So anytime you see a Jebay with the Master title up, he sure as heck didn't earn that title thru pvp skills.

That's horrible.... what a crock of BS... why have a FRS then, if it's easily open to exploit?! Maybe that's why the got rid of it. It would be fairly easy to impliment code that would preclude the possiblity of killing same person over and over again to attain rank. Like the PvP rating now... The one that gives you the rating for killing an opponent ONE TIME, then every other time for like an hour (not sure how long) it tells you that "a true warrior diversifies his advesaries....blah blah" and doesn't give you the points. You would THINK that that would be easily instituted.

I thought the FRS was only going to give points for killing other Jedi though.... I know they got rid of TEFs because of this too. Jedi were camping out on places where people attain a TEF and wasting everyone in sight.

yes and killing MBH's. What is easier to do? Finding and killing other overt Jedi and assuming you don't get ganked and hit the cloner yourself, or? Go into a guildhall, hire a couple Bh's and kill them over and over and over and over again?all Master Jebaytitleswere earned this way. Don't fool yourself thinking they know their sheet and aregrand pvp masters,

I've never seen a Master tag, either. I don't think they actually exist. The sentinels and guardians i have seen, and knights.

Also true. A perfect saber, and master sabers, usually, is what i've run into. The armor break would let you live just a tad bit longer, but i don't see any way to beat them if they know what they're doing.
