Thread: A thought on house sitting

Why would you go out and leave yourself logged into the game? Seems pointless.

But thats the point i dont know i am. I could **modbot** to the shop and not want to logoff and get stuck in traffic or have an accident or anything.
Because it usually takes 5-10 mins.

So a Jedi can choose PvP on/off whenever they feel like it?

Why not? My BH does.
Jedi are there for more than BH content you know... Once in a while, you'll stumble on one that's afk in a house - so live with it. Either set up camp and wait for them to come out, or go get a new mission.
I do.
Jedi are more than BH content yes, but BH content they are, and should be so. They are supposed to be hunted.

as long as you force ppl to pvp who don't want to, this problem will continue. let the ones who want to fight fight. if only sf jedi are listed, you can be sure you will find a mark that will stand and fight you. if you are so intent on making everyone fight, regardless of what they want, then get used to staring at the red force field.
Lets get this straight, are you * really* suggesting that Jedi can turn on/off the PvP aspect of the Jedi game?
So what actual risk would a Jedi have then, seeing as they could simply turn PvP off?
It's not about Jedi running, thats part of the game and part of the fun from my perspective. If they escape they won and well done. It's not even about house sitting, I am patient enough to play the role as it should be. What it is about for me, and I admit from an RP perspective, is that a door shouldn't stop a BH.
the bh / jedi forced pvp dynamic is one of the worst game descisions ever made. it has done nothing but cause hate and a string of nerfs. the current system is a left over from pre cu days. xp loss was put in to stop farming, yet it's still there. remove that, and jedi will fight.
or give us a pve jedi setting. quite a few jedi have 0 interest in being uber or pvp. they just want to play jedi. at some point the change WILL happen. jedi had all the risk put in when they could handle 10+ normals at once. now, a single bh is a challenge for most post cu saber holders, yet all the risk is still there.
why would you be against this? you will get to fight marks who actually want to fight. or would you rather force 1/2 finished guys to run to their house as they stand no chance?
forced pvp has to go. it's not healthy for the game, and causes so many problems. you make this change, and the whole house sitting issue disappears.

The forced PvP/xp losswas implemented if I recall to assist in controlling the Jedi population. That worked didn't it?
I do.

it needs to end. jedi have NO positives to fighting. even if they win, they just get more vis, and are sure to have lotf of bh visits.
it's a poorly designed system and it doesn't work. making the system opt-in would guarentee bh would find a mark that is willing to stand and fight. removing xp loss would help in that direction, but there are still jedi who just don't like pvp.

Good - and althought not the way many believe it should be - it is currently the case.
But know this, a Jedi will make it as damned difficult for you kill them as possible...
And that is as it should be.
For want of a better word, 'realism', ie being stopped by a door, is the issue here for me. Not the Jedi escaping.

Then let me an evil jedi have the realism to break into your house and take your stuff, my lightsaber cuts right through your armour as its not got cortosis weave in it and my force lightning forces you writhging to the floor.
Realism works numerous ways, this is not realistic its a game for fun.

Realism being stopped? Oh come on! What's the realism in a Bounty Hunter busting into a group full of same faction Jedi, and taking one out, then running away while the other 7 Jedi stand and watch helpless???
You want realism, you're playing the wrong game.

I don't agree with the combatant system either, and the nonsense of people farming faction NPCs outside starports.
I agree with you, a middle line, a compromise, is what discussions such as this hopefully achieve.
