Thread: Simple solution to BH v Jedi issues

Who cares about xp loss? A full template Jedi PvPing has no need for xp and neither does a full temp MBH. The simple solution is to bring back the saber skill loss- not perma death. The only exception to the skill loss would be db's by a BH with their mission. They would still be able to grind, still be hunted and killed by BHs, but would PvP at their own risk. Then we see a lot more Jedi in hiding or at least not as willing to bork the GCW. This may seem a little harsh, but compared to saber TEF and perma death, this is light. Something needs to be done since this is pretty much Star Wars Jedi Galaxies now. I play a Jedi too and wouldn't object to something like that.
If I'm reading this correct, this is again a one way street for BH. Nothing happens to a BH, but nail the Jedi to the cross. PvP needs to be more equal than this...

Leather missed the point entirely but judging from the post you won't be happy until you get free things either.
As to everyone else I was happy to see good discussion save 2 posts.
My call on loss of exp is whatever the power increase Jedi have over MBH, Jedi lose an equal amount of exp to that. If a Jedi is 1.5x stronger overall than a MBH, then Jedi lose 1.5x more exp. That's just fair. Don't really go to the "Jedi exp is tougher" argument because it really isn't. The buddy I know that got enough exp for Padawan in under three days is me. During 2x exp I got enough Combat prowess exp to totally unlock that tree as well as enough reflex exp to unlock that entire tree (would only need .5 of one of those). Did that in under 3 days. Under the original MBH system it took me months to get BH, then grind MBH in more time. Obviously the tow don't compare directly but SOE has undeniablly made it easier to get Jedi than it has ever been. If you need proof of this talk to a guy (like myself) who has played since day one. Yes, I even got on for 4 hours or so on the now infamous 1st day, sometimes called, "Crash Day." And the evidence is that back in the game's 1st year you'd see maybe 1 to 3 Jedi a week. Now if you don't see 12 to 13 Jedi per day something is wrong.
To those who say to take Jedi off the terminals I'd ask if that is in the spirit of the Galactic Civil War post Episode 4? Remember this game is set post Episode 4 (Jedi are enemies of the state).
************NOTE: A very important note should also be taken here. In Episode 4 there is a very telling quote. Vader to Tarkin, "He is here." Tarkin, "Obi-Wan Kenobi? Surely he's dead by now. You my friend are all that's left from that anchient religion." Would Tarkin make that mistake under the setting SOE have created?
I didn't miss the point. You didn't make one.
Exactly whatwould losing exp do to a BH? THEY choose when to starting hunting Jedi. THEY initiate the "risky" behavior. THEY can choose to start that behavior at a point when it's of no risk to them.
Sounds like you're the one wanting a free ride here. I see absolutely no risk for a BH in what you propose.
