BH terminal at the starport.







I feel the best way to handle Kashyyyk is to lower the combat lvl of the creatures and npcs there to 70. This would negate any xp from jedi unless they lowered their combat rating as well.. And if they did that, they would be MUCH easier to kill..... Once I get another PC set up in my house, I'll be putting 3-4 alts on the hotspots of the trail so I can easily monitor whos there..

it was not done on purpose. For the first couple days, the driods semi-worked, and you did not get the BS 'due to high lvl of life ...' message


It was a problem that they either don't want to tackleor can't. Droids have proved to be such aproblem for them, it is prob both.


What we have is another band-aid solution, of which they did not look at any of the repercutions for it. big surprise.


What bothers me....We are now 2/2 for expansions granting a break for jedi, /cough the only two expansions to date

Yeah....since we all know how many Jedi are grinding in space...... /sarcasm off.


And the only break that Jedi got on Kashyyk was from the BH's who are too lazy to actually look for their marks. There are a very limited number of places that Jedi can actually grind. And there is no where for them to run. You should be happy...not a house or big body of water anywhere on the planet. There are several posts giving advice on how to find marks on Kashyyk....might want to check them out....


I have no problem with them putting a BH terminal at the starport. But I really don't think that's going to pacify those that think that Kashyyk is a safe haven for Jedi. They will still have to actually look for them....and for some that's just too much work....

I have chased marks off kash before. I have killed jedi when droids did not work, dont tell me about 'actually looking' for a mark.


The point is, this was not the initial intention and due to lack of ability and/or resources it got a band-aid fix.


Jedi are not grinding in space... but some sure as hell sit there when the heat is on. Droids work in space, but the TEF does not.


*edit* A bh term at kash would be nice. I would use it and tons of jedi would complain. IMO make the stuff no xp or lower CL so it is not as viable. If it is a quest style expansion and you want to not be bothered, give xp for finishing quests, not killing mob X.

Hmm, you must have missed the post about Jedi not getting any JXP in space. Yep, great idea to let you kill them there, how about we just give all BH (me included) a nasty firespray with unlimited shields and missiles and lvl 10 blasters.


Or from the Jedi POV how about you lose investigation if you die in space, it's a separate system, deal.


Now on the Kashyyyk side, here's a BH take.


Grow the heck up. I don't need a terminal at the starport myself, won't argue against it, but I don't need it. Get two friends and go hunt the instances, cuts it down to about 25-35 min tops if you're all quick about it. Now please do me a favor and learn to hunt.


FYI to catch one group of Jedi (three in 1 guild) I planted a friend as a spy in their group. I know everyone in that guild. I see them log on and off, and with the spy know where they grind. They have fallen or will fall soon. I don't even need droids to hunt, what does that say about you?

If it bugs you that bad, just don't take Jedi missions.

Why must half the posts in a thread be by people whinging about people whinging, and there is no need to point out this post is whinging about people whinging about people whinging, I already know. How about for once if you have nothing helpful to say you stay off the thread. Its not going to make the devs go "Hey, this guys thread has no cries for nerf in it, lets impliment his idea!".


We also have no need for Jedi crying about being nerfed in the entire BH forum. You have the Jedi forum for that.

i have a solution for this (while not being the best one but the only one) send a friend over to the AFK area and /tell your friend who is there, your friend will be on the term and find a name that syncs up and go get'em. this may annoy the jed who is AFK but thats the risk you take. to even it out swap otu and the guy who was gettin the jed names goes to the term and the guy from the term goes to the AFK area. pretty simple split up the money, while both might not be getting XP it will definitely encourage Jeds to stay alert.


just an idea

Lemi's idea is a good one. He's not asking for droids to work or for any other assistance in finding Jedi, just the ability to get missions from there.


A typical night might be something like this:


1) Go to Kadaara and scan bounty mission terminal.


2) Find jedi that is in the target range and online. (this can take 20-30 minutes of repeated clicking).


3) Get BioSig


4) Launch Probot and wait. (3 minutes)


5) Mark is on Kashyyk


6) Launch into space and fly to Kashyyk (5 minutes)


7) Seach Ryyiatt trail and other instances (this can take another 40-120 minutes easily).


8) Mark logouts for the night before you can find them.


9) Back to Kadaara to start over.


So within an hour and a half to two hours, there is no real action for the Bounty Hunter. At least the terminal on Kashyyk could save about 20 minutes of our gaming time.



And for the guy that thinks Jedi are so poorly off (nerfed as he put it) - what are you smoking cause I want some of that!! A full template jedi is the most powerful class in the game. They can solo mobs unlike any other class and can, if well played, take out 3 combat level Bounty Hunters that are attacking alone. That makes jedi three times more powerful than any other class, not 1.5 times as the devs have suggested.


/salute Lemi

You are aware that if there was a terminal in spaceport that you could go to the trail or cave, check normal grind spots and write down some names. Type /unstick go back to the terminal find a name on the list and go back. You dont need any droids you dont need a biosig.... It would save alot more that 20 min.

Few things -


I'm honestly not complaining....I did not feel compasionate enough to start a thread about it, because over all there are ways around it. Which I have done with success. I do feel enough about it to toss in my .02c.


When I do go to Kash for a mark. 9/10 he/she knows im coming for him as soon as I land, or once I reach the entrance zone to the instances. Having someone w/the jedi to know what instance to check would cut maybe 20min off the job but not really any kind of solid solution and that will only work/last so many times. Only so many places they can go for xp on kash.


I see nothing wrong with being upset that it is not working in the original vision. Space was never said/intended to allow you to attack a mark in it, no prob, it was said up front. Kash was SUPOSE to allow tracking, and because of complicated problems they either cant/wont fix it. It is frustrating but we obviously have to learn to deal with it. The 'Ment for questing, uninterupted' was a back pedle on their part, they did what they had to.

Thats the best solution really. Kashyyk is a quest planet...not a grind planet.
