Has anyone got a link to the Dev post regarding BH getting on the terms if they fail a mission?

Love the idea! Unlike the usual Jedi moan, as a BH i welcome the challenge. If I fail a few missions anda disgruntled employerdecides to teach me a lesson then im in for a twatting and i'll be ready

For Acheron5: You are not thinking it through.

If a Jedi has to grind 10 times as hard no way should they be 10 times as powerful...this only breeds a Jedi-only mentality where everyone will go Jedi, otherwise they will be slaughtered in pvp. Ludicrous!

Buffing other elite professions is pointless, it just creates more grind for everyone and changes nothing plus will be impossible to balance for the next X years.

The only significant fact is that Jedi is too easy to obtain and as a result there are WAYtoo many of them around. How powerful they are or arent is besides the point.

I'm not saying that they should be ten times more powerful. The argument isn't that they should be. The argument is that it isn't unreasonable thata player who has invested their time according to SOE's rules and the expectations they have fostered should believe that. It's not the players fault that they may think that it is reasonable that after spending all that time and effort to become a powerful profession that they should be balanced against someone who hasn't gone through that effort. The imbalance and the false expectations that players logically have are Sony's fault. The solution is not to balance Jedi against BH's, just as you don't balance an F-16 against Volkswagen Beetle's. The solution is to open up other high level profs that are just as hard to attain as Jedi is and balance those profs against each other. This should include faction ranks for the GCW that actually have some meaning in GCW faction play. If a faction colonel was more effective then a Jedi in PvP faction combat then players who are now choosing to be Jedi for PvP faction combat would instead choose to progress up the faction rank tree. This elimates the problems of the Alpha class and enriches the game by giving players more choices with rewards that correspond to the efforts made.

Wow, publish 19 is looking great! Some of this must have been inspired by Tanks's good work. Well done tanks. This is finally balancing some of the jedi out.

The really funny thing is how angry the jedi have got....lol - they have flamed the publish notes over and over saying us nasty, exploiting bh have ruined their game as everyone is better than them...LOL. Just go to this (not a clicky): http://forums.station.sony.com/swg/board/message?board.id=in_testing&message.id=73284&view=by_date_ascending&page=2

and go to the 1st page to see full patch notes, and look at all the flaming by the jedi.

Anything that upsets the jedi this muchhas got to be good. Now look as jedi come to flame this message. Bring on pub 19, bring on empire day and bring on the jedi, now we can stand a chance!

I say we defend the publish as it is the first time the jedi are getting balanced down to what they should be at - 1.5x better, this is open to debate but i bet that most of the jedi saying they are already weak and can get out killed and out healed b4 pub 19 are noobs, respeccers or rubbish at playing. Pub 19 may be one of the best combat publishes that has come out for swg. Please feel free to comment on your views about pub 19.

The healing delay is to much apart from that I have no real issues with Pub 19. 4 seconds would have been ample of a delay to bring some balance, the saber damage will have to wait and see
