Thread: Publish 20 Simulation!... an effort to debunk the whiners

A nine badge jedi could also be a pre-9 jedi.
Know one personally, pre-9, full temp, not even enough badges to be glowy.
Almost has to be, since post-9 means the MAIN is the Jedi, and that one has to have at least about 25 badges, I think, to even become glowy. I just wonder what a pre-9 Jedi has been doing all this time to not be that good? Almost wonder if maybe he was in the midst of a template change, or something, otherwise, this just doesn't sound right.

Kashyyk is no viable option for the jedi, because of the visi (wookiee are NPCs)...
Now that groups will notcreate visi anymore, believe me, you will see more paddys grind on normal planets...

You will not see many padawans on the terminals at all. It will be easy to avoid. You will see finished and near finished templates. Better learn to fight them. They should just put 0400 medic as a requirement of bh and put in a healing tree.
Low level Padawans are generally the ones who show the saber to the friends.......
There will still be plenty of low level padawans on the terms for you to fondle.
But they are removing gaining visibility from your group.

I'm not sure about targets on Kashyyk... I don't normally hunt padawans but I know its an issue. Makes you wonder what the DEVS are scheming up.
Probably stay the same. I just wish they made the spawn timers 4x longer on the ferals lol. Oh wait... they might cry.
Well at least you admit it.
I, personally, am not a MCM. I have to rely on stims for heals, I don't have dots, and I don't have debuffs. Yes, I could use my token respec and change my template, but I really don't want to be a combat medic. I fail to see the point of the CU if I'm still pigeon-holed into one template choice.
As a MBH/MP/C44xx, I can't solo a 225k. I'll admit that. Tell me I suck, call me a newb, whatever, but i just can't kill a knight without help. To be honest, I don't really care. I can get just as much enjoyment out of this game by solo-ing a 180k.
Unfortunately, due to the disabled droids and static spawns, 80% of uncompleted templates go to Kashyyyk for their grind. I don't like this, but I can live with it. I check each instance, write down the names I see, then go back and scan the terms for a sizeable bounty with one of my names. Aside from the initial research run, this is a fairly quick and rewardingprocess.
Without names on the terms, I will have to check every instance, every time. Not only will this take hours per bounty, but I can't see that as time well spent if after all my work I end up being paid 50k because full payouts won't be listed on the terms either.
Sure, if I could solo a knight without taking the only template that's able to do so, I'd be just as apathetic as you are. But until I can or until Kash is fixed, I'm going to be seriously ham-stringed by this Publish.
I've soloed one just once. I can't seem to repeat it although I have came close. I do see myself as an exceptional pvper with the best equipment and I have been doing it for a long time. Maybe the jedi I beat was a piss poor pvper with a bad saber. Lately I've been getting obliterated because of massive saber damage.

Your so damn stupid (or arespec jedi troll...ohh wait, same thing)if you think jedi will stop grinding in ryyat after 20 just because it creates more visibility.
How manyBH are going to bother looking for a random difficulty jedi in a random spot in one of SIX (YES SIX) instances?!
Many more BH will keep looking for regular world missions then even now, putting even more pressure on jedi not hiding on kashyyyk.
I REPEAT, you are either very -VERY- stupid or a jedi troll if you think higher visibility will get people out of ryyat
Okay, let's slow down and think about this one a bit.
Why are jedi in the Rryatt trail? (Let it be noted that I never once grinded on Kashyyyk, much like I never threw a single grenade during my FS grind)
It was the fastest way to grind with lesser chance of being hunted.
Pub 20 fix now makes group hunting SUBSTANTIALLY faster, making the Kashyyyk grind obsolete.

Poor BH's have to work for a living after Publish 20
Now days the BH does is wait for the target (normally a jedi in the 40-150k area) to be in the middle of a pull pref low on hps then run in incap and db.
If you see a BH that actually goes for a full hp jedi thats worth more than 150k he have skills and aint a /respec BH and thoose will adjust to Publish 20, soo the rest of you 5-10 badges BH with no BH badge can just go on whining or use that last Token respec and go Master Dancer/Master Image Designer.
The current bounty system is used to greif, and take down jedi that aint a challenge just for the fun off it.
Soo what kind of BH are you?:
1. /respec 4winz!!!111!!
2. Old timer that will adjust to publish 20.
yeah whats next jedi having to learn how to fight without the benefit of their godlike abiliities?
Was a very nice account of how it can and should be for Bounty Hunters after publish 20. At least for the ones that stick in there and realize it can still work.
I tell ya, the new system reminds me a bit of a "Point of No Return" ...the movie about the female assassin. She stood at the window with the rifle, not knowing who her target was until the last second - then bam - she did the job.
She never got a name either, she just stood there waiting to get the information and then acted on it.
I tell ya, if my Jedi gets killed after publish 20, I will have nothing but respect for the Bounty Hunter that does it. So much so, I'll be willing to live with the xp loss with far greater patience than beforehand.
I honestly believe this publish will help tone down thebitterness between Bounty Hunters andJedi, at least when the two in question are rationalpeople looking forfun and are playing out their roles with that in mind.
yeah right. we will have more jedi than ever running around proclaiming how godlike they are because you wont be able to grab their mission and then when you wont duel they'll laugh at you more.

So, when players act like a child, it affects you that much, huh? Interesting point of view. I've always been mildly entertained by ones of that mentality.
How about trying to shrug off those types of players? They're not even worth a glance in their direction.
