I think its obvious that the design of Kashyyyk is intended to sell copies of ROTW to existing players who are leveling up their Jedi. It was designed to make it easy for them to level on safely, so that it would sell the expansion to those players who might otherwise have ignored it. It will remain exploitable like this as long as its good for sales - and thats why they stated it was a Producer's decision not a devs.

For the same reason identifying your mark on the terminal has been made difficult as well, though not completely impossible it seems. This is probably because Bounty Hunter is the second most popular profession after Jedi, and many Jedi have a BH alt. They can't cripple BH entirely or risk losing that segment of the playerbase.

In other words its all about the sales revenue and nothing about the game balance or reason. Arguing against it is like p****** into the wind. Jedi produces sales, and sales gets executives promoted and increases the bottom line. The game is progressing along this path because it sells to the public that way. Same thing with the CU, its easier for people to understand a level based system because thats what they had in other games, so this game has switched from its clever skills-based system to a hybrid that includes levels. Likewise the curren gutting of the crafting classes - this patch introduced a bug that makes experimentation completely impossible (well you can do it but you are blind to the results, so same thing effectively) that was reported on TC but completely ignored and went live anyways. So, probably no crafting being done at all until they fix that for most if not all crafters. I know I will be producing NO weapons in the forseeable future. Most crafting professions have major flaws in them, but the represent a smaller portion of the population so they get screwed over patch after patch, and the devs introduce increased drops with ROTW so that crafters are marginalized even further.

Soon you are going to have a KOTOR flavoured version of EQ 1 in space because the producers have decided that tearing things out of the game is easier than fixing problems.

I am glad to see you can at least get the mark's name from a Seeker droid, since those were bugged before at least this might make them need purchasing a bit more often.

This is the most comprehensive statement on the state of SWG ever. You should have to read this right after the TOS before you log in. Depressing.

SOUNDS LIKE EVERYTHING IS WORKING AS INTENDED.

At least all the jedi are happy with their free XP planet.
After their grind is done they are happy slaughtering MBHs 1v1.

There must be an airborne down syndrome virus circulating in the SOE-SWG producers conference room.

Jedi missions created only for online jedi my @ss

and the whole have to be within 1k of the jedi to get their name....BULL

FINNALY after 15 or so attempts I find a jedi NOT offline...and not on kashyyk

I'm not sure if you've been a BH for very long, but...

When I ground BH, way-back-when, that was a very real problem.

Well I guess that publish 20 works fine just confrims even more know of afk grinders on Kash. I pulled 20 missions. Out of the 20 missions pulled only 1 was a viable target not on Kash. In addition I am on the Kauri server and I too can do without the jedi griefing around the terms on Kadarra.

Serious problem with cloaking. Not many BH will figure this out until they fight one that has it. The Jedi can now cloak WHILE TEFed! This means that as soon as you get 20 meters away from the jedi they are gone, which we must do to fire effectively. ThisMUST change; it is way too much of an advantage. It is like a get out of fight free skill. Sony gets rid of the "mobile homes" then changes it so thatJedi now have a skill that can do the exact same thing now. Imagine that.

this skill is working exactly as it did pre oub 20.

It is meant to be an escape skill.

Ok you tell me what self respecting bounty hunter is going to take a mission without knowing who they are going to hunt much less not even know how much they are going to get paid. This new system is a fuggin joke. Did SOE ever bother to get feedback from real bounty hunters? Jedi with a BH alt to hold their mission doesn't count. This Pub20 is lame and make no sense what so ever.

Sounds like someone is mad cause they can't pick on noobs anymore.

Yeah I know, that still doesn't answer my question. What kind of bounty hunter takes missions without information up front. Fuggin joke.

HAHA!

BH dont go out searching for someone....some asks them to take out a mark - that they want eliminated.
No BH goes out looking for a job to kill a specific person.

The fact that you are angry makes me go:

Now Cloak is different from pre20....you could always /target them and throw DOTs...now you cannot target..bid difference!
