And any "good" Jedi knows how to exploit the LoS bug. Finding is never the problem. If they are online, you can find a mark. Yes, even on Kasyyk I will find you, but if you are not afk I will never kill you. Jedi, please stop coming in here saying everything will be fine when it will not. You just want to save your precious arses until you are full template and then 1v1 BH have to be lucky to kill you. Unless, of course, you have some retarded Jedi template that cannot heal, do any ranged attacks, or for some reason never buff yourself.

Once again, for those with problems with reading comprehension....

Of course you can currently hunt jedi there. But the devs have given NO INDICATION WHATSOEVER that you'll get the jedi's name at all after publish 20. Can you tell me how you'll hunt jedi on Kashyyyk where droids don't work if you don't have the jedi's name?

Saber TEF needs to come back..


Why do the devs want BH v Jedi to be 1v1? Most special force fightsin core cities are 2 to 5 v 1 battles, with multiple jedi against normal professions more often than not.


These kind of jedi attacks will only be solved with the old saber TEF for BH to attack. Even now with names on the terminals it can be a 15-30 minute search for a jedi who is load camping. The jedi know this and will move on before justice can prevail.

Anyone who thinks it's trivial to search 16 instances on kashyyy needs to have their head examined. each time its : zone in, zone to webweaver, travel, unstick, zone, zone. on ryatt the travel is about 4-10 minutes, zoning is30 seconds, say 10 minutes per - that's a hour to check ryatt and it's MUCH longer to check mythrill caves like 30-40 minutes each instance. Sure the spiders suck - but there are some heavy loot drops in this area.

Would you care to test out a 400 year old sword to see if it's decayed to condition 0? All the prior testers have no comment. Perhaps a gun which was used in WW I and still fires with high accuracy upto 1km?

If that doesn't get you, then start reading current military specifications for combat equipment.

I agree with you on this one, AFK grind is a huge black eye for all jedi that legit busted there butts grinding out in the pre CU days, dodging NPC's trying to stay off the terms, or even in the post CU days of group hunting on Dant or Lok. Best and easiest solution to the problem with AFK grinders is disable all XP on kashykk. Think about it, if SoE really wants to make a planet thats content driven then to that, dont make it a haven for jedi. make it a place where you can go do a quest have some fun, and save your grinding for dant / lok.


I am a former Jedi Knight, grinded my entire template solo on dant with out getting on the terminals once, until I was finished.


Also I have a M BH / Carb alt that I go hunting with.





this is a great idea, and i belive a great fix. if kash is really just a questing planet (as is the corvette and the avatar platform) disable the xp for those locations, and quest away. have a great fight with your friends, get good loot and rewards. i would still go to these locations, just for the content, the battles, and the loot/rewards. i would care less i didnt get xp. i am not there for xp anyway, i am there for the rewards, the fun, and the content. isnt that what SoE said kash was anyway? great idea firespyer, i back it 100%


its an easy fix, and makes a whole lot of sense to me.

Kashykk: New Jedi private grinding Planet, who needs houses when you got Kashykk? House TEF being implemented.. Who cares if they have their own friggin planet to live and grind on with virtually no risk.. someone please explain the logic of Kahykk to me, and it better not be: They want Jedi to grind in peace so their numbers can be increased..


No name: OK, No level status: OK, No faction: rather not, i dont like to kill own faction, but used to it as it is already so not really the biggest problem, but KAShykk.. man.. as it is now 90% of them practically live there already, now it will be the full 100%.


Explanation of Dev: Jedi will expose themselves eventually: That's true, after hours of long grinding on kashykk, im sure they have to get to their houses or whatever for 10 minutes or so, well that leaves quite an effective time for us BH to hunt them not? or did he mean, eventually they are full template and too bored to stay on kashykk so they'll take the risk of getting hunted by a sole BH (i mean full temp Jedi vs Full temp Bh still is about 10% chancefor the jedi to die, quite scary indeed.) What will we see: 100 full temp jedi creating lag waving their glowsticks around at the MOP, and 900 paddies grinding safely at kashykk. Eventually the numbers will be more like 900 full temps and 100 paddies. Very promising indeed....


Solution: Make tracking droids work on Kashykk, and if the devs are in a good mood also show faction of jedi, i'll be a happy camper then.


But we all know the true reason track droids don't work on kasshyk: its an instanced planet, cheap to make, but they made a slight oversight, the tracking droid code does not work on this, so they had to think up a poor excuse: Due to the large amount of lifeforms on kash.. blablabla, as if endor is a desolate desert planet or something.

Allthese complains. Kashyyyk never stopped me from hunting my mark. This is a hunt. the harder, the beter. All these repeced BH make me laugh. We don't want the "I win" button. A good hunt is a hard hunt. It's even more enjoyable when the battle begins.

There's also people playing this game who actually have jobs/lives, we don't really have time to spend 3 hours trying to find a mark, only to find out he left, or find him in a LOS area.

Sorry... I correct anything I see related to programming. It all boils down to 1's and 0's. They CAN fix it, but, for any number of reasons, choose not to.
