then panzer, get a ps2 or xbox. theres no point in playing an online game by yourself..heh..and what good is all that loot when you probably wont survive the high end content anyway. youll be playing a new game also.


As for the clueless people blaming the players for getting jedi, well, your wrong. yeah i called you wrong. wrong like a fat man in a thong.


its the devs fault for their lack of creativity.


in order to severly slow the rate of jedi unocks, the village xp req needs to be much higher or xp per high cl kill needs to be cut to about 4.5k.


most would whine at the xp cut. but the requirements of the village needs to be changed to be much more restricting. If the xp requirements were crazy high, from a phychological view, most will not want to grind all that if they knew how much. theyd play and collect xp, but not a straight grind because it would be too much. Possible, but too much.


In addition, a form of negative xp could be gotten from npc and player deaths that would directly effect your fs stats. you would see a change in your FS progression bar in the negatives.


Jedi padawans, well the spin move should be either axed, and just aoe at dervish (master box) or at the 4 box. The four box alone would seriously slow jedi progression. and at the master box, heh, that would slow it to a crawl...


Do yall want to know how people get xp so fast?


AOE attacks. those need to be a master boxes.






actually i play because im doing it for the star wars feeling..and i get a sense of warmth out of it when i play. pc's are my favorite system, and ill never get an xbox or ps2..ive had em yeah, but sold em. pc beats all. and as long as i have fun..im perfectly fine.

So much for balance........WTG SOE you guys have to be the worst game makers in the world





why do you need a jedi who can beat other people easier than they can beat you to play this game ?


whats wrong with a jedi thats only as powerful as everyone else? especially when that jedi has another character slot?


how can SOE balance a game where most people are going jedi ? most people may not be jedi but most people are sure as heck going jedi ..


i honestly dont see any fault on the devs part whatsoever ...i think star wars .. and the idea of " jedi" in general is just EXTREMELY .. EXTREMELY hard to crate a mmorpg around








That's just a tad shortsighted now, isn't it.


Fact: I have 2 jedi, mostly thanks to the CU: boredom made me grind them. You might say I have a slightly more detached view of the phenomenon than most.


Fact 2: I have also been a BH since january 2004. Yes, a jedi hunting one. Quite a good one too. I specialise in levelled jedi, and I could kill them even before this patch.


I needed to grind about a week to get BH, and that was back in the days when you needed master scout/master marksman, and when most missions were bugged. Investigation xp is easy if you know what you're doing.


I never did any hologrinding but went for the village quests for the loot and for something different to do.


To get 6 force sensitive trees unlocked, it takes a mininum of 18 weeks
To grind from force sensitive to padawan takes 6 x 1225000 x 30 points of weapons experience = 220500000 xp (220.5 million xp). That's 43.5 combat professions worth of xp.
To grind from initiate to full template takes roughly 24 - 30 million jedi xp. Please keep in mind jedi get xp 6 times slower than non-jedi. The piket that gives my BH 7K xp, gives my jedi 1200-1300.


We are talking about a LOT of time and work spent to get jedi. SOE are actively marketting with the 'you too can be a jedi' thing. If you don't believe me, go create a new character on another server and do the new player tutorial. And when they dangle a jedi before people's eyes, they use the image of the jedi in the films, where even child padawans kick booty something fierce.


While I agree 100% jedi do not belong in the GCW, especially in this point in the timeline, I do think that after all the time and work, jedi should be something more than the broken thing it is now. I think jedi are the only profession in game who do not have working weapons (prime components do not drop, and DPS is broken), and who still get nerfed every patch. Maybe the answer is putting jedi in a third tier of SF, always overt to other jedi.


Personally, I think at this point the xp debt jedi incur at this moment is WAY too harsh compared to what they can actually do.


And incidentally, if jedi are ever made strong again, I think BH should have a special in their master box that only works on jedi they have a mission on, and that puts them on a par with jedi for this one type of combat.


Linna


PS: they can have my jedi back if they give me pre CU back. Until that happens, I will just keep grinding more, especially now even the BH NPC missions are borked.

No they wouldn't. With a Jedi system in place that represents an Ep. 4->5 perspective you'd still be able to access a Jedi, but surviving and advancing as one will be extremely difficult. Which is how it should be. By no means should the Jedi profession be easy, and I think everyone will agree with me on that.
