with all the changes to jedi as of late does it bother you guys that jedi are getting less and less incentive to fight?,at this rate it isnt gonna be long till every jedi you come across just decides to high tail it,what are your thoughts on this?..


P.S this isnt meant to start any flames,im just curious,seems to me that these changes could just as easily hinder your proffesion as help it

Eh, I still cant figure out why Jedi think they should get a reward for winning against a bounty. Normally IRL when you escape something like that being free and alive the only reward you get.


As for your question though, It doesn't matter to me. I don't bother with PVP much.

i dont neccesarily think there should be a reward,but in the same breath i dont think there should be a penatly either,its a risk vs reward scenario,theres risk for jedi but no incentive to risk it you know?, i know xp is easier to come by these days but its still no fun being put in the negative,especially with all the tweaking and nerfing the devs do to skills,retemplating is almost a must at some time or another

Yeah, I could do without the XP loss for Jedi too.. Say if a jedi was playing on a 56k, That could add up to a whole lot of lag death and XP loss by the end of the night.

The penalty is all we have left to control the amount of Jedi on the servers. Is was put there to stop Jedi/BH from exploiting the system and as a population control. We use to be able to hunt you in packs and that made population control alot easier but so many people whined about it we have this new system.


There is absolutely no reason for a Jedi to be given any kind of reward for killing a BH, like the previous poster said "being alive is the reward." In my opinion the penalty should be harsher.


Just food for though, if you think about it, the reward is being able to go about your business without a BH hunting you. Being able to grind and such without worrying about being attacked.

thats just the thing bro,even pre CU when a BH death set you back a week you never even came close to controlling the numbers,no-one can stop the most determined of padawans from levelling,but the difference was pre CU once you got some skills you had a good chance of winning,now even a full template has a very good chance of losing especially against a CM template BH...so thats my reasoning behind it,no-one likes to lose,and even more so when they get a penalty for it..however small that penalty may be

I think Jedi are still not to be laughed about. Powerful profession as is.


What I'm more concerned about is the healing wars currently in game. I hate how BH vs Jedi turned into long 45 minute fights in most cases and the fact that the better healer of the two has a greater chance of defeating the other. They went in the right direction with the action nerf to heals and I'm hoping more is done so combat professions don't have to rely on CM4000 and such.


The snares were meant to snare. Another good change to how combat plays out. Any player up against a Jedi will be hurting with these new changes...and any Jedi who relies on an uber saber to do their job for them will be in the same situation.


AI Nerf to Jedi...well it never was meant to be used to tank. It was meant to save your life in dangerous situations and it still performs this task well. Players weren't meant to tank with AI. As a bonus to this change, you won't have a herd of pikets following you if you decide to use AI to escape a bounty hunter while your grinding. Less damage you'll be taking while running off from your group and a hell of alot less drain if you decided to cloak because there won't be a herd of pikets on your azz.


Players might be whining and crying but these Devs are finally making combat more interesting...like it use to be.
