Can someone explain how they get combat xp using nades? I have novice commando and use c12 frag nades and get no xp. I am going up the first tree, I am thinking that will help. Can I also get some advice from some of you guys that use this method of getting fs xp?

You have played this game since launch and you dont know how to use grenades to get combat xp?


Ebay?


YOU THROW THE **EDIT**ING GRENADE AND KILL YOUR TARGET USING NOTHING BUT GRENADES....


I know this post reeks of being an **edit**hat, but I am just in a cranky mood....

Don't mind Rankor, hes just cranky today. If you have novice commando, you should buy some C-22 grenades and some grenade power ups, the latter of which can be made by someone with engineering 4 quite well. When you use a grenade, you get combat experience instead of weapon experience (pistol, carbine, rifle, etc), so the more damage you do with the grenades instead of your gun, the more experience you get. Also, the bigger the mob, the more exp, up to about 5k.



Ancient weapons and hokey religions are no match for a rocket launcher in your backpack.

I'd just like to point out that there's more to this game than **edit**ing FS GRINDING!!! I don't kow about the rest of you, but personally, I love my commando, and not just because he gets me combat xp to trade in. In fact, I won't even spend the couple of hours to get the POI's to get "glowy"... as I don't care about getting jedi. I just want to blow stuff up. I swear, if I got a one-day subscription to SWG for every goddamn FS grinder that's sent me tells asking how to use grenades to grind.... i'd be the last account on kettemoor. FS grinders that picked up the commando profession soley for grenades and xp grinding are a disgrace to this community, and I make a special point of NOT helping them. I'll fly across the galaxy to help a fellow Commando take out a NS Elder, or a Krayt dragon, but I will NEVER help someone ruin the spirit of the game by encouraging grinding.


If these comments to not apply to you, bsmorris69, i truly apologise for my post... I am simply sick and tired of our profession being misused as a quick way to get FS xp. I'm afraid all it will do is attract the dev's attention, and then we get to say hello to yet another commando xp nerf.

I agree whole-heartedly, but more violently.


I'm just making an attempt to be civil...for now, anyway.


I want to see the blasted village bombed out of existance. I'm sick of hearing about Jedi, people wanting to be Jedi, and how to grind FS xp.


Star Wars was not entirely about Jedi, people. In fact, the most interesting characters, to me, are the non-Jedi. The don't have uber-powers, just raw skill and determination. Han Solo kicked 10x more ass than Luke could ever hope to be cabale of. So did Chewie.


And let's not forget the greatest pilot of all time (no, not Anakin), Wedge Antilles.


The Force is a crutch for the hopelessly weak who have no desire to better their true selves.


I admit, I'm a geek who plays the old WEG D6 Star Wars rpg with my friends. I have a Jedi character in that game, and I enjoy using him very much. But, I have more fun with my non-force sensitive commando.


Why?


Because he doesn't have or need the support of some "mystical energy field."


Like my character in this game, he worked his way up from absolutely nothing to be the best that he could be, without relying on the Force. He doesn't need nor want any kind of /forcerun or /avoidincapacitation or whatnot. He accepts that death may come at any time.


It seems like damn near everyone has forgotton about the true heros of Star Wars; the "ordinary" people that are made extraordinary by their unbreakable will and uncommon courage. They weren't Jedi; they were the so-called "normal" people.


BorgXan, at this rate, you and I may very well be the last non-Jedi people in the game.


Apologies to all for the rant, but this is a subject that's...touchy, I suppose.


I'm just tired of seeing our profession, or any profession, used and abused for the sake of grinding to be a Jedi.

Wow this thread went south quick......tries to pull it back into a positive direction.


What most people are doing with the nades is, kiliing off"animal" mobs normally, then throwing the grenades at the nest. You not getting any xp on NPC because the "people" flags are resistant to that typeof damage. With my fencer,you cannot hit the flag with a stun baton , no damage same with nades.

I too, whole heartedly agree with ryubushi and the original replier to the post. Im sick of people dipping into our beloved community to grind force experience. I believe it is one thing to come into the commando profession out of respect for our skills, or lack there of(hehe - had to get that in), even if your using our trees for stacking, ie. flamer usage. sure some people only take the flamer line, just because it is a truly incredible weapon and they think it will complement they're main profession, well, I can take that as a compliment- no different than us using other profession trees to account for a lack of defensive qualities - ie TKA. My point is that this barrage of wanna be jedi are doing nothing but whoring us out for force exp. I think it is disgraceful for them to post here. I would like to take this opportunity to encourage our community to refrain from helping these people. I know we all got our own opinions and i can respect that, but to be used in this particular fashion makes me sick - I for one will not offer any assistance and agree totally with the others. anyway, thats my take on it.

Guys I was commando at one time but good grief. Get a grip some of you. What is the dif between using commando to grind somethng and using any profession to stack things. Can you guys say Game? Cause thats what it is. Not life......a game. You use what you can to complete the desired objective. Dont blame people for trying to complete the task givenby the devs (which is so wrong and boring) in the easiest possible manner. The core issue is that the path sucks and people need a better way...hence the grenades. I have never cared how someone used a profession cause its a GAME. I'm sure to get angry responses to this which will only strengthen my resolve that some people take this thing wayyyy to seriously for a GAME. Just a thought. lol

Yes, this is a GAME, that's exactly my point. In my opinion, grinders fall into the same category of those who find exploits, continually forcing the devs to 'fix' issues that allow players to take an unfair advantage. It can easily be argued that aplayer should 'use the system available', but I think it is entirely too easy in this game to ruin any given situation for honest players by using the system. I know that many don't agree with me, and I'm fine with that, it's just my opinion. Please, don't anybody take this as a personal attack... that's not my point. I just think that people would have MUCH more fun in-game if they didn't continuously try to grind their way to a 'better place'. Sometimes, it's fun NOT to be god. To this day, the most fun I have had in-game is running like a silly little baby lizard away from a krayt dragon (big mean nasty lizard) and getting killed.... there was just this whole excitement factor. Honestly, though, my biggest fear is some developer sitting in a cube scratching his head going "hmm, grenades are giving players an unfair advantage getting force sensitive xp..... we should nerf that". Commando has already seen HUGE nerfs to their ability to harvest xp and loot rights, i have several screenshots of a dying krayt dragon with over 2/3WOUND damage (i'm the only commando in the area)... followed immediately with a screenshot of the message "you do not have permission to loot this corpse".... That's my fear and my concern, it's as much a problem with the system as with the players who use the system.

Both of you have some valid, good points, and just because I personally, and maybe others, take this a little more seriously - doesnt necessarily mean we have crossed that fine yet not invisible line of game vs real life. I can relate this to how people are so waiting for the combat upgrade. MANY peeps out there are stressed, frustrated, malcontent, pissed, psychotic (ryubushi), etc, etc about waiting for it to happen. Im happy to just go out and hunt many a rancor or Krayt, or whatever else i come in contact with while with me and the guildies. So i think it is fun running for your life, or ganging up on a big kill with about 15 peeps with lasers and flames all over the place, but using commando to grind and stacking things is an unacceptable point. No offense Both - as we can debate like adults - keeping in mind we both have differing opinions - and thats OK. I view it as stacking is an overall development process of a character you are paying cash to have. Of course your gonna stack - especially being commando, and once done spending all your SP - thats the character you have in this crazy game.


The inherent difference in using us to grind is there is no love for the profession - I think one can say that without crossing that line. Its ok to absolutely adore this game, and it doesnt mean your even close to that line. For someone to come in hereand all out say he is only using this for force grinding is ridiculous. It would be like a BH going into the Jedi forum and asking them whats the best way to do something. Im not saying we should hunt him down and kill his birds - just simply i wont offer help to that kinda person - solely because im going to give advice to someone who isnt even going to sit and enjoy my profession once he gets my advice. Hes going to use my advise - climb up the ranks of Jedi-ism(?) and then prolly end up killing me in PvP one of these days - No thank you.


I hope this helps you see my point of view - and hopefully the others.
