Ive been reading bits and pieces here and there about this but I still dont know a thing about it as far as the details. Anyone know anything in particular about how this will change things? When it will come into effect?

actually noone knows about it.. just bits and pieces of rumours here and there.. the devs are being very vague about it.. basically they said it involves complete balancing and the change in using specials by way of specials bar instead of relying on HAM bar.. who knows..

as to when it'll come out, i think the next publish.. im not sure

Hey,



When can we expect the changes being made to only getting Combat XP from killing things with grenades, or the amount of xp you get. I heard this from acouple of people in game and was wondering if it was true. This is not only make commando's pissed off, but make getting FS Points even harder.

Problem is people are using it as a grinding tool to get their Jedi toon. And the developers, in their infinite wisdom will once again take the sloppy way out and simply nerf grenade xp.


The sad thing is, people play the game like this. They would rather sit in a dark room spamming grnades all day to get the best xp ratio then complain to the developers that getting Jedi is nothing but a boring "Grind."


I hope they don't nerf grenade xp. I mastered commando back inNovember of last year and I want my Jedi character. But I'd rather take my time and enjoy the process than "grind" and be bored out of my mind the whole time.

On a positive note, I see all this whole thing as a good thing for our Grenades...no, not the idea of their XP getting NERF'd, but it's acting as heavy press reminding the Devs that our Grenades need serious work...At the summit the Programmers acknowledged to me that they needed to spend some time working on our Grenades and thier issues, but that it was something "down the road" while they put other fires out...The fact that tons of more people outside the Commando profession specifically are not grenade interested may make our Grenades issues a "fire" to be put out as well...


Personally, I'm going to fight any Grenade XP NERF...and if they NERF our Grenade Combat XP, then THEY MUST reduce the amount of Combat XP Commandos require but at least 15K - 10K (to match lower professions)...I would rather see them NERF the Combat XP FS Exchange rate then NERF our Grenades...the FS Exchange rate is what made our Grenade XP an issue...If they NERF'd it, it would effect ALL professions equally including Commandos...

They wont nerf the grenades. its TOO much work to nerf ALL grenades.

They will simply increase the ratio of combat xp to fs xp from 3:1 to something like 15:1

And the best of it will be that all those imbeciles whining about commandos will also get hurt by having the combat XP they gained grinding weapons xp nerfed as well!
