Matters. Check to see if your in a group, caused a Dot on them, or you attacked with a different weapon.

i was in a full group and barely hitting with 2-handed axe(master swords)then would throw my gernades which are both imperial and thermal. Yesterday i had a 1/2 full group and was getting 4k xp for combat think i may be bugged so doing a full scan.

thanks

Did you just notice this change? I'm curious if it could have anything to do with the recent "fixes" they just made...

Can anyone else verify any grenade XP changes?

Good to hear...kind of sparked an interesting debate going on in the Correspondent forum...The debate is over, if it came down to it, which would be better, NERF'ing Commando grenade Combat XP rate or NERF'ing the Combat XPexchange rate for FS XP...

Obviously I'm STRONGLY against anything that negatively impacts the Commando profession, especially since not every Commando is interested in becoming FS...and NERF'ing the Exchange rate would effect everyone equally instead of just targetting one profession. The opponents stress that the FS Exchange is good for everyone, and it's better to hurt one profession then all professions...I disagree...

A third possible option came up...NERF'ing the Combat XP received via Grenades AND at the same time, lowering the amount of Combat XP Commandos require...

If I had to choose anything, I'd choose NO NERF...and as far as I know, none is being considered...If I had to pick a NERF, I'd NERF those who are complaining...and since the source of complaints are coming from the Jedi community about the rate at which people are earning Combat XP to exchange, it seems to me it can be fixed within their inner circle by fixing the exchange rate and making Combat XP less desirable...

If you see anyone bring up this issue, remind them that Commandos have an increased rate of Combat XP gain for a reason...We cost at least 15K more Combat XP then other professions ike Rifleman...And thanks to the Accuracy, Speed and Negative affects of Grenades, that Combat XP bonus isn't as big when you factor in that our regular XP is capp'd at 3K per kill (other professions like TK and Rifleman are capp'd at 5K...a factor that also impacts the level of Combat XP gain)...

sigh thanks for the headsup garvin. If all those imbeciles are already whining about commando combat xp gain (a NON factor before the fs grind existed) then i'd better get my last branch of FS xp this weekend.

it has already reached you correspondents. That means someone is already licking TH's anus to nerf the combat to fs ratio.

and it WILL get nerfed.. likely after phase 3 is over when the thousands of ex-hologrinders get padawan in this phase.

Thanks again garvin. Also i have had 3 people in the guild giving commando a try not to grind but to see what the fuss is and they see the difference and have changed their opinion of it. I pray that th doesn't listen to the whiners again but since the game has come out it seems they do. but of course I wouldn't know the discussions they have. Another thing you could point out. If you use gernades it does take a big toll on your armor. For how much I play i spend 400k for a new set of armor each week. Just a thought.

thanks
