I thought I would add some praise to counter my negative observations...

Did anyone notice they fixed the email problem?

Remember you would get like 20 windows opened when you would write or forward email?

And there is a radial option to attach a waypoint to the mail when you select the wp.

Why didnt they advertise this fix?

NS elders are now 10x or so harder to kill and do uber damage. As usual, there is no balance in this game, you've gone too far the other way.

As usual there is no balance in this game.

I've been saying it for a year now.

I have been playing since launch and participated in the GCW once, it sucked, never again, PVP is unbalanced and for a year I never participated...so basically, I'm not getting my money's worth.

NOW...PVE is unbalanced, lol! Great, fine, good...

I have 2 accounts, I will be cancelling one.

I will be keeping the crafter that supplies thepoor folks who waste their time in combat.

Then I will play JTLS, if it even REMOTELY sucks, bye.

Nightsisters are suppose to be tough to kill. That's why they drop the uber loot.

I wasn't focusing on the nightsisters specifically...sorry if the highlighting process escapes you.

I was focusing on the fact that when SWG "fixes" something, they always tend to take it too far back into the other direction.

I LOVE THAT THE NPC'S USE SPECIALS AND SWITCH WEAPONS. IT IS AWESOME.

I HATE THAT WE HAVE A WEAPON DELAY AND THE NPC'S HAVE BEEN MADE JUST A LITTLE TOO DIFFICULT.

I am a Commando BH, do you know how many weapons I have?

If there HAS to be a delay, they need to fix it, it is the worst timed que EVER.

The delays of the flamethrower...the delay of the healing in the que...and now the delay of switching weapons HAS NO TEMPO. They are out of sync with one another.

You can never tell WHEN something is going to happen.

Why should I have to wait for the flamethrower delay to heal?

And it seems that if I switch weapons, I have to wait till the weapon switch is complete to heal. BS

The game has never had any balance.

Doom 3, Half life 2, WOW, Kotor IIand EQ2 WILL bring balance to SWG, and you will see servers shut down and combined.

Please post your feedback on:
Increased Loot Kit Drop Rates
Thanks for giving those of us who cant afford 500K per thread have a chance at getting a rug

Jedi Bounty TEFs should clear properly
I see a person in Jedi clothing holding a lightsaber. Why does he not have a TEF to everyone standing there looking at him? Now that you have thrown the Jedi being "all but extinct" out of the window, are Jedi no longer hunted either?

BTW....how can a Meatlump know I have -5000 faction 64m away....but Imperials and Rebels have no clue about a players faction standing until we walk up to them and /biatchslap them?

Spawn time increased for Squill Cave
How is this stopping the camping by Jedi?

Mark of Courage quest should allow looting of no-move item
Don't care

NPCs should again equip/change weapons during combat
They do not appear to have the delay in switching weapons as we have

NPCs should again use special abilities
About time

Not a single nice or respectful comment in there, and we wonder why the devs don't listen to us.

I think about 50% of players enjoy going solo. So, making it to where I cannot kill many NPC's without being in a group, just kills the game for me. Even as a solo, nightsisters were hard. I could hold my own most of the time. I passed a nightsister protector yesterday, and she hit my swoop and nearly took it out. I didn't even know what hit me at first. I saw the NS and jumped off the bike, next thing I know, I'm incapacitated. I didn't even get a chance to hit her. After I cloned, I realized my swoop was disabled. I'm Master Swords/Master Rifle. Yet this NS killed in in 5 seconds. That right there is enough to make me want to find another game. I don't like hunting in groups, I'm a true solo player. I worked hard for the 30k it took to buy that swoop, and poof it's gone in 5 seconds.

Also, I agree, with earlier posts. The NS are using specials for weapons they don't have. You messed up on this one I think.

Personally I love the patch, had great fun hunting low level NPCs last night, and was actually enjoying feeling that fear of dying again.

I can understand anout the solo issue, but to be honest, the uber NPCs should have been solo'able, they should need groups. This is, after all, a MMORPG.

If I go solo, I stick ot low level NPCs, like I did before, I can't macro them (never learned how, never wanted to) and I enjoy making a bit of cash on the side to supplement my crafting.

So a big thankyou from me for the patch, it is fun, it is exciting and it is dangerous!

As for paying 30K for a Swoop?!?!? They sell for about 16K near me.

Who ever said NPC's should be submitted to the weapon switch delay? What will you ask for next? I guess you could claim thatit's unfair for high-levelfor NPC's tohave more HAM than the average player. What should the dev's do to make you feel uber again? Reduce the HAMpools of all humanoid NPC's HAM to the same levels as player HAM?
