There is a 30 second delay after you call for a vehicle/mount/pet/droid before it will generate.

Thunderheart, I really think this is a bad idea, 30 seconds is a long time and it will only add annoyances for CHs. the rest looks good.

BANTHAS! NOW they add banthas! Dang!

let me understand this right....


you are complaining that a profession is too powerful when you have:

1. bounty hunters who can kill a person in one lucky shot
2. rifleman who can kill people easily in 2 shots, even buffed and high mind pools.
3. combat medics who can disease and poison a person's mind pool for 600pts per tick, making the individual die quickly.
4. commandos with a lucky shot can kill someone in one shot, if not that just light them on fire and run.
5. heavy swordmen who can apply mind bleed, which is one of the most powerful bleeds in the game.
and the list goes on...

Any job can be mastered in little time if one puts their mind to it. I had a friend master AS in like a week, and I've seen others do just as good.

Another thing I should note. Just because you die at the hands of a TKA doesn't mean that it should be nerfed, means you need to do better at PvP.

cheers.

Just cause its getting annoying....

This 20m (unarmed lunge 2) is from MASTER BRAWLER, NOT TERAS KASI. So for all you folks that are ticked at TKs, realize that this manuever can be done by any brawler (Fencers, Pikesmen, Swordsmen).

and...

Warcry 2 and Intimidation 2 (both nice items) again are MASTER BRAWLER. So realize that if a TK is using these on you he/she also had to blow the points for mastering brawler along with TK. Not to mention (again) that other brawler types can do it too.

and...

The reason some folks get their butt handed to them...is because the brawler is intelligently thinking this out, and using warcry to slow you down, and intimidate to lesson your attacks...and then speed bursting toward you...and then dropping you .

and...

Every single group (except pikesmen...you I feel for..) has a ass kicking manuever. That concealed shot has nailed me tooo many times. Do I complain? No. Just deal with it. I've been low blowed, feign deathed (thats an odd one too...cause they can lay there forever..),set on fire, and shot in the head... my advice to you folks that are complaining. Spend some money on defenses. Skill enhancers with intimidate defence or knockdown defence. Buy the right food!!! (theres ways to avoid knockdown now...)Bio-enhanced clothing for stun defence or bleed resist. Hang out with doctors that use dizzy resist packs. Mk 3 shield generators (get the ones that help where you lack) <for me, my shield (48%)is only good vs energy attacks, don't need it for kinetic>

The main problem is that the folks that are always crying "nerfy", havent bothered to open their eyes ...look around...wander the boards...get information...and help themselves. Knowledge of the enemy is more usefull then anything else.

""Bounty Hunter Jedi Tracking Missions: Now, Bounty Hunters can track player Jedi in the same manner as their NPC targets. Bounty Hunters can get a mission from the bounty hunter terminal for a player Jedi. Go to your contact to get the bio-signature. Then just use your seeker/probot droid to find your target. Keep in mind that unlike the NPC targets, players will move around unpredictably. (As a result, the location updates can lag behind a couple of minutes.) Additionally, Bounty Hunter tracking speeds have been fixed and now as the hunter increases in skill, the speed skill will increase."

...and when every Jedi who plays more than 20 minutes has to fend off two dozen unconsented PvP attacks, I will be very interested to see what happens. I don't particularly care for this whole system, but I know there are plenty of bounty hunters out there that are frothing at the mouth because they get a chance to hunt players. Whatever. Unconsented PvP doesn't work. Look at the difference in the subscription rates of UO and EQ at their all time highs. Look at the retention rates.

I'm sure there will be many here who will argue and flame this post, and they can have at it. There is a growing frustration in the Jedi community regarding this whole issue and I will be willing to bet you get your wish of making jedi super rare...subscribing jedi at any rate.

Just to clarify I have found 4 bodies of water on tatooine not just 1... but it would definately be hard to get to themwhenyou're on fire.

The unbalance in pvp goes way beyond the changes u are going to introduce...

1. Now composite fancy armors with increible defnces are everywhere.... Only rifleman (and pikeman i think) have weapons that can penetrate them... Im maser pistoler and tkm.... the stun pistol... tangle.... is so badand slow that the damage cause by it is ridiculous.... Republic blaster... that has pircing dmg, barely hurts thegood armors.... dx.. similar effect.... with tk (and meele in general) you do almost 0 dmg cause usually they are 80% kinetic resistant or more... if you use the VK that has pircing dmg you will die cause of the ham cost before the enemy gets up form a kd...

2. Rifleman can cause dmg of 600-800 with strafe shoot2... while you have to shoot 2 or 3 times just to hit them once cause the block almost anything.... And they have increible defences with the defences modes and mitigation.... that would be ok... if they didnt hit so hard... and so fast and so accurately while standing and runing ....

3. Poison.... well that one is obvious... the poison atack kills you in a mater of seconds ... and if it is in your mind (as it usually is) there is nothing you can do about it.

4. Dizzy + kd... it was nerfed... now is not so bad... but still it should never make a player stay in the ground for more than a couple of seconds...

5. Atacks that are to powerfull as last ditch, head shtoot or strafe2 are just spam non stop..... /type F12 /type F12 /type F12 /type F12 etc etc etc... whats the funn on that?

PvP is not a matter of skills and know how to use them.... is about having a fancy armor and beeing rifleman.... You only have to check the population of rifleman to see something is wrong.... So what? we all have to go rifleman and be rich now (to afort a fancy armor)to be abvle to compit in pvp?

Other topic Quests.... The only thing funn in doing quest is the reward you may get..... the quest by itself is so SO boring.... is always the same thing over and over... kill something or deliver something (or pick up but that is the same thing at the end)...

Faction missions are the most borign and easy thing ever... they are not chalenge at all... you can solo a misson with out any worries... and is so monotonous.... there should be fation msns similar to explorer msns.... like... "kill 50 troopers" or "kill 10 overt playres" or even beter "go to a faction poi and pick up something or what ever" ... i dont know... there are tons of posibilities... but going kill some weak npc go back take another msns kill them again.. go back... kill them again... go back.... kill.... ... .... .... ... is so tedious....
