Given recent changes to Jedi, as a one time event:


  • Jedi Visibility has been reset to zero.
  • Jedi players with experience below (-1 Million) has been raised to (-1 Million)


Hmm still on the terms, this patch didn´t work either. Can you please stop trying to fix us, you are only making it worse.


I was looking forward to have some time without having bounty hunters after me the whole time, but after a quick check on the terms i was still there.

Ummm this has nothing to do with 10.4


When the devs do get around to Smugglers will you insist they do not devote much time to the smuggler ravamp since there are 31 other professions or will you hope that since it is time for the smuggler revamp, they devote most of their time to it.


If I recall, they devoted a lot of time to Chefs without doing anything for Jedi

If I recall, they devoted a lot of time to Image Designers without doing anything for Jedi

If I recall, they devoted a lot of time to Creature Handlers without doing anything for Jedi.


I hope they devote a lot of time to Smugglers without doing anyting for the other professions

I hope they devote a lot of time to the Combat Revamp without doing a lot for other areas

I can un derstand your point here, and it makes perfect sense, but (yes there's a but) i'm talking about an issue that was introduced in patch 10 and impacting smugglers. This issue was reported on TC, we were then told it would never hit live, than, guess what? it went live (nbnot that big a surprise isn't it?). then we were told it would be fix in a mini publish, that's the fourth publish we have, and still no news. Last time asomeone talked about crate autpulling that was "nobody has been assigned to it".


I don't ask for the smuggler revamp to happen now, i know it may happen, hopefully in 2017 (around mid september), but i'm asking for some visibility about this slicing issue. Is that so hard to understand?


Each publish brings its part of new bugs in the smuggler profession, bugs that are reported while testing, bugs that acknolodged by the devs, but bugs that go live. The fact you hear me "whine" is just to express an issue about a publish 10 bug.



so if you want it the way Tiggs asks that would be :


All smugglers characters


All servers, anyplace


Repeatable


Can't autopull WUK, AUK, PLK, and MC (Weapon upgrade kit, Armor upgrade kit, precision laser knife, molecular clamp).



Don't mix the fact that smugglers were promised a revamp on August 2003 because they were estimated to be the more in need of love and the fact there are bugs that are new, due to this. Don't make me say that the smuggler revamp, delayed everymonth, is what i want to fix this particular bug.

Actually, I've had this issue for a long time now (estimate: 4 months). Only my orange dots are to the North East...

But: This issue is related to my local instalation, it is not a bug that can be fixed via bothering the devs. :-P When using my computer, I have this issue, and have to use either rote memorazation or the drop-down list to travel. When I use my brothers computer, however, this issue doesn't exist, and I can use the travel terminals normally. (and my computer is technically better than his). I am theorizing that a re-installation of SWG will fix it, but I have not gotten around to it in 4 months...

hehe, problem is I left it too long and now it doesn't bother me enough to fix it. :-)

Now, If you would like to provide us with a post about an issue related to Publish 10.4, please follow these guidelines:


  1. What is your ingame character name?
  2. What Galaxy did you experience this issue on?
  3. What Planet were you on when this happened?
  4. What location (coordinates) were you at when you experienced this issue?

  4. My friend logged on in Keren, but he got BH ganked near Barataria(SW section of the global map). Don't have the exact coordinates of where he died at.

  5. Problem that he experience is that he wasn't on the Bounty Hunter Terminal for two weeks straight before this incident. After the recent Update (10/01/04), his name mysteriously came on the Bounty Hunter Terminal. He hasn't been on since last week and he wasn't even on the Bounty Hunter Terminal since then. A Bounty Hunter friend said his name appeared the day of theupdate, but it didnt appear the days before that. He hasn't been on because of Real life matters and his academic studies.

  6. He said he came on at around 6 his time, hawaii time. After that,he sat on the chair near the Spaceport terminal for 20 mintueswith no lightsaber in his hand, his robe in his bank bin, a medic title above his head. Later after that, he took a trip to Barataria where he got Fambaa missions for money. Nobody was around him at the time.He told me he hopped onhis Swoop, traveling to his first waypoint. First 5 minutes after he started killing fambaa by himself without buffs, 2 blue dots came on radarand attacked him. Pretty much after that, hedied in his attempt to escape them. 5 Mintues after he died, they left. He used his hero ring to revive himself.After that, he went to his house, logged off and called me up on his cell phone grumbling to me how much of a rip this game is to him. He feels cheated because of the recent updates.

what if you equip your saber while out of view of players or npcs but then leave it equiped when you go back into range of player's npcs or cities? is just the fact that a saber is in your hand raise visibility?

If a bounty hunter attacks you and fails in his mission and you deathblow the bounty hunter will that also wipe clean your visibility? otherwise what is to keep the bounty hunter from running and getting another mission on you?

thank you.

To the people complaining their jedis were killed.. are you sure the BH took that mission today?

I'm a BH, and sometimes I keep my mission more than one day. Yesterday I took a mission on one jedi, and today the mission was still in my datapad, even when the jedi couldn't be found on the terminals anymore. Maybe that's what happened to you, too.


Anyways, the terminals today were almost empty, save for 2 or 3 jedis, so I think the visibility "reset" worked fine.

WellI have been bothered a lot by this BH terminal issues, and died 2 times wich wouldn't be needed if it was fixed in one go....


BUT i'm offf the terminals now, and other friends reported they weren't either, and that IS a changecompared toall previous try's to fix this. I personally think Jedi could still be a bit more powerfull, and have some issues that need looking into... Though this fix will be of pure gold to BH/Jedi relations, or it should be. It's very possible to grind back what you lost now, certainly when you at least try to avoid vissibility, knowing it WORKS now.


I was sceptic about the post last week from Tiggs saying they knew and were looking at it... Wel for the first time since long I have some good hope that other Jedi things will turn out OK, and that there's effort being done to keep the game playable and fun for all. It sounds a bit slimey even whenI type and read it, I know.. but there's been so much (justified) negativism in the forums on SWG lately, that I feel we must recognize the fact when things are turning out OK, and being changed so they work. So for my part a good job delivered Tiggs, and may all be as good "looked into.." from now


There'll always be a call for more power from every proff, and there'll always be different thoughts on what exactly is "balancing" and what is "nerfing"... as long as the game mechanics work as they should, and we feel being listened to, we can have those discusions in a more serene and constructive debate.


P.S.: I can't speak for eveyone and won't say that nothing ever can be bugged again for anyone, conserning BH terminal appearance.. but on my server (chimaera) there's a general feeling it's fixed

To BossMonkey.


I feel for your painand your situation. For all you know, your name was probably on the Bounty Hunter Terminal and it wasn't on there before 10/01/04 updates. Like my guardian friend told me, jedi visability is so bad rightnow, your name will always be on the Bounty Hunter Terminal and it's just for taking a stroll through theeds. It won't matter if your saber is in your hand or not. Your name is on the list the minute you step into town.


I hope you get your xp back man.

  1. What is your ingame character name? D'aRk
  2. What Galaxy did you experience this issue on? Tarquinas
  3. What Planet were you on when this happened?Endor
  4. What location (coordinates) were you at when you experienced this issue? 7K east of smugglers
  5. Please list a full description of the problem you experienced (Full details needed here folks!) (Today, approx 2 hrs ago) Somehow ended up on the terms doing nothing to generate vis (I know the rules). Was grouped with one other same faction Jedi killing spiders. Bounty Hunter aka (Master Fencer) shows up with a friend, kills me, his mission is incomplete. He doesn't get his payout, I clone and lose the 200K cloning xp, but not the ### xp for the BH deathblow (and yes, the BH did the DB). Now, he still has my mission, I'm still on the terms, and now I either sit and spin for 3 weeks or get ganked again for even MORE xp loss. I would rather have lost 400K+ xp and been off the terms like it's SUPPOSED to work. BTW, the BH was very honorable and didn't kill me a second time when I showed up at the starport to go home. He easily could have. I tippedthe BHthe 115K payout he lost and thanked him...

Click on the galaxy map and then on the planet you are on and the dots will be back where the citys are.
Also if you click on the dot for the city you will see the dropdown update to that city so you can chk without having to actually use the dropdown menu. And yes this has been an issue for a while now.

Concern: Visibility.


I wonder if you gain enough visibility to be put on the terminals by being in a solo groupif your breiflyseen with a LS equiped?


I was DB by a BH, I am no longer on the terminals, great news. However, after I was DB I decided to heed visibility flags. I join a solo group and went off planet, Dath, rancor valley. I had sure I had another weapon equiped when around NPC's and players alike, now it was possible I drove by some NS's on my bike with my LS equiped, shrug who knows. Nonetheless, even with my careful percaution I was back on the BH menu (terminals). Now is it possible from driving by NS's with my LS equiped gain me enough visibility from zero to the terminals?

Now I don't mind the corrected system Pub 10.4, actually DEV's, are heading in the right direction, but...xp lost is still little too high. I had to sneak that one in there I don't know if this is a bug or intended (one quick viewing of NPC seeing your LS equip while driving by in a solo group is enough to put on the Bh menu), bytheway, I am FOTM on the BH's menu, tasty i am
