I agree with the former poster on the jedi tef, bring it back in certain places, having 3 jedi fight in a Imperial outpost, in coronet and theed wrecks continuity more than it already has. Reinstate the tef on Correlia, Naboo and few of the more civilised planets, and keep it out on planets like Tatooine, Dathomir, Endor, and Dantooine. Have some Hardcore stormtroopers spawn, the unkillable kind that will kill the jedi on sight if force powers, saber and robes are used in imperial territory

I think the weapon Delay and Armor Delay is a great thing, Since when is everyone Super man changing there clothes in the blink of an eye lol or Doc holiday switching weapons in less then a second

I think you all need to lighten up on the delays. This is a great addition to the GCW and kils alot of your dot weapons no more stacking of dots from different weapons in under 2 seconds

GREAT JOB DEVS KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK,,,

NOW REWARD THE PLAYERS THAT HAVE UNLOCKED SINCE PUBLISH 9......

The whole issue reminds me of the time when the CH's were nerfed.

"You Can't win Devs. If you strike me (CH)down I will become more powerful than you can possibly imagine." Though I don't necessarly agree that we have become all that powerful I have noticed that my current armored pets do ok in PVE again.

Oh and armor switching not a problem for me. I seldom wear armor. Running keeps me alive longer than armor does. The weaon switch is a nusance and I will do my best to get used to it. My pet(s) however do the most damage so I may not be affected much but it sure is a stupid idea. As a MBH on TC-2 the weapon switch delay was *VERY* annoying. Also if I hit the hot key more than once there was a very very long delay before I could do anything. As to Jedi I really havent seen any standing around or fighting or showing off in Theed or Coronet. I am on Kettemoor server. Maybe we don't have that many to start with.

DEVs would it be possible to have a couple servers without Jedi? I for one would like to do a character transfer. I don't want to give up this game as I have always had a passion for the Star Wars universe, but the latest patch is pushing me out the door more than anything else.


My combat toon is a master swordsman/master rifleman. I went to the tusken fort. There were 3 jedi there. everytime I would start attacking a lord or captain one of the jedi would come by and take the kill. I told them I didnt need any help. One ends up following me and killing everything I try to attack. I know most Jedi arent like that, but there is no balance. I want to keep my configuration and not be forced to take up Jedi skills just to be able to compete in the dungeons. So I ask please do the following


1. Add TEFs back for using light sabers, force power, wearing robes, or displaying their tags.

2. Set aside two servers for people who want to play in the Episode 4 timeline and not see jedi every where

3. balance out jedi and master level combatants. The highest level jedi should = themaster level ranged or melee profession. I know Jedi are suppose to have far superior skills in combat than most, but for the sake of balance and to prevent everyone from needing to become a Jedi please change it.

4. Who is the jedi hunter? BH or TKA? well make both have force resistance powers and have the abiltiy to whoop some jedi butt. You really jacked up the BHs by postponing the scout change. I know so many people who were looking forward to it.

5. Lastly and more importanty communicate with us. You started to do well back at the beginning of the year, but have done a piss poor job the last couple months. The weapon change timer came as a surprise to most.


Lastly fix the vendors. You havent done anything good for the crafters and the merchants in a long time. I dont regard the DE changes as anything, but a waste of development time. The jedi changes as a waste of time.


Well back to drinking beer and enjoying the long weekend.

Issue: Combat Queue effecting speed of healing, states, damage, poison, and disease.


Server: Kettemoor


Planet: Tatooine and Dantooine


Location (x,y) Near mining outpost on Datooine, and inside skrill cave on Tatooine.


Your Profession: Novice Swordsman, Master Doctor, Novice Scout


Instructions for recreating this bug: While in combat, peace then try to heal self or other takes three to five seconds for healto take effect. Before the Publish I could heal very quickly during combat thus keeping my group alive. I have been unable to heal effectively, by the time the heal comes into the combat queue it is too late to save someone or myself. I have had to stand there and wait for the heal to take effect while one of my group members is incaped or deathblowed.


Ido not know if this was intended by adding heal effects to the combat queue but it has seriously effected gameplay. I have read though most of these boards and most mention the ability to switch weapons and armor effected by the changes. I wonder if any medic, doc or combat medics have noticed these changes. I have not experimented with havela or see if it has any effect on the delay or not. But a master doc with maxed speed for heal shouldhavethe ablityto keep a fellow player from getting incaped standing right beside them with out desperatly hitting heal damage hoping it will work in time. Coupled with lag this could become a serious issue for combat/medics and doctors. I don't know where this is a bug or an unattended result of the new delay being implimented but please take a look at this issue for all of the medical professions.

We're seperating this from the weekly roundtable discussion so we can give each topic a little more focus. The last Live Issues thread can be found here.


It would be very helpful to include in your post:



Issue: LOOSING ITEMS FROM MY INVENTORY

Server: AHAZI

Planet: DON'T KNOW, AS I CAN'T GET OFF TATOOINE WITH MY INVENTORY INTACT TO TELL YOU!


Location (x,y): EVERYWHERE!!!!!



Your profession: TWO DIFFERENT ACCOUNTS: 1st; TK/DOC, 2nd; Master Artisan/Various other.



Instructionson how to recreate the bug: Equip armor, get on speederbike-travel-when arrive at destination-naked(except for boxers). OR: Pick up harvestors from house, go to starport-travel to Coronet-NO HARVESTORS!



Thanks NO, IT IS NOT COOL!!!!! IT IS GAME BREAKING!!!!!!!!!!!



6:30 :: Problem with






Any items placed on the bazaar between Tuesday’s Publish and Friday morning can never be automatically fixed. They will have to be un-listed and then re-listed by the auction owner.





6-29 :: Some Live Update Updates from today:




Veteran Reward: Nobody received the Veteran Reward Picture that was to have been granted to characters who were more than 30 days old. These will be granted tomorrow (Wednesday). We apologize for the slight delay.



2) Vehicles/ Droids accessible from Toolbar: This was an erroneous message that should not have been in the update notes just yet. This has been removed for the time being, but it will be available in publish 10 or sooner.



3) Badges: Clarification: There is no separate tab on the Character Sheet. Character badges are now located on the "personal" tab of the character sheet in the middle box instead of the examine window.



4) Weapon Switching/Combat Cue: Update notes mention that switching weapons during combat goes through the combat command queue. This is not currently visible. We are investigating this now.



5) Junk Dealers and Loot Kits: Players can get the kits by visiting Junk Dealers that are located in Combat Guild Halls and request a “loot kit". Players can gain the loot kits by conversing with the Junk Dealer and selecting, "What sort of items do you have that you are looking to get rid of?" Once players decide which loot kit they would like, they may begin collecting the parts. Not all junk dealers are offering Loot Kits.



6) 0/0 Items: Items with condition 0 have red box around them, some are still usable with the condition 0. We are investigating this now.



7) Vendor/ Bazaar Resources Display: The name fields for resources on the bazaar no longer include the amount of the resource or the name. We are working on a fix and it will most likely be in a Thursday’s hotfix.



8) Personal Shield Generators: There are reports on the forums about inconsistencies. If you have information on how to reproduce this problem, please post it here in this thread.


Jedi - Multiple Death and XP: There are reports of confusion with Jedi experience loss on multiple deaths. If you have information on how to reproduce this problem, please post it here in this thread.


Twin Force CrystalsInformation: There was some confusion on Twin Force Crystals. Twin Force Crystalsare converted to power crystals, not color crystals. This is working as intended. Also, a Jedi must have the Initiate box before able to tune crystals.

The continous loss of items from my inventory and even of my PC's body is game breaking for me...I refuse to put up with this kind of bug at all. Fix this or lose another long time paying customer!

I do NOT like the armor delay! I don't PvP -- I PvE. I always put my armor on well before I need it. Yet because of the folks who take advantage of instant armor changes, I'm now stuck with the 35 second delay to put on my entire set of Ubese.

Nice decision, Sony. Good move.

Okay - to all you people who didn't unlock before nerf 9.0 - I agree - SoE's method of change SUCKS. It's really uncool to have 2-5 month moratorum on jedi unlocks. And making 2nd character a moron to those who unlock later is a slap in the face.


For you that think Jedi's rule now.

1. Take a look at auction sites. The number of jedi accounts listed is on the rise.

2. Spoke with a jedi on my server - 4 of the oldest jedi are quiting the game. (My friends list normally has 8-10 jedi online, that number has been 4-5 for last 2 days.)

3. Jedi who doesn't have fencer/tkm stacking is lame and an easy kill for a true PvP template. (at least this is what my jedi friend says... this jedi held #1 rank in pvp on TC2.)

4.all the people who worked so hard to get to guardian can screw their character up massively on the re-creation screen. (This seems to be the reason many long term jedi are quitting.)

5. novice jedi who unlocked and didn't get much jedi xp are going to take 2-3 weeks of grinding to get to first '4' box. If a BH finds them - they aren't going to use jedi skills to defend themselves or they will be dead meat.

Would you care to test out a 400 year old sword to see if it's decayed to condition 0? All the prior testers have no comment. Perhaps a gun which was used in WW I and still fires with high accuracy upto 1km?

If that doesn't get you, then start reading current military specifications for combat equipment.

Heya TH, what ever happened to our description of the skills for Jedi on Monday? BEFORE the publish?? BEFORE WE ALL ALLOCATED OUR SKILLS WITHOUT KNOWING WHAT THEY EACH DID!! WHY HAVENT YOU CAME UP WITH A LIST STILL!?!? WHY CANT I RE-ROLL MY FS SKILLS, SINCE YOU DIDNT POST THE LIST OF SKILLS AS YOU SAID YOU WOULD?!? WHY DID JUST G POST THAT WE WERENT GOING TO BE ABLE TO REROLL THESE SKILLS EVEN THOUGH YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO POST THE DESCRIPTIONS THE DAY BEFORE THE PUBLISH WENT LIVE??? WHY DID THE PUBLISH GO OUT PRIOR TO YOU POSTING THIS LIST???? JEDI GOT THE SHAFT, AND WE CAN ALL THANK YOU TH.

/applaud TH!! you deserve it, the vision quest was top notch, great job TH. BRAVO.


=P







The Skills Were Listed in the "Skills" menu, is it really their(TH &His Team)fault that you didnt take the time to Look & Read? Did you expect them to hold every ones hand while we re-arranged our skills.

You should have chosen nothing if you couldn't figureit out & complain before you picked, but as you've allready stated in your Post, you're not very bright.



I recieved many tells the morning of & the most common problem is that people weren't pushing the "ALL PROFESSIONS" tab in the Skills Menu, Which took My friend and I about 30 seconds.


Really, Why dont you say what's on your mind & that you wish you'd chosen Persuasion instead of VehicalControl, because if you can BurstRun faster than a Swoop, whats the point.


Never mind the whole issue as to how noobs getJedi to begin with. Oh, nevermind, they just did all the professions and never learned a thing.

WORD TO ALL YOU JEDIS COMPLAINING ABOUT ROBES AND CRAP
Think of the rest of us.........helpless mofo's.. YOUR PREY!

Theres tons of us who worked just as hard and got shafted from being jedi and having the opportunity to play with one.

I hate this stupid new set up.
Were all small fish in a big sea now, filled with sharks (BULLIES) called jedi.

Cant even do imp missions anymore with my girlfriend without getting wacked...looosing 10k in buffs, 24k for a bike they knock you off of. and 1.5 hours to go get healed, fix yoru mind...line up 15 min for new buffs, and line up 20 min for stupid shuttles.


1) well why dont you wait till your tef runs out... shouldn;t have too. we wait for everything else.. now we gotta be affraid to do anything.. and i dont see any overts anymore in the past 4 days.


2) Why dont you contract a BH.. **edit** they gonna do.. nothing.. they cant.. they need 12 to 14 tka guys maybe to get him once..


SO we all gotta travel in packs? Cant go overt and fight reg enemies, cause theres a jedi at every turn. NO CHANCE..

NONE...

Im master commando and couldnt even get "one" shot off b4 he got me, my GF and our bikes!


I pay the same as everyone else each month. and worked my but off everyday when I have time.(no jedi slot here). only to be bullied all day long now and run around whith my tail between my legs.

Last night got killed twice by same guy who uses force run 3 to catch up on ya.. kills 2 of my bikes, my GF's bike, got pissed then logged off.

Log on this morning. go get healled and buffed again, go back to do missions, and bang 10 min later i'm dead from another jedi. and another bike gone.
