Droid speeds are working.

There hasn't been a Jedi on the terminals on Chilastra all day, so no idea if they are working or not.

It's time for you to remove BH player missions. It's abundantly obvious that you have not thought them through at all. Clone camping and exploiting to keep your mission is rampant on the live servers. There are literally hundreds of griefer BHs using the 3 incaps and you're dead bug and having groupmates deathblow to keep their mission and grief Jedi. Jedi are losing entire skill trees, not just one box or one branch, but entire trees because of this stupidity. Until you've ironed out the bugs in INTERNAL TESTING and TEST CENTER (this requires actually having people test it) this should be removed from live and the BHs using these exploits (along with everyone in their group) should be banned for such blatant harassment. You have a chance to fix your mistake, please do so before you start losing the subscriptions of your legitimate players. The question I put to you is this: Are the subscriptions of exploiters more important to you, or are the subscriptions of players who play by the rules more important to you? The way you answer this question will be reflected in the action you take over the next few days.

well said simian

I am a BH & will abide by the rules - I hope others on my server will too

a possible solution for the jedi clone camping could be, to include a timer after first strike.
if the BH takes the first strike the timer starts ticking like umm 5 minutes or could be also more.
so if the target doesnt die by the BH hands within the given time the mission fails.

also there could be a reward for the jedi if he kills the BH as stated lots of times. for example
he stays off the BH terminals for 48 hours. that maybe would cause jedi facing BHs instead of running away.

i think not letting BH group is a bad idea cause they wont have a chance against a jedi with high skills. at least im hoping so

stop flaming

Macroing Jedis inside houses should be considered exploit...

A simple fix? Do not let anyone get combat related xp inside houses...

Wow, your post adds absolutely no helpful material to the topic of this thread. Congratulations on wasting our time. Just so be clear,your half-baked accusation that I bought my Jedi account is completely false. My wife & I have played the game from the beginning. A few weeks after launch, we each got a second account. So, I have hadfour accounts since launch - you do the math. If you were trying to make a commentary on players selling accounts online - I agree with your sentiments. BTW, I am not complaining about the money I have spent onthe game. I mentioned the moneyto remind the Devs that the players are funding this operation and if it is not fun to play the game the money leaves withthe players. Now, let's stay on topic and give TH some strong feedback so we may make SWG better.

Is this thread about droids and if they are tracking or jedi?

I want to know if the offline issue has been fixxed.

And to all the jedi out there: You were told how the character would be played. You were given months of lvling time w/o bh being able to hunt you. If you don't like the system play your main char or jedi knight.

What part of system didn't you understand befor you started your jedi? If anything it has been made easier for you. If I had a vote in it I would want it back to perma death.

Droid trackings is one of the issues. Others are the side effects of the missions, potential greifings and loopholes within the system.

Jedi do understand that it is part of the profession...that's not the issue. And even then, a jedi running and hiding is the most opportune for our profession to do, there's no point for us to fight back and we should pretty much run. There's no content for you or us if that happens. The system is flawed from the start, and needs to be reworked so it works fairly and is actually fun.

Ok probably allready stated 20 times but hey i'll thorw my dime in..

did you guys ever listen to what we said about BH Greifers grefing jedi players to jedi initiate?? did you just ignore our pleas about what needed to be guarded against??

apparently not.. here is one screenshot for ya:

http://www.imagedump.com/index.cgi?pick=get&tp=51201

i'd hate to see if 1/4 of that group had gone off to all the clone centers and find out where that jedi cloned.. and then tell the others so they can clone camp him .. no not deathblowing him but just incap 3x to force DECAYING death and SKILL LOSS..

you may be thinking ... naww .. no one would do this... WRONG! there have been many threads from grefing bh's in the jedi/bounty huntner forum outlining how to do this and encouraging others to do the same to "keep the jedi population down"

This is grefing at it's finest. plain and simple. and no word from anyone officially is given.. all these grefiers are taking such as an endorsement on their actions.

PUT A STOP TO THE CLONE CAMPING JEDI GREIFING NOW!

alot of these ppl are only taking invest 3 for the jedi tracking .. they can use rest of points to go pistoleer .. rifleman carbineer.. ect.. wich can be much more effective agains a jedi (a class wiht 0 defences vs range and status changes .. dizzy .. knockdown ect..)

Maek jedi pc missions MASTER BH ONLY. or make it so they must be atleast 4/x/x/4

this will ATLEAST cut down on the # of grefing jedi greifers somewhat. moving it to master will also help.

(offtopic)

Sorry Vrax, but im getting sick and tired of those kiddos who "buy" theyre way into the being of a cool jedi and then complain that they are getting hunted.....

Getting a bit frustrated here.... it seems like the BH's are the underdog....

Anyway, sorry if i offended you.

/bow

I just wanna have fun when i get home from work

I'm waiting to hear a response on this issue from the dev's

In the meantime I encourage all jedi to "go on strike".

Suffering 5 boxes or more of skill loss to these people is not right nor can I believe it was the intent of the dev's.

But we need official word at this point.

That image sickens me, I wont lie, if that had been me, I would have quit the game right there no questions asked.
