Thread: Live Issues Publish 9: Secrets of the Force PT II
as is after publish 9:
- after publish9 there are tons of jedi around. at all starports one can see them in their
robes wielding lightsabers.
exampe given:
In Theed 2 jedi even fought 30 meters besides the imperial branch. Sorry, but this is wrong.
We are in a timeline were jedi are hunted down. Jedi have to hide. They may not use their
powers and reveal themselfes as jedi in public (even see them running around in robes and
wielding a light saber does offend a lot of people).
As devoted Star Wars fan I have to say that this destroys my and other peoples fun and
above all the Star Wars Feeling.
nothing. It does not fit into Star Wars at this point.
Our passion for the game comes from the passion for the movies. It sad to see that with
every update you move further away from the movies.
- Nightsisters, Elders
- Genosian Bunker
- Death Watch Bunker
- Tusken Fort
- Krayt Graveyard
Now thats great having like 20 Jedi sitting in the Geno Bunker and killing everything.
How will a normal class be competitive to the jedi? Everyone has to become jedi to be able to keep up.
- Don't allow jedi to wear robes and sabers in cities (at least not in big or Empire
controlled cities) - Peple hate to see 10+ jedi at star ports
- Have unbeatable Commando Troopers or maybe even Vader himself spawn when a jedis offends
against this points (wearing a jedi robe and saber in big cities)
These troopers may teleport off the scene to prevent having xxx troopers standing around.
- make a filter, a "whole character filter" so one can enter the jedi name and does not have
to see or read/hear something from that char. may give problems if one fights an enemy were
also a filterred-out jedi fights but thats a smal issue.
- make a role-play-only server and allow people to move with items and cash (except jedi).
This may cost a fee (like moving everquest accounts)
- reintroduce the TEF. Every jedi running in big cities wielding a saber +wearing a robe
will get a TEF. Using force powers will give them a TEF.
It does not work to rely on people behave mature. You have to force them to not ruin the fun
of the majority.
For my part I have canceled my account. So did 2 of my friends. You will loose a lot more
customers because they want to play Star Wars online not KOTOR (Knights of the oldRepublic) online.
Add-on 2 "a gate to the past". The jedi council discovered an ancient gate to the past. Now jedi have the possibility to jump back to the old republic and fight great wars. --> Welcome to EQ plane of time for all the jedi
kind regards

Issue: Items in house jumped from approximately 130 to 215
Server: Starsider
Planet: Corellia
Location (x,y): -1715, -550 in Alya'Starn
Your profession: Master CH/BE and Ranger Tracking III
Instructions on how to recreate the bug:
Last night I had room in my house. Today, possible as a result of the mini-publish, my house suddently thinks is has more items than it should inside. Note this is a small house, so it should not allow more than 150.
At a guess, the five or six crates of items I have inside are adding their contents to the total count. I pulled one crate up but the total was only reduced by one.
As this is both my shop and my BE lab, this is very problematic since I cannot drop things, split resource containers, or store DNA samples.
It does this all the damn time, for no reason at all. Several times in the past six months I have gone to my house, tried to drop something inside, and had it say the house was full when I know it wasn't fullthe day beforeand I hadn't put anything in since then. The terminal says the house isanywhere from 10 to 50+items over the limit and it's a huge pain in the ass to get it back to 150.

"We’re looking at the TEF’s portion of this issue and expect Combat Medics to be changed soon.I’ll post the proposed changes In Development as soon as I have the information." TH
It is extremly humiliating, that members of all proffessions were told "to learn better tactics" for months, whenever they pointed their fingers at the utterly messed up way, how Combat Medics are implemented in PVPbut it only needs some days ofcomparably overpowered high ranking Jedis to complain about the same subject to make DEVs happily jump and fix it...
And it is most annoying, that this incompetent bunch of DEVs flooded the SWG-Universe with Jedis that are so powerfull, that they keep openly ganking all professions instead of go into hiding.
Oh, did I say all prefessions? No, of course not all. But SOE thrills me once again, I am now enlightened, that Boba Fett must have been TK-Bruce Lee in a plasticarmor dress, who fought lightsabers, that cut through every armor, with his bare hands.
But certainly TH will explain next, that they changed the Time Frame of SWG a little bit to a till now not so well known time, where Bounty Hunters and Stormtroopers were extincted by Jedis....
It was about the same time, whenmany ranged professions asked themselfs what they are supposed to do, becausetheirmany of their skills where useless and broken and even if they wereworking the way they should, there wasn´t much to do except to killthe same creatures over and over again or get killed themselves by SuperBattleDroids andcdef PistolusingEngineers in Spaceships with 130K HAM.
P.S.: TH, are you sure you meant "expect" and not "except"....?
- Increase XP earned per kill.
- Decrease XP needed for ranks.
- Create another way to earn FRS XP.
Most of the time while people raid a city 1 or 2 goes overt therest gets a tef and currently we get -1 XP for DB'ing a teffed person.
I play 14hours a day and i barely see any overts running around let alone ranked light jedi, i get maybe 500 xp in those 14hours.
I even have to ask friends or randomto duel me so i can DB them for XP.
Thunderheart can you go into chat with the developer of this system and ask if he has any ideas to solve this?

There are far too little overts or light jedi to kill for experience.

Hey, I know how about a system that doesn't involve high ranking Jedi using the rest of the player base as fodder. Would be nice for other people to play as well. 14 hours a day? sheesh.

I want the jedi TEF to be reinstated. I feel that the overall health of the game is more important than that we jedi can duel in cities and generally show off without much danger at all.
how are the jedi knights that are ranked supposed to earn FRS xp.. they have to kill overts to ge tthis xp in the current system...
its forced PVP.. with a TEF they will never be able to frind XP if everyone in starports can attack them at will..
a ranked jedi knight has to run from a CM now cause they nerfed the jedis force cures...

Personal Shield Generators: There are reports on the forums about being resistant to lightsabers.This is incorrect.If you find information to the contrary, please post it.
Below is a link to a screenshot I took about 20 mins ago just after crafting a Mark III PSG, with LS resist evident.

So, incorrect or not, PSG's do seem to have LS resists. Hope this was the sort of evidence you were after...
