Day 1... many many people defending easy as pie to live thugs out gunned 3-4 to 1


lastnight.. 20 or so in village... everyone died we had 3 or 4 doc's trying to revive, after the 6th revive and with 3 thugs chasing and others hitting me with ranged weapons.. i died


... and the attacks will continue for the whole phase...


so if i had not finished this quest the first day, i would have little hope of doing so now


this is what i would call gump level 9/10 coding... they take no account of the numbers inside the village area and spawn a fixed number...







Their job isn't to make it fair for everyone that chooses to do the mission. They are suppose to make it realistic. The sith aren't going to scale back their attack all the time, just to the point where they can be taken out all the time. That doesn't make sense.

Quick point here. I went to the village to convert tonight and decided to try and help out while I was there. I died. No biggie. What ticked me off about dying is that the ranged people dont seem to understand is that melee people have better MELEE defense and letting a melee person take the agro and tank means that ranged should STOP shooting long enough for the NPC to switch to melee and stick with it. Then a Rifleman can resume firing and get his credit for the kill. I died cause the guy I was trying to help would just not stop firing long enough for me to get the danged Thug to switch from his T-21 ROFL. And to make things worse 2 more thugs with Rifles joined him and down I went. I was however happy to see the same bloke load into the cloner not long after me and had a good chuckle at his exspense

Now as for a reward....well I would have liked SOMETHING for a reward...even if it was only a badge or something:

Has shown great courage in defending a village....

Or something like that.

I mean come on they gave me a badge for tapping a Spider on my way through Theed on Haloween for petes sake

are you from kauri by any chance? the same exact thing happened to us last nite. When we had a 20 person group we were fine, once people were leaving we were screwed big time, doctors were doing their best to rez but we were overwelmed



Oh yeah, and lets not 4get that the lag was preventing me from healing as much as I shouldve been able to.

I went to the village last night to trade in some XP. There were no other players in the village and it was packed with sith. I managed to fly in, trade in combat xp before getting attacked. I just got on my swoop. left the area, and came back a few moments later and traded in my pistol xp before getting attacked. Repeated the process till I was done. Not hard to do, just glad I was buffed.

Do you mean a hard time doing the quest? No you should be fine as commando. Pick up a pistol and target the thugs and pirates shoot them once and move on.

I for one think this is the most fun I have had in game in a long time. I have been running around rezzing people getting rezzed, actually running from an enemy because I would die if I didnt. Set the number of spawns to amount of people in the village? That is not a good idea at all. First off, they should spend time in other areas of the game that actually dont work. Second of all, the sith are ATTACKING the village, they dont care how many defenders there are, they want everyone dead. I am a doc/swordsman and logged out sunday night inside the village. Logged in monday morning and was the only player there,outnumered 100 to 1 I burst ran out of there and buffed up, then went back in for some fun. I love this phase of the village, DONT CHANGE A THING. I can solo anything in the game, ANYTHING. But even I have gotten killed in the village, it is a great twist to all of a sudden have to worry about dieing, and to actually have to use stim packs, I had forgoten whay they were.

Did they just jack up the spawn rate on Dathomir? I've seen groups of like 50+ reptilian flyers several times now...

It's not meant to be easy - if you don't want to teamup with other players (which I have been doing tonight and having a lot of fun clearing the village, then wait until it is easier for you.


As for SOE coder skills, nothing in what you say has any reflection on their skills - their coding is fine, you just don't like the way the code is being used

Well i must say that this one is going to be tough indeed, i need melee defense and i know it aint gonna be easy. To say this im not to certain on how this is completed, do you just kill a certain amount?, or?.

Anyhow i wanna help people out with this one as its gona be needed i think, this is my last branch and i cant afford to miss it. Never the less i would like to take this oppertunity to thank all the people who have helped, much thx.

Keep the info flowing as people always need a little guidence, well i guess il wait for help and hope to complete this phase. Good to you all out there and keep yours heads up!
