So, just out of curiousity, do you think if enough of us got together we could takeover the SOE HQ and give the code to a company who knows that the customers are the lifeblood of a game?






how do you plan to take over soe's hq?im sure all the employees are armed to the teeth because they're scared of disgruntled SW-G players.........

Or you know you guys could... go out and group and recieve from 4 to 8k per kill.


Of course nobody thought of that - because if it isnt like it was pre-CU, its obviously broken

LOL, I hope your kidding.



At the rate this is at, it would take someone more than a year to grind 6 fs trees. 32 profs is so much simpler it aint even funny.

Casual players get the shaft with this CU, it will be near impossible to get to Jedi at all. If you throw some sarcasm in, then this is SOE's way of making Jedi rare, simply by excluding anyone that isn't Jedi yet.


But instead of chaning the current system, how about all existing Jedi have to give up the XP they earned pre-cu based on the current XP rate. As I see it everyone shoudl be thrown back to about 1/8th of the current level. Might even go as far as being thrown back into the FS grind. Hell that would be a great way to keep Jedi really rare...

I knew it was going to be really hard to get combat FS xp after the CU, so I grinded like crazy to get 3 full trees of combat. My other 3 trees are senses experience. I'm currently a TKM/Dancer. So, now I just have to do a lot of dancing to get my other 3 trees full. It's not as hard as the combat. But, the experience has slowed down because you can only have 8 max in a group now. And, there is virtually no healing experience. So, basically, I now am going to have to dance twice as long. And, since I don't afk...we're talking about months and months of dancing. lol

You can craft music instruments for music exp and get sense exp that way.


To grind exp in this new system get in a 6-8 man group and go do piket and bol missions on dantooine. They are easy and you got 20-30 per layer. These are all level 80s and the exp is just crazy. If you try this solo, it is impossible.

Pooh pooh,


I've ground out 184 professions. Unfortunately, I never gave a crap about Padawan before they changed it to the new system.


I believe the FS trees I ground for Crafting Mastery are the equivalent of making Master Chef 49.7 times. The old way was a snap if you cared to do it.

No sir, you have no idea. I completed 27 professions prior to them changing the path to this long ass series of quests (1 of those professions was BH back when the missions were so fubar it wasn't funny). I quit for a few months due to school and the fact that I was burnt out and came back to find my character gone, deleted or something. I contacted the CSRs and they sent me to tech support. Tech support sent me back to the CSRs and so it went for 2 weeks until I finally got someone to tell me that they can't restore characters that have been gone for more than 2 weeks. So after losing my first character that would have had 6 free unlocks, I started the whole thing again on my second account. I went through the village BS, unlocking branches when I had time between classes and intended to grind out the experience for those branches when summer break hit. Well thanks again SOE, you &*%#ed me again. It just figures that they would not only put the CU in at the beginning of summer, but push it out early so it came out a week before finals.Now that soloing is practically dead, I have to worry about finding people to group with in a game that was advertised as not needing groups. I bought this game to play a Jedi in a game that wasn't like all the other cookie cutter EQ style "grind for 900 hours with a full group or you can't do squat" MMO. Since SOE seems to want this game just to be EQ in space, I think I'll go to a game that's not like all the others. Guild Wars came out recently,maybe I'll check that out. I mean wow, a game that you don't have to pay a subscription to play AND it is based on skill and not 4 billion years of grinding experience.

you might be able to get some guildies to poison/disease eachother and watch you as they fight... that used to help.



no, wait, i saw this game... "pong" i think it was called. it was really easy to understand! maybe you could make swg more like pong! think of it! fast paced action! iconic characters! MORE FUN!

That's when we had mind wounds. But, since we don't anymore, it won't help any.

It just occurred to me that fs will not be able to do their QUESTS at the village because of the CU....

OR if they do try them...will they have to be grouped to take on the Sith??? I thouhgt the whole point of village quests was to do them alone? How does this jibe with the new GROUP only game????????

Has this been addressed at all?

we would like to know please......
