Has there been a change between early this morning and the time of this posting? I logged in this morning and didn't see anything new in my inventory, but (again), I don't know what exactly I'm looking for (i'm told it's a sculpture piece, and i did the melee speed).

Great! thx man

now for changing back to 3:1

Yeah....no kidding...the combat xp change is uncalled for. It doubles everyone's grind for FS. If the dev's are that concerned with people exploiting grenades...then nerf grenade xp/damage. Don't punish the rest of us.

So now instead of me getting almost 200k FS a trade it....now I barely get 100k FS.....Since combat xp is so tough to get in the first place....and there is a smaller limitit dramatically adds to grind time. Ittakes a heck of a long time to max out xp..and then it gets nerfd. If I spend the extra time maxing out xp I should get rewarded for it...at least make it1:10...or 1:5....but to go from 1:3 to 1:30 is just insane.

To clarify: I was only referring to the hotfix. There has not been an additional change today.

Just to confirm, do you mean Melee Defense? Melee Speed is a Phase 2 unlock.

Assuming you meanMelee Defense, you should have a 5-use "Dermal Thickener" melee defense buff item as a quest reward.

Also, can you verify whether or not you have the branch unlock by talking to Paemos or Noldan?

I'm a master tka, pikeman, brawler....I don't see it fair that a few exploiters of grenades have doubled my grind time.

I'd like to start out by saying thanks to SOE for the recent increase of communications from them. This is a welcome change from what I have seen over the past year and a half that I've been playing SWG. I hope it gets better, but this is a nice start. WTG!

As others have stated, the nerf to combat conversion XP in the village is hurting...a lot!
It seems the very simple fix should be (and this is how it should have been done to begin with) is to make grenades give heavy weapons XP instead of combat XP. This way you are not punishing players who are not exploiting the system and are 'playing by the rules'. Please consider fixing this the proper way! We need our 3:1 back for combat xp.

Yes, Melee Defense. I can't remember, i've done all three melee quests.

Yes, I obtained the Branch unlock the night I did it (afaik). I seem to remembering Paemos and he told me all four of my unlocks.

Yes, I recieved the "Dermal Thickener". I wasn't sure if that was it (i was almost thinking it was) since it seemed like one of the other simple buff loots.

Everything's in order then.

Clarification: the item reward for Melee Defense was only added to the quest in Publish 20 (July 19th 2005). Note: that was not a bug fix, per se. We just noticed that it was the only quest with no item reward, and it happened to be an easy thing to add.

Retroactively granting the newly added reward item to folks who completed the quest before that point is not within the scope of this hotfix. Sorry!

---

And why can't those of us who finished the quest before Publish 20 receive the reward? This makes no sense, unless what you're saying is you could retroactively do it, but that wasn't the fix you were working on this time around.

I have to agree, I am now only able to get to play for roughly an hour a night, if that, and a few hours on the weekend. I'm 1 full branch and one box away from jedi, right now as it stands if I cap rifle only I get 44666 combat xp where as prior to the change I was getting 86666 force combat xp. I don't throw nades, now I do every little bit helps, but this is prolonging my time before I get jedi, this is game breaking to me.

I've heard all of the "blah blah too many jedi, too quick through the quests" I didn't get to use double xp for grinding, I'm glad everyone has a Jedi, if that is what you want to play be happy, why should I have to suffer because so many people have a jedi already?

People talk about "continuity", we don't have any here. Do you know how many times necrosis has been killed? or How many JSF vader has in his stock room? How about the drunk in the cantina who gives you his armor, he has enough for his own army. The guy lost on kashyyyk, no matter how many people find him, that girl is crying he is still lost.
