Thread: The 30:1 fix *EXPLAINED*
To the OP: I definitely sympathize with you. The combat xp nerf is unfair to those currently grinding the village. I finished the village about a month ago, but that doesn't mean I cannot envision being in your shoes right now. I think they made a mistake with this change. I also think that you should keep up with the uproar, because there is a fair chance that they will see their error and fix this in some other way (it should have been a grenade nerf, not a combat xp nerf).
But the other posters on this thread are correct. I don't know how far along you are, but if you haven't figuredit out yet, you will soon find that the entire path to Jedi, and the Jedi grind itself, isabout finding the best methods to grind EFFICIENTLY. And from the numbers you posted, you are not doing that - and you even admit it to a certain degree. At this point in time, I think your biggest concern should be the fact that you are only earning 600k weapons xp in 5 hours of game time. Someone else posted that they can earn Jedi xp at this rate, and I can confirm that as being pretty accurate. And Jedi xp is earned at about 1/6th the rate of normal weapons xp, and then you have to factor in that a new Jedi is even weaker than a normal combat prof...so that should give you an idea of how much more xp potential there is out there. It is no stretch at all to suggest that you could be earning xp at 4-5 times your current rate, at least.
Keep up with the complaining (no, seriously), but find better methods for earning xp. Even a casual gamer can find ways to be more efficient.

uh.....why would it take you 5 hours to get 600k xp...... you can probably cap(900k or 1.2 mill)1 type of weapons xp 1-2 hours slacking.....
No kidding....... im regrinding BH and maxed my pistol xp in 2hrs........soloing with my droid!
I did this kind of calulation on another post and you made the same mistake as myself.
It's actually a bit worse, as you forgot the 2, 3 or 4 novice boxes needed at 50K FS XP each so 1500000 regular xp each more )
But I still do agree that grinding is not the solution to the Jedi 'problem' everyone talk about. They can slow down the jedi rate, but it won't prevent us from seeing tons of them roaming our cities already.

I do not call that difficult. I call that INSANELY BORING.
At that rate, by the time i get Jedi Initiate i will be STARTING MY JUNIOR YEAR, and my sophomore year hasnt even STARTED yet.
You cannot tell me to stop complaining now. This is insane.
I demand a fix.

well u see.....well over half of the days that i grind at OP, i can never find a group. And more often than not, i happen to get a crappy group that doesnt know what "pull" means. Which, blended together on average, thats about 600k exp per day.and no. I dont get 1 mill in 5 hours. Lets do the math on that one.220,050,000 / 1,000,000 = 220 days.hrmm. And thats assuming that i get 1mil exp each and every 7 days of every week for the next 220 days...not gonna happen. My way equals itself out.
Hmmm... I'm having probelms seeing what your getting at.I'm on Farstar, and grinding from Mos Lowlands I can get about 3,000,000 Weapons XP in about 2 Hours. Thats capping out Carbines at 1.2 Mil and Pistols and Rifles at 900K.So, going by your theory of it requiring 220,050,000, it would take me exactly 73.35 days to complete the FS grind. Thats roughly 2.3 Months at 2 Hours a day.Thats not even including Combat XP.Doen't look to bad to me.
That was about my calculations when the announced the change. I would double the estimate if you solo most of it. So 145 days to solo to Jedi. *shrug* Its not supposed to be easy. I agree that doubling it on us was really annoying but its still an attainable goal if it is in fact really something you want badly.
Oh another addition in case someone goes "BUT I NEED MBH/MRifles TO KILL BOLS!" on me:
"You must unlearn what you have learned" -Jedi Revamp, publish 9/10.

Good. I didnt know this, but its reasonable considering that medical experience is gained as much as weapon experience :-)
Did they change scout too? And how about bounty hunter experience?
In on of the Force diciplines BH was 1:1 and that was changed to 5:1 from what I've read.
