have played through KotOR I and KotOR II numerous times. I prefer SWG by a longhsot. I plan on asking for help with the Sith Shadows. There are a couple of high CL Jedi on Wanderhome that I can ask for a favor. I'm just curios about something: After you get the datapad, do the Sith Shadows continue until you go to the Village? I figured that I could get the datapad with a lot of help and then continue to get levels until I'm ready for the village.
#1 you get glowy.
#2 Old man talk to you.
#3 siths attack you and try to take you crystal, you need help here from a lvl80 friend, stay indoor till a friend can help you.
#4 you loot a way point datapad from the siths, go to that way whit your friend and take out the base, loot a new waypoint data pad. make sure you are grouped whit you friend and that your friend dont loot the siths.
#5 now you can get inside the village, AND NO THE SITHS DONT ATTACK YOU MORE!

Personally the only problem I have with this is not being told at all, I wated my respec a day before the pub 21 came out so I could cap more combat xp as a BH meaning less trips to the village. I sure as hell wouldn't of given the professions I had been for the last 8 months if I had known this was going to happen.
If they are doing this for the sole reason to lengthen the FS grind to limit jedi population then good.
If they are doing this for the sole reason of fixing the way people grinded FS with nades then this was a horrible idea, I have a feeling that it was also didn't help not having tiggs around for the last week there and TH having to fill in... But oh well this new 30:1 ratio is here, like it or not. If you dont you probably shouldn't try for jedi cause you are going to hate that grind even more and with the group XP ratio that is staring at everyone in the future.....

Like someone else said: They have already left the jedi floodgates open. The jedi are already vastly over-populated, and dampering the ones that are planning to get there is not the right solution.

Are you people really that slow at grinding? In three weeks, you can't acheive enough experience for one tree? That's all you have to do! You don't HAVE to bank it all the first week you get FS. Stop crying it isn't impossible, you're just lazy, and if you quit because of this, the game is better off without you.
To the person who said servers are unpopulated: Take some of your people back from Bria, too many migrating here.

Why not? No matter what they do to limit the jedi population, the forums will be filled with posts screaming about how unfair it all is. So what does it matter what they do? The resultant reactionamong the player base will be the same. "The devs are jerks, they're out to get me, blah blah blah blah blah..."
Also, it's been noted many times that the devs do not discuss possible exploits or their fixespublicly, as it brings the exploit into the spotlight and will cause that many more players to use the exploit (it's in writing, look it up). The nade grinders may not have been using an exploit in the strictest sense of the word, but let's be honest...is throwing a nade at a lair, then sitting downon a hillsidewhile the rest of the group kills everything for you right? Get over it, all of you. If you don't like the grind, don't do it. There's an enormous amount of content in this game that does not involve being a jedi at all...go find it.

The new nerf is horrible . I was thinking of quiting but my gf just started playing with me so it wouldn't work out haha .
Anyway some problems
For the casual gamer like me (2-3 hours a day weekends are 5 hours ) it makes it harder . As a pistoleer combat exp was already hard to get . Why not make it worthless compared to my pistol exp. I can get a million pistol exp in an hour , it takes me an hour to get a 100k combat. Yet they are worth the same trade in ?

if this makes ya quit then jedi would have been the biggest slap in the face ever
The FS grind (as it was intended) was disgustingly unbearable. I did all of mine using combat / medical / CH xp during double xp periods.
The Jedi grind is new, challenging,and generally much more enjoyable despite the fact that its much longer than the FS grind. So far I've ground about 12 mil jedi xp and gone 9 for 9 on my BH encounters.
Jedi is less of a slap in the face than the FS grind in my opinion.

Are you kidding me? You're seriously comparing Jedi boxes to FS boxes? You must be an AFK grinder.
I am seriously comparing them, please expand upon how they are not comparable.
I have been grinding for the last 2 weeks largley with 2-5 jedis in my group and am well aware of the xp the are earning as well as my own. I have no reason to doubt their reports of 1000-1300xp per kill in boxes requiring 1.6 or 3.2 million xp. In the mean time I am recieving, lets call it, an average of 6600 weapon xp per kill. Divided by 30 plus 10 percent in combat xp and you have 242 FS xp per kill.
Its a fifth of what jedi earn toward their admittedly larger boxes. Jedi and FS boxes are very comparable grinds with the exception that Jedi boxes are much more useful and don't require time consuming trips to the village but, do risk BH xp setbacks.
I agree, and I'm glad you showed the numbers. Another point of contention is that I don't have to waste 15 minutes traveling back and forth from the village every hour now that I'm earning Jedi xp.
Simply put, a smartplayer can have a lot more fun doingthe Jedi grindthan the FS grind.

Boy, those sith have got tougher!! When I was in that situation, I had my Probot out, popped AFK for about 1 minute, had volume up to hear the combat music, rushed back to PC and Probot killed the sith, but my char, a Master Fencer, Pre-CU, unbuffed and unarmored, never inflicted any damage, nor took any damage,then looted the wp disc!

Your right man the servers would all close down if we got to a lower ammount of ppl. As for this XP change thats bullshizz theresa fewthings that could be done:
1. Change the combat xp back to 3:1 and make a new catagory for Naders.
2. Leave it the way it is and watch a good game go down the drain as players get pissed off at this outrage.
3. Just remove combat xp if ur gonna make it the same and raise the elite xp to 2mil and just forget this whole thing.
Maybe this can start a new wave of talking on this subject. But as for this first guy quitting because of this i know ur r/l issues could be extremly hard for u to play swg that may be why you quit 3 other times but just know if u come back ur this close to jedi. And with jedi comes a whole new way of gaming and fun.

I'm sorry, I almost feel the same way, but I'm not leaving yet, if they screw up something big again, I might consider it, MxO would be better than this, and it kinda got pretty boring if you didn't like to RP... but I do
