This is a bug and the dev's are to lazyto fix it. The problem isgrenades. They should not allow them to just get combat xp for using them. They should get heavy weapon or their own type of xp. So instead of fixing the root cause of the problem, every one else gets nerfed and we all suffer.






The root cause has been Double XP.


Kill a bol get 14k when you convert the xp in to FS XP you get 466 now times that by 2 because of double XP.


Because of double XP FS grinders really got 4x XP double for the bol and double when converting.



SOE screwed up BIG TIME and they only way they thing they can fix this is to make conversions 10x times more.

They are also working on a group XP system that will divide the about of XP by the number of people in your group.

Kill a 6k BOL with a group of 8 people you get 750 weapons XP or 25 FS XP.


I've seen drunken Microsoft Programers invent better fixes then this. Also Vole knows when it's time to stop beating a dead horse

As seen here http://theinquirer.net/?article=25245

I guess you don't watch any movies...

I would like to see a discounted subscription where that player get to see bilboards in NPC cities. I'd not pay for that feature...




Why do people pay to play a MMORPG but not want to interact with other people?
Why, SOELA, why? Did the entire management join a cult, and at the same time perform home lobotomies?
It takes less time to look at the stickies than to ask a question and wait for sarcastic replies. So please oh PLEASE ask the same question many times. I enjoy the sarcastic remarks.

Wake up genius's, you said it yourself, there ARE other professions besides Jedi or FS. COMBAT professions that got nerfed to hell as well. What are they supposed to do? Jedi or MBH, or Master carniner, I'm not gonna grind like that for anything. And if you really want a wake up call, go to the Discussion thread and look...Well over three THOUSAND posts, 99% od which are ticked off.


You might not miss me, but you WILL miss someone.


A friend maybe?

It is astounding the level of intentional stupidity that is displayed in this thread! Is logical thought a lost art here? NO, IT IS NOT BECAUSE OF THE DAMN GRENADE THROWERS!! If that had been the reasons for the conversion change, they would have changed grenade's XP, not everyone elses. The reason for the conversion was that some ding-bat at SOE figures that we are all morons, and that they can sneek in something like the conversion change and we wouldn't notice it. That way, we have to play longer, pay longer, and instead of blaming SOE, we'd blame each other.


What you, my thought challenhed friend, need to do is regain consciousness and never ASSUME things about people that you don't know. I have NEVER ONCE thrown a grenade. Period. So even if you were correct about the cause of the change, it couldn"t be my fault. Don't fall for the SOE trick and accuse other players for SOE's mistake. They also ASSUME. The assume that grind equals content. They're wrong.


So are you.

well after feeling pissed initially, rightly or wrongly


I feel a weight has been lifted for the time being, Im going to put Jedi to the back burner and go have fun doing some crafting. I am not amazed that SOE has done this, they dont think things through worth a damn.


For those who say that xp now is like pre CU then you either have short memories or werent there pre CU. Just to give an example. I left before the combat update for a rest. Then I was getting doctor buffs and wearing composite armor, Id then go to Endor and spin attack with a power hammer and take out layers in minutes, even against tough opponents like gurecks and the like. Day one when I came back, no buffs, armor was less powerful and creatures toughness levels were different and so I got a rude awakening lol. Now you could say that combat classes were too powerful anyway which I would agree with but thats neither here nor there.


The biggest issue I have with Sony is the way they change goalposts without thinking things through. With the grenade xp and the double xp this is a case in point, I dont begrudge those who saw the opportunity and wisely made the most of it - all power to them. I do have sympathy with the casual gamers too. I remember seeing some posts saying this seperates those who are hardcore with those who are not. All I can say to this is, I prefer to not be thought of as hard core as it means I can have a social life and real life friends too . To those that say the profession grinding lead to people having more knowledge about the game I remember that most did macro grinding anyway. At the height of the prefession grind most crafters didnt know there craft and dropped master as soon as they got it, me I tended to obsessively get into professions. I still remember from being a weaponsmith for a month over 18 months ago that you need polonium iron for a T21 (how sad it that :smileyvery-happy


it comes to the point that everyone has to decide whether Jedi is worth it to them to grind. To me it isnt, Ill keep trading in XP for FSXP but im not going to kill bols for 90 days for what could be the biggest anti climax in my gaming history. Things were more fun pre Jedi anyway, or that could just be me being nostalgic!

only 600,000 more Bols and 150,000 more droid frames till Jedi !!! The ways of the force are indeed mysterious
