Force Sensitive Archive

I would like to know if our min/max damage on our lightsabers will EVER be on par with the rest of the elite professions.

I hunted last night with a player that had an unslicedrifle 600-1100 dmg. I am stuck with a lightsaber with a max damage of 700 and our CAP is 800.

ALSO, what about a boost in accuracy? A ranged player with a few dabblings can reach 300+ in accuracy. I am MLS with FS Melee Accuracy and I have an accuracy of only 235.

Add to the Healer issues:

What is the point of Master Healer now? With the removal of BF its pretty much useless. Can we get something in Master Healer thats worth Keeping it?

Mind Costs on Heals are outrageous. Force cost on Heals are outrageous. Sap still has its use but mainly crap. Master Healer is about te most useless skill set out there. At least powers get cloak and a few other things that at least look cool.

Timers are too long and not to mention the healing bugs where:

1. I heal someone I am not clicked on instead of healing myself ( yeah nice one made me die vs a BH one day)

2. The icon flashes and cycles but Woopie! I heal for nothing with Total heal

these "first" and "second" posts show why the jedi profession is in its current state, i wish there was an age check for this game.

What about powers? The stupid zip bars make our status as a ranged proffesion void. Force defense still renders a person imune to powers attacks. Weaken is useless, our ability to put out decent DPS is non existant, intimidate is a joke, and breach is innefective as ever!

Lost of things need to be fixed in all of Jedi, but don't forget powers either.

Questions for the Devs from the Community:

I realize that there are alot of questions here. Any answers would be appreciated by the Jedi/Force Sensitive Communities. Thanks.

Jedi Profession:
1.When are the Pearl drops getting fixed? Jedi is a worthless profession without decent pearls to equip Lightsabers properly. This is obviously needed to be able to fend off the multiple BH encounters especially with the inadequate healing abilities of a Jedi at the moment and/or the every day grind.

>>MLS is owning MPower in every respect without some simple changes, giving MPowers tatical (Not dps) options. While Pearls are an important fix, to request the status without even mentioniong Powers is truely hypocritical. <<

2.Are there any plans for Startle Shot and Concussion Shot to be fixed so that the “Chain root/warcry” effect does not happen?

3.Any chance that the Healing delays will be reduced or if not will heals in general be improved (ex. 4xxx Healer could give 2k heals instead of the 1.5k heals now); if so will this be in the FRS.

>>There is indication, not in the notes but from TC responses/parses, that Healing is down to a 4 sec delay.<<

4.With regards to Jedi Cloak, will the following be fixed:

a.Jedi while on Force Cloak are /tar-able.

>>Fixed as per Pub 20 Patch Notes <<
b.Jedi while on Force Cloak can be agro’d by NPCs while running around in dungeons and in the wild.
c.Jedi while on Force Cloak can be seen just by the shadow below them that do not disappear if a player is looking at shadows underthesimpleoption.

d.Jedi are able to attack single and multiple targets while cloaked; combat spam will say nothing about what is happening because of this.

>>This is an 'Real Issue', the above two need to be fixed but surely cant be more pirority then other issues (MP, see below) on the table.

5.Jedi Discipline – Force Healer:

>>This issue should be number 2, right after fixing the abiltity to attack while cloaked <<
a.This profession costs far more than any healer profession to grind Xp wise yet is less efficient. How is this going to be fixed?
b.Also the xxx4 line of healer because Jedi very rarely worry about the effects of Poisons and Diseases let alone bleeds which do next to nothing worthwhile at the moment.

>>While states and such mean nothing, we really should wait and see as to what the Devs are implementing in that regard before asking for changes or removal of those skills <<

6.Jedi Discipline – Force Enhancer
a.The xx4x (resist buff) line in enhancer seems to be worthless due to the lack of state effects actually doing anything at the moment and also poison and disease resists seem to not work either.

>>See above .. why is this even an issue on the table right now? <<

7.Any chance of a comment on the implementation of a Master/Padawan System?

>>Give this a rest ... there is no need for it without FRS and with the Group Vis system in place as of Pub 20 .. there are far bigger issues to address <<

I pointed my fustration with your statements and priorities in this post here:

This message follows a previous thread, In that thread the poster felt like his long accomplishment of pre9 jedi holo grind has been forgotten. Fellow jedi have gotten to unlock in a much shorter time. Reading the responces I came up with an AMMENDMENT to an idea posted there.

How about being reconized for your JEDI's age. Like veteran rewards for the oldest jedi? IE: the 1yr mark, the 2 yr mark, and THE OLDEST jedi on each server. These rewards might be a choice of a special robe, or colord crystal, or perfect tuned pearl. Any number of player rewards for the time put into being a jedi.

---

Some how I doubt the Devs would allow this because when asked about custom robes at fanfest they clearly stated: "That is what the FRS robes are for" but it cant hurt to ask.

This would be a very cool reward that im sure most would absolutly love to get. (Silver or Black would be some cools choices.)

This would probably be the most wanted reward if any and because of the current drop rates probably the most needed reward.

Not trying to be rude, but your job as a correspondent is to help liason the concerns and ideas of the complete (past, current, and future) population in regards to the profession. Further, as our representivite you 'unstated' duty is to find coheision between the population and help focus discussions to the postive. Making statements like the above really does not seem to fall in either of those categories and honestly the last thing that should be brought to the devs attention when there are enough issues on the table that need to be resolved.

Bluntly "This would probably be the most wanted reward if any and because of the current drop rates probably the most needed reward." is what triggered my post as what your saying with that is 'reward' older players with a perfect tuned pearl, of which they already have hadthe ability to obtain, when the current layer of players cant hope to even acheive one?

Lets stop focusing on the past, stop focusing on the changes that brought us here, and start focusing on the needs/changes/fixes/(insert whatever here) to address viablity/use of those trees that have outstanding concerns.

---

Bluntly you need to stop 'pervceiving' what each tree's role is and project the concerns of those players as -they- see fit, not your top concerns. Next time you go to the devs I suggest you post the questions here and let > US < tell you what the priorities are. MPowers need some functional changes and you can see my suggestions in other posts .. take THOSE as a suggestion to the devs, not some if the lower priority bs you have listed.

i think amorbreak is becomming an issue

2 professions have it all melee can dabbelin it

but there are 2 combat professions who cant get protection vs ab

mdef mehn and tkm should get a protection vs ab

all other can slice there amor for protection

and since ab is so poverfull everone would be dump to not do that slice

btw getting killed from a swordsman or jedi in 3 hits is not the pvp i thought would happen in cu

Could we add this to the list??

Currently when crafting lightsabers there is no benefit or penalty asociated with the different types.

If I craft a new gen 4 1 handed, a 2 hand, and a double blade using all the smae resources and placing the exp points into the same place on each one all of the sabers come out with identical stats. This should not be this way

1 handed sabers should have a distinct speed advantage at the expense of a lower max damage

double bladed should be slower but have a higher max damage

And 2 handed should be a balance in between 1 handed and double bladed stats wise.

either we should get a special respec that only works for FS-skills or they should let us convert jedixp to fsxp with a ratio of 1:1 the hell even more... like 1j:3fs 'cuz jedi xp is more valuable... they were totally different than the pre-cu... and because of cu everyone respecs to everything... full time afk dancers are now BH full time deense stackers are now Armor Smith... why the hell cant we respec our crappy FS? at least they must give a chance to convert the xp this way i can bank 4 million xp, surrender some jedi skills learn the new FS tree surrender the crappy one.. and then learn the jedi skills again. and in the process i wont have to grind... only before the process just bank up some xp that would be great baciacca pls more attention to this thank you.... this is my first attemp to bother a correspondent with a seriuous request
