Yeah so I only have 1 branch of FS skills unlocked, and only 1 box in that branch done. So basically I will never have a jedi now right? WTH what did I do? I didnt do a damn thing and I'm getting screwed. I just may quit if this really happens, I am so sick of this BS and all the other bugs floating around.

/agree
I like the 18 week (minimum) time to get through FS, but there's far too small an amount of content to do that. SOE needs to figure out that 1928730437 hours of grinding does NOT equal content! Making this grind longer (effectively doubling it for most) won't make it any longer of a process to get through FS, either, as you can still grind out 1 tree in a 3 week period playing for a few hours a night like most people do (casual gamers, I feel sorry for you, I really do). As it stands right now, a lot of people grind out all 7.5 million of their FS XP in about 3 weeks, then create a character on another server and play with that one until they finish unlocking, jumping back to do the quests when the phase changes. The system needs help, and more grind time is not the answer.
I have 2 million more XP to grind out, and 3 phases to do it in. Even at this slower rate that won't be a problem, but it'll be quite annoying.I don't see the logic in having something you get at 1/10 the speed of standard XP convert at the same rate as standard XP. Right now, 1.2 million weapons XP = 120k combat XP = 40k FS XP each. That makes SENSE. Could it have been that hard to change 'nades to Heavy Weapons XP? Or even to give the standard amount of combat XP (1/10 of weapons) for 'nades? This is not the answer, and I'm quite disappointed with the way the issue is being handled.

just quit, the "nerf" you get is nothing compared to grinding jedi. If you cant handle this you will never handle the jedi grind.

Indeed. The grind time takes twice as long once this goes live tomorrow, but you can still do it in the 3 week period between phases. The time it takes you will be the same, you'll just have more grinding to do in that time.
And if this freaks you out, he's right. Stop now because you'll never be able to handle the Jedi grind.

Um yeah at least when you get into jedi you get some new stuff that makes it a bit more interesting. I get nothing except double or however much longer its going to take me, with my current temp to even get to where I can even start on jedi. Oh and btw I hope you are not a fully temped jedi that isnt even affected by these changes commenting on this. If you are you have no right at all to be saying anything.

Hey!
I'm all for giving you guys a 1:1 ratio if SOE would dedicate just one server to be jedi-free.

cl 52, just had a 5 HOUR grind today to fill a II box
so i know what im talking about when it comes to the grind 
and although its fun to see differnet things, mostly the boxes give you "improvment" over what you have allready thaught.

I don't doubt that you know what you're talking about. I'm pissed cause I never threw a nade in all my time on SWG, yet my combat xp ratio is getting the shaft none the less. I never used the nade "exploit", or whatever you want to call it, and yet I am getting punished because of those who did. All this does for me is to give me initiative to find the as many exploits as I can and spend all day using them and screw the peeps that do things as they were meant to be done, apparently its either cheat with some or do things as they were intended to be done and get screwed when the devs start swinging the nerf bat.

I was talking about the "people who develope this game making it harder and harder".
But, wait...didn't you also post that they "opened the Jedi flood gates, now deal with it?" Isn't that, in essence, what they are doing with the new conversion rate?
WTH are you smoking? I never said anything about "opening the Jedi flood gates, now deal with it".
Though, how is making the conversion rate WORSE making it easier for Jedi? Hmm, 3:1 or 30:1...

Hehe... someone is extremely retarded here and seems to think that a higher conversion rate makes it easier... funny.
Can you not read? I said how is making the conversion rate worse (from 3:1 to 30:1) making it easier for Jedi? Are you that stupid? Really.
Message Edited by HavykOusrik on 07-31-2005 10:52 PM
Not you, dude... I was referring to the one you replied to who seemed to believe that 30:1 > 3:1.
Oh, okay, I love you then. You just quoted mine so.. that kinda threw me off.

I think we should just take jedi and FS out of the game. Too many problems have come up because of it. Leave jedi to the NPCs.
