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.







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.







let's see, jedi get roughly 1000xp per kill, i get roughly 7200/30 = 240xp per kill i dont think it'll be that bad and like he said, at least you guys get something as far as skills and stuff goes, i just grind day after day and what do i get to look forward to? the drive to the village

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.





you know mate, i can say welcome to my world. I did no exploits, nor grenades during the village, if you compare ratio pre-cu and post-CU i can say that you are getting to do the same work as i did, i didnt complain i dealt with it. I cant even count the many many hors i trecked over the plains of endor, fully buff and killing everything in sight to get 60 k of FS xp pr hour.

I thought SWG meant Star Wars Galaxies, not Some Worthless Grinding. I don't mind grinding for a while, but I do like to do other things in the game. With this change it's going to get oldreal fast killing the same stuff over and over again.


I've seen all the Star Wars movies but don't recall seeing them in a group killing animals to become a Jedi. I like the post some one made about having Jedi mission terminals. I don't see how grinding for 1000 hrs to to become a Jedi is fun.

From the looks the posts here, Nobody has been reading the Patch Notes. THE XP nerf that alot of people have been complaining about was temporarily removed.

Here is the Link so everybody can verify that.

The second thing to notice is the Nerf was NOT to the XP as everybody keeps saying it's to the XP BONUS that awarded. So when this change is introduced grouping will not be killed. It will still be rewarding, only the large bonuses rescevied will be roduced. Not the ability fir groups to smakdown high end mobd. You'll still progress faster than a solo player who gets NO XP Bonus for doing the same content as a Group alone.

The lair will have a total pool, that will be divided by all members based upon a variety of factors essentially making XP from each animal killed a reduced amount from current methodologies. Sounds like a nerf to me. Of course, since to test this material requires I have 8 people spend a month or so away from Live to grind test toons, not to mention that I cannot test Jedi without replicating a years work on TC, pretty much removes my ability to properly test this material.

The other st90 is missing is that the 30:1 Combat XP Ratio change was NOT removed from Test Center when the other changes were. As far as I am aware it still exists on TC which means it will likely be pushed when the publish goes live. That WILL dramatically change the way FS xp is gained by everyone not just grenade users.

Its funny seeing something like this from someone who registered not even two months ago who probably went straight to becoming glowing and then on to force sensitive. Why dont you try playing more aspects of the game before you start complaining about doing the same thing over and over.

If tomorrow is the last day for grenades it should be humorous to see a group on Dant or Lok...


8 grenades are lobbed. 8 players are incapped. 8 players stand around looking at each other wondering who will use a real weapon.


Funny.

i refer to my self. As i said eralier in this thread i used 5 hours straight grinding yesterday, no break, to get 400 k = II box. so that is mulitplie 2 times for the last two boxes->10 hours->20 hours.

But be my guest, go use all the exploits that are in the game, just dont see how people can be "proud" of their jedi when doing that, but i dont care for what others do, i look after myself
