i really dont see too much of a problem with this. i think it may actually be a good thing for the game. im so tired of day after day getting into parties and having 3 CL 80's do nothing but throw grenades and stand around. it gets really annoying and really cheapens the game. in all reality, without combat exp, you should still be able to grind out your exp if you are playign the game over the 4 month unlock period.


please just stop complaining, now you just wont be able to get all the exp in a week at the expense of the rest of your party members, if you dont want to be a jedi dont do it. there are plenty of other things to do in the game.

Let them nerf the nades, I am 100% in agreement there. I think that they should have their own xp class anyways, and that is from pre 19, hell, from a while ago.


I just don't want to get nerfed because either someone else is b*tching or someone is "exploiting" (I know it isn't really it, but just becuase it isn't technically against the rules, doesn't mean it isn't against the spirit of the rules).


As I mentioned in a post above, I hate nading, so I don't. I ama Master BH with Master Rifle, so my combat xp cap is 900k. I go until my weapons are maxed and then I head to the village. I can't understand why anyone would want to sit there and throw a nade at a lair, get incapped and then sit while his "buddies" do all the hard work. I don't like it when people do it when I am in a group, so I don't do it.


Really this is just a way for us to see who plays this GAME as it was intended or those who always unraps a new game, and while it is installing, they look up the cheat codes.



Just my 2 cents anyways.


Anyways, flame away, I some of ya have nothing better to do, so go for it

All I can say - out of total frustration is - AARGH!!!!!!!!!


I just needed to cap my weapons out 11 more times and I would have been able to unlock. But with the reductin of combat xp I now have to cap 19 more times. 19 more time - oh - its almost frustrating enough to make a person want to give up.


Wonder what is next on the horizon from $OE. Almost scary.

It's just aint possible for a casual gamer anymore.



bye-bye.



P.S. I'm sure I won't be missed See you in the stars.




But see then you have to ask yourself is Jedi for the casual gamer? Is it really? Last Fan Fest it was stated as "no", its not for the casual gamer.


That much at least makes sense.



so the good stuff is only available to power gamers? i have every right to play EVERY aspect of this game just as much as the next guy..


dont be so elitist. its very unbecoming.

If combat xp is being changed can we please have the combat xp cap changed and have combat xp altered so thatyou get the same amount of combat xp as weapons xp? Because if they are going to have the same conversion rate combat xp shouldnt come at 10 times the cost of regular weapons xp

I thought I read somewhere that this was delayed.


I did the math, and this is what I figured


With my current temp, not using nades for combat xp, I will finish my grind in 18 trips (if I use nades I can do it in roughly 9 but I hate doing that).


If they make this change, that number will almost double, and I would seriously think about using nades to cap out my BH combat xp at 900k to avoid several more trips.


I like the idea of changing the type of xp that nades give you. That should have been done long before this.


Anyone know when this will go live or is expected to go live?






how do ya figure 18 trips? just curious...


this is getting so frustrating just thinking about this and it's implications on all of us. almost making me feel disgusted ( i know it's still on TC, but this may be the last straw)

now see folks that's not a bad change. Instead of nerfing xp they did something smart for a change and upped the requirements without wholescale nerfing the enitre community. If the developers were keen on slowing down jedi progression (which they are btw, not that I like that but its reality) use this example of how to change things. Its an easier fix, less coding involved i.e. less unintended consequences.

For those of you all out there grinding using those methods do not cry just overcome adapt and move forward. If you cannot get used to HIGH xp requirements you should not be fs gridning anyway. Jedi is truly a profession you will NOT be able to comprehend or get through.





If they're so keen on slowing the jedi population why are they promoting being ajedi so much in EVERY SINGLE ON OF THEIR ADS?

Uh... For clarity, BH exp has always been 5:1 when converted to FS Combat exp, but 1:1 when converted to FS Reflex exp. Has the latter changed on TC, or is whoever told you just noticing that he/she is trying to convert to different types of FS exp?




No, whenthe Village was implemented, BH XP converted 1:1 into both. It wasn't until PvE bases were introduced that it was changed to a 5:1 ratio, and the reason for that was that BH's were getting easy XP for jamming base uplink terminals.

They should just bring back perma-death until about 2/3 of the jedi population is extinct.
