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. From what I hear this has already been fixed... since your the Core I would have thought you would have known that...


2.Are there any plans for Startle Shot and Concussion Shot to be fixed so that the “Chain root/warcry” effect does not happen? This was fixed already... again... Dont you keep up with the current game?


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.


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

a.Jedi while on Force Cloak are /tar-able. Fixed in Publish 20 on TC... Do you not pay any attention?
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. Never seen this...


5.Jedi Discipline – Force Healer:
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.


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(other then the fact that they all do something atm.. sure)and also poison and disease resists seem to not work either.


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



Force Sensitive Profession:
1.Will the old Mind Buff Crystals ever have a use again? This was a long and hard quest to get a now worthless paperweight.


2.Phase 3 Capture Enemy Leadership - Sith Commander moves way too slow and refuses to climb hills making only 1 base (the one nearest the Village) viable to complete the quest. Any Chance of getting this fixed?


3.Can we get a break down of what each Force Sensitive skills are supposed to do exactly? Some of them have less than accurate descriptions that are often misleading.


4.The first attack after the Old man visit has 3 Sith attackers with level 75 and Up. This is not possible for people without near finished templates. Think we can tone those attackers CL down a bit?


5.Some FS trees are broken, (such as the healing tree giving mods no longer needed and one tree in crafting which lowers the chance to fail while assembly when that was removed many publishes ago)

6.Will there be a chance to convert jedi xp to FS xp?

How did you ever get the Core Job? You dont seem to know anything about the profession or the publish on TC...





Do you play this game or do you just look at patchnotes then try to flame the correspondent ?

Quick question.... how many times was elemental damage posted as "fixed" in a TC publish before it ACTUALLY made it to live? Baciacca has a right to question these issues until they're confirmed on live.

Really? The Jedi that I have been talking to on TC-Prime have things that are far less than perfect. Force Costs on sabers of 20ish and average max damages of 550ish. I dont havea Jedi on TC and yes I know my Jedi lightsaber on Live is better than most so I normally dont test it with him. I have an alt Jedi that has a "craptastic" saber which gives me more realistic numbers.





My point exactly. The people testing jedi on TC are given a jedi, perfectpearls, and perfect sabers. I don't know what has changed on TC, but it seems that the previous crew were given stuff much higher than the things a live jedi can acquire. Look at it this way, now that you're a correspondent, you have a chance to be heard unlike the rest of us. Make the jedi communityglad to see that you're working with us, asSonguki did.





No no. These Jedi were not given to them. They do not have Perfect Sabers. They are people that play on TC every day and have ground out their Jedi individually. Nothing was given to them. I havea toon on TC that I use to help them test with, he is not a Jedi. Their sabers have a wide range of states. Average is 20 Force Cost and 550 Max damages from what I have seen thus far. Nothing is given to them freely. The people that were given Jedi to test on TC were from another system, "a system that no longer exists" -Tiggs, and that is why I do not have a Jedi on TC because they "do not know how to give me one with this new system" -Tiggs.







Ok, well that's fine with me.For more accurate information,if the people you're working with are still using pre-cu sabers you might want to tell them to make new sabers and get new crystals and pearls, because the force cost should be in the mid-to-upper 30s and the max damage should be around 428 (with master lightsaber crafting and average high quality resources {crafting foods included}). But you should really find some way to get a jedi on TC, it sux that's you don't have one as a jedi correspondent.

I know that the devs limit the amount of questions that the correspondent ask( they usually say you can only ask 3, which is less than the amount of questions that he has asked), so he will have to ask as many questions in his limit as he can. Not all of us were born to take this position, but hopefully in time the questions will get better, but you never start out with the tough questions as a new guy because you will bet on the dev's badside very fast. I have to agree with you Nicmo,give Bac time. It is an issue if they keep posting that theelemental damage is fixed when it is not.I hope that his next set of Q&A are about the FRS and other major issues.

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.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________

The way this is worded it sounds like we are asking them to increase the effects of Stun, Dizzy, Blind, Intimidate, Disease, Poison, and Bleeds again.

What I mean to say is please dont tell them what we don't worry about, they may decide we miss them.

Instead push to have Healer skills work as a removal for Meze and Daze effects, or short term buffs that the Healer Jedi can only apply to himself.

Just some thoughts.

I'd like to add that the Aurillan Furit, from the Aurillan Tree are also broken. Also the Ice Pendant from the same quest is useless since Combat MEdicine expermentation is gone.

Really sucks Baciacca as to do double duty like this, or even sixtuble duty since there's 5 seperate Jedi Trees. You'd think they'd assign a Force Senstive Corespondant. I really appericate you bringing up some of the FS issues for us all.

This may have already been stated, but I don't have the time to read thru all this, I'd rather play the game.


Force Sensitive Reward: A fix for the Aurillian fruit reward as currently it's stats are around -2billion percent to health. Not gonna try one but assume it's an instant incap. Used to be a nice way to heal without using stims/skills and would be a great addition to the CU that way if it was converted.


Also, I completed/helped complete the escort mission several times pre-CU and never had an issue with how far the base was from the village. Haven't done it since then, but not sure that it would still be an issue when prepared for.

I highly doubt the M|A concept will come before the FRS is released....=[


Although It would be nice to give us knights something to do.
