was 3:1, then it was 30:1 so you needed ten times as much combat xp. Now if you grind in a full group you get a little more than 1/8 of what you usually got, so now you need to grind as much as 8 times as what you usually did.



my math is probably wrong cuz i'm an idiot, but doesn't that effectively make combat xp 240:1??? (just accept my math,that way you can be more outraged at this)

The only math problem I see is that you are just speaking of combat XP...to me it looks like ALL XP is now 240:1.

600+ days to grind through FS if you grind for 3 hours a night.


3 hours a night, EVERY NIGHT, you're done in more than a year and a half. And then you start the Jedi grind, which'll take you another 1-2 years.


So yeah, newbies buy the Total Experience, go through the tutorial and think "YEAH! I'm gonna be a Jedi! Sweet!" and then get told "um...yeah. You'll be a Jedi in 3.5 years if you play for several hours a night and do nothing but grind. Forget the quests and any of the content in the game. You don't get to do that if you want a Jedi"


The result? /cancelaccount


That, coupled with the mass exodus of veteran players it seems this nerf will bring, is going to spell the end of SWG. Loads of players leaving + no new players = bad business.

I support removing Jedi from the game rather than leaving them as represented in NGE

i 'think' but my math is proberly wrong that the new 'conversion rate' if you do it for combat xp is 2400:1 because combat xp is 10% of normal xp

well the way i figure it to get up one tree of FS it would take 36750000 weapon / combat exp points or if you are solo grinding getting 5500 a kill which is what i was getting you only have to kill 6681 gurks or whatever solo or 53454 gurks if your in a group of 8 spliting exp......no problem....lol



and that is just one branch

ok, so now we go solo grind, finda static spawn of similar level MOBs write a looping macro - leave your character on 18 hours a day (the other 6 for not being AFK). i kill 1 stormie (lvl 80 with 20k ham in bestine)every 2 min getting about5000solo, 18 hours = 1080 min or abuot 500 kills - i easily cap my 1.2mill xp for my rilfe, get 120k for combat and perhaps 400k for med? thats about 60k FS xp. 6 FS trees is about 7.4mill FSxp or 123 trips to the village. and i never press a button. Hate the game not the player.


so, fine thats 4 months where you grind overnight and during the day when you're at work or school, you can still pvp, loot etc when you're really playing. hard part is coping asa jedi with an afk macro....kashyyyk it is then
