i got 450k pike xp in 1 hour,not as fast as before but still decent
and this was going solo without group btw
How did you do this?
I have been killed and incapped more times in last 3 days than I had in last 3 months. I almost never
play buffed and the game is enough of a challenge. If they had just limited the doctor buffs to 500
increase under old system, everything would be much better. I have tried the CU both solo(impossible)
and group( very difficult), and as a creature handler (biggest joke there is). Game is basicly unplayable
if you are playing to have fun.
I have been online since August 03 andam considering disabling my account.
I agree the game is infinitely more frustrating and very little fun.

i played since lauch with master ws master doc master rifle master tks and jedi knigth
i crafted some weapons very powerfull ( i think ) .. but what happend my old collection 
i had hammer with 800 dmg before CU .. and it converted to 1050 dmg hammer .. but i am crafting rigth now unsliced 1050 dmg hammer .. so what is this !!!!!!
About doc.. what happend my exeptinal buff'ss my 12 pt doc exp suit..?? I facked up
And my jedi nigth nerfed ... what is about force ranking system .. are they deleted this tooo.. My 1 year time went to trash....
So what i have to do now .. stay here and say to DEV's ohh u did well i will cont. to play and spend an other 1 year and u do CU2 i can lost an other year too !!!!!!! may i be soo stupid ?? .. not me but there are many ppl like this ... i am sure they can survive ... I took the picture&names of SOE maneger and hes team .. I am not with them again for all my life .. This is what i can only do .. and also not buying any SONY for rest of my life ..My current TV , deck system ,monitor and my hi-fi SONY . I would love this brand .. but i tooked off all the SONY words from that furnitures already .. Also i know many big brands which they dont listen their customers word & noice . they surely lose profit and closing or sold in 3-4 year no matter how they big ...
WE ARE THE BIGGEST POTENTİAL CUSTOMER of SONY ... HERE US ... IF WE NOT BUY YOU CANT BE HERE ..
This is first rule of manegment .Ofcourse you can do your staf what ever you like .But be sure that we are free to buy any brand's too ..
Last word .. I am canceling 2 of my account from SOE .. but I payed you for 1 of my acount yearly ( ok I am stupid ) and surely I will play it untill I found an other game to spend my time ..
AND I AM SURE I AM NOT ALONE ...
LISTEN US SONY..
sincerly
i love my jedi

I completely agree with you. We are right back where we were 2 years ago. Now that the CU downgrade is in effect.
All Professions are unbalanced again.
For shame SOE, FOR SHAME!!!
I was not soloing Krayts and Elders. I still think this was so very rare as to have not been an issue. I was having fun trying different specialites and now I can't get an skill box in a week?
I have three accounts and 25 days until the next billing cycle.

I am just as frustated as everyone else trying to get xp after the CU, but I have a theory.
This (I believe) was done on purpose to stop people from exploiting whatever bugs (many) that may exist to level up and change points around during the respec period.
Clearly at the moment it is impossible for anybody to level anything at any rate 1/1000th the speed they could before, and can not stand.
Wait until after the respec period and I bet things will be back to at least half of normal...
Until then, go write some macros to exploit the system
Look on the bright side, you can get 2 XP per kill this week.
or need to actually figure out the game dynamics, for example heres some junk about what i've been doing since the CU: Do you really expect a little girl in a ballroom dress to be able to punch rancors to death? Well they can... they just can't punch armies of 900000 rancors to death at the same time. Oh nos! Well thats too bad I guess.

i think you're all just being silly
Respec'd TKM / doc , with self buffs I can get my health to 3800, and have a melee and ranged def of 700 +
I've done missions for maybe a total of4 hours? Two hours grouped and three solo, and gotten 1.8 million unarmed exp and 180k combat exp. Grouped exp netted me nearly a million in just 60 minutes. Last night, me and a rifleman/CM friend were able to kill six level 77 krayt juviniles, 2 level 81 grands, and 2 level 83 ancients in about 15 minutes with nearly zero downtime. Personally I think this was broken, and I was hoping that ANY of those krayts would have kicked my ass, but no dice... they aren't really worth fighting, might as well grind on them for the 6.3k exp a pop.
So first of all, to the godly character wannabes... 3800 health and 700+ defs ain't bad... especially since I don't wear armor or use a weapon anymore... just run around in my lime green dress and punch things
Second... exp isn't as fast, but 1 million an hour is equal to grinding in the warrens pre-CU, and that was ridiculous... probably one of the things SoE wanted to get rid of. Not to mention this week's exp doubling... two mill per hour? Sounds silly to me.... ESPECIALLY with the new level bumping feature, where everyone in your group is automatically increased to match the highest level player. Admittedly, they won't be as accurate, but even level one chars can be of some help when taking down large things. All you need to dois play your roles... tanks, damage dealers, healing, crowd control.
ALSO for the discouraged, grouping doesn't split the exp from each mob, everyone in the group will get the full 5k whatever as long as they landed one blow during the fight, so the more people you have, the faster you can grind. Just pick up missions, don't look for random spawns. They all generate near your level.
I guess all I have left to say is, its too bad people can't master fencer ina day anymore, or get TKM in six hours with a supercool exploit spawn. Can't even get jedi knight in two weeks from initiate! OH NO!!!! Sorry, but I think that was actually something SoE decided should be a no-no. Who'da thought huh?

I'm beginning to think there are TWO versions of the CU. One -- the one I have -- involves a fruitless search for green and blue-con mobs. You spend the bulk of your time fighting off grey cons that -- despite being 'worthless and too easy' -- take two minutes to kill and constantly aggro onyou. When you finally get to the mission you took, you find the level 59 mission has spawned a bunch of level 33s. Which either all aggro you when you try to pull one -- and thus kill you -- or take a minute or two apiece for 1xp.
Then there's the other CU, where the XP flows and it's all great fun. What I want to know is how do I get trade MY crappy CU for your playable one?
