Personally I wish all the whiney people would just quit and go back to EQ and DAoC, or sleep in front of their computer dreaming about the perfect Horizons launch. Here's my take on it.


Back when EQ came out if was buggy and crowded as hell. You payed uber plat for crap items and it took forever to get to the point that you were good. As it progressed the prices gradually dropped, until near the end people were just dropping very nice items for others to pick up. By this time you had 1-2 characters around level 50-60. Everything worthwhile needed a huge guild to raid it. These raids would take hours to put together and complete, leaving you with no life if you wanted to keep up in the game. And guess what?! By the time you hit 60 and later 65 many of your friends were burnt out on the game and quit. So all for what? To get uber and leave. Of course, the new frogs were at level 65 in not time with all the twinks and powerlevelling.


Personally I'm tired of the co-dependance. This game is like starting in the 3rd chapter of a book. It's buggy as hell, but we're playing it now. If you think what this guy did was easy, then think again. Compare the experience with how the game works (when it is working) and the amount of time per day put in to levelling. True some people can only play for a few hours a day while others can play for 20, but that's the way with any game. I even know some couples who have two boxed entertainers, taking turns on the sleeping.


Grats on a great job! I wouldn't want my private chats being read either. I love CHs and wish people would stop whining about them like a bunch of school kids fighting over a swing on the playground. Oh, and very cute names for your rancors! It reminds me of Hagrid's pets. =) Jedi are human and their skill levels vary. You CAN solo reds as my master artisan (marksman and scout) has done. With expert pistol skill and a scout blaster I can solo a shaupaut. I even took two close together although when a third one added I got killed (stat bar wasn't going down although my health was). Still not bad for an artisan wearing a frock. I also love having minimal downtime. You can always be doing something in the game, and that appeals to a lot of people who couldn't take the downtime in EQ (looking for a group, waiting for sow on a corpse run, watching the warrior health bar slowly climb while playing gems when no healers were around, watching the mana bar slowly climb while no enchanters were around, and having to look at those sucky graphics). Yea, a lot will be tweeked and fixed during the course of this game, but there is no need to jump on someone's case for sharing some cool pics with you and showing you what you can also do.


The only two bugs that I can't take are when you go to check a harvester and it takes 5 mins to appear, and the loss of xp. (Lost one full block that I had already been trained in the previous day). Sorry for the rambling. Okay, not really! Just wish the servers were up!

I never "leaked" out information, I just stated was could be plainly seen in the screenhots and the reasons for me not responding are quite simple.


1) This thread has been moved to a new forum so my bookmark was gone and I forgot about it.
2) I also sleep, which may come as a surprise to some people.
3) I don't spend all my time on these boards.

This was NO LONER CH taking out a Dark Jedi or 3, check the upper right of this screen, its a group of 4 players probably 2-3 CH's as there are at least 3 Pets in link2/pic1.

I wouldn't get my panties in a wad over this, the only thing I envy him(them) on is having seen one. Other than that this is just a group getting a chance encounter and having the #'s to handle it.........unless there is some type of "hack" going on.........it doesn't seem to be anything out of the ordinary..........including the invalid boasting of taking THREE DJ's down loner......ha!!!

You guys keep complaining that someone able to kill a Jedi is against the SWG reality. However, the SWG universe during this time did NOT contain many Jedi, good or bad!!! Also, not all Jedi are Uber, some are, and some aren't.


Now, if he killed Vader then I could see why you are upset, but he killed some no-name Dark Jedi's that really shouldnt even exist.

Well I just have ONE thing to say here, what I think is that I don't know about the rest of you guys for my part I think that the fact that he was able to take down a few Jedi's on his own well I think that it's great for him, I mean if he spent all the time that he did levelling to the point where he would be able to take him down on his own regardless of the tactics that he used I mean, it's just something to be admired in a weird kind of way. As for the ppl that say that there is not enough things to look forward to, I'm not really a powergames, so I mean I don't really spend like forever leveling up I just play to have fun so realistically speaking I have A LOT to look forward too, maybe when I get to that level I won't have enough challenges, but I really don't think that all the ppl here have had the experience of not finding something too challenging, well I don't know that's just my opinion I don't know if it makes too much sense or anything but there it is.

2 things


shut up about the CH being too strong. this guy is a MASTER CH and should be able to take on and maybe even kill a jedi. and...all 3 of his rancors died anyhow.


secondly, are you a pistoleer or what? if youre not a master pistoleer, im gonna complain about you being able to kill her (with 90% blaster resistance) with your pistol. THAT is where the problem lies in this confrontation. not anywhere else.

so you're saying that he should be able to solo against dark jedi knights?!?!? or anyone, with enough experience and good enough weapons can?!?!? thats not right! unless you are a jedi, you shouldn't be able to take on a dark jedi, much less 3 and live to tell the tale of how you defeated them unless you at the very least, the bare minimum, had a hunting partner, and even then, you both had master riflemen and were sniping the hell of him with the best rifle on the market right now, whatever that may be, from maximum distance (yes, kiting, thats what you do with a rifle). that should be the absolute bare minimum for taking out a dark jedi....soloing against jedi, 3 weeks into the game? there's definately sumthing wrong...

OMG! It's finally crystal clear! This game IS Asheron's Call 2 in space! This is exactly what happened with AC2 at almost exactly the same point in game developement! I'm not accusing you of doing anything wrong, just what the "game" has allowed you to do, but this is just plain WRONG! Seriously, tell me, did you use Pistol Whip and other Pistoleer skills to kill them? I mean, I've heard that pistol is overpowered in this game, but I didn't know it was that bad!


Well, looks like I need to get some gaming in before the 27th, because I know where this road leads. Straight to boredom and nothing but uber characters killin' everything in site with ease. This game is DOOMED! WE ARE ALL GODS!!!!!!!!!





You're not a Liberal Democrat are ya? LOL

gonna make this short and sweet-1. i dont believe he exploited, but as some1 mentioned above, it does sorta look like its trapped in a valley, even then its not his fault, the npc didnt use no force powers, it didnt force choke him(tho ive only seen DJMs force choke so i might be mistaken) and it didnt force pull him and cut him up with saber, so blame it on the devs but kudos to you holymight and also


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


3) Wasn't there something about only being two Dark Jedi at a time? "A Master and an Apprentice" I believe I heard Yoda say...


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


thats only sith lords, there can only be 2 sith lords at a time,master and apprentice,palpatine-maul,palpatine-dooku,empereor-vader.
