It is a guide because I am rather new here (as you might have noticed), and I looked around and saw that this is where imps come to complain about rebels and where rebels come to complain about imps. So I figured this is where an imp would come to complain about imps. But if you want this posted in a different forum, please, just inform me and I will gladly repost it in a location of your desire.

acctually, if you want to see the factions complain about each other(and themselves), go to the Galactic Civil War board. you can usually find a thread like this in there

Greetings,


This thread has been closed as it is not on topic for this forum.


"This forum is specifically for tips and hints to the world of Star Wars Galaxies.


Here you'll find guides to different professions (which are hopefully cross posted into the Professions Forums). If you have a question about one of the guides, please ask inside the thread. I'm sure the writer will be more than happy to answer (hey, it just means you read it!).


For those of you with questions about what to do in game, please head over to your Galaxy Forum and ask there. People on your Galaxy can answer questions from the most basic to the more in depth questions regarding Star Wars Galaxies. Who knows, you might even meet some friends!"

Kill stealers. I have been hunting at the Imperial outpost on Tatoinne, and in the past hour, I have gotten around 150 fp, and only once have I succeeded in killing all 3 rebels and the base by my lonesome self. I don't know about you, but this is no way for an Imperial Corporal to make a living. I am tired of arriving at my mission to see 3 rebels laying dead and a purple dot on my radar running off. Something needs to be done. I don't know, maybe they could make it that only the person who is assigned the mission gets xp. So if some guy kills my 3 rebels, he gets nothing for doing it, and suddenly, I get the fp and xp for killing them even if I have yet to arrive at the base. This will sure as hell help as there would no longer be a point to kill stealing and will make the galaxy a much happier place.

What you describe is not actually kill stealing. Mission Stealing maybe. but definitely not ks ing. could also be that your rebels aggroed the poor guy and he had no choice but to kill them.


On the other hand some schmuck named zaxsomething or other. defitely ksed me tonight. I was actively engaging an IMP when this luser ( misspelled on purpose) started shooting him, THEN proceeded to destroy the base too.

I've seen people take down the rebel I was shooting in one hit, giving me very little if any fp and xp, as well as arriving to see my enemies already slain. Now I don't mind when someone defends themselves and is forced to fight back, but if they don't get any xp or anything for it, it will stop people from purposly hunting down others missions and stealing the loot.

^OmG...I'll I'm saying is that they should change the system, to slow the flow of Jedi. Did you even read my post?

And no, they are not playing the same game as me. I played a game where you actually had to work for your Jedi. A game where Jedi meant something. They play a game where they toss grenades at random spawns for a couple of weeks and join the masses.

Don't tell me that I didn't work for my jedi.

I've had my Jedi since november of 03, and while it was nice for people to be able to point and oogle me because I was rare, the grinding professions system was NEVER difficult. You did not work harder then everyone else to get your Jedi, unless you have also done a Jedi in the new system you really do not know how difficult or long the process is. I've done it, and I would take the mastering professions way for ease every time.

Just because we got into the game earlier then others does not make us special. The only way to slow the Jedi population without killing the game entirely is to provide another route for people to play the "end game" of SWG, probably through the introduciton of other elite classes.

Come on dude you have to face facts.... The game is stuck in time it doesnt move its time line is static. There going to be more jedi and there is nothing you can do about it.... Its a natural progression of the game. If you never expected this then you were mistaken. The longer the game is out the more jedi there will be. Its not as rare that was bound to happen...


It sounds like you have a ego problem. I mean my brother says my brother has a jedi and everyone says oh cool now they say nothing who cares..... Every jedi in this games needs to worry about what they are not what others say or think or what they dont have......

I don't wish to eliminate the flow of Jedi. I wish simply to majorly cripple it. Every Tom and Harry can and will get Jedi. I will soon be bumping my proposition for a much more RP heavy and intuitive system. We absolutely cannot let the current flow of Jedi continue. There will be so many Jedi, it will clog the game and give it a heart attack.

I warned everyone. I told everyone. I was right. Sony never should have listened to those that whined about the old Jedi-gaining system. They would whine, they would leave, we would all move on, the game would stay alright and Jedi would stay at least half-way rare. But now there are so many Jedi, people are leaving in slews.

The thing that disappoints me most of all is that my friends and brother used to be able to say "my friend's/brother's a Jedi!" and they would get a "oh cool! really?" type of reaction. Now if they mentioned my Jedihood they would be greeted with scornful looks or "big deal" type of responses.

Sony, you have poisoned the profession that your most dedicated players worked so hard to get. You promised us we would be rare. You promised us you would make Jedi fun and interesting. For everything you say, the exact opposite happens. We are a weak, common-as-dirt profession, filled with Jedi that have gotten a free ride all the way through, from the complete and utter joke that is the new Jedi-gaining system to the endless AFK grinding of wookies, it's like watching a criminal get through his entire life with the same amount of happiness and total lack of punishment as a hard-working, upstanding man.
