It's not just the Jedi profession it's other professions as well.For Instance, All the non-jedi heal capabilities are getting increased costs. From testing, I have gathered that Jedi has received 3 Nerfs:


Jedi -

AI now is usless for a Master Defender to use for PvE. I understand that it will prevent alot of loot whoring taking place but forcing a Master Defender to group is no way to do it... Forcing ANYONE to group is a joke.


Force Run1 2 & 3


With this new 'Snare Rule' The point of even HAVING force run 3 on is COMPLETELY USELESS. Not to mention the fact that Creatures now use a biological snare. For Jedi wanting to do some content on this planet makesit COMPLETELY undesire-able to do so because of the rampant Bounty Hunter attacks. The BH Droids are working fine on Mustafar which will prevent MANY people from participating in this expansion, including lowlevel padawans.


Powers Jedi now have ADDITIONAL costs toChoke and Lightning, although Slight increases were made... it still hurts them tremendously. You wanna know how to fix Powers to be a viable alternative to lightsabers? Remove the Warm Up Timers completely from all Force Powers. Period.


You say that you don't want to allow the farming of high end loot for a single profession... What is the Bounty Hunter loot table then? There for incentive to stop bounty hunters from attacking the Jedi? A mere distraction, I personally enjoy every fight I have with a Bounty Hunter because it fits me... I like to fight for my life. Either begin dropping pearls higher than good quality again, or remove the content specific class loot for Bounty Hunters. You're simply playing a favoritism game. And I'm sick of it.


Combat Medic - The nerfs to heals are sometimes good and sometimes a bad thing with this profession. Many players with any kind of combat medic in their build knows that they can use other stimpacks on top of the normal heals...1 round through all of these and suddenly, everyone is out of mind. Also, Thyroid Rupture needs to be readjusted to be comparative to Force Speed and Doc Speed buffs (Currently it's -40 Points where the highest Speed buff is 25 points.) Balance this. I say -25 Points is fair enough for the debuff)


Melee - 2 things really to be said here. Yes, melee aren't really the best damage dealers... but on the same token, don't make it a useless PvE profession. The other being the necessity for some healing in your template... Suddenly (especially with this expansion) it has now become 'Who Runs out of the unhealable pool first'


Crafters - This class needs some love. Combat professions have gotten 2 expansion geared towards them... Lets add some content for the crafter base. I'm sorry, but you're only as good as the equipment you use and the better the crafter makes my items, the more I will buy more from him. It maybe too late to add much content in this expansion... but for commerce and the economy to evolve and thrive, you need goods that players want... The elitist quest items is too cookiee cutter for most people and I've argued for the Dev's sake 1 too many times. There is no deliberation of why or how... Just do it. I'm sick of opting to have 2 Combat professions instead of a support crafter and my combat... What's the point of having 2 of the general things? I want something unique that nobody else has... and if that's made from a crafter SO BE IT.


On the topic of Space_Rancor's reply to a crafting thread... Since when does SOE Delegate exactly how a person SHOULD play? I don't understand why it's so hard to give crafters (Pure Crafters) CL 80... I mean lets think about this:


Crafters DO NOT have any specials for weapons. (If you count Ranged Shot an ability)

Many weapons have a CL or Profession mastery requirement.

Give them the innate armor of a Teras Kasi Master and the HAM of a CL80 - Don't expect the crafters to be daft when coming to this planet.

Give Weaponsmiths more schematics for weapons. I personally believe that no looted weapon should be better than one crafted by a master of his trade.

Give Armorsmiths more schematics for armor. VARIETY... Let me spell it V-A-R-I-E-T-Y.


Customer Service - Currently this aspect of the game is a joke. Sometimes I have to submit a ticket MULTIPLE Times to get an issue I cannot bypass resovled. A Majority of the time it's 'I'm sorry you're encountering a problem with xxx ... Thanks for your patience'. After 2 years of playing solidly (I've spent nearly 400 bucks to play so far, including the expansions, minus this one), I deserve to be treated and helped to the BEST of your department's extent.


In conclusion, I have alot more on my mind -- but no-one likes to hear a rant... which isn't my intention... It's to make you (The Developement Team) aware of the issues that MANY players are experiencing. I won't go into specifics to live issues because that will come at a later point. The point I'm trying to make is that you are putting in elements of the game that NO-ONE is favoring whatsoever... Entire communities publicly bash SOE and SWG Developement for the lack of gregarious developement. Make me want to play this game... For me, It's a chore to login and 'experience' anything worth doing. You've destroyed so many professions, I've lost count. I think it's time you rethought how you are running this game and will continue to run this game because you stand to lose a whole lot more than what the CU presented.






I made this exact post in the SWG General Discussion thread for the Beta as more Developers pay attention as to what is going on there moreso than any other board.


I felt compelled to tell them exactly how I felt. There is a major issue in the ToW about crafting content for non-combat professions and other fixes that no-one favors. I think it's time we all stepped up and expressed out distaste (professionally) with the direction this game is heading.


Please discuss... I'm not trying to start a flame fest so keep the negative comments to yourself. If I get banned for any reason because I spoke my mind... So be it... My days are numbered with this game anyway.

Such a life of these things.

Oh no... The developers will read it. I've posted in the ToW General Discussion boards... which they often post 20 times daily in. It's not exactly the details I'm worried about ... it's more the acknowledgement that they understand what their player base thinks.

It doesn't matter if they read it or not. They don't care. It's Sony's MO.

It's quite possible that even if the devs actually understood and empathize with the way most of us feel, they wouldn't be able to do much differently because they're just doing what they are told to, following the company line so to speak.

But you are absolutely right, this game gets more dreary and joyless every day, Jedi are being nerfed to less than a regular combat profession, and there are also all kinds of nerfs that affect other professions.

For all practical purposes, it doesn't matter if the devs don't care or are powerless to stop the madness. Little by little all of the cool people I know in the game are giving up, quitting, canceling, moving on to other MMORPGs and other hobbies... it's sad but it doesn't look like there is anything or anyone to stop it.

Kaotic, I think you've made some really good arguments regarding the game and agree with what you have said.


I think its awful what they've done to this game, its never been perfect, always far from. Lately however for the most part, dev's seem to be more interested in stripping content from the game than actually balancing or enriching the game. Like the Aakuan's on talus.


The worst shame to me is how they keep stripping down classes, I don't pvp and have very little interest in pvp, I don't enjoy making other people my content or being other people's content. The nerf after nerf after nerf hurts all classes when you want to do difficult content such as the DWB. In pvp CM is very very powerful, I'd say too powerful, put in pve, those abilities are the only thing thats going to give you a fighting chance in some situations.


I'd like to see well thought-out content and class fixes, heck nerf cm heals when engaged with a player and leave them more powerful when not engaged in combat with players.


Jedi are a joke, their sabers don't work right, the damage on them depends on armorbreak to even approach the damage of any other mastery level weapon. Almost every mastery level ability has been nerfed into uselessness, most non-jedi professions get abilities that rival or surpass jedi abilities and the few exceptions, such as force run and cloak are being nerfed into uselessness. Add to that 15 minute downtime to regen force compared to normal professions that need to sit down for 30 seconds to fully recooperate.

Nearly everyone I knew in the game has left due to all the nerfs and bugs.

They just keep the nerfs coming. I don't get it. They have NO direction what so ever.

Down is a direction.


Seriously, I could not agree more. I stayed with the game this long was because it had the potential to be a great game. Not only has that potential not been realized, but it has taken a 180 degree turn and heading back down to something compeltely alien.


The Devs don't seem to care any more. When I say devs, I am not referring necessarily to the coders and artists, etc., but to the folks driving the direction of this game. They simply keep polishing the crap and add another mediocre expansion as content that we already pay a subscription for. The sad thing is that for the most part, we the consumer, keep paying for this crap.


The ONLY thing keeping me here is the desire to play with my new friends. If it were not for them, I would have cancelled months ago.


The customer serivce is run like they actually hate their subscribers. I have never seen such lack of service in ANY market, much less an MMO.


I need to find something more constructive to do with my free time and quit this game.
