GG comprehending anything the Devs ever said. It isn't intentionally bugged. It was bugged accidently, and they are working on far larger bugs, like disappearing mobs, screwed up missions, and lag before they start something as trivial as pearl drops.

XP Change affected more than jedi. Christ, think outside your profession for more than ten seconds.




It took me a week to Master Rifleman solo when the CURB came out, I didn't power grind either. I'm sorry if you really think the 100's of posters were non-Jedi, simple fact is 99% of the people complaining were Jedi or had Jedi.





Hahaha, you think that making the grind longer and such, they will give back the power/pearls? Yeah right, BS. The only reason why the grind would be longer is that they want to maintain the same power for current Jedi and such. This means no new flawless pearls coming anytime soon. Now, with the grind staying the same, it's just a matter of time before all crystals/pearl drops will only be of fair quality. Suggestion? Stock up!! Nerfs are coming, hehe. Glad I'm leaving this game now!!





wow, you thought of this all yourself didnt you?

You should've just taken the hard road and weeded out the wannabes...but instead you'll be nerfed to a regular profession in the near future.







No, SOE wants everyone to be a Jedi, hence putting in long grinds and such (or attempting to). This game is going to the pits, so I could care less what becomes of it. Everyone a Jedi? Fine by me, I won't be here.

Just thought I'd remind you of this fact, you may be able to level a completed template however without the pearls you'll always be fodder to the other Jedi and BH's.

It's not my intention to rain on your parade although I realize that is what I did lol.


As I said I never said I wanted Jedi to be impossible to grind, I just wanted to remind you that getting the good pearls back will be an act from the dev gods.

Premium Pearls not being in game may be intentional. But thinking that changing XP rates will affect that shows you have faulty thinking.
Longer grind to get full template isnt going to change the fact that the class is being nerfed to oblivion.

uh, bro, they will bring back better quality pearls and crystals. Why? Because of the FRS. When that does come back, whenever that is, all jedi are going to need access to higher dmg sabers or they won't stand a a chance against those who do. The result, the jedi gettting pwned because of lacking proper equipment will complain in mass and quit if need be, much like has happened with this publish.


The simple fact is that the FRS won't be able to survive unless everyone has the chance, mind you I don't mean guranteed, but the chance to loot better quality pearls and crystals.

The problem is not the Jedi Grind as it is,its people getting to start the village after 1 week of being in the game.They need to make becomming force sensative take a good while.Like over a period of 6 months sounds about right,like have the old man come to you once every 4 weeks and give you a quest thats both complex,yet fun and rewarding.After bout 6 months of that,you start the village and wait 18 weeks while grinding xp.If they did it this way there would be no need to nerf conversion rates ect. I mean the whole point here is to keep players in the game longer and slow us down,well i think that would do it don,t you?

pearldrops are bugged right now and thats why prem/flawless aren't dropping.


Let us not forget that this nerf affected everyone, not just jedi. And to be honest the only fair way to have done it was to rollback everyone that unlocked post-cu and make them do the grind again. Doesn't sound very cool does it?








They are not bugged right now don't know who told you that. Loot is on a creature level bassis and currently there is nothing in game high enough level to drop them so please do not feed false facts to the jedi who know no better. As far as needing premium/flawless well it isn't needed. Force cost is nolonger a issue and the main factors are speed/damage. To get high dmg pearls you will need to invest the same amount of time/money to attain this same as the rest of us.


To give premiums in this system at the same drop rate as before would flood the market. Stuff dies to easy now takes little to no effort regardless of the cl. While in the old system it would take 5-10 mins with a group of 4 or 5 jedi and a couple tanks to take down giants and much longer than that in 2 man teams. Were talking 2-3 mins tops with a pair of players 5 solo.

Do you believe everything the devs tell you?


That explanation of the cl's being too low on npcs is grade-A bull.


That being said, they will drop again, in time, when all the other bugs have been taken care of and before the frs.

I read all your posts and I must say you are mistaken if you think the pearl nerf is not intentional.


Those of you new to this profession let me give you a little history:


Anyone remember when the "krayt boom" happened?Don't you think it was funnyafter a shot time of the boomKrayts suddenly stopped dropping pearls. We all went to the devs and they said it was a bug. After what I believe was 2-3 weeks of doding questions, finally the devs said they will fix it. Then we see the patch notes, they fixed it alright......it seems they intentionally were fiddling with the drops because people were farming prems from Canyon Krayts too easy (as well as quality from juves). To fix that they said only Giants would drop prem and Ancients would drop flawless. If you believe for a second the original "bug" was unintentional, you are fooling yourself. The Devs DID NOT want every Jedi to have a perfect saber and if they left the Krayt spawn as is with the drop rate as is, that is exactly what you would have.....a bunch of Jedi with perfect sabers.


Now fast forward to today. CURB has come and supposedly with it brings balance to both PvP and PvE. PvP, yep with the nerfing of the Jedi profession PvP is more balanced than ever (not to mention those insane poisons and legendary/exceptional weapons were balanced). PvE = biggest joke. If you think PvE is balanced, I want what you are smoking. Everything has been reduced in power because now all it takes is supreme healing to survive or 2 people with roots to kill anything in the game. Devs look at Krayts and see Rifleman kiting Ancients, hmmm you think it's by chance Krayts now no longer drop anything above good?


People complain about our damage output, well those complaining do not have a 700+ damage saber. If you did you would know that in PvP you are unmatched for the most part due to the tight min/max damage range of a saber. In PvE, well yes you can get outdamaged but the weapons do have to be rather good. So devs seeing all Jedi with perfect sabers = more whining until the forums crash. Solution, nerf the drops then blame it on a bug. What's funny is all of you that buy that load of garbage. I suppose you also believe every excuse the devs gave for the reason of releasing such horrible code in the CURB......I mean the devs swore they didn't realease it early because of the new movie coming to the theathers......na couldn't be that.
