This is not the answer. I have the feeling the DEVs are revamping sabers instead of fixing pearls anyway.

Would be good it they:

1. Increase drop rate.

2. Finally fix tuning.

I had more important things to do. It was called grind FS. I was grinding with tk/fencer/brawler template didnt do the nade grind.

Anybody playing this game since '03 has no excuse for not having pearls.

I strongly suggest that you do not procrastinate on obtaining some when they bring them back in the expansion.

Well sorry but I did have pearls. 2 of them at the time. N by the time rumors of the CU came around I was already a jedi n was in no position to even try to take on a krayt by myself or in a group seeing that I had no master boxes in anything. Pre Cu you could get away without using pearls. I had 30 good n fair crystals tuned for my pre CU grind.

For the umpteenth gajillion time the pearls droping now have a chance to tune just as good as pre cu flaws and prems do, not as much of a chance but it can be done and has been done. Pearls are a lot easier to come by now so if you have to tune 20 to get a decent one instead of 15 like before so be it. If ya spent half the time whining and more time hunting you would have a good saber by now.

posts like this make baby jesus want to cry

I am one of the many unlucky jedi who did not become jedi until after the CU. This means that I'm forced to use a weapon thats worse than everyone who just happened to finish up the FS stuff and start looting pearls before me gets an extreme edge in PvP. So what can be done? The devs have made it clear that they are unwilling or unable to allow everyone to have premium and higher pearls.

The answer is ADKs. If pre-CU jedi couldnt use ADKs for their sabers, pre-CU uber pearls would slowly leave the system through a system of decay. Pre CU jedi would still have the edge, being able to save, ration, and be careful with thier old pearls, but they wouldnt be able to use them for all occations for long.

I know we all love our ADKs, but sometimes you have to lose something for the sake of balance, and this will help jedi out in the longrun. On my server there are a bunch of ebayed jedi that just run around having no idea what they're doing but can deal a ton of damage with strategy-lacking button slamming-- I'm sure there same must be happening on all servers.

When this change goes in, all pearls and crytals would decay as per before the vet reward system, and all players would be refunded their ADKs.

I know some Pre-CU jedi will come here and try to say that this is a nerf call, but its really just a balance for the greater good of the jedi system, because they have no idea how terrible it is right now to be stuck with cruddy tunes of quality pearls with a DPS amazing sub-par to a mediocre laser rifle.

Hopefully, most jedi players will be able to look past their own stuff and see the good that would come from this change.

as most jedis today have 400-500dps sabers compared with 800 dps pre cu sabers...not very balanced

DPS is pointless.

Got an ADK from each of my accounts. Use one on my saber n gave the other to a friend of mine for her saber.

Just what we need a another cry nerf. I feel this is a joke, I also feel that if you have 4 premo pearls or crystals you should be able to slap and ADK on them to keep them from decaying. I hope they do not remove the ability to ADK lightsabers. If they do, ADK kits will not be as valuable in my opinion. For all you new Jedi out there that got the shaft and got stuck will all the borked pearls and crystals, you will get your shot when they bring the premos back hopefully. I am contesting this thread, because I have been playing SWG since internal beta and this game has never been balanced and never will be. There is always going to be some professions out there that are either overpowered or underpowered. SOE should just do us all a favor and leave the game alone.
