Actually I agree, the XP loss is what removes the fun from Jedi vs BH duels. And then you have the BHers that do it only for the XP loss and not the credits that create even more hatred between the two.

I am not wining about XP loss, but it does reduce alot of the fun. If there must be a penalty, then change it to something else. This is supposed to be for fun and not trying to ruin the enjoyment of other players like alot of BHers prefer. If it was truely about fun and skill, then the XP loss wouldn't matter to a BH.

Your missing the reason for it in the first place...
You log in your BHer get your own mission collect the cash... sure its a little tougher with the new no name rules but you could sit your jedi next to the terms and sit and take missions till he turns red and bammo insta cash! they had to do something to keep people from farming their alts.





Yes, in old system. In new one, you have to generate enough viz to get on the terminals, then go thru countless missions to find yours. The amount of time involved in this wouldn't be worth it now. It would take several hours and in that time you could of made way more credits alot easier and more fun way.

In the new one, I don't see a logical reason to keep the XP loss. BHers claim it's to keep the Jedi population under control and keep them from advancing. Well, that's certainly not working, Jedi still advance and still do what they want to do. So what is the real reason for keeping it in game except for the BHers that like causing a player to loose XP?

Thats a very vague statement.. "To avoid them waving their sabers about". Not only is visibility still a mystery for everyone (there are rumors that even bikes give visibility!) but most Jedi alredy do the waving their lightsaber in starports things. XP Loss does not make this a problem for them since most of those who wave their sabers in front of theed are full template, so what they care?


People are free to choose to grind for Jedi, or stay as a rifleman. I dont see why there should be a Jedi population check.

See what I mean? It's only purpose is BH content to make some Jedi player miserable. I'm not whining about XP loss, I haven't been killed in 5 months. But XP loss in the current system is only a tool for a BH to cause grief to another player.

No, they still do it like idiots in starports. I saw a cl58 Jedi killing faction NPCs in Bestine starport last week. I wanted a BH to get him. Now Jedi with this kind of stupidty deserves special treatment IMHO. But the XP loss system I don't think is the way.

I agree with the passion that people put into the game. But please, your animosity is misplaced. Jedi Vs BH is the End content of the game! BH's have been equiped with the skills, when used properly, to take down a Jedi. Jedi once they acquire thier preferred skills and learn them well should be able to beat the BH 10/10 basis. But since there are bugs....and probably always will be that off-set's the balance between the two OF COURSE we are frustrated. We are the Jedi, we have spent uncountable hours just trying to unlock, and MORE uncountable hours grinding to finish our templates. But the rest of the game need's love too. We are at a stand still right now, before we get anything the rest of the game should be fixed. We are supposed to be 1.5X's stronger no? The best way for a true, effective, complete balancing can happen when the rest of the game is balance appropriately as well. These are just my thoughts. I am frustrated like the rest of you. I have realized and getting angrier and spaming hate when I was a Commando will never solve the issue and just escalate's my anger when I see nothing done. Patience is truly a virtue......but I'm going to be a Dark Jedi anyways....

Maybe not a 'griefing tool' but definatelly something that should've been removed a long time ago. People still talk about risk, Jedi in hiding and so many other things, that as always are aimed to make the Jedi life according to what they think.


In a few words, all the players excpect Jedi to be a completelly separate game of Star Wars Galaxies, like something they have never experienced... well I hate to burts that bubble, but Jedi is pretty much a multy task tool professionin this game, nothing more. We are a combat class, instead of being able to be a politician class (Galaxy diplomatics), a helper class, etc. There are no real Jedi powers that could be different from the rest... Cloak? Is just a rifleman Improved cover, since you can move, but thats it. Force Heal, aka Bacta shot that doesnt have a +healing modiffier and takes up from 3 pools instead of 2 (mind costs are higher too), force run? More like Improved burst run, all the enhancing tree? Is just a mix of combat medic and doctor, nothing new. I think that Avoid Incapacitation is the only true unique skill, the rest are just copy pastes/renames of other professions' code.


So are we trully 'Jedi'? Are we trully the ultimate fighting class? Are we the only profession that deserves to be punished for playing the game?

Now that is the problem, how to make Jedi not show off as much as they do now. I admit, it was sort of interesting having to hide before I was a full template. So there should be risk, but the current system isn't the solution.

They hunt us. We know it.


They get credits. We lose xp. Unless that is, we learn the ropes and beat them.


Get the eff over that. If you can't handle it...don't be one of us.


I'm happy and glad there is a penalty. I learned a lot about pvp and being Jedi as I did my grind. Now that that is done...I use those tools to win way more than I lose.

Dont take this personal, but the reason I posted this here, is becausethis are the Jedi Forums, not smuggler, leader squad orcommando forums. Andis not just because there are bugs, or the game is unbalanced, but more because this is an obsolete punishment that still remains in the game. For someone who have not played Jedi, is hard to think how frustrating is for some that you can get jumped at any time and screw YOUR GAME EXPERIENCE! I mean, cool, BH want to hunt Jedi, go ahead, but I dont want to be part of their content, and then be punished for it!!


I mean Jedi right now is the only profession that gets punished for playing the game, why dont other professions lose XP too? Why not, if a rifleman miss a shot, lose 10000 XP, I mean after all they are marksmen! They cant miss!, if a Pikeman uses a sword, remove 200 XP per second! Why are they supposued to be using a weapon they are not supposued to use. If you are a TKM, the moment you wear armor you lose all your skills back to novice, I mean it makes sense!

Hell, if a chef fails at cooking a suffle perma kill him!


I know im over reacting here, but I would like to play the game I pay for and just be able to give what BH want and continue what I want to do, and no punishment for that.


You see where Im trying to get here?

Jedi have whined down permadeath to only losing xp if a BH kills you and BH's cant even see your name anymore. I would suggest keep the whining up and you will get the xp loss taken away altogether.

If we win we get a PvP rating.


Im way over that risk vs reward crap with this game, all I get is risk and no reward.

I kill 20 krayts, I get the risk to be killed by either the krayts ora BH, but what do I get? A few slicing tools.

I kill 20 NPCs to get crystals to try to make a better lightsaber, I risk to be killed by either those NPCs or a BH, plus I get tons of visibility from them. What do I get? A bunch of wooping credits and 1 unit of rice.


Oh and I do can handle, no other reason I have been playing all this time, but its not just about winning and loosing, but to make thesystem even (and fun at the same time). The moment they made it so a side has everything to lose, while the other has nothing to lose, the system became a failure.
