Thread: Discuss: Current Levels of Negative Jedi XP
All part of the SOE jedi purge, their way of thanking us for being loyal customers. We paid, we played, and they ....... us hard..
Nice company..
To be perfectly honest, the whole balance of risk versus reward is totally out of whack these days. We have penalties that when combined, sure as hell aren't proportionate to our supposed 1.5 strength.
Changes are most definately needed.

With the dumbing down over Jedi since the start of the CU, I think we have a valid argument for a severe cut in the amount of negative XP you can get into. Of course it can't be removed completely, otherwise Jedi will just lie down and take a death when a Bounty Hunter attacks - or agree to take a cut of the bounty to not put up a fight.

We are not 1.5 times stronger all our good moves get nerfed .

xp loss, forced pvp etc need to go away.
How about a negative max of0 and a positive max of infinite. Serioulsy, why not turn off negative xp once someone has alloated all their sp to Jedi? Why make someone regrind -10 mil xp if they need or want to respec. What is the logic begind negative xp once you are done with your template. Take it away for full template Jedi, and maybe more of them would be willing to stand and fight BH. Just a thought.
1. Not all jedi care to or want to put up with 24 7 pvping from bh.
2. Not all people who want to play a jedi want to be forced into special forces like 24 7 pvping.
3. How I like to play should not force other players into anything.
4. How you like to play should not force me into playing a certian way.
5. Jedi in swg are nothing like how powerfull jedi where in the movies.
6. Jedi in the game are not the best at anything really unless they have items that can not drop now days which seams really unfair.
7. Dear dev team do you think its fun to get gang raped by 8 people and loose the time it takes to earn 10 million jedi exp ?
8. This is a game its supposed to be fun !!! why do you think so maney more people are playing wow ? Because nothing rots and at max level you can pvp 24 7 and not loose anything but maby some ego and you earn rewards for being good at pvp.
9. Rewards for the victor would be a lot better then penalties for the looser. !!! People loved the realm vs realm rewards in DAOC.
10. Give the jedi a reason to pvp and to be true to the movies let jedi hunt bh like they hunt us 
11. Let jedi who want to become pve only and not be forsed into full time ganking by bh and full time pvp status.
12. In its current state a lot would would like to go jedi dont because of all the things that are forced onto them endless exping endless pvping unless they are in their house , Huge death penalties, and really not more power then other clases. 
killing the fun factor of becomming a jedi. Rember over 90 % of online gamers do not like7 forced pvp.
Sure let jedi who want go full pvp .
Sure let jedi hunt bounty hunters like they did in the movies.
Sure let jedi become pve only if they want.
Sure let the game be fun for all types of players its a game if you do you will see a lot more come here.
I dar say the number one appeal to swg is to be a jedi but the way its done now most casual and most online gamers wont stay long enough or put up with the gank squads and forced pvp with such high penalties and no rewards for the forced pvp imposed on them.

I am at -4 million xp since i became knight pre cuand have not lost any since they took out death penalty xp.
good friend of mine unlocked pre-pub 9 with the whole holo grind. never made it to knight but did up with -10million XP
finaly choose to grind out of that hole to at least complete his temp and is currently at -8mill xp i think.
