Easy way to do that, give visibility from group members again, and have serious losses when you get killed from a BH. Otherwise, solo'ing won't happen. The dev's backed out of the Group Exp changes, they won't do it again.






What Bounty Hunters are scared? scared they wont be able to group with jedi and hit them from behind?

I always found the idea of the solo grind perfect for the jedi proffession, it fits the idea jedi should be unseen. I still solo grind 90% of the time it suits me to do things at my own pace and not to be rushing from mission to mission spinning for xp.


I think a simple adjustment to the way xp is given so its spread from cl 1-80 would enable jedi to level in places out of sight and i never understood why the xp was tightend to within 10 cl its not slowed the gain process its just made all jedi HAVE to use terms in a player city to get any xp


Along with this an adjustment in our pvedam modifier would be nessecary (however small) to enable the soloing of wild spawns for those with low skills / sub standard sabres


I do appreciate the ability to be able to group with my jedi and non jedi freinds and not gain visability but i think we need to be able to solo, if the spawnswere paying any kind of decentxp it would be fantastic to dissapear and grab a quet few hun k without going back and forth to the same spot for missions

Solo grinding won't work in the CU system, and even less now that the AI has been put on crack, spamming specials at a rate no player can.

The CU by design requires groups because of the CL system which bascially turns the mobs into meatsacks over a multiplier.

Although now that I have MLS/healer 4000/defender 2040/enh 3402 I can do well on my own with bol lairs. But as it is now you can only do this with some defense stacking. The group thing takes away from what the jedi pop should be doing now and that is training in secrecy.

Some people were tripping over themselves with giddiness when they found out they don't have to wait in line to get a doc buff, they could just, "go right out and play..." Hold your horses, punchy. You just traded what your are going to stay in line for, but you are still standing in line. Now you get to wait for a hunting group, then you get to wait for them to get their act together, then you get to wait by the lair for everyone to be "ready," and you get to wait, and wait, and wait...


I'd rather have doc buff lines back. After a doc buff, you had over 3 hours of not having to wait again...






/agree


Not only is there a wait till everyone is ready but, then you also have the people that join groups to gogrind then, before even 1mission is finished like 3people leave. That irritates me, I mean whats the point? I can understand if a RL situation makes it necessary to go but this is not the case most of the time.


I have to work and all so, Im not on 12hrs a day. When I log on to grind I want to get to it and GO GO GO....lol. So, when the group falls apart after every 2 or 3 missions, kinda defeats my stride.


Even if they gave lightsabers a PvE damage bonus as a jedi perk when solo. Maybe it should be removed upon grouping so there wouldnt be jedi groups mauling the DWB and such. It also shouldnt be in affect during PvP. (Although our current overall damage for some of us is very POOR at the moment).


Yea, I liked the solo grind preCU. I unlocked postCU and I wish I could grind my jedi out in the wilds of Dathomir or elsewhere. Would make me feel more like a jedi in hidding. Plus make some of us less visible to the public.

Rather than cause group members to give visibility again, or reinstitute xp on cloning (which actually discourages solo grinding), it would be a far better idea to remove the XP cap for Jedi so that we gain XP at normal rates when playing solo, BUT also divide the amount of Jedi xp we gain by the number of people in the group if we choose to group up.


In other words, take the "group xp system" that everyone complained about and apply it only to Jedi, but only after removing the XP divisor that causes Jedi XP to be 1/5th of normal.


That would bring back the solo grind in an instant, for Jedi only.

It's pointless, boring, and unrewarding.

I wish, Why do you think wow has so maney millions more suscribers ? Because you can solo their easy to max level. BIg loot is uber guild still but you are not forced into grouping and pvp like a jedi is here.
