Thread: 31 tunes -synopsis of results
The BH boss marks are not hard at all, I've killed dozens upon dozens of 35k double gold chevron marks, and have never even came close to being killed by them.

i believe they are working on a solution on how to properly implement them into the game. krayts as they are now are too easy to farm and when they were very high levels would one-hit kill you. they'll figure something out..i wouldnt worry to much bout that. i know crappy sabers suck..just hang in there. i would venture to guess that the younger ones will have it much better off in the end, though i know its hard to see atm.
Not enough people are making a fuss about the AI improvements due in the future. This could be the key to finally having good loot return.
As it stands now, only BH Boss marks, and very few mobs such as the Dark Adepts and Black Sun mobs have been balanced to anywhere near a "fun combat" level. Everything else in the game is either insanely easy (all NS) or impossibly hard and boring (DJM, really high end Krayts). Once mobs become more like the current BH marks, the game will be less easy to "beat" and therefore loot will have some value again.

Tuned 23 good pearls and 8 fair crystals.
Best tune 96 -.25 -6fc(good pearl)
Three tunes over 90 damage(pearls)
5 tunes over 80 damage(pearls)
All fairs tuned to total crap-I have had some luck with these before but not tonight.
Tuned at a force shrine while meditating with the paddy robes on.
nice post. i think however that the "tune at shrine" rumor is mistaken. i was farming crystals (thats right farming, sue me) and i was tuning as i looted . after about 10-15 "good" crystals i got a tune 101 -6. also it is the only "good" crystal to make it in my saber, the rest are fair. crystal stats: 95 -4 101 -6 84 -7 78 -2 (the 78-2 has a -.22 speed or it would have ended up in the trash).

Hehe, first time I tried this old rumour, pre CU, I got a 50/50 -9FC and I was convinced it was true. But 15 or so premium tunes later, and one got to -2/-2 0FC....so pretty sure it doesn't help
Otherwise, nice post. Too many of the crybaby jedi here moan that good tunes are impossible. I dunno about anyone else, but +90 tunes sound good to me
not when you consider that most pre-cu jedi are packina set of 120+ -9 sabers.. thus often outdamaging post -CU jedi by 100pts or more. And we wont discuss the SAC cost on those sabers... this time. Pre-cu jedi may have tuned dozens of pearls to get their perfect sabers... but we post CU will likely tune hundreds if not thousand to get anywhere NEAR the damage they put out.
See, for a little perspective, I do pretty darn well in 1v1 combat... with ANYONE... i dont always win and sometimes get beaten in short order.... BUT when a pre-cu jedi can hot a master defender 4 times and he's incapped... while running aura AND healing and buffed.. and doped up.... something is just plain wrong.
We NEED those pearls to drop again. And we need to adjust the HAM and force cost of SABER attacks as well.
I tuned over 100 crystals and 30 pre-cu pearls (mostly prems and flawless) to get my saber even decent, nowhere even near perfect. I think mine was at 476 with 9 FC(ohiv and cyph had close to 500dmg saber if im not mistaken). Also, remember that every pre-cu jedi knight HAS grinded longer and harder than you so get over the pearl drop issue. YES it sucks and yes I feelfor you! It sucksthat youare severly gimped but comeon! let this dead horse lie!

ARISE! ye old horse, from yer demise!
I can't i just can't.... it's one thing to think some things are broken.. and if its broken for EVERYONE you can find work arounds or a balance... but when something is broken that affects a specific group, it should be addressed immediately.. Such as our speed mods, such as the Premium drops and half a doen other things.
Alot of you nay sayers aren't REALLY listening. The reall issue on pearls isnt that we have to tune a thousand to get a good tune. We all know theres no 'science' to tuning. the issue is that with premiums, you would VERY LIKELY not have to tune anywhere NEAR as many to get a good saber... Pre-CU jedi HAD the oppurtunity to loot those pearls/crystals. Post CU does not.
Pre-cu Jedi also have Sabers which a much lower HAM cost and faster speed than post CU can evr make, even with perfect resources. You were a JEDI first, so what? I've been here since August of '03. And i doubt theres is much more you know about thi game than i. Pre-CU bounty hunters are on par with post CU BH. same for EVERY profession except jedi. You will not find a pre-cu Jedi that has an advantage over a post CU BH in terms of the equipment they can aquire for their profession.
So covet your distinct advantage, whether by nerf, balance, revamp or whatever word you choose to use, eventually pre-cu jedi will be brought inline with post -cu.. especially when the frs returns. Your advantage is simply too great, hence un-balanced.
So for your sakes, you better hope they bring US up to your level of equipment, because the alternative is for you to be brought down to ours... which, i'm sure you'd discover, is not where you want to be.
