im not saying that we should nerf vets or sabers or post-cu jedi should be given a load of prems/flawless pearls, but if i spend a year getting pearls/crystals and spend over 100 mil on them (which i have almost spent and still have a 502 dmg 28 fc saber) i want some chance to get a decent saber

The fact is, even if we put in all the hours that our pre-cu counterparts did, we still have a much smaller chance of getting the same kinds of tunes because the best we can possibly get is a "quality" crystal

So rather than trying to improve your saber you would like to see SOE nerf all of those that did try and succeded.

Brilliant.

im not blaming the vets, i just think that a reset where like 5% of the pearls/crystals were bumped up to premium/flawless rank so we could have a better chance at being equal to our pre-cu counterparts




OMG....You say you're not blaming the vets,but you would love to swing a nerf bat around and penalize them for all their hard work & time they put into their sabers......Get real Young one

Its the price you pay for getting a Jedi in 3 weeks.

Damn, I wish SOE gave us such a present back when I was grinding.


The respec was a HUGE gift from SOE and the noob Jedi just stand around with their hands out asking for MORE.







Agreed & BTW,i love that last line as it rings soo very true

no, i don't want to swing the nerf bat, read what i write not what you see

i just want prems/flawless to actually be available for post-cu jedi, i dont support that crap about not being able to adk sabers, i just want to be able to get a saber equal to that of pre-cu jedi IF I DO THE SAME EFFORT

if i don't work as hard, i don't expect a saber as good

once again, read what i write, not what you see

This has been addressed,was it not?It was stated that they won't drop ingame like they use to & will most likely become rare(really rare),high end loot,possibly from Quests & won't be farmable is what i thought was said....


You state you should be able to get a saber equal of a pre-cu Jedi "If" you do the same amount of effort.Well,have you been hunting for months and slayed hundreds of krayts or elders or DJK/DJM in this game yet?Whats been your highest tune post CU?What the stats on your saber if you recall?Have you given up on hunting krayts after only maybe killing a couple hundred?


BTW,on our server,folks just don't hunt Krayts as much as i seen pre-CU & i'm sure it's like that on most others where some have hunted and maybe taken down 60 or so krayts and then just give up & turn to here

no, i haven't wasted my life away trying to get an amazing saber but i have spent all the time i'm not grinding looking for SEA's, crystals, pearls or credits so i can get more

i have spent almost 60 milish on pearls and crystals

and i still have a 502 dmg sber

that's a little bit more than bad luck

Who said anything about you having to devote your life to a game to hunt for this stuff?Your the person that said if you spend as much time as the others,then it should be possible to have a saber equal to those from Pre-CU,however that clearly isn't the case and that is exactly why you typed in bold "IF" in that other post.


The hunt i was on with friends lasted maybe 40 minutes where they got a couple of pretty good tunes that i spoke of in the other post.If you're not willing to put in the time & spread it out like 40 min here on this day and the same a couple days after,then that's your own fault for not hunting for them,not SOE

sure. I'll give up my pre-cu premiums, as soon as some one pays back the 40mil+ spend on pearls?!






Dunno about on your server.. on mine40mil would buy me exactly 2 premiumpearls, if I'm fortunate. I don't mind spending a year to loot enough premiums to get a perfect saber. Right now that's just not possible -- all the vets flaming here are being deliberately obtuse to protect their saber advantage when the FRS comes back, they don't seem to have the cojones to want to fight unless they have a massive advantage.



The SWG Forums. You will never find a more wretched hive of
catassery and buttmonkeyism. We must be cautious.

If the pre-cu pearls had been nerfed to crap like every other nice weapon was, they'd be asking for them to drop again too. So don't sweat the hate, it'll get "balanced" in the end somehow. And before I get flamed, my template isn't even going to have a saber so I could really care less.
