more lies and contradictions....I'd feel better if they'd come out and say we want you to be as bored as humanly possible while you're out there in the wilderness hunting.

Interesting....even equipping the saber gives visibility.
so is it just the act of equipping, or if my saber is already equipped and i run through cnet (not like i would) then the terms would never hear the end of me? O.o

You know, I just happened on the boards today after the patch.
Things I did differently:
I came out of "hiding" and grouped with a fellow Jedi.
wore my robe/LS in a small public area. (some remote planet OP with a few PCs and NPCs)
I um, yeah that was it.
Also today, being a TKM I killed off many many NPCS today cause I need new force crystals to replace my soon to be dead ones. Oh, I killed them with a VK and my Jedi robe on. guess I should have changed as well.
what I dont do:
Go to town with LS/Robes on.
Show off my pretty force powers in cities.
What I normally do.
I hunt in remote areas.
I solo
I avoid people in some bizzare forced antisocial attitude.
I stop combat and jump on my Bike as soon as a player "dot" apears on radar.
So today I escaped my first Bounty hunter. I guess hunting NPC's in any shape and form, even in self defense and in "street clothes" is simply bad for you.
Now can we, fellow Jedi, group together if we are in the same guild/faction without gaining visibility?????

Wait Wait Wait,
JustG, if the act of equipping a lightsaber gains visibility, if you want to win some points with the jedi community, remove this one thing on the visibility scale.
With the changes in the game since Publish 9, this simply doesn't work. Given the fact of the Weapon Change timer, a vast majority of Jedi Defense comes in the form of Lightsaber Toughness which only works if you have a saber equiped, and you give the BH'sgain first strike capability, the choice for a jedi then either is a) Don't equip your saber and die all the time or b) constantly have your visibility go through the roof.
It just seems like an outdated or flawed game mechanic given what else the class must do to survive on a daily basis.
Just a suggestion though.

They should make new quests (like projectdead eye)so people would stop worrying about jedi so much.
That way people actually have something to do, they won't whine as much as they do and prolly a lot of people will do such quests to get like enhanced weapons or nice armor attachments or so which will "control" the jedi population at the same time.

HELLO!
Cant you people read.!You can equip your saber without getting vis. Will be 1 times 0 if no npcs or players are in range. (use to be 64 meters) lets say saber equip is worth 1.5. now equiping it with a faction member will imply that force modifier. Now say using a force power is worth 10. It will be 10 times X ='s vis # So yes you can run around for 3 weeks and not get vis.. but its damn near impossible

Nice someone that actually can read and comprehend what was said. Not try to twist it around to what they think it says.

i just want to know if you monkey writing code got his banner today.. cause you cant tell me that a person actually came up with this idea....
Are you people over there reading what you write... i mean seriously ..... you guys are destroying this game... and dont give me that bs about were whinning .... with what were going through we have a damn right to.
Granted its not easy to make changes to please everyone.. but am sure if you made changes in this game that were right on everyone here would give you guys credit for trying...
But your not trying to improve jedi .... your just trying to force people back into do basic stuff in game... or JTL....
Let us decide what we want to do .... and thats the problem in a nut shell your trying to take away or right to choose.
Let me decide if i want to play my jedi today or go to JTL or even do some in game stuff but dont F the game up to the point where i dont even want to play it anymore....
I've been here a long time before mounts and bikes and before the startport wait became 5 min.. and you had to burst run every where so dont give me that garbage i know... i've seen the game get worst.... and its gotten that way with each Publish you guys put out... you destroyed CH ... destroyed PvP... destroyed Jedi... destroyed hunting Nightsister and other fun stuff in game.... all in all .....
YOU HAVE DESTROYED SWG....
you guys can pat each other on the back for that one...

JustG-
So just the ACT of equipping the lightsaber generates visibility or just having it equipped? Without armor im toast if i get caught without a saber in my hands.
Quoting myself.....
On another note, I hate it when they drop bombs on the boards and then walk away from them.

PVP yep dead, people pound on each other for 30 minutes and finally drain out 20hp.
CH.. this aint Everquest...
Hunting NS - how did that get killed? Adding specials, weapon swaps back into the game totally enhanced the fun and added serious new depth and challenge. NS use force powers now and even Medium AP scyth blades. Up till that fix, I could kill any NS except an Elder and the queen. I could take on 3 stalkers, 2 spell weavers and a protector and come out alivewithout novice medic skills. BORING. Now, I fear protectors, two stalkers come close to being able to kill me. Now I have to think before I attack, now I have to circle them, find the weakest one, and wait till they're alone... Now I have challenge in fighting NS. This was SOE's greatest moment and triumph.
But this is not a thread about how SOE keeps killing SWG and how we keep playing it and dont cancel our accounts which would force them to get their act together.
THis is about that Botched Jedi visibility system.
I have TKM skills, I should be able to put on armor, equip a VK and kill all day long and not gain visibility. In essence I'd be living a double life and adding a new dimension of fun to the game...
