Thread: Heard a nasty VIS rumor can some one confirm that this is not true

hum... lets see. most of those grinding Jedi you mention were pre-cu grinders.. So yes they are correct. Post CU however, note that POST CU, anything that is not grouped with you will give you vis. And if you are a grinding paddy why would you want to take the chance that you 'know' so much? Actually I don't care about any of you non-templated Jedi anymore, go get vis please. Say hello to the nice BH'es that show up to perma snare your stupid self.Until the devs give us proof why would you want to take a chance?

POST CU BIKES GIVE VIS. need proof? INFUSE THE BIKE..........
Oh ok, so 1,000,000,000 jedi here that grind with bikes out, and no BH isn't proof, but infusing your bike is?
Crazy much?
Maybe because it's a rumor started by bh that want jedi to store their bikes when they stop?
We run a grind group in my city and have several fresh paddies... we grind every nest with vehicles left out and to date all the bh that come come for the older jedi who kill the npc's.....Not the new paddies who are just grinding nests running a low vis game....
JustG is a Developer but he hasn't posted on the forums lately.

Almost forgot....there used to be a bug where unequiping or equiping a lightsaber caused instant viz.
that is not a bug.
JustG stated that doing that very thing will cause visbility. This is one of the few ways to get it without using force... (which is a rule of thumb).
Ahh...I've never seen any developers post this. Who is JustG? The developers have been evasive regarding which action ensures visibiliy while alot of common sense comes into play.
Equiping a lightsaber at a starport seems like an obvious way to say "Hey everyone, I'm a Jedi!!!"

Heard a nasty rumor that not jsut NPC's and none groupe players are giving vis now but even creatures and vehicles are helping the BH's to make an extra 200k +-. If this is true sounds like another Ploy by SOE to kill the Jedi Profession.
On a side note is there a way to check how much vis you have??
Actually you have to loose for teh BH to get his 200k. ![]()
If my bike can report me to the emperor, then it must be a thinking creature. Therefore it must have feelings....maybe if you guys treated your bikes with a little respec it wouldn't run off and turn you in. End the inhumane treatment of vehicles!
lol

Bac confirmed that bikes give vis in a post a month or two ago.
I also heard that corpses give vis aswell
paste the post fron Bac in the forms
I did half of my template post CU with my bike out. NO BHs. The first BH that came after me was after I was fully templated and was grinding Canyon Corsair NPCsfor cystals for two weeks straight.
Facts are I grinded in solo up to full template groupped with my pet and with my swoop out and near me all the time and no BH came for me. Same as this guy I started killing npcs after I finished my template (o man how sweet it was after dozillions animals ...) and I was on the BH's terminals.
So, to the new ignorant jedi, stop complaining and whining and go on grinding.
Opith
Imo, all discussions of visibility are pure hearsay. There is no way to know what gives vis or how much it gives because THERE IS NO FORMAL SYSTEM TO CHECK YOUR VISABILITY *hint hint*
I wouldnt mind going to my trainer and selecting "Check my visibility!" or typing /checkVisibility ... but I think there should definatly be a system to know. We're jedi for goodness sakes, we should be able to sense this sort of thing!
Any jedi power you use withing 32 meters of an NPC will give you Vis..don't equip or un-equip your LS or robe within 32 meters of an NPC either. Follow these guidelines and you are good to go.
Yes...that means you can have your saber/robe equiped in front of NPCs, just dont un-eqiup or equip within 32 meters of them.
Naturally this means within 32 metersof Player Characters also.
If you keep force run 1 on all the time it creats no visibility also.

I would grind with vehicles and get BH every 2 days.
I grinded without vehicles and haven't seen a BH since. No joke.
I'm almost thinking that vehicles alone give visability.
