Don't you think we get enough complaints about Jedi already? Do we really need another nerf because a few Jedi think the DWB belongs to them alone? Grow up people!




Training MOBs on other people purposefully is against the EULA. File a harassment ticket.




And filling in which name ? When you dont even know who the cloaker is you cant do anything LOL

And after seeing ppl abuse and harass with cloak it will definatley get a nerf...

So report them for kiting. Smugglers used to do the same thing with feign death and the kwis in the Geo caves, were you on the smuggler forums complaining about it then, asking for a feign death nerf? Or do you just wait for a Jedi to do something to whine? Report htem for kiting, regardless of what skill they are using.

omg, u know force runs out, cant stay down there forever (trust me i know). its not like u lose xp from dieing anymore, if SOMEONE is taking advantage then they should be reported, thats why there are csr's, not nerf a skill cause u think its unfair. plus u should read the eula before u go around miss quoting it, inless it takes third party software or the player is changing files/code its not a breach of the contract.


besides i think they have increased the force cost on cloak.

I can do the same training as an Enhancer, healer, Defender, Creature handler and Parwan nutricake, and probably a Dancer with some combat skills to get some good armor. Again it is the TARD that is training not the skill. Stop Nerfing based upon your dislike of a skill because your two on two fights end up with a couple of the opposing factions friends uncloaking on you. As for server issues with tards opening the coalbins again anyone can do it and run around and lose the aggro, Feign Death is working for this again too.

NERF THE TARDS NOT THE SKILLS




So your saying that with all of these professions, I can train 15+ Super Battle Droids onto another player without getting killed myself or even having a risk of getting killed? That is laughable and just a dumb statement.


Feign Death is a very bad example. Anyone trying to draw a train of NPCs in the DWB by using Feign Death would either be dead in seconds or have to use Feign Death instantly after agro and would not get very far.


As for force, you and I both know how easy it is to regen force in the DWB. Just train your agro on other players, and go to a spot without a spawn. And if your not doing anything else healing, aura, infusion, FR, using your saber, you can last a pretty good amount of time down there.


Cloak it broken and highly exploitable. There are many exploitable skills in the game. Why would you not want to fix them to make the game better? Or would they be taking away your exploit?

Is that it? I recently made some vette missions with my guild. Some needed the badge and others (like me) for the fun of it.


1st run: Everything like its used to be.

2nd run: "hundreds" of SBD near the loot-containers.

3rd run: "thousands" of SBD (I even crashed at the second box and a CSR had to worp me out because I couldnt load anymore, even after the 60 minutes)


The other day: same problem, tons of SBD.

So, I thought "my instance" is bugged. Made someone else leader: Same problem, even with a different mission...



Are there only x instances like on Kashyyyk?

So now cloak is an exploit? Again take a group down to the DWB or just go to any spawn of 15-20 bad things and train them for as far as you can to see how far you can get before you die, and btw remeber the DWB LOS is poor meaning those slow SBD's are following just not hitting often. Every example I used could train which is the bannable offense not the use of a skill. As for FD I was referring to the use of it to loot the bins like they used to. They run down, lose aggro as they run make it to the coal bin open it and FD, then lay there till it respawns the loot( I am not sure if they can still leave it open and just loot it or not.) I like the idea put forth about looting should decloak or interacting with NPC's that would make a lot of sense. I am still infavor of going after the TARDS as opposed to nerfing though.

WHAT?!?! Are you stupid or just playing stupid. It explicity states you must follow the 'Rules of Conduct'


"Harassment is defined as specifically targeting another player or group of players to harm or inconvenience them."


Training NPCs onto another group CLEARLY falls under this and IS, repeat IS a violation of the EULA.


Read before you speak.

Where in my post did I say cloak was an exploit. I clearly said Cloak is 'highly exploitable'. There is a distinct difference that is clear if you would take the time to read a post before flaming it.

This problem could be fixed so easily.


Supposedly Cloak like so many say is clouding the minds of those to make them not seen.


Why does it work on the droids? BD's and SBD's should be able to see a cloaked Jedi as they have no mind to cloud.


I am a Master Powers Jedi so no bias at all.


Now don't get this misunderstood and say well then Players can use droids to shoot at cloaked Jedi, Well NO Pet droids need your commands to direct them what to attack so if you don't know what to attack then you can't tell the droid either.


I don't want Cloak nerfed and this makes perfect sense.


DROIDS should be immune to Cloak.

Having NPC droids break cloak would be a good idea. Also interacting with objects in the world should break cloak as well. I'm a Jedi too guys. I hate calling for any skill, Jedi or non-Jedi, to be nerfed but there is a problem with cloak and the DWB is highlighting it perfectly.


I've had my share of skills nerfed. I'm Master Defender, AI was nerfed. One Alt was a smuggler. Dropped it because my root was nerfed. My other alt is a Master Armorsmith. It's so buggy I can't even make a full suit of armor come out the same color.


I just want other people to stop ruining my gameplay. Some would say ban the exploiter/griefer. I'm all for it but you can't get a CSR all the time. If it's doable people will do it.


The CSRs are aware of the issue and have taken action on at least one occasion. Tiggs is aware of it. The Devs are aware of it. If people would respect other players this would not be an issue. But it is and it must be stopped.

Interacting with objects should not Break Cloak we are still physically there.


I didn't state it in my thread but the BD's and SBD's on the vette and DWB should be able to see you no problem and can hit, damage, and kill you. They are notpeople with minds that can be clouded they are machines that have been programmed. This is the same logic on why BASE turrets can shoot you.


You trying to say that the force is some kind of computer hacking thing that can reprogram droids?


I don't know how they wouldcode this as cloak in it's current form is still buggy withHumanoid NPC's still being able to detect usbut not able to attack. They shouldn't aggro us at all. Droids however shouldn't be affected by this.


Player droids like I've said shouldn't be able to be used to attack cloaked Jedi who are cloaked because they would need to be directed on what to attack. Since the player isn't supposed to know anything is there then how do they explain that to the droid.


BH's and the Bomb droids are the only Exception IMO to attackable droids. They use droids to track a Jedi with the seekers. Those droids see the Jedi and give their location. The BH should be able to send the droid to the WP given and detonate it and cause damage. (Some Jedi claim this as an exploit but in the spirit of the skill it is not).
