I get hit by BH an hour when I'm on the terms. I can't kill any of them. Even the biggest losers out there. I have all of my skill points used but I'm 2 boxes away from my Powers template. It was a run and hide template but with 9 BH an hour is a run and logout template at which point I log into my BH which is bad to the bone and I don't have the CM?BH combo. He is a squad leader/BH which in most Jedi AOE groups I'm asked to tone down my attacks.

All I see is a profession that is unbalanced beyond belief. Seeing that a few other professions are getting fixed jedi are currently not the focus point of the "fixing" progress and in many ways we shouldn't be. Everytime someone posts a comment about Bounty Hunters overpowering post-CU jedi I hear many of the same weak ended answer probably by the very players taking advantage of this problem. Don't get on the terminals,get better gear. you must stink at pvp, don't play a jedi then. All these comments are doing is down grading many players in the game over the people who probably do not have the same situation occuring to them. I no longer see a reason for the jedi profession to be such a difficult grind other then the second character slot. Yes, its even been addressed that jedi were not balanced out when pushed to the CU probably the main cause of our problems. I do feel sorry for many of those Post-CU jedi having major problems just surviving against the seemingly endless amount of Bounty Hunters that 1) can out heal a jedi 2) did not take forever to reach max template 3) didn't have to spend their entire savings to buy their gear. All I can say for those that feel cheated is to try to hang on and pray for some fixes or changes for the better. Kind of iriony....we are in thecurrent phase of "The New Hope".Lets hope it happens before its to late.

Smart @ss question but not smart enough.Because it was the only thing in the game I hadn't done. Plus I am an old school holo grinder. Pre-pathetic era Jedi.People like you might get your wish with your questions like: "If Jedi suck so much why are you one?" And my favorite, I know you're just raring to ask: "If you hate this game so much why don't you quit?"My answer is yeah, 75% of my server already did and I'm out Nov. 1st unless Trials of Obi Wan is a miracle. Which it won't be. I've given them enough time, they give content then take it away. (FRS, Pearls, Loot). They break things that don't need to be broken and don't fix issues that are simple, and I won't deal with that anymore.As for you. Consider this: Soon you won't have anyone else to be smart @ss to, to ask why they don't leave, you'll be left alone, and if you're still playing this game at that point, up until they close the game, well then, you're one of the suckers born every minute.Do you really think all the vets that've been around as long as I have would be quitting left and right unless this game had hit rock bottom? Truth is, it hit rock bottom a couple Publishes ago and is just digging further down at this point. An expansion won't save this game. Nothing will save this game but a serious injection of $$$ and New Talent. Both of which we will not see in a game this old with so few subscribers as SWG has.Message Edited by LandonRyuu on 09-26-2005 12:48 AM

Jedi is the only thing I havn't really done, either. But I don't see how playing a frustrating profession like Jedi is a cure for anything. Personally, I agree with you that the game is beyond saving. It was made clear the second the Village entered. The new explansion is about the time I'm planning to quit, too.
Right now, the only thing keeping me in this game are my friends, and even they are looking for other games. PvP in this game is terrible. Combat in general sucks now. Not to say it was that great before the CU, but to think, when they could have performed a few tweaks to fix combat the turned this game in EverQuest: Galaxies.
But the question that makes me really think is that this board is full of people who scream about how they grinded away for a year on a class they hate and cannot stand, and they grip me as the standard PvP-Junkie. A Roleplayer doesn't care about Jedi strength, if they're roleplaying their Jedi, they don't duel everyone who walks too close to them. The only reason I can think of is that Counter Strike doesn't have Jedi.
By the way, if you actually fell for the Hologrind, I laugh.
Also, you can say "Ass". It's ok.

I am still here playing the game after two years, regardless of how weak Jedi is getting but there is one thing I do not do anymore and that is PvP. I only PvP as a perk once in a while when I am bored, but before the CURB I used to PvP everytime I logged on but now PvP is horrible and stupidly slow. I only play my Jedi to help my guild members or to just play around otherwise my main with swordsman is much better at most things in game. Many old timers has quit over the past few months, my friends list has grown much much smaller, I had originally planned to cancel about a month ago but some friends convinced me to stay a little longer but I do not know how much longer I can hold out.

Well Hasun.. let me tell ya.. you think that jedi are 1.5x stronger then normally profession i disagree but wont go into it. but you also believe that the 'gimped' jedi are the ones that suck at PvP. WE ARE FORCED TO PVP. Ok now lets say you dont like PvP.. you dont like fighting other people.. so does that mean you cant play your jedi? and you have to constantly get killed by those .. MBH/CMs who are stronger then most full temp jedi.. ive seen it happen millions of times. Point is we are forced to PvP, and those post-cu cant with the crap they are give.
Were you unaware that as a Jedi you may have to PvP?

I am not sure what you are getting at here, but considering a duel my usual moves are in exact order: kd recover, armor break, saber throw if kites, knock down, leg/head, power attack, /endduel. It usually lasts about 30 to a minute depending on how the opponment is. Before the curb, duels lasted a long time and was a real test regardless of dervish/saberthrow/healstate/stand spam, the heal state+stand timing actually required practice to time properly or you would never ever get up from the constant dizzy state landing on you from dervish.

I had one of those come after me this morning except he used an R3 bomb droid and wore 8200 armor with AB reduction and I still did him in 2 minutes. Granted I do have a nice pre CURB lightsaber, that guy would easily sweep any Jedi without a 700 damage lightsaber.

I had a BH come after me earlier with a template simular to above.... and let me just say, they are LETHAL!
His first move was some type of stasis move... he hit me with it, and I could NOT move at all in what seemed like forever.... He had time to pull his droid, sit down, load me up with every frigginDOT you can imagine, stand up, start firing before I could do ANYTHING... I mean I could not walk, could not attack, could not heal, NOTHING.... and by time I could finally move it was just long enough to get maybeone heal and two hits before it was over.
Being a MLS/MDEF/3000heal/0002enh, I hadhaven't hadmuch problems with BH's until recently, and now, it's as tho my temp is like a master brawler to the above BH template.
Bad thing is, I was in the process of trying to bank some xp to regrind my xp, but screw it...what's the use? Soon, we will be no stronger than a friggin meatlump regardlees the template.
