How are we supposed to keep a low profile when the missions require combat with NPCs which generates vis?

We have a new expansion that has some cool quests. While not exclusive to Jedi it has a story which certainly gives me a RP opportunity. The tired old "then stay off the terms" bullsnot doesn't fly. I have a full template Jedi so I'm supposed to live the life of Obi-Wan and kill an occasional Bol for fun? KMA

I decided I wanted to check out the Avatar platform finally and enjoy that little story thread. Any idea how to do that without getting on the terms brightboy? You say that we should just play our alts? My Jedi's alt is a Master Musician/MCM. Problem is thanks to the wonderful level system she is a CL55 and not very survivable on Mustafar. I can help a group with her but I want to enjoy the stories with my Jedi. My other alt is a Master Ranger/MBH. Yep I'll probably do the quests with him too but I still want to play my Jedi. My main? Skor is a CL1 crafter. I can't even make trips to my tent outside Coronet with out being one shot incapped INSIDE MY FREAKIN GD TENT! Thank you SOE for adding that spice to my crafting day.

My Jedi is my main combat toon. I've been a Jedi for only about 9 months and only had 1 bounty hunter attack. I RP light (i.e. carebear for the Court-Jester crowd) Jedi and I refuse to duel in public. I do not wear robes but when I've been doing quests I do carry my small black lightsaber in hand just in case the inevitable BH strikes. However, I will then do whatever is necessary to escape and evade the fight. Why? Um isn't that what a smart Jedi in hiding should do? Rather than stay and fight in public and gain more notice from the empire I choose to run and mess with the BHs head. If I can manipulate the situation to my advantage I may fight but on my terms not the BHs. However, doing all that on Mustafar will be a large challenge to say the least. It tends to be a rabbit trap for the Jedi. One way in, one way out.

Anyway, back to the thread topic: The current buggy, exploit ridden combat system is what Dy is complaining about. Dy has said repeatedly that he doesn't mind being hunted or PvP. But trying to enjoy the story of an expansion you paid for while being griefed is wrong. Every BH has known for weeks that this was going to be a Jedi killing field. SOE couldn't figure that out? Probably but they really don't care. Getting expansions out on marketing schedules is all that matters.

I haven't visited Mustafar yet since it's pretty much a lag-fest with every lootwhore spawn camping so they can sell stuff on the forums. I'll probably try it out this weekend and deal with the BH as necessary.




dude, hate to say it but havent you realised yet that the only reason jedi is in the game is to be content for bounty hunters? Do i like it? Nope. Is it the truth? Sure feels that way.






Too often players and the devs have a mindset that professions should be balanced with 1 on 1 pvp in mind. This mindset is ruining the game. The benchmark for balance should be determined by the role a profession plays in a group setting. As long as the current mindset continues we will never see uniqueness among the professions, nor will we ever see individuality within a given profession. We will never see the SWG universe expanded as the focus will only ever be balance pass after balance pass after balance pass.

Its quite simple, you knew the downfalls of being a Jedi when you became one, put up and shut up complaining about BH's coming for you because you got yourself on the terms.



Oh my god. I realy wish I was GOD. I'd strike down anyone who says this. This is so pathetically old it's just not funny. NO ONE KNEW WHAT JEDI WOULD BE LIKE WHEN WE BECAME ONE!

Dont you understand that? Jedi is unrecognisable to me now from when I started on the Jedi path, and so is the BH!

Sush boy.




I believe what Iyn said was that everyone who became a jedi knoew that they wouldbe hunted by BHs if they were on the terms. The fact that certain skills are different now is irrelevant. Even with the changes to jedi and BHs and SL ive seen many many jedi beat "FOTM" templates so if you cant, maybe you should learn how to. Or.. stay off the terminals.

Miz, watch what you say. People are very sensitive on these forums.



I sense a BH ganksquad.




--- Cancelled 24th November 2006
Reason: The lack of multiplayer pve content and Star Wars feel.
For 3 years I have tried to find excuses to stay in game but only the expansions offered me what I subscribed for in the first place: A multiplayer Star Wars pve experience with friends around the globe. I found friends but with almost no addition of pve content they dropped out one by one. Now it's my turn.

Oh I realize it. I just do everything I can to frustrate any BH chasing me. If I can find a way to turn the tables and make the BH MY content, I will.

Funny, but true story. You do know your bestest bud in the whole game says she is the sole reason Force Armor and Total Heal got changed.



I do not take credit for thoose changes, but I am ofcourse extremely happy they where finally made. And deep inside I do not believe you are too unhappy that thoose things where fixed. At least not if youre still a MHealer.

After the CU, most Jedi abilities where still not upgraded to work with the new system. It appears as if the Dev's have systematically rewritten power for power since then. Upgrading the code to the new system may be both a boon and a curse. For Force Armor and Total Heal it was a Boon. For Avoid Incap and Force Heal it was a curse.

If there's anybody to thank for this change, it was SonGouki for pushing for it. Beyond the correspondant I believe we are completely ignored, while our correspondant is only partially ignored.

Actually, you did take full credit for it. If you want, I can go back through all of your posts and find when you said it.


Edit - That is if the post wasnt deleted (which, I'm fairly confident it was).

i became jedi knowing full well that bh went with it. anyone here not know bh and jedi went hand and hand in this game? your whinning about losing the only risk left to jedi, just how much more nerfing do you want?

I liked my bh visits but at the moment its not fair...the planet is poorly thought out for forced PVP and it allows one prof to grief another...and that's just stupid for a company to do to paying customers....I SAID TURN OFF XP LOSS AND GAIN on Mustafar ONLY!!!!!


I'm glad you were aware of the jedi risks..because you certainly were unaware of what you didn't read that I posted to start off this thread...!

I don't think he's 'missing' your point. I don't think he looks like an ass for not articulating it in a way you understand, any more than you look like an ass for not understanding. I think hes trying to tell you he doesn't feel XP loss should be limited to certain planets. It should be all encompassing. Kash was a luck out if anything and it was more because they had issues with the droids working there. Was more shut off due to being an annoyance, than trying to give Jedi a safe haven. The fix isn't real high priority, so its still fairly safe. Not going to happen with Mustafar. They said from the get go Mustafar was fair game. Use your 'alt' (what should actually be your main), go in a group or simply stay off the terms.




"Fair game?" LMAO if it was fair game...there wouldn't be a thread here...enuff said.

Why because some Jedi can't deal with it? Other seem to be able to.

And I'm not entirely sure you understand what 'fair game' means, fair game means 'open season'.

Turn off the xp loss for bh death, or turn off visibility altogether until you fix this bloody mess. The Designers of SWG are griefing people with their new content by allowing all the junk that is going on to continue. I won't rehash, only a completeidiot wouldn't know what these issues are by now.


Let us enjoy the new expansion as much as everyone else...or at the very least don't penalize us for it.


I used to enjoy bh visits, kept the game enjoyable and kept me on my toes. Now it's a joke and you at SOE know it's a joke...turn it off NOW and let me play the content I paid $30 for!



Dy



P.S. On the Loot Cloak and species restrictions...considering that NPC Ithorians have been seen wearing them...Bite me SOE! You won't respond to the 100's of posts and dozens of threads on this issue...yet you wave it in our faces....just plain sick.







*Added this from further down seeing as a bunch of people seem to want to turn this into something it's not*


For those few who don't seem to undestand or misread my post...


1. I liked the forced PVP BH hunting Jedi scenario....I said it kept me on my toes...I even had fun the night I got 5 bh hits in 90mins...


2. I think Xp loss should be turned off...as well as Xp gain...on Mustafar...or turn off Jedi Marks on Mustafar...and Xp gain for Jedi...


3. There are just way to many issues with the Forced PVP system at the moment...and allowing griefing of new content by SOE is wrong


4. Try and read before you open your mouth and put your foot in...


5. New loot clothing with Prof mods should be wearable by all.



What I didn't say...


1. There should be no visibility at all.


2. Mustafar should become the new grind planet


3. I hate bh visits and don't want any


4. I had no idea what it meant to be a Jedi before I went Jedi.



The people who jump in here and turn the thread around to become something else make me laugh, how self-serving. Most reasonable people can understand that the forced PVP aspect is in shambles at the moment. There are so many issues that are well defined whether people agree or not...what I was saying was turn it off for the new content....the BH can still get his mark and pay..and the Jedi can then just go back to enjoying the new content....


To the guy I told to beat it...ya beat it...out of the thread that is...that first post of yours in here clearly showed you either didn't read the original post all the way through or you didn't understand it.
