What's wrong with Kessel? Pvp zone right? Does that just mean you suck? =)


Starship combat is the ultimate level playing ground... when you go in, you go in with whatcha got and that's it. No skills, no stats, no stacking, no BS... right? I've never done any PVP in space yet, but, it's along that logic I believe.







I take it you have not been keeping up on the current news, then again maybe you just wanted to flame.
Its not about kessel or the last mission being hard or needing a group, its about trying to do a PVE mission in a PVP zone and getting attacked by PVPer.


And to the original poster, I dont think they are doing it on purpose.
I have been playing this game from day one, and I can tell you they just dont have a phucking clue what they are doing.
really Jedi wanted maybe 5 things changed about there classes, they never wanted a revamp.
Every thing that we wanted could have been done in a hotpatch.
Then you got a revamp to unlock Jedi, people wanted this so bad.
You traded one grind for another, no difference between the two.
Know we got the great going to fix everything combat revamp coming up,
yea right I bet this really fixes anything.


But I am picking up EQ2 myself, and if it turns out to be any good.
I will be packing up my houses, and waving good bye to my friends.





Well I think that I made it clear I had never gone there. How was I supposed to know there was a mission there? I'm 2-3-3-3 and stuck, so I'm not doing space right now. I can control when I want to so, when I don't feel like space, I don't play space. That simple, really.

It's total and complete ineptitude by the DEVS. Classic geek mentality having no clue as to how to run a PvP game and at the same time keeping the people running missions safe and happy.

This JTL fiasco is a sinking ship and hundreds are jumping overboard as I write this. Fix this mess or well you know, you'll be in the unemployment line.

Quit the game already. Please! I long for the day when i can come to the forums and read about cool discussions and speculation and people posting questions for how to do something without filtering through the dumb ass petition of the day and "god devs, im 15 and i think you suck" threads.

Go. Now. Dont look back.

Yeah. It's the ultimate playing ground in the way that Anakin Skywalker brought balance to the force.


One shot. One kill. No skill. Just whoever is lucky enough to turn on the other player faster.



Oh yeah, by the way... Imperial ships turn faster.

Goodbye my love, goodbye. Losing ground is what it takes if you really want to fly.

You know it utterly amazes me how when people can't play the game to the standard of other players they blame the game or say the game is broke or the game needs to be even'd out.... HMMM maybe if you are dieing alot then you shouldn't be there yet or you aren't as good as the other people killing you. STOP BLAMING THE GAME FOR YOUR INABILITY TO PLAY IT.

Please tell me what skill is required to take one shot to kill somebody. Perhaps if they made PVP as challenging as taking out a Level 5 TIE it would be fun. But to spend 3 hours doing a >>> PVE <<< mission, and to have that time spent turned to a waste with one shot from a 15 year old without a life is not my idea of fun. I am in a LVL 4 Freelance ship, I stand no chance against a similar Imp or Rebel ship that can turn much faster.

PWNED!



Sigh, must be a WoW/PvP/Griefer with that idiot response . Also WRONG... Ralph moron Koster is NOT on EQ2 team. He was promoted to oversee all mmorpg in general, but not specifically there running EQ2. EQ2 was being developed for 4+ years before Mr. Koster was moved up anyway so doubt he'd be able to screw it up.

Saying people suck isn't cool. Some people don't like PvP. I like PvE more than anything. Heck I just got done taking a 3 Teir B-Wing with my TIE/In and thought is was just straight up fun, he was hard to hit, hard to stay on, and had alot of armor. I didn't use any missiles ethier. The way JtL is going currently, yeah EQ2 is going to get alot of my time. I can't beat Cpt. Denner's first mission it's just way to tough.

Kessel becomes a PvE zone

Master Pilot Boxes can be attained without PvP

Ralph Koaster works for NCSoft and is making a game called Tabula Rasa.


Kessel as a PvP Area is the best idea the devs put into JTL. It would be ridiculous to assume you can just do a skillessgrind to master in an ACTION game like Jump to Lightspeed.
