I agree with you about your views of what a Bounty Hunter should be Meyree.



If you think about about a characters skill points as their potential for growth, which they are, then it should be obvious that rewards are in order for those professions which are the most difficult to achieve. People what an Elite combat class to be competitive with a BH, and it just shouldnt be so. One third of their character's "potential" is used up, while 86% of our possible development went into becoming a human hunter. We should be badasses, and I think we are, but some fixes are in order.

It is based on the baby CL. It was changed a while back, but it was reverted back to XP based on baby CL.


Though I am not sure it has been proven, my theory is there is an CH XP cap placed on a pet's current CL. The higher the CL, the higher the cap is. That is a control to prevent a CH from joining a large group hunting Krayts, throwing a 1CL baby into the fight and getting 10,000 CH XP.


What you are most likely finding is by targeting stuff that has a way higher CL then your pets, that you are constantly hitting that cap. WIthout the cap, your 12CL Graul baby would technically be getting you more XP, but the cap is capping that pet at 800.


Cheers,


Juba

You know... I've been accused of being an SOE fan boy before.... I cut them a whole lotta slack in their process because I realize how complicated these sort of design issues are and progamming on this scale in general.


But I'm just stuck on this whole saber nerf thing. I really just can't seem to wrap my brain around it and what they were thinking.


Okay... lemme see if I have this right.


After Knight we continute to level up the council path by PvPing. PvP involves Jedi killing Jedi. Jedi have had their damage output reduced to 25% of what it was pre-revamp. Jedi have had their toughness/defenses increased by like a factor of 10. So... how are we suppoed to actually KILL the other Jedi? (Well I guess the smart ones will hire some G-TEFing CM's to do their dirty work for them. )


Not to mention get up to that level in the first place.... let's turn a 3 month major grind into a 6-12 month grind. See who makes it out of THAT with their sanity intact.


I'm just not seeing ANY sort of logical path in this.


I guess Jedi could perform at parties and shopping mall grand openings as entertainment. "Look Bobby! I can beat him with this hammer over and over again and he doesn't mind at all! Doesn't even flinch!" "But won't he get mad?""Who cares! He'll run out of force WAAAAY before that lightsaber actually HURTS me, besides my T21 does 5 times the damage his saber does anyway. "

Okay, every since they reduced the requirements for BH I have been trying to find a way to balance skills in carbineer and pistoleer, since I love both. I was hoping someone could help me out?

Are you into PvP? Choose additional pistol skills

Are you into PvE? I would choose Carbines then. Pistols work too then


You can as well pick up both additional pistol and carbine skills. 0300 Carbineer & 0030 Pistoleer works too. Gives you cripplingshot and access to the Geo Pistol.

I am going with:


MBH

Carb 0-3-4-0

Pistol 4-0-4-0

Medic 0-0-0-0


What do you think?

I like that that last one.

As far as me, I like both pvp and pve. Oh and this is with MBH, which i hope to attain soon.

...and reading the FAQs doesn't help. I still can't find anything anywhere that will give me a conclusive yes or no on this. This is what I do understand about JTL:


1. Rebels can be Rebel/Neutral. Imperials can be Neutral/Imperial. Neutrals can be Rebel/Neutral/Imperial.
2. The "certifications" for flying a ship will be in the relevant pilot profession.
3. Anyone can fly a YT-1300.


BUT, when they say "anyone", that could mean either:

A. Everyone (Imp, Privateer and Rebel) gets the YT-1300 certification as part of the prof.
B. No one gets the YT-1300 certification, as there is no YT-1300 certification. Anyone can fly the YT.
C. The YT-1300 is part of the Privateer, which anyone (if they choose) can access.


Now, logic would suggest that B is probably the correct answer. Why? Well, if we look at the other multi-person ship, the Vet Yacht, it would be totally stupid to say that you needed a certification (which you had to work towards) in order to fly it. I would assume that there will be either a "PLY 3000" and a "YT-1300" certification, or just a general "Multi-passenger" certification, which would let you fly all of the MP ships. HOWEVER, this is SOE, and it seems logic isn't their strong point. I can cite several examples where option C is disproved (ok, by EU, but still)...but then again, the movies themselves actually contradict the existance of the three pilot professions, so who knows.

Basically, can the same character fly both a YT-1300 AND an A-Wing, without changing pilot professions in between? I can't find a definate answer anywhere.

Yes, I remember awhile back this was brought up and the Devs said the YT-1300 would be avalible to all pilot professions and/or factions

I say it's probably A, the Vet Yacht is the exception to the rule because it's just given to you.

There will be a certification for it in every pilot profession.
