It will be interesting to see what happens to the membership base in SWG over the next couple of months now that there will be other quality MMORPG on the market. The past 15 months what competition has SWG had? CoH? Please.
Will be very interesting. I know what game I will be buying/playing next week.
Except it is now only a reward for powergamers who will get it in a week, casual players will hardly ever get this as the more powergamers get it, the more it will be camped.
This is cartering to powergames and griefers as they are the only ones who gain content from this.
Exactly, and this isnt jedi, its not the light at the end of the game tunnel, its a profession, a SIDE profession none the less that has little to nothing at all to do with the ground game. It shouldnt matter how many master pilots sony sees in space, this isnt jedi. Go make jedi go to kessel system to get a master title, for the rest of us we would like to deal as little as possible with the griefers and scum of the universe that like to camp pvp areas.

Learn some strategy and know that not everything is soloable. If you are able to defeat a real life opponent, then you are a true master. Learn teamwork, and you'll be surprised.

Solo or not doesn't matter. You could be grouped with 19 other Master Pilots enaging npc hostile craft. One Tier 4/4/4/4 hostile PC shows up and is indistinguishable among the other red dots. By the time your group figures out another hostile player is attacking he will probably have bagged a few possibly you. Even if he only gets one person, and that one person is you mission failed, start over, so sad.

Its not BAD right now. But think in two weeks or so when your server has a couple hundred players in Kessel average. All in one tiny tiny space sector. The chances of others players completing master box as time goes down dwindles rapidly.

Yeah that's great, but there's no "gate" to it.For everyone that can't/doesn't/gives up on the master missions, the content is just is over as if they'd completed it easily.

Please tell me who said anything about soloing? Having done this mission for someone else I can tell you most people are not soloing, I am not sure it can be soloed. You seem to only want to justify PvP griefing that is happening by distracting us with this soloing thing.

if you get hit with one shot by 1 guy, your not a master.

What skills does it take to spawn camp the hyperspace points into kessel as is happening on some servers at present from information others have posted elsewhere in the forums? I don't think SOE had this in mind when placing the master mission in Kessel and this concern was raised during the beta that having the final mission in a pvp zone is leaving it open for abuse from some players who we now know are just camping the hyperspace point into kessel..
As to the skill of the original poster he had managed quite well to get 29 kills on the master mission so he obivously can handle his ship in space, but then to be so close to finishing to have someone swoop in and 1-2 shot kill him will be very frustrating.
I'm all for pvp zones in space and missions related to them once you are master eg. go into a pvp zone and kill 5-10 opposing faction ships. I'm not in favour of having a master mission in a zone where some players will do whatever they can to spoil the fun of other gamers by camping respawn points. If you tried this in any fps like UT or others you would be kicked from the server by an admin, as an ex UT public admin at Blueyonder i have done this to players when they were caught spawn camping.

Heres the reason, They want it to be very hard to master, so you dont walk around seeing everyone and their mother with the tital, MASTER PILOT

ok, so heres a solution: SOE should give a 30 second invulnerability where a player can not shoot or be shot after exiting hyperspace into the kessel system

I'm sorry. You've run into a part of the game that requires maybe trying more then once. If you like to play games where you can do everything on the first try then maybe try something else that has cheat codes

With all the Master pilots I have seen in the last week, yes I even saw them on monday.
Thats less then a week that the game has been out, something tells me its not all that hard.
Only difference is they did not have to worry about PVP, all they had to worry about was PVE.
Now us slower players, or us casual gamers, have to deal with master pilots, who by there nature to rush and get master, so they can PVP. Will sit around and PVP the other players trying to reach master themselfs.
