Just Another WORD on very BAD game design by the DEV's JTL has to be one of the crappest game add-on's in the WORLD. I've been around video games for over 20 years now and just would like to know what in the world you DEV's were thinking when you made JTL. For example:


--One of my freelance missions is to destory 25 imp ships then destory a gunboat. The problem is that I don't want to group with john doe to do this mission. I don't pay for this game to meet every tom,dickk, and harry out there just so I can complete my mission and get master pilot. I've been workin on this mission since DEC of 04. The 25 ships I can handle now the gunboat is another story. Even if I do start to get the upper hand on the ship it takes off into Hyper drive and thus I don't destory it. Now, most players hate JTL in space. Well atleast on my server. So you dev's created this stupied mission that needs to be done in a group, when nobody wants to even do space missions. So how is somebody like me going to master pilot by myself when nobody wants to help. Nor do I even want to take the time to meet people to help. I don't understand how you can GIVE AWAY jedi. example:don't belive it takes a group to become a jedi. Yet master pilot takes a group of people. WHAT are you DEV's thinking.


Listen you have my account info with phone.. Call me up so I can help you with better game design. Oh I"m also a MP MBH with 6 unlocks.. Do me a big favor do away with mask sent. It doesn't work worth crap either. Being you give me no tools to fight jedi. So I try to use the area round me to help example. jedi's love grindin Krayt. So when I head over to attack the target that is grindin these Krayt I hide my smell with the so called Mask. It don't work, the animal picks right up on me and attacks me.. No don't tell me to take food or drink because I'm to busy using up that in protect what little it is againest jedi. WAKE up guys start thinkin alittle better or get some better testers..


OH and it's not that I don't have friends online or had. Most quit playing after year and half and the few that I still no don't want to do space missions cause it sucks to them. Did you dev's not want alot of people flyin YT-1300's around? Yet jedi can be a dime a dozen?

Maybe you should just put your hangups aside and get a few people to help...

They aren't going to change the game because you like to solo.

And if you don't think it takes a group to become a Jedi think again. The final mission you will never, ever complete on your own.

If you expect mask scent to work on Krayts, you spend too much time complaining and not enough time actually playing. I think even a Master Ranger has trouble camouflaging from Krayts. Groups are good. This is a Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game. Note the Massive Multiplayer part. That is encouragement to group. SWG is not old hermit friendly, so go play Ultimate Yahtzee instead of complaining about a core system that is the base of the game.

/agrees with Neghtasro.


Massively Multiplayer.



Ya may not like to group, but you are paying to play a multiplayer game. Just understand that there will be parts of the game that are geared towards that multiplayer idea. I'm sorry that it is holding you back from acheiving Master Pilot.

My suggestion is read a few of the guides and walkthrough from players that have already completed these missions. Several of them have even finished it solo; so it can be done. I believe that with a change in your strategy, you may achieve your goal.

If you're actively against grouping in space, I suggest you go out and pick up Jedi Starfighter for XboX or whatever.

You're not cut out for multiplayer games.

I don't see any reason for the entire game design to change to please one anti-social person.

Oh, and by the way:

When you design and release a Star Wars MMO, let us all know so we can try out your leet game design skills.

So most players that have JTL on Eclipse hate flying in space?
And your their spokesman to I bet.

You know if those players would all get together and help each other out for say an hour or two a week you all would of been ACES a month or two ago.

And in all that time you couldn't make the effort to find a couple people to help you out on the mission? You must not be as frustrated with the mission as you make out to be.

I guess too bad that you suck in space. I soloed Storm Squadron and Smugglers Alliance... it CAN be soloed, apparently just not by you.

Pilot can be soloed. If not soloed at least duo'd, me and a guildmate did the whole thing together and there was never a mission the two of us couldn't do after at least a try or two. I personally don't get WHY people want to solo it anyway, there were several excort missions there that were so dull that I would have fallen asleep if it hadn't been to the joking and banter between me and my friend to keep us both awake. Honestly, this game is a LOT more fun when you play it with others. And sorry if you can't find help (not that you seem to be trying) if you were on my server I'd love to help you fly your missions. Helping people out in space is one of my favorite ways of meeting new people, making new friends. Maybe you should try it?

The challenge, doing them ina group just makes it too easy for me. 15 years of space sim experience kinda does that to you.

while it is possible to complete tier 3 & 4 pilot missions solo, it's hard enough as to almost not be possible

everyone groups to finish the last tiers, that's how it is, and it's a lot of fun to run those. i've managed to do all the tier 3 missions for all imp squads and all privateer squads helping out friends. if you have no friends, then you should make some.

i can tell you now, you will need wingies to complete the vette mission.

and everyone else did it, so you can too. or not. not everyone can be uber in space

and if you really think the space master grind is comparable to the jedi grind, you are smokin the bantha weed again.
