Considering how tired I am of dying in Kessel (while in a LARGE group) I realized that EQ2 is on shelves (I think). Maybe SOE is intentionally ticking us off to drive demand for EQ2. Personally, I am already looking for something else to do while they undo this Kessel FUBARness. It is inevitable, it will cost them $$ and this game is around to make $$. I will not be investing in any more SOE games for a while.

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 neverdone any PVP in space yet, but, it's along that logic I believe.

Comeback when you've tried to Master 
"Sucking" has nothing to do with it. Kessel can be a greifer zone and running a PvE mission while defending against PvP attacks (sometimes as many as 20 PvP'ers) can be the height of frustration. You only have 30 minutes to do the corvette (IF you arrive as it spawns)...

I think it is. Because EQ2 here I come.
If I wanted to PVP I would play UT2004 or Quake or something non-rpg like that.
I hate you Raph Koster and your incompetent dev team!!!!
I hate all you little panty waste griefers who think it's kewl to ruin another game just because your too stupid to do anything else. Get off daddy's 'puter and go to bed DOODZ.
My account expires at midnight and I will not be re-newing.
Thanks for ruining a perfectly good dream game all of you incompetent, no skill twits. ( griefers and devs)
I hope the EQ2 Team is up for it, and from what I've heard they are. And there I shall go.
Good-bye SWG!

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.

I have been playing Starwars since February and in that time I have seen SOE miss the ball time and time again. In the ground game PVP is optional. In JTL they made it a requirement if you want to master the Pilot professions. I am not big in PVP and I definately am not big in one shot and I'm dead.
Today I went to kessel solo to knock off 30 TIE fighters. After 3 hours and 28 fighters I was almost done when some PVP crazed jerk named Bota (Lowca Server) attacked and killed me. I was not looking for PVP, I was simply looking to finish my mission. I had Full shields and Armor and with one shot he spoiled 3 hours of hard work. And to make matters worse it should have been obvious that I was not interested in PVP (The boosters in the other direction would have been a hint).
While this may be some peoples idea of fun, I see no sport whatsoever in taking somebody out with one shot. Afterall it takes me about 2 minutes to take out an NPC TIE but I could take down a Player ship with one well aimed shot. Since the only thing that SOE understands it the bottom line $$$ I have already cancelled my account in disgust.
Perhaps if they fix these issues before my subscription ends I will renew. I had been anticipating the JTL release for months now and I have to tell you that I am VERY DISSAPOINTED with the finished product.
After a history of unbalancing the game they might have learned their lessons. But JTL is now the MOST UNBALANCED part of the entire game.
Take for instance Rebel or Imperial ships. They can equip the best weapons, have more speed and space than anything that the Freelance Piolot can own. To make matters worse, the one ship that might be worth something for Freelance Piolots (The KSE Firespray) they made a rare loot and made available to everybody instead of making it available to just freelance piolots. In fact Freelance piolots don't even get a two seated fighter NOR to they get a master piolot ship that can be flown without a group.
Please take a momemt to cancel your subscriptions so that SOE can get the idea. If enough people do they might actually fix the bugs and bad decisions they've made.

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.

You know it utterly amazes me how people cant get it into there heads, how many times does it have to be said.
Its not about skill or we should not be there, its about trying to do a damn PVE mission.
While PVPer's are one shot killing people, we just want to do a stupid mission to get master pilot.
