Thread: Tuesday Tip and the ongoing Jedi/BH war
Message Edited by BadgerSmaker on 05-24-2005 11:46 PM
I didn't mean to attemp to drag the trolls in and drag the filth of flaming into the forum I just wanted to see what some minds who weren't busy taking potshots and insulting each other would say.
I'm just afraid the stopping shot which i use to control groups of mobs when too many aggro at once and I use to stop a charging creature in pve will be nerfed in pve as a result of changes to make it fair for the pvp/jedi/bh conflict.
This battle on the tuesday tips will most likley end in concessions to the jedi fanboi's complaints about it being unfair for 5 bh to chain root a jedi.
I've said it before, I will say it again. Jedi is a tough profession. Tough in this game means one thing. Time invested. It is possible to solo grind Jedi, it's just SLOW. Insanely slow. As well it should be. Jedi is a commitment, and players need to treat it as such. Jedi is a risk vs reward system. The first reward is getting your character to Padawan and getting a second character slot. There's no risk up to this point, just time invested. After that, the reward is faster XP gains through grouping, but the risk is player BH's coming to take the XP gains away.
Moving on to the actual issue. Stopping Shot doesn't need to be changed at all. It's FINE as is. (Concussion shot on the other hand, needs the nerf bat. 40 second root with a frickin' fast cooldown? I don't think so.)
The problem is multiple BH's per Jedi who can't have anyone help them. The simple solution for the BH/Jedi issue is to allow the Jedi's group to participate. On the BH side, either allow 8 BH's to take a Jedi bounty (the Jedi can have 7 others in his/her group, so 8 BH's is fair) or allow 1 BH to take the bounty and group with up to 7 others to go after the Jedi.
It's about time we had real posses going after these Renegade Jedi! It's also time that the Jedi's friends can help protect the Jedi from the posse. Just think how much fun it would be for a group of 8 master Bounty Hunters to go after a Jedi and end up finding a group of 8 Jedi. Completely against the Star Wars timeline (but the Jedi already@#(*@# are against it!), but it'd be total fun for both sides.
The best part is they won't have tomess with our specials that are working as intended!!!

Ii would also like to know if anyyone is affected by the kd bug? i get kd'd in pvp and my kd recovery goes black. sometimes it takes me about 3-4 minutes to stand up.
Are you getting "You cannot use Knockdown Recovery while Knocked Down"? That seems to be a bug that happens if you get KD'd with a move queued.
It's kept me out of PvP since I got hit with it twice, very nasty.

personally i feel there are other things that should be looked into like insane heals on the jedi side.
They are looking at it by apparently reducing the force cost for heals
Well the Tuesday Tip has flamed to over nine pages in 1 day, whereas as the three previous Tuesday tips managed a couple of pages in their entire run.
I'm baffled as to why Thunderheart would pick Stopping shot as a Tuesday Tip. I find it hard to believe that the Developers could be that out of touch with what is going on in game.
I reckon just woke up one day and fancied trolling the game guide forum and inciting a BH/Jedi flamewar.

Gank squads are part of MMORPG life. You travel alone as a PvP open player, you're asking to get ganked. Unlessthe BH missionscan be set for a 1v1 only opportunity (dunno the mechanics that would be fair to do that) it should be gankable both ways, not just the BH's on the glow sticks. Whatever the case, nerfing special moves isn't the answer to the issue (and fortunately, it looks like the devs possibly realize that given TH's comment that the issue extends beyond the use of one special move.)
