You can take your pick of which one you want to read first.

I don't really see how any of that is "bad" news...

You forgot that Bounty Hunters have a high percentage chance of looting slicing components off their new "Mission System" I guess the devs apparently listened to us... giving the components via mission rewards... only for another profession.

I can see the prices of smuggler components going up even higher now.

You need to slice open your skin and install some Reactive Micro platings.

Being a M.Smug/M.BH the loot drops from the missions don't bother me in the least, infact, I'm looking forward to my new source of slicing loot.

I would reply with something like "Bend over and think warm thoughts, these tools are mighty cold..."

Except that the good news is actually bad news...since the Wookies now give full xp to whoever even hits them once regarless of wether they are grouped or not.


Jedi grinding on Kashyyk just became easier for more more Jedi at once. So now instead of some Jedi there, all of them will be. I suppose the good news is that if you're a BH you will probably be able to find all of your marks on the same instance of the Ryyat trail.

Yeah but that's been debated to death. These two notes I mention are stealth nerfs and/or bugged patch implementations..

Right, but combat xp is 1:30 [edit - fixed]turnin rate. That means even if you cap out completely, you're getting less xp now than you did before. If the xp thing is actually a bug and gets fixed, getting combat FS is going to take a little longer, as I believe is the intent (longer grind = less jedi, right? Hey, stop laughing!).

UI
• Brightness, Contrast, and Gamma now default to 1.0. Because of the world lighting changes, these settings have been defaulted to 1.0 to account for any Brightness, Contrast, and Gamma changes previously made. To readjust any of these settings, open your Options window (CTRL-O) and click the Graphics button on the left side of the window.
• Added Rage and Anger icons.


^ See, they did implement something for us smugglers.


CH Upgrade, changes to almost every profession out there except tailor, armorsmith, bio-engineer, marksman, artisan, and brawler, and we still can't smuggle. I plan on using those icons frequently and often, in that order.

I'm at work right now so I 'm wondering if I could go down to the jedi xp-farm on the trail use an AOE attack, hit FD, and get full XP when the jedi kill everything I hit with my AOE?

The way it is currently working, yes.

The fact that they made the wookiees tougher annoys me, because in there attempt to stop the AFK grind by making tougher mobs, they are screwing over everyone that needs to kill them for a quest. Typical SOE.
