Just a little fix to your "stay off the terminals" banter.

For decent XP you cant avoid visibility hence it being one of the top 10 issues. Grind groups for reasonable XP (slower than pre cu) and get vis or drop all but jedi skills and solo for really really bad XP and i mean slower than the UK public transport system.





It's supposed to be tough. Jedi aren't supposed to *exist* in the SWG timeframe, yet the Devs have gone so farinto to the Jedi-centric process that instead of being a rare thing Jedi are now the endgame profession for many players.


Reading the fan fest notes it seems that the current line of thinking will be to remove the visibility building when in a group. Right now Jedi are filling up Kashyyyk grinding in groups, they can't even be tracked by BH's there. I was on the "Free Rroot" mission and walked past a group of 8 Jedi, popping feral wookies like stationary targets. They were building visibility, but obviously they didn't care. Do you think that's the right thing?


I don't have a Jedi or a Padawan. My FS character has 1 line and 1 box filled. I'm afraid by the time I get the opportunity to be a Padawan, the backlash from the playerbase against Jedi will remove any reasonable option for me to continue to work towards a Jedi character.


The non-stop demands for other professions to get nerfed aren't helping the Jedi at all.

Not to mention that at the moment, a lot of those Jedi that are afk grinding in the Rryatt Trail on Kashyyyk are exploiting a LOS bug so the BH can't even attack them even if they have their bounty mission....

Nah, even the other Jedi are telling the complainer to take a flying suck at a sweaty armpit on that one.

What I don't get is.... if theJedi notices he can't win.... why didn't he just Force Run outta there? No way the BH could catch him.

Angus - because that would make sense - and remember - Jedi are UBER and should not need to run - because they are never to be overpowered.



Remember that the next time you say something so silly man.

Instead of just calling us all whiners why not read the actual thread then judge for yourself. IT had some to our attention that Bounty hunters are abusing Last Ditch by Dueling each other to get their health almost down to nothing. Then one or more of the BH/smugglers proceeds to use Last Ditch as a First Strike against a jedi.



Thisi s not how it was intended. It should only be the person you are being attacked by that you should have the opportunity to apply a LD to.


I'm not talking PVE. This is just for pvp occurences.
