Squad Leader Archive

Subject says it all. Why do I already hate it.. Novice is completely worthless. I HAVE to group to get xp and I HATE having to group. Frikken holocrons... any other profession and I can do them, SL just makes me want to shot all the devs..

Anyway had to vent on this.

Welcome to our world, first off, Go to fort tusken, second off, lie to everyone and say you can give them accuracy buffs mid fight.... Yell out random things like " Steady... Fire !" And the xp will roll in, two nights of this, you should be done... Infact, I am on tarquinas, I will train you....

But the fact of the matter is, we are leaders, and we are groupers, and we are useless....

I would and honestly if I thought SL was as useless as it appears I wouldn't feel like I do. And btw the reason for hating to be forced to group... I played a mage onEQ for 2 years previous to SWG and there were times when for at least 5 levels you have very little choice but to group if you wanted decent xp or you had the choice of fighting light blue to blue cons and anything above that kicked your ass. Its just sad to see SOE has carried their wanting players to interact with each other this way to SWG and actually made this a requirement to playing a profession.

But to follow the path of the holocron err Jedi is not an easy one I guess and so I must go on, I just needed a play to vent my frustration =).

I really hate to do this but... well duh !

Notice the reason why I am doing SL... holocron... and notice I also stated that if I didn't see AND read about how bad SL is I wouldn't feel as bad as I do about having to do it.

When I do a profession... have currently mastered: DE, Artisan, CH, Scout, Marksman,and Weaponsmith. Only Weaponsmith & SL have been holocron directed paths the others I did to try them out and see if I like them, I also make sure I check the boards here not only to just whip through a proffesion to get it over and done with but to see how to use that profession to the full while I am doing it so that I have fun doing it and that it's not just a grind, and so far I can tell it's just going to be a grind... get it over with and drop it as fast as possible and I get that impression not just from playing it but from this board as well.

I hate to blast people on the internet but I will enjoy this one.........

A few helpful hints to get through SL

1. Don't whine to those who have given their blood, sweat and tears to this profession, especially on your jedi path (wah wah, its tough to be a jedi....wah wah).

2. Quit being a cave troll and actually learn to be social with some people (its actually a skill that will help you in life)

3. Don't reference another game when making your point, if you want to go play everquest, I am sure there is an account waiting for you.

4. Welcome to a real profession where you have to work for your xp, instead of just using some exploit you learned on the web to finish your master box.

5. If your going to come with the vent, come alot stronger then venting about the obvious......might as well complain about creature handler because you have to use pets for xp.

Enough said.

lol first time i ever hear anyone complain about getting SL on their holocron as it is the easiest and fastest proffesion to get up to master in. only problem you have is running back and forth to get trained as your xp caps upp all the time... But thats not realy a big problem is it?

I WAS going to let this drop, but #4 just seemed to stick in my mind and really piss me off that you can be so bloody arrogant to think that I in any way exploited my way to master in any profession. ALL... and I mean ALL of the professions I have mastered so far have been done by grinding them in the normal manner of gaining xp in each profession. If there had been anything else intelligent in your post it would have gone out the window at 4.

as for #2...I AM NOT A CAVE TROLL SH!THEAD. I happen to have several friends that I associate with, craft with, group with, kill imps with. I just prefer to go solo when hunting, I happen to like being a lone hunter. If my friends want to group up however and I am not already way off on another planet doing missions then I go with them.

#3 .. EQ is made by SOE.. SWG is made by SOE ... coincidence that the same thoughts on making people have to group in both games... I THINK NOT.

#5 .. I don't have to... take a look at these:

and I could go on and on... Like I said IF the profession was better than it is I probably wouldn't be complaining much about having to group to get xp but when that is all there is to doing a profession and even at master you still stink then... CH using pets to get xp... Hell I loved playing a CH, that is a fun profession... doing Fencer right now... love it... Master Artisan...Weaponsmith... DE... was a hell of a grind getting those but at least I got to make some stuff and sell them off. I made some of the best Weapon powerups around... hell I still have several schematics I made of them for when I dropped the professions. I've done entertainer tho I haven't gone to master yet (on my to do list) I enjoyed that... hell I enjoyed grouping with other entertainers in the Theed cantina.

What do all of these have that SL doesn't when it comes to xp... fun factor.. a usefullness factor... just not there... least that's how I see it.

I honestly would like to see SL being more useful than they appear to be right now, but hey that's up to the correspondent to raise some hell with TH I guess *shrug*. Frankly I'd rather do image designer...hmm wait lol maybe not...

Ummm... aren't the forums supposed to be informative?

>Welcome to a real profession where you have to work for your xp, instead of just using some exploit you learned on the web to finish your master box.

And hard work it is.. grouping.. waiting.. getting teached.. waiting.. getting teached.. waiting..

Without a shadow of doubt at the current system we are the only profession that can proudly say : Whenever I participate active in battle, I get less xp ^^
