Squad Leader Archive

I know you all love the changes and why wouldnt you. We can power through to master SL now by getting people to let us lead their group and zooming up the tree.

Was it really that bad before ? Pah, ok perhaps its just me that liked the thought that SL was one of those tough to get skills that no one wanted. I guess Im moaning for nothing but I like *tough* skills to get and the thought of someone going from 0 SL to master in about 2 days is pretty sickening.

For your information I am only half way to Master SL and only go for experience on the massive guild hunts which is 3 times a week. Rest of time I spend organising the city and guild which Im glad politician is out for =)

Not got much more to add really but im sure you will all totally disagree with me =/

I would have much preffered them fix the actual skills of SL apart from sort out the experience formula they messed up in first place. This just gives more time before any more changes to SL as we are all happy at sorting out something that got broke. Trust me im not one to moan... ever... and wouldnt care if it took me till past christmas to master SL, I just enjoy the fact of leading people and helping everyone around me become a better and more effecient person in the group.

I understand where you are coming from and what you mean, but in a sense I don't see a problem with it like this until the class is fixed. Powerleveling through a gimp class = wrong? Not in my opinion.

Trust me, just because the profession is easier to level now, you aren't going to have an influx of new Squad leaders...

You will have the holocron people (like myself) but most of won't stay.. Some might, but most will move on. I don't think they should even be considered part of the profession... we are just tourists really.

Seems a little fishy to me....

Ever since Holocrons more and more people have been complaining about Squad Leader stuff. Solution? Fix it so that SL is easy to level so the holocron SLs will get it, drop it, and move on with their lives. Its seems like a way to keep our voices to the acceptable level they were.

So...holocron people would be...Holo-Cronies? Heh.

Lol I think it's bedtime!

Although you maybe annoyed by the changes, I gained about 400k pistol exp compared to the 50-80k squad leader exp before the patch. It has been about two weeks and finally I can catch up to those who are on their third or fourth holocron already.

Itd be crazy for me to say I dont like the ability to power level through my chosen class a bit. And for this week itll be great, because I can pick up probably an entire tree at the moderate pace I play at. But from an objective point of view, I think we should gain XP at about half the rate we are able to. I got 175k SL XP in a group of 5 at a naboo PVE battlefield in just 6 hours of play. Seemed a bit too fast for me. Its great right now, because it evens out what I did from last week, where I got practically zero XP.

Don't you just love how not everyone canbe satisfied? We half it, people complain ... we double it, people complain .... we triple it, people complain ... fortunately we're in a situation where majority rules.

I never complained before. I thought the initial changes were pointless and totally killed the experience gain even when I had a full group of 20 people.

The change after that made it near impossible to gain when you had not many people in your group which for me was totally acceptable. It was the moaning by people that wanted to almost solo power up SL that got this new change. I quite like the thought you need 15+ people to get half decent experience gain.

I just feel to be a master SL you should spend a few weeks in groups of 15+, not grab a few people and wack a load of pets in for a few days. I like TOUGH skills to gain butgo get a group of 20 people and you can visibly see the SL bar just fly up.

Thanks for not shooting me down in flames =) I was just venting my anger at this and I know Im probably in the minority here.

Just I would have much preffered to haveseen proper changes to SL where they improve our skills. As it is I feel that they did a stupid nerf to experience, people complained, it was changed to make it really easy to gain and now everyone is happy. Put Squad Leaders to the bottom of the list again as we gave them some loving for a month. Its not loving, its just responding to people that wanted to level SL in a couple of days and move on, this doesnt help our proffesion at all.

Once again, Im playing devils advocate here but Im sure the true SL out there feel the same. We need the skills fixing, not the experience gain.

p.s this is in no way a dig at the correspondant. I think he does a good job but Ijust want to air my views on the situation.
