Jedi Issues

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.games.starwarsgalaxies (More info?)

Anybody else have issues with all the Jedis running around after Publish 9?
Too many of them and they are basically invulnerable. I really think they
have to beef up BH and do something about them hanging out and wacking TEF'd
newbs. I haven't had that issue as I'm neutral but I do think there is no
balance and really doesn't gibe with the Star Wars that I know. Am I alone
in this opinion? Anyone know of plans to change this in Publish 10? I have 2
friends who have left the game in the last week and I've tried to convince
them to stay and wait out the rebalance. I really enjoy the game but having
friends play it makes it far more enjoyable.

All thoughts and opinions welcome.

You can thank the Devs for that one..once they took out the Saber TEF and
ganked Bounty Hunters, Jedi just started coming out of the woodwork.
Hopefully, they'll realize the folly of their mistake and tone them down a
bit. However, thanks to the Jedi complaining all the time about it, Combat
Medic's have been brought back in line somewhat..despite the fact that the
regular players have been raising issues about them for over 4 months.

Another Dev induced farce is the Overt non-Jedi farming for FRS points
that's happening. Again, maybe they'll pull their heads out and realize
that Jedi should only be killing Jedi and not preying upon the rest of us
"mortals".

I, for one, won't be holding my breath.

Yup, I hope they fix the overpowering Jedi - otherwise I'll probably leave
the game and wait for Middle Earth Online.

That is one of the reasons the Devs removed the Master Scout requirement
from BH. They want to use those extra skill points to 'beef up' BH to
be able to help control the Jedi population. Those extra points are
enough to give an MBH another master in either Carbineer or Pistoleer,
and have enough points left over to pick up novice Medic and 1000 in it
to help with the healing some.

Personally, I think a Master Carbineer/MBH would be a force against a
Jedi. I saw a fencer (I think it was a fencer) land an intimidate then
dizzy/kd on a Jedi and won the duel - so state effects do help. If you
are able to start off at 64m and use the state effects wisely
(stun/intimidate cuts down on the damage they deal, increases the damage
you deal - dizzy to keep them from running, kd or posture down to keep
them from getting close, blind to keep them from hitting as much - as
well as fire from a torso shot) you probably have a pretty good chance.

Does anybody know if the Mandalorean or BH armor (before the conversion
in the DWB) have lightsaber resists? If so, BH should do fairly well
against Jedi. At least in a one-on-one situation. If the Jedi is
protected by a group (most are), they will need backup... I'd suggestion
an army of CMs, Riflemen, Fencers and TKMs to provide cover 😛

Fencers remain among the best anti-jedi. Dodge is still under-rated by
most people, even though they know it is powerful. I've been a fencer
for a while, and *I* still underestimate it. Dodging 75% of anything is
like 50% composite that works against anybody, including Jedi.

The more that I play as a fencer, the more I enjoy it.

One of the state effects (either intimidate or stun) really puts a dent
in defenses. Does anybody know if that is the case with saber blocking
also? Maybe start by popping off between 4-10 shots off that cause that
state, then move on to the other shots once the defense is down. I
guess it'd be a lot easier to try these out if I had a Jedi to play with
😛

That is a pain... question about the PSGs though. Were they put up for
sale when the bug existed that incorrectly specified something as having
a lightsaber resistance even though it really didn't? If it really
does, then I wonder if RIS does also, since they both have the floating
resist problem. Maybe the floating resist isn't a good indication... I
think Tantel had that problem also :/

Does anybody know what resistance the Jedis have on their robes? Not
that it matters if you can't get through them blocking the shots I
guess.

If they are that high of a level, they pretty much demonstrated that
they have the time and willpower to go through it. What do I lose if a
Jedi kills me? The limited amount of time I have to play, by figuring
out what I did to get a TEF, heal up, travel back to where I was, a
vehicle if it was out when I got jumped, any condition that the
lightsaber took from my armor, as well as any fun I was having getting
interrupted. If you have a Jedi that is a Knight, it is plain that time
limitations mean nothing to you. As such, it is a greater commodity for
those that have less of it.

I kind of see having all the Jedi around as exaggerating the TEF issues
even more. Before, there was a good chance that you would die unless
you had a PVP template when you got jumped. Now, it is basically a
given, unless you are one of a smaller number of professions, even then
it is a lot harder than a normal character.

Unless the Jedi wanted to see how many he can take on. After all, if
time is basically unlimited, they have nothing to lose.

It's common practice for people to whine and complain about every little
thing in this game. You people cry when someone better than you kills you.
Deal with it. I made my character a temploiter to deal with it. What is
1000 credits to clone if you plan on running faction missions? Are you
people really that lazy? Geez. If you're foolish enough to run factional
missions from a popular outpost or city, then you deserve to die a painful
death at the hands of an overt (Jedi included). That's just plain stupid
and careless.

My guild went to the Geonosian cave one night to try to get the sonic
blaster schematic. Thanks to some careless actions from a memer of the
group, the guild leader was killed. he forgot to clone and he began to
whine and moan about the decay. Well tough.

Even the Jedi aren't immune from idiotic mistakes. Some complain about
being clone camped. Since the Knights are permenately overt, there is
nothing to stop a gank squad from running into the cloner and kill him all
over again. Some Jedi just don't know how to use the shrines the devs put
in the game. Just like players like you who don't take the time to pay one
thousand measely credits to clone.

Unfortunately the developers like to run this game based on the popular
opinion of the players. Give em what they want they say. Original idea was
to put a cap on the number of Jedi on each server. Well hell, nobody liked
that idea. It's not fait that John Doe gets to play a Jedi simply because
he works from home and gets to play 8 hours a day. It's not fair that Jane
Doe gets to play a Jedi because she's in a guild of 100+ that can easily
give away hundreds of thousands of resources for grinding. So the develops
make jedi attainable for everyone. But alas, the constant holo grinding
breaks the Star Warsy feel of the game. So here come the Jedi Trials in
publish 10. Now everyone can become a Jedi or make their character Force
Sensitive.

It's what the majority wanted from the beginning, and yet the majority
complains about Jedi. As a developer, I would have shot myself in the head
a long time ago. Everyone likes to complain in this game. You pay $15 a
month to enjoy a game, not to gripe about it.

I'm out. This newsgroup is a hundred times worse than the Galaxies forums.
Have fun crying on each others shoulders.

You're kidding..right? I don't know what forums you are looking at, but you
are sadly mistaken if you think this newsgroup is worse than that. That
must be one hellacious set of blinders you have on.

I'm guessing that somewhere down the line, you must have a Jedi..since those
are the people who seem to argue the most about how "underpowered and
underbalanced" they are. Give me a break. I'm also assuming that you think
it's a good idea that Jedi can also run around with little or no resistance
from anyone. Hell, why shouldn't they be able to? I mean, according to the
Dev timeline of this game, it's supposed to be between Episodes 4 & 5.

Now, I might be wrong about this, but last time I watched the movies, I sure
as hell didn't see Jedi dueling each other at starports, or going around
killing TEF'ed or Overt players just for laughs. Whatever happened to them
supposedly hiding? Oh yeah, that's right..they pander to one player base
exclusively and try to push the Jedi propaganda on everyone to get new
subscribers.

This game isn't about Star Wars anymore, it's about how much money SOE and
Lucas can pump out before the game dies. And after the announcement this
week about the CB and GCW revamps being pushed back further and
further..that death may not be too far away. Not a chance JTL will save it,
no matter how good it is. Ground combat and the GCW should've been the #1
priority, and instead, they pushed through stuff for Droid Engineers (2
publishes), Image Designers (1 publish), and Jedi (2 publishes).

But I will give the Jedi whiners credit, they did get the CM's toned down a
bit.
