Q & A New server, The Finalizer

[Starkiller01]

Looks like it's going to be Jedi Wars Galaxies with the removal of ADK's.

I get that PVP was never really balanced, but I fail to see how anyone can argue that LS damage being massively overpowered was largely responsible for this back on live. I for one think that the removal of ADK's will only create more issues than it will solve, especially given that provided they are account locked this negates the risk of account farming and exploitation/significant advantage being given to people owning multiple ADK's.

Personally I'd like to see a poll created for the addition/removal of ADK's (and the Resource Deed and Self Powered Harvester Deed too for that matter) rather than simply bending to the vocal majority on the forums/discord.

Had I been armed with the knowledge that Jedi would be OP once again, I for one would have voted differently - and this is coming from someone who has had zero interest in PVP all the time I've played on Basilisk.

I understand that this isn't a thread for discussion of ADK's (a debate I've never really engaged in up until now), but I foresee a server largely populated by Jedi which will do as much, if not more damage to the community than the presence of ADK's alone.

umm... PSG's still have lightsaber resistance. you dont lose anything by removing ADK's you just need to be better with your inventory management

Yeah you're right, because PSG's work effectively vs LS damage compared to armor for every other damage type. Oh wait, no they don't, and therefore it's significantly unbalanced. I never had any armor that was in reasonable condition break during PVP/PVE back on Live, but PSG's last what a minute or two vs LS, so unless the condition is increased to reflect this it will always be unbalanced.

I'd love to hear a logical argument to this point. Unless of course you think that it's fair to have to carry 20 uncrated PSG's to try and survive any Jedi encounter whether that be PVP or PVE rather than finding a more balanced solution to this problem?

When you add the removal of ADK's with the limiting of SL buff range, I fail to see how any of this is keeping with 14.1 rather than cherry picking what to keep and what to change. Would the vote have gone the same way if people were aware these kind of changes would be made? I for one think enough people may have voted differently if armed with the results of the Q&A.

PSG's can take like 10 hits, so you would need to have a factory crate with them, and considering how hard it is to get a 66% PSG, you will most likely only be able to afford just about 40% ones, so thats a 20% reduction in mitigation, its huge! and will be noticeable.
