Hey there,
I am new to the Jedi game and i had a couple questions about TEF and other stuff.
Now, it is my understanding that Jedi are always on PvP mode. I planned on sitting at the coronet starport and seeing if anyone would try and attack me but i have sat there for over 2 hours once, seen many a overt imp walk by and nothing happened to me. When you go overt, you get a symbol for the faction you are a part of to the left of your name. I was under the impression that this meant that you could be attacked at any time by someone of the other faction. Seeming as how i see a symbol in my name when i type in crtl-1. I assume i am attackable at any time. So why am i not getting attacked? I keep a TEF flag for 5 minutes after i use my saber to kill or use the force i understand that. I dont however, understand the difference. If i am always in pvp as the mail i got from SWG said i was when i started. Why even have the TEF? When i was a covert reb and i killed a imp out in the field of battle. I got a TEF. That i understand since my character is not always in pvp mode. If i am always in pvp mode though, why would i ever get a TEG. I am always an enemy not a temp one.
Bounty Hunter missions. I know i get points for using the force and my saber. Do i only get these points when i use these powers around people who are close to me that are not grouped? Does being grouped even matter? Or am i safe killing by myself in the field with nobody around for 1000 meters? Do these points ever go away after time? if i played one day and gained alot of visibility points then quit for 4. Would said points go away and my name taken off the terminals?
One more thing on the way we play. It seems VERY hard to get any kind of xp other then saber xp. Thats very easy compared to the rest. I am 4100 on the first level of jedi but i got the first 4 in saber in no time. My healing skill took me forever it seemed and that was ONLY 20k!. My next level is damn 200k and moreover; Padawan is freakin 1.8 million. I kill pretty hard things with my guild mates and i dont really get much Jedi xp. Like maybe 300-400 MAX. using the force in combat like saberstrike or whatever does give me more but when it really does not help me to actually kill the creature i fail to see the risk of getting points for only 100 more points of Jedi xp. I really hope the Devs are going to change things around for all parts of our characters. Not only the permadeath but alot of other things.
Anyway, i have wasted enough of your time :)
