Soon as I entered, I noticed about Imperials right outside our South base. We were fighting them with around 25 Republicans. I managed to get around 11 kills and realised I don't wanna do this every day to finish the daily. All i really did was jump in to they blob, use all my aoe's to get damage on people, die and hope some ranged dude kills whoever I hit so I get credit for the kill too.
I won't quit or anything, but I do really dislike this particalr part of the patch. Luckily, I still have an alt to lvl and wait till they fix it. Otherwise, it's no more open world PVP.
Like I said, not quitting, but I would like people's opinion on this. As long as they are effected by it.
If you haven't reached 50 yet and don't even know what Ilum was like before, please don't bother ommenting on how bad it is. I see enough whining about nothing on the official forums.

Jedi fight for civilization , because only civilization creates peace. Yeh they did a "fix" today the only thing that changed though, is that yo can't get spawncamped anymore and actually have a chance of getting out of the base.
I spent all night in Ilum helping people with dailies and our group would be no bigger than 4 people. We eventually just decided to stay in our base and do it the same way we did yesterday. Not too happy about this at all. This is from another server, but it's exactly the same on ours. This comment was edited by Dacascos on Jan 19 pm. Jan 19 pm Tallepyon - Student. Yeah, they really messed up yesterday. Empire was getting insane amounts of valor. Now they will outnumber and outgear us.
The fact that they didn't do a rollback on valor completely astounds me. I really hope that they test updates better than this from now on. I am not quitting either, but I am taking a break for a day or two to see how things are handled. So far, I have not been impressed.

There is also a multiplayer mode that allows players to play against other people over the internet or via a LAN. A port for the Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 was announced on September 4, , and is currently scheduled to release in early As a first and third-person shooter set in the Star Wars expanded universe, Jedi Academy puts the player into combat wielding a variety of firearms from that universe, as well as lightsabers and Force powers.
The player can choose perspective for every weapon except for the lightsaber, which must be wielded in a third person view. The shooter aspects of the game are standard, including a variety of projectile and energy weapons and explosives. Players have a health meter and a shield meter, which are replenished separately. In both single-player and multiplayer, the player character is a Force-user, who has access to a variety of Force powers in addition to their lightsaber s.
Force powers are categorized into core, Light defensive and Dark offensive , and each Force power has three ranks, with the power increasing in effectiveness with each rank. In both single-player and multiplayer, players choose how to rank up their powers, adding a layer of customization.
During gameplay, the player has a 'Force meter' which is depleted when powers are used, and recharges when no powers are in use. Jedi Academy places a heavy emphasis on lightsaber combat. The player can create a custom lightsaber by selecting a hilt and one of five blade colors. The different sabers each have unique styles and special moves. When using a single saber, the player can choose between three stances which affect the speed and power of attacks; if using dual sabers, the player can switch off the second saber and use the 'Fast'-style single-saber stance, or if using a saber staff, the player can switch the staff into a single-bladed saber that uses the 'Medium'-style saber stance.
The player initially chooses the character's species and gender, and begins the game with a single lightsaber. Midway through the game, the player can choose to use dual sabers or a saber staff if desired. The campaign alternates between linear plot driven missions and user-selected missions. For user-selected missions, the player is given a list of five missions, and chooses the order in which to complete them. The player is only required to complete four of the missions before advancing, although the option is available to complete all five.
This will increase the impact of that Force power, so making the character more powerful as the game progresses. In multiplayer mode, one can play online or via a local area network LAN with other players, as well as computer-controlled bots. The player can create their avatar using a series of options, similar to the character creation in single-player. Alternatively the player can choose to play as one of almost all of the characters from Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy.
Before a match begins, the server specifies the Force ranking to be used; this controls how many points the players have to invest in different Force powers. Players can then customize their powers for the match. The server can also disable normal weapons to create a lightsaber-only game. There are different multiplayer modes such as 'Capture the flag', 'Power Duel' and 'Siege'.
Depending on the mode, players can play on their own or as part of a team. In comparison with the singleplayer gameplay, multiplayer requires a high level of skill and can have a steep learning curve, as stated by many. Players achieve levels way beyond any of the enemies present ingame, as the timing - oriented lightsaber combat system is very complex and it is not used properly to the full extent by the NPCs.
There are six multiplayer modes in total, but the most popular and most willingly modified is the 'Free For All'. As of May , there were around active players, but a third of them online at one time. On their way to the Academy, the students' shuttle is shot down by an unknown enemy.
As Jaden and Rosh make their way to the Academy on foot, they encounter two stormtroopers and a Dark Jedi, whom Jaden defeats. Jaden then sees a woman using a staff to drain energy from the Jedi Temple, but he is detected and knocked unconscious by the beam.
Jaden and Rosh become apprenticed to Kyle; however, in their first training session, Rosh's over-competitiveness endangers Jaden.
Jaden is then dispatched on various peace-keeping missions across the galaxy. After completing several missions Jaden returns to the temple and overhears Rosh talking to another student, saying that he feels like the Jedi masters are trying to hold them back.
Luke tells the assembled students that the Dark Jedi who attacked the Temple are members of a Sith cult called the Disciples of Ragnos. A member of the cult, a Twi'lek named Alora Grey DeLisle , was able to infiltrate the Academy during the attack and stole Luke's journal.
This allowed the cult to find numerous places strong with the Force and drain the energy there. The students are sent out to investigate the locations mentioned in Luke's journal. Jaden defeats her, and she flees. Returning to the Academy, Jaden finds that Rosh did not return from his mission to Byss. After completing several more missions, Jaden accompanies Kyle in an investigation of Darth Vader's fortress on Vjun.
There, Jaden discovers that Rosh has joined the Disciples of Ragnos, having fallen to the dark side to avoid being killed. At this point, the leader of the cult, who is revealed to be Tavion Axmis Kath Soucie arrives. She was the former apprentice of Kyle's nemesis Desann from Jedi Outcast. Tavion has recovered the 'Scepter of Ragnos', which has the power to drain and release Force energy.
Tavion disables Jaden and Kyle, causing the room to cave-in as she escapes with Rosh, destroying Jaden's lightsaber in the process. Kyle and Jaden narrowly escape and return to the Academy. Jaden is promoted to Jedi Knight, and constructs a new lightsaber. Luke comes to the conclusion that Tavion plans to restore the Sith to power by using the stolen Force energy to resurrect the ancient Sith Lord, Marka Ragnos Peter Lurie. Though skeptical, Jaden agrees to help.
Fighting through a mining facility on Taspir III, Jaden is again confronted by Alora, who continues to taunt him as he chases her through the complex. Eventually, Jaden finds Rosh, who asks for help and claims to have seen the error of his ways. Gripped by anger, Jaden is goaded by Alora to kill Rosh and join Tavion, while Kyle telepathically tries to dissuade him.
At this point, the player can choose to either let him live and thus stay on the light side or kill Rosh and turn to the dark side. On the light path, Jaden spares Rosh and saves him from Alora, who cuts off Rosh's left arm. Jaden kills Alora and heads to the Tomb of Ragnos to confront Tavion, fighting his way through her followers alongside his fellow students.
Jaden defeats her; however, she uses the scepter to invoke Ragnos's spirit, who possesses her body. Jaden defeats Ragnos and destroys the Scepter, banishing Ragnos' spirit back into its tomb and killing Tavion. On the dark path, Jaden kills Rosh but refuses to join the Sith or help resurrect Marka Ragnos, instead killing Alora and heading to Korriban.
