Damn enter button.

any way, Tiggs put up an FAQ, and there are NO player bounties. Only NPC. No jedi, no smuggler no nothing.

I was thinking now that everyone's going to be on an equal footing, that EVERYone, at least every COMBAT class, should be subject to bounties.

Wes, think you and the BH corr could work together and lobby, and organize?

What about those of us that don't want forced bounties? You could force it upon Jedi because it was special. There is no way you can force PvP on anyone.

Won't happen. There's a couple of lines in the FAQ dealing with the reasoning behind these changes. Whatever good might come out of it, it's still driven by catering to a very different crowd than the ones who want... you know, really starwarsy things, instead of a starwarsy facade.

Yes, I agree wholeheartedly.



If it is a true opt in system, then there should be no problem with it. The people who don't want it can stay out of it.





"Jedi claims of being "broken" are like saying "But my TV isn't widescreen! It's broken! My TV can't show high-def pictures in 1080i, it can only do 720i! It's broken!" Meanwhile, crafters are saying "We'd really like to have a TV that's larger than 12" and gets more than 4 channels and doesn't constantly lose vertical control", and entertainers are saying "Can we get some color instead of this B&W piece of junk?" And smugglers? We're listening to radio programs of "The Shadow" and "The Abbot and Costello Comedy Hour" and hearing FDR's Fireside Chats. We don't even HAVE a damn TV, much less a broken one or a "broken" one by Jedi standards. I'd LOVE to be as "broken" as they are." - The Legendary Solo4114

Just thought of this: Probably will happen by players going overt. No more fearing jedi, as they will be normal classes now. Should see a nice boost in those going overt.

It's called opt in quests and missions.


He's not talking about forcing someone to PvP, he's talking about letting those of us who want to take the risk of getting hunted by taking on tough quests get that option.


I don't think anyone would argue that forced PvP should ever be an option... but there really needs to be an opt in system.


They want it to feel like Star Wars, they should take this step.

I'm just worried about the jedi problem...it sounds like there will be even more of an infestaion then there is now. i take it we're changing the time line yet again.

Don't bet on it.


If Jedi are a normal level profession, then their power is gone, and therefore so is their attraction to powergamers.


What we have the potential of seeing now is content attracted players becoming Jedi.



I'm not guranteeing this mind you... but I do think this could go a long way to eliminating the problem that comes with Jedi.

Why should what you want govern how I play? If you want to PvP, go overt. Or find some other kind of opt-in system. I ain't a carebear, but I will not play if i need to watch my back every second of the game. To me, that's not fun.

What he said, why be a jedi if it is no longer your playstyle? No more uber class. And it seemed, at least to me, there will be profession specific quests or something along those lines for everyone.
