now im not a squad leader and i also probably wont like check back on this post so dont expect to me respond but here is my idea. how about giving squad leaders like +1 or +3 or inbetween group members so like if you master squad leader you can have like a group of like 50 or so instead of the normal 20 that would make for more ppl wanting to be combat xp so they could have more ppl to use for xp just a thought

I like that idea a lot! But 50 might be too much and my graphics would have to be taken WAY down for that. Still, 25, 30, 35 would be really great!

I dunno. Thats extremely tolling on a Squad Leader. The "idiot" factor is much greater when involving 30,40+ people. I know that a group of 15 even gets a little chaotic sometimes. I don't even want to imagine dealing with 50. As SL, I get /tells asking for coords, asking to wait, asking for invites, asking for advice, asking, asking, asking..... Multiply that for a group of 50. That would be annoying. Interesting concept, though. Maybe a +5 in a group at master level. I think THATS a good idea.

well i mean it was just an idea to make squad leader sort of a real squad leader because he has a more effecient manner about him and how he handles ppl so he can increase the number of ppl in his group and give them all the same bonuses and things like that and yes you guys are very lucky it is the morning and i cant get on other computer to play galaxies otherwise i would have never posted again on this

right heres what i was thinking
ever had a customer who wants too know all the details about a house??? for E.G shape, size Etc
well i had the idea of that maybe the deeds in the draft schematic should have an option of view floor plan added to it. so that u can tell a person what shape, size Etc it is.
plus i think there should be a total number of recourses added at the bottom of the requirement's list

Good idea. Of course I put this at about number 123 on the priority list, just after fixing solar power generators.

You know, the DEV's put the force costs there for a reason.
You use crap perals, you deal with it!

well it would also make sense in the fact that, for example, force run is the first skill you learn. It takes an initiate i think like 100 force points to use it...Don't you think as a jedi progessed in the ways of the force it would become easier to use these basic skills, therefore should cost less?

TKA should be as powerfull as it is, but must be harder to get to (why shud one of the most powerful proffesions be so easy to get to??????)
U shud have to master brawler first at least. (This would also mean that TKA could not put as many points on making their defences go sky-high elsewhere.
Dont complain, soon development will make it worse, or and alternative is to do as Isuggest it shud b harder to get to. (bringing it on equal level to commando e.t.c.)

No.
We have one type of damage and one only. Peko Peko Albatross, I don't even help my guild find these any more, useless.
Commandos have them all, in Marksman.

I think we should make a list of Jedis which we find AFK macroing on roof tops, so the devs can sort them out quicker.

Playing SWG for 25 hours straight makes one think. It also makes ones head hurt, but that's a given.
During my playtime I've had a bit of an Epiphany. I'm currently Grinding my holos and any other profession I can stomach. And if I can unlock before publish 10, super. If not, maybe that promised "one up" on the new quests will be worth something.
Now I'm trying my hardest to grind my professions out before publish because I want to unlock jedi and the new system sounds fairly evil. If not a better system.
Now I'm not sure if any of you have tried the ol' "Hero of Tattooine" quest, but I have. It was a nightmare, random spawns, oftentimes broken, or half finished by a previous player, hours of searching randomly through the desert hoping to stumble upon a random quest. People had these things half figured out, and a general search pattern for finding these quests.
It sounds kinda similar to what this new jedi system will be like, random quests etc etc. It sounds like a nightmare. I can see it now, the hordes running through the forests of naboo, to search for Jim the hermit informant who can tell you where to find a super Force Sensitive quest object. People fighting to talk to Jim, lest he despawn and forever ruin your life. I remember people doing the Tatooine quest missions in groups. Imagine that, whol groups of people becoming force sensitive together!
Imagine that, whol groups of people becoming force sensitive together!Luke you will be a Jedi like your father before you. Oh and one sec, let's wait for Zapla the twi'lek and goota the rodian, you guys will all be jedi... like erm.. someone's father was I'm sure.
Luke: I found the camp! I have to help a poor woman find her boy Iewa Sidoobas!
Zapla: I found Iewa a few miles back, in the hills. I thought he was a thug. I killed him 
Goota: DUDE **edit**!
You get the picture. Now I know that the Dev team have been wonderful about keeping SWG true to the Star Wars universe. (Insert laugh here)
But for some reason, this new Jedi unlocking quest sounds like it's gonna be a nightmare. We're gonna be back to square one, with the theories and craziness. And let's look at missions in the game right now.
Ok class, raise your hand if you want your Force Sensitivity quest to bug out and screw you royally.
Ooh me me! ...... wait huh? I'm scared mommy.
Grinding is a major bummer... no doubt. But this new idea. This sounds like it might be something like visiting Satan on a bad day, because his brand new torture kit was missing the mercy kill tool!
Now I've been thinking... why in Yoda's holy name. Would the Devs have made the Jedi class a primarily power gamer reward? I think I figured it out.

You notice Yoda and Ben talk about Luke and Leia being the last hope.
So granted... the venerable SWG player "Darkjediz Mcpwnu" might not be next in line.
In fact no one is, even though we've now seen that there are practically 50-100 jedi on every server.
None of them are the next hope?
Of course not! Because they are power hungry force monsters.
The way that these people have unlocked, and the fashion in which they play.. it doesn't suggest a Jedi. It suggests a lightsaber wielding force user who is questing for power. Seems to me every Jedi... and I've met some incredibly nice ones, are looking to the dark side of the force!
They may think they serve good... but do they?
Perhaps the two classes are Dark Jedi... and the Blissfully Ignorant Jedi.
Wouldn't *that* look good on the skill tree? hee hee!
Now would you ever see luke running around in composite armor slaughtering wild space boar to improve his sabre technique? No!
Would you see luke requestioning his good friend Fixer to find the phattest loots for his saber? No!
Would you see luke hiding in a hutt to avoid endless streams of Bounty Hunters? No!

Would you see luke hiding in a hutt to avoid endless streams of Bounty Hunters? No!
That's why Luke is the only hope! Strong in the force is he! Feeling the force flow through him. His defense is his mind, his saber!
Now you may say... But good sir. It is quite impossible for one to effectively survive as a jedi without buffs, 80% composite armor and friend who can provide his saber components.
But I say to you. go slower.
"Is the dark side stronger?"
"No... no. **Quicker** **Easier** **More seductive**"
"No... no. **Quicker** **Easier** **More seductive**"
As it is, every Jedi is filling the part of another Vader. Now granted.... it would be damned *difficult* not impossible to become and stay a jedi knight in any way other than the one that the current jedi now practice.
However, hypothetically it is still possible. A jedi will defend himself, not lash out in attack. So what if you only killed that what attacked you? What if you used a lesser sabre, using only what can be found by *you* As the quest has been known to be by star wars fans for years!
The most difficult quest for the jedi.
Yes so armor let's you fight hordes of creatures at a time, and buffs make you nigh unstoppable. Of course people will do this. It's the most effective way. But is it the way of the jedi? I think not. Now of course the flames will commence and you will all tell me how crazy I am, and that it's not possible any other way. Blah blah blah.
Hey if you want to be the next Vader, or Maul. By all means go ahead. If you want to be the next Skywalker, or Kattarn. Maybe you ought to rethink the way you play this game. Why are you in such a rush anyway? Is there an end to SWG coming I don't know about? He who gets one xp point a day may never finish, but given enough time he will.
You grinded to Jedi, you haven't learned how to stop.
as I said folks. 25 hours of SWG, no sleep. The ramblings of a madman.
