Thread: Veteran jedi get free **edit**
Everything you complain that you've done harder then jedi, jedi have done atleast twice as hard, then did it all again for their second character slot. The benifits we get for unlocking before this new system makes us about as special as someone with the "Special Addition" of SWG is with their "cool" goggles.

QFE ... ive had this game for a year and a half ( i registered to the forums a few months after buying the game)
i want a gun with higher damage than other guns, the same way jedi are getting the special lightsaber ... and armor with special bonuses in comparison to the special jedi robe ...
Your stuff can be crafted by someone to be more powerful.
i paid and played this game too and have killed more mobs and technically gotten more experience than many many jedi .. i want my rewards too ...
Do you have any idea on the millions of xp it takes just to unlock regaurdless of the method you did itlet alone the millions upon millions of xp to actually level? I doubt you're done more.
if jedi want something special .. i think let them have their second character slot .. thats fine withme ... i think thats a good reward for grinding jedi ...they get to save 15$ a month for as long as theiy have the game cuz of their free second slot ..
but to let em walk around with awesomer lightsabers and robes and as blue glowy ghosts while the other jedi cant? thats fine .. as long as they give me cool stuff for beiong a 1 1/2 year vet too ...
Being a blow glowy in this system is going to be just as "special" as wearing a jedi padawan title is now.
P.s. i think i deserve it more since as a BH to compete VS jedi in PVP i have had to spend hundreds of million on guns and special armor and ADK kits to ADK my guns and armor ...HUNDREDS of million of credits which are now going to be thrown out the window cuz there is no more decay and my armor with multiple proffession attachments ( like my master carbineer/master combat medic armor) is going to be worthless ...
lol, first off, nobody forced you to fight and "compete" against us. Secondly, you're thinking that jedi don't have to worry about these again. The case is exaclty the oposite. It costs jedi "hundreds" of millions of credits to become jedi and more "hundreds" of millions on crystals, pearls, and the rare skill tapes. Our ADK's cost just as much for us to buy for our sabers and all the same equipment you have on our alts.
i want to be compensated for the time and stress i have put into this game
so please SOE ... reward my hard work and my loyalty to you and your game .. other than that i actually am excited about the NGE and the new changes

Dude you mastered your profession in 3 weeks. Shut up.
Cant you read,he clearly states that he never wanted to be jedihe only became one to try something diffrent, who cares how long it took him to get jedi, he just wanted something else to do
So what's he wanting a reward for? He's still getting to be a BH. Jedi are given these pathtic rewards becuase when most started out on Jedi path, Jedi was sold to them as 1.5 times better then the rest. This was what justified the reason for the extra long grind, and now, SOE are making Jedi the same as anyone else. Now I dont expect anyone who's never been a Jedi to understand, least of all whiney BH's, but when you work your **edit** of for a year to become sonething special and they remove that over night, excuse F8*ing me if we want more than what those jokers at SOE are giving us. WOW we can turn blue. You will never understand becuase you dont want to, simple.
What the hell are they thinking? Who the hell would want to be a blue cloud of Force energy floating around? That should be a PENALTY for dying, and by the way, we NEED PENALTIES FOR DYING!!! Come on, SOE! What are you thinking???!!! One of the most points of the Star Wars characters is to STAY ALIVE!!! If we don't care about staying alive, then we have one less thing to base our character around. You want to implememtn a Quest-based game to point people in a certain direction. How about making people try desperately to stay alive? That would be a nice objective.
When someone dies, if their armor doesn't decay, we should get a kickass selection of rewards to replace the ADK's. We should be able to keep the ADK's in our guns, though, because they're kind of a trophy. People work really hard ADKing their stuff, and it's something to be proud of to have an uber FW FWG5 pistol with an ADK and a full set of Ubese or RIS with capped energy resists and awesome armour attachments. Attachments, clothing and armour, should STAY. They're a good thing. Maybe they could be replaced by trophies or badges that you would attac to your weapon/armour/clothing and which would then inspire you to kick more ass at what you do.
In summary, give every player something awesome if they have an ADK, and give them that many good items for the number of ADK's in their inventories. Keep attachments, resists, and let people keep their armour and have it still kick ass. Maybe make it impossible to get armour as good as the stuff we have now so that new players will be at a disadvantage to the Vets, who give you MONEY, until they establihs themselves and can buy uber armour/weapons, etc. Since their would be no decay, why not let us hunt every player, with player-issued bounties, which many people accross the forums have been begging for. It makes the game EXCITING. ...and therefore, FUN! Which means more people will play it...which means MONEY. MONEY! DO IT!
...I'm off to hunt...
The veteran rewards should have been tiered IMO and based on time in game, not Jedi. How about >2 year get to be CL90. 1-2 years get to be CL85. Something like that. Something real and meaningful for all veterans. And yeah, I guess CL81 for 6-12 months. Less than 6 months, come on, do you even consider yourself a veteran, I sure don't. I am not sure I am one at 14 months.
They are giving us (jedi) junk it sounds like. A robe, tag, and a some crystal (oooo). Will not come close to making up for that they are taking away.
On another view, how about all the CH and such that have been in game for a long time. They don't even get to be CH anymore. Hard to say who is borked the most by CU2 and as we have so few details, it is really hard to assess.

Dude you mastered your profession in 3 weeks. Shut up.
It's not how much you grind it is how much you add to the community. I know a lot of non Jedi that have done way more for the Kauri community than 90% of the Jedi there who were more interested in grinding to be uber.

also a good point ... even though ive been maxed on XP for quite some time and finished and content with my template with no plans to change it or grind out more .. i have taken many low level guys out of the dantooine MO and helped em grind with no benefit to me ... ( the money isnt great i can make 10 times as much looting)
im also devoted to my guild in helping guildies grind, make money, and finish quests... and devoted to my city .. bringing it up to level getting the shuttleport and city structures and such ...
i hate sounding like im looking for ..i dont know... "a pat on the back" .. maybe i am ... but i have seen a LOT of greedy players in this game ... jedi and NON-jedi alike ...
the community was never as, compassionate or .."together" as other mmorpg's ive seen ... SWG'ers are very independent and self-centered
and i did this pre CU as well .. back in the solo days to help poor friends make money .....not saying jedi havent done this .. butmany jedi were obsessed with thier grinding for template power ( i will concede some jedi love the proffession for the RP qualities as well just being avid fans of the star wars universe )
