Thread: New Jedi system
To those saying it will be a change in the unlocking method:
It did not say easier.... it said different, as in you wont have to change your character like you do now via holocrons. It may even be harder, but in a different way.

This is a game, not the movies. If the movies reflected anything in the real world, the rebellion would've been crushed in a week. A lone XWing blowing up a battlestation the size of a planet? I think not my friend.
Games are supposed to fun for everyone, challenging, presenting new frontiers to break, new ideas and things to try out.
Having to grind the same thing for weeks on out in a lonely forest with 0 player interaction is not exactly my idea of having fun in a game. And on top of this suddenly someone coming to kill you with 3 headshots and making you lose a week-two worth of horrible repetitious grinding.
If you wanted a game where being a Jedi was rare, they should've allocated a "20 Jedi maximum" on each server and then make those characters uber-powerful. But again, this would've broken the "fun factor" for those trying to attain that status.
A game. Not a movie. Not "reality" as such. Take it as a game, let it be fun for those who spent ages in opening their FS slots.
To those that think unlocking your FFS will not change, From the Jedi Coorespondant:

I read tihs as them not only changing the path to unlocking your FSCS, but also revoking the slots from those who already have a FSCS. I really hope they do. With such drastic changes to the system, there is going to be a great deal of animosity towards those who are already Jedi, and those that got cut short in the grinding. SO, wipe them clean, and let them start again with help from their "recognition" they will receive (shorter quests perhaps).
Holo-grinding was a stupid system from the start. If you didn't realize that in the beginning, and kept grinding...well all I can say is you deserve what you get for following such a poorly implemented plan.
To open the FS slot... very unclear and "blurry" statement. Kinda makes me thinking that.. well, I have 10 dollars saying that devs. have not yet decided whether or not HoloGrinding should be taken out and replaced with a Quest system.
I am thinking they are looking at several options for opening the FS slot :
1) Keep Holos, let those who want to grind, do so.
2) Replace Hologrind with a Quest
2) Add Quests - those who dont want to grind, can go this alternative way.
3) To open the FS slot, you have to Master 5 profession and THEN do a Quest.
Nontheless, they are probably making this unclear statement, in order to view feedback, and then decide what they are going to do.
My own translation of the statement was, at first :
"When you have become a Jedi, you can gain Jedi xp by doing specific Jedi Quests". After reading it over and over, and reading other peoples thoughts and arguments, I am now more unsure.
Confused.
Scared.. did I spend 500 hours in the cantina GrindDancing for nothing?
There is no way they will take away the slots that people have already opened. Talk about rediculous and unfare.
People are just reading way too much in to what has been said. Take a step back and read it again. They said "players who have put in work towards becoming a jedi.." that's people grinding out professions now will not have to start completely over. They've said in the past that "Jedi" does not mean Jedi Master, they're referring to FS characters.
Hopefully there will be alternate ways for jedi's to get xp other than just killing creatures, add some Star Wars feel to it. That's a great idea in my opinion. Well just have to wait another month or three to find out.
