Thread: Jedi Population Control
Amazing that this permadeath/jedi population control post pops up every day now...from diffrent posters too...
hmmm....could it be that theres a big part of the playing community that actually wants less jedi?
hmmm...could it be so that SOE actually has knowledge of this, even if some jedi loudmouths are trying to silance the majority of players?
I think we'r moving towards new times for jedi...and that scares the xxxx outta jedi players...they know they'r time is up.
Reading comprehension is kinda rare this early in the morning, innit?
He's AGREEING that its TOO LATE for POPULATION CONTROL! He's saying that better VISIBILITY CONTROL is what is needed.
Post pub20, Bounty Hunters can't fill that role. Most of us spend most of our time trying to find a mark that we have a chance to actually take down 1 on 1... the ones gaining Max Vis farming Stormtroopers in front of the Spaceport in Theed are usually fully doc/buffed healed and ready to go.
Personally I think, you should be asking for the return of some form of Saber TEF.

Its clear that there are too many jedi on servers these days, even mine, euro-infinity which probably has no where near as many. What's done is done and there was no system put in place to slow down the rate of jedi only speed it up.
I think what needs to be done now is not to stop the amount of people becoming jedi but really push at making it so to see a jedi would be rare. This would involve once again making the jedi become a secretive profession, but with a strong sense of a jedi community. This may be implemented in the new FRS, but i think it really needs to be pushed. exactly how this could happen im not to sure about which is why i posted to see if anyone had any ideas about what could be done so that once again Jedi could be a spectacle rather than just another player who waves a lightsabre.
Want jedi hidden? Let Boba Fett, Mara Jade and Vader loose on the high vis jedi.. That would get us hiding.

Ohh, you mean like the Devs promised us in Beta? NPC hunting of careless Force Wielders (I *refuse* to call most of them 'Jedi')? I *guarantee* we'd see less glowstick users if Vader or a bunch of Inquisitors dropped in when the BH's failed a few times.
I think you'll see that as soon as they bring back permadeath.
Losing permadeath was the worst decision made by the Devs, second only to the damnable hologrind. And I'm a player that's dedicated to helping FS users!

I agree there should be some visibilty control, but Saber TEF isn't going work any more. Back when Jedi were strong, it was fine, but now it's not going happen.
You go to grind in a group and you get killed by some group mate, or, someone finds you grinding and kills you, or you try and PvP only to get jumped by coverts of the opposite faction. Jedi just arn't strong enough for saber TEF in the old form to work any more.

That's exactly the point of Saber TEF.
IMO, there should be a Saber TEF, but first a kind of meaningul FRS has to be implemented to take the place of all the content the Saber TEF would f' over (GCW for one). I think most of thecommunitywould agree that jedi should be waging their underground war in the middle of nowhere on Yavin rather than alongside Stormtroopers in the Theed starport.
there are too many jedi now for a saber tef its jsut stupid. Is what they need to do is close the village. If you dotn have jedi now Your SOL.and the only way you get it is if you get lucky.And unlock it through some sort of reward thign for people.

I know that's the point, but it's simply not balancing. I could see if it was only static cities, but if you get a TEF any time you use a saber, Jedi are gone from the GCW for the most part.

I'm a two year Vet, but I still don't agree with this. Their 15 bucks a month is just as good as yours. Just because they a new, they don't deserve the right to ever make Jedi?
Sounds kinda like "I've got mine so I don't care about you" kinda thing, and that's just wrong.
