NOT ONE SINGLE WITNESS YELLED "OMG THIS IS IMMERSION BREAKING...THERE ARE NO JEDI IN THIS TIMELINE...OH GAWD...DEVS HELP...WHERE'S VADER? OMG OMG OMG OBI WAN OBVIOUSLY WAS AFK GRINDING SINCE I HAVNT SEEN HIM BEFORE NOW OMG TOO MANY JEDI OMG; /CRY;/WHINE"
in fact, the conversations fell silent for a short moment, then picked right back up, they all knew what Jedi were, they knew they existed, knew they were far more powerful than the average gunman, and they knew not to open their big fat mouth and complain about them.
welcome to starwars...stop crying because your hella lame.
Also notice that stormtroopers showed up right after and the jedi master even ran!
Sorry did I give the impression i wanted to be a jedi?
Or even more troubling, you think that people who complain are all just jealous, that it?
But that's the real point isn't it.
Their fun will be over, they will look blankly at each other, all with sabre in hand and then, quite naturally ...all leave. To the next game. leaving Swg gutted and lifeless.
Will they look back and think "you know maybe in the end, those that went on about too many jedis, they were right after all"..., well no of course not. They will have too muchwork grinding their next "I WIN" prof in another mmorg.
The only reason perhaps some are still here is becuase well this mmorg has graced them with a film recentlyshowing these mighty jedis kickin everyones ass, makes their "i am the winn0h!" all that much easier to fantasize.

um yeah ok.
I think this dooms day senario was written out about 2 years ago only it was about Creature Handlers. go ahead generalize and nerf call. Its what you do best.
"But the argument isnt if there are chefs it is if they are shownin the movies. There is not a true "Chef shown" Since the argument is we only see a few Jedi in the movies."
But there is a true chef shown. Sure, he is also a well-informed, knowledgeable, four-armed....creature...but his profession is obviously that of "chef" in the "diner" that he is working at in Attack of the Clones.
Bah whats the point anymore lol!
I don't hate Jedi. I hate that they are in the game because of where the originial timeline was supposed to fall.
I don't hate Jedi. I despise that nearly all high level content requires that a Jedi or even multiple Jedi be present to complete it.
I don't hate Jedi. I hate that publish after publish after patch after patch is nearly centrally focused on balancing an un-balanceable alpha class profession while countless bugs with "normal" professions get completely ignored
I don't hate Jedi. I hate that the Galactic Civil War, after two years, is still a worthless POS in game design.
I don't hate Jedi. I hate that, while great additions to content are added,they areso buggy that they are rendered nearly unplayable.
I don't hate Jedi. I hate that integral parts of the Star Wars lore, such as droids, the Empire, Space Combat and Vehicular combatare little to nothing like they were in any Star Wars movie I have ever seen.
I don't hate Jedi. I hate that Jedi are allowed to be a part of the Empire. An organization ruled by a Sith Master and governed by the Sith Lord that wiped out nearly all of the Old Republics Jedi Knights and Masters.
I don't hate Jedi. I hate that not a single player Jedi I have encountered at anytime made me feel remotely like I was in the presence of a Jedi Knight, Master or Padawan.
As a matter of fact.... I LOVE JEDI...
But they have no place in an MMORPG based on Star Wars set in between A New Hope and the Empire Strikes Back....

then why are you bringing up a Chef that is not is the OT to base an argument on?
This game has no timeline. it may have once but that is long gone.
So basically what you are saying is that if its in the EU or canon it is ok as long as it is not Jedi.
Ok got it thank you.
There are just as many things in the game to point away from a particular timeframe as there are showing one.

It's not so much that there are too many... its that they are too visible. There needs to be more in-game consequences for gaining visibility.
Something like an "Imperial Crackdown - Phase 2", where squads of level 90 Dark Troopers are dispatched randomly to cities where NPC's have reported Jedi activity.
Flash the glowstick... get outta town before the Lambda shuttle arrives.
I'd say to give 'em weapons that can "wound" the force bar (heal over time) to make dieing at their hands something for even a full temp to avoid.
I have to disagree slightly. I think that one major problem is that there are indeed, too many. Right now I can name probably 50 Jedi Knights off of the top of my head. There are more, and more, and more everyday. And now after the CU, some are saying that the grind is even easier.
