Why? Because of ONE duel between Obi Wan and Vadar? I think more people wanted to be an X-Wing pilot or smuggler rather than a Jedi. You forget this game is based on "A New Hope", not "Attack of the Clones".






You too - I dunno what you're smoking but in 1977 it was the Saber that ignited our imagination....and it was Lucas's purpose for it to do so.


Duh...I know all about this game - been playin since launch and watching it since before that.









Man, in the words of Towlie: "I have no idea what's goin' on"...


I'm not sure who to side with here. I saw the '77 flick "Star Wars" (NOT "A New Hope" for all you '80+ fans) and I have to say that it was hardly aboutJedi or bounty hunters at all. It was a tale of friendship, wisdom, anti-heros, evil, and hopeless rebellion. Yes, there was a Jedi "general" in this movie. Yes, he fought his old "pupil," Darth Vader in this movie. But this was all before the other 5 movies, and was pretty much back-story. If you think Lucas had some magical plan for the other5 movies, you're dreaming.


I agree. When you put all 3 original trilogy movies, the 3 crapilogy movies, and the expanded universe together, the focus is on Jedi and the Force. But that's not what "Star Wars" was about, at least not to me when I watched it. Looking back, maybe, but not in 1977.


And, for the record, I wanted to be an X-wing pilot...


EDIT: BUT NOT PORKINS!

Very very simple to become jedi = a 22+ week grind for village + your jedi grind.


That is atleast 3-5 months with of grinding which = money in SOEs coffers.


The ginds for a MBH or any other profession is a few weeks.(I went from Mpistols MCM BH4xxx back to MRifles, MBH in less then 1 week. turn off double XP and this is a 2 or 3 week grind)



ITS ALL ABOUT THE MONEY!

Sony is in alot of legal troubles as of late....they are gaining an image as quite a shifty company. Between fake movie critics and issues with radio station payoffs.

SOE dont favor BHs before Jedi. As they dont favor Jedi before BHs. Im sure everyone at SOE have personal opinions too. Im sure some Love jedi and would see BHs wiped out, while others are strong supporters of BHs and want to see Jedi hunted into oblivion! But I am sure that all of them are PROFESSIONAL and GROWN UP enough to put a lock on their strongest opinions, and do whats best for the game! ofcource their decisions might be, and will be, coloured by their opinions. But that does not mean they are overly going in to ruin any particular profession!

Garva, Virrago, Thunder and Tiggs have all stated that they do not show favorism. They have stated that they try to do the best for the game. We all know that balancing a profession is not easy! If you feel someting is unfair take it up with your correspondent, and he will forward it to SOE. We at the jedi forum do ofcource the same thing! If we feel something is unfair we tell our correspondent about it. But untill someone shows me any evidence of the oposite I have fait in these people are actually trying to balance our professions to the best of their ability!

They are not always right offcource. We are all humans. But SOE have prooved their will to correct anything that severly unbalances the game. in positive or negative ways.

I don't believe that bro. If that were the case and someone found out and had proof, SOE would be in the court room so fast their heads would spin.







If you don't think a vast majority of Developers don't have and play insta rolled Jedi toons, you are kidding yourself.
