Lol, dood, youve played this game for what, 5 months? Jedi didnt ruin the game, it was DEVs with game break decisicions like this. All they had to do was Fix FRS and introduce Light and Dark factions. And, I bet you would be playing another profession, because Jedi would not see the nerfs they have. And you, wouldnt be all Happy Happy Kill Kill, when you're sent to the cloner on your back faster then you can call your swoop....

LMAO, Fix the FRS and just introduce Light and Dark huh? Make Jedi even more popular to grind for? Currently there are over 32k posts in the Jedi profession forums. The second highest is BH with 7k. Developers realize having a single profession will destroy this game.... Hence they are incrreasing the power of other professions and making jedi less powerful so less folks are attracted to them.

They need to stay with the plan and let it work itself out and ignore the pale faced grinding geeks like you.

You're right, this will stop 100% of all people going for jedi because they want to be uber, unfortunatly, i'd say 80% of the jedi out there went jedi because they wanted to RP a Jedi. I went jedi because i wanted to RP a jedi. I also have a BH because i like to RP a BH. Most of the power hungry jedi i'd have to say are probably ebayed, and because of those ones the rest of hte Jedi community start to look bad.

The only way to remove jedi from this game is delete the characters.... which will only lead to lawsuits against SOE, so learn to live with us, remember, I'm your content, and you're my content..... of course, most BH i know don't like the thought that I enjoy it when they come after me.

Bottom line: according to George Lucas, the movies, the books, etc jedi should be about 100x stronger than any singl attacker. BUT that could never work in a multiplayer game where you are interacting with them. Alpha classes don't belong in MMO's. period. its not the dev's that create inballance, its the fact that jedi is/should be an alpha class.

what would star wars be w/o jedi????

The bounty hunters WERE hired to catch Luke Skywalker. The whole no disintegrations thing was because they wanted LUKE alive to bring to the emperor. Those bounty hunters were after LUKE who was training to be a JEDI.

ESB Shooting Script:

SECOND CONTROLLER: Sir, we have a priority signal from the Star
Destroyer Avenger.

PIETT: Right.

The group standing before Vader is a bizarre array of
galactic fortune hunters: There is Bossk, a slimy, tentacled
monster with two huge, bloodshot eyes in a soft baggy face;
Zuckuss and Dengar, two battle-scarred, mangy human types;
IG-88, a battered, tarnished chrome war droid; and Boba Fett,
a man in a weapon-covered armored space suit.

VADER: ...there will be a substantial reward for the one who finds
the Millennium Falcon. You are free to use any methods necessary, but
I want them alive. No disintegrations.

BOBA FETT: As you wish.

hmmm - Funny how it doesn't say "Find Luke Skywalker" there. It clearly says that Vader wants the Falcon. Now, we IMAGINE that it's because of Luke - But we have no proof.

Ok, I can agree with the Alpha clas theory... However they could work in SWG, if they expanded out the other professions to MAKE them have equivalent 'end game' or additionaly abilities.

Also, why restrict character alpha classes to just jedi, this is already a rich game of alpha classes, and more could be added. Why not allow a player to be an Alpha level NS or Sing Clan, etc.

There are a lot of ways to go with this. The other way to balance this would be to create a non-jedi planet, that would restrict their travel there. (i.e. Vader has strict Jedi checking transport there, and Jedi can't get there - which fit the story.)

Jedi can't be a non-alpha class, even in an MMO, just add more alpha classes into the game. They have some freedom to do this. And even take a regular profession like swordsman, why do their abilities and skill set have to end at Master Swordsman, allow through grind and proficiency to advance.

With regard to the proficiency, let the game look for signs of how well a characters survives hard circumstances, how well they know their template, how well they play their abilities. If they are a kick-butt Swordsman and can play the template to the maximum abilitiy based on PVE and PVP encounters, then allow them to advance the abilities, hit harder, new hidden abilities etc. i.e. Give every profession an alpha class. You could even add combat abilities to entertainers, use their freaking imagination.

Sure this would change the game a bit, but would be a GOOD change, and wouldn't be as massive of a change as the CU was, which we have yet to see any BENEFITS from....
