I have a suggestion....


Why not make the jedi profession ment to be temporarily only?


So every characrter that unlocks can stay jedi and grind the skills until he/she gets DBd by some other player (BH or overt opposite faction jedi). When the jedi gets DBd he looses the jedi unlock and becomes a regular character again. You wont actually loose your items, house, speeders, mounts etc, only your jedi skills. The character may do a new skill respec to regualr skills when DBd. After that the jedi slot can't be reopened again with that character.


This is to be working with a server cap on jedi population, so there can never be too many jedis around. I'd say 10 light and 10 dark jedis would be fine. And when any of them gets DBd (or the account is unused for a long time) some other player gets to unlock jedi.


This way all gaming comminity has the chance of playing jedi without risking to loose thier characters and without overpopulating jedi and unbalancing the game.



What do you think?

This is how it was long ago and was changed to the current system for a reason.

I didn't spend months of subscription fees to level up a character, just to have it made worthless.


SOE can implement something like this, so long as they fully refund the 5+ months of Village grinding I did, plus the 4months it took me to get my Jedi levelled up.


In other words, it ain't gonna happen.


Nobody's definition of fun in a game is losing all the skills you worked for, for months - just because your client crashed or connection got goofed up. And when the game continues to demand that there areBH's breathing down your neck just to level at any adequate rate, permadeath is out of the question.

eeew, permadeath is one thing, but this is rather extreme.


See, with permadeath, you didnt lose your jedi, just the skills. And.. you got like 3 chances. This would not be a viable solution.

/agree


As for the refunding thing, I was just kinda being facetious. They certainly can change anything like, whenever they like. But there would definitely be an uproar about all the months of subscription fees to level Jedi, only to have it completely removed.

Oh no they just lost entire skills. The ability to wear certain armor. The ability to use their weapons. The ability to make money crafting / dancing. The loss of a role in the game. Hadentire inventories of gear convert into useless trinkets. Respect. Etc etc


But yeah. Poor Jedi might lose a skill box or two. Thats MAJOR !

Try 14 million experience, gained at 1k per kill (at higher levels). A box or two? Think again. You don't know what you're talking about.


As for losing entire skills, that was a RESPEC problem, and CS is involved in that. That's not a direct result of standard gameplay (like dying). It's a programming error. As for the armor/weapons/making money from crafting and dancing, those are changes related to the CU. Some people liked them and stayed. Others hated it and left. If you hate it so much, leave.
