I was doing some thinking over the weekend and reading of the forums. It came to me that alot of people are upset because of SO many jedi running around. So I thought to myself you know there is quite a few and no matter what we as BH's do there will always be. So I had an idea, which WE ALL know SOE would never do bc then we would have whiney players, but wanted to share anyhow.
What if they allowed EVERYONE a jedi toon to start so the ones that just want the second slot can have it. However the jedi toon is like the Hardcore character in the old classic Diablo II. Basically for those that never played it it works like this. You get to select the toon and do evcerything that a normal player gets to do, BUT when you die, you do just that DIE. So when you are dead you do not have to go through the hell of regrinding at the village and all that if you are serious about being a jedi master then they can just start all over again.
Now what is the reward here you may ask, it is this:
A) You automatically get to have 2 slots per server which most people just want any how, and they can be made into whatever you want.
B) It allows more of a challenge to jedi and more of a reward to a BH, so allow us to actually KILL a jedi from the server.
C) You eliminate the grind of the village that is not any sort of quest its just a grind fest free for all.
D) For jedi you allow them when they hit knighthood to try a series of quests to become a master jedi, and if they achieve the mastery status then their toon becomes a normal toon that does not die upon death anymore. This way they actually can achieve something for the hard challenge.
E) It makes it more Star Warsy like they have been wanting to do and gives more content not just for the BH but now for the jedi, and should ELIMINATE the AFK jedi grinding on Kash to gain an edge on everyone.
Like I said this was just a thought now to see what others think, EVEN though we know this would never get put into place, but sure would make the game alot more fun!
By the way I would also play a jedi for the thrill as well!

Heh, you must be new here. This is almost exactly how things did work, pre-Publish 9. You still had to unlock Jedi, but once you did you got a second character slot that was force sensitive and had permadeath.

Lmao nope actually I am not new I have had three jedi myself thankks very much. I know how it use to work, AND IT WAS NEVER permanently live after you achieved a status it was always permadeath.
To prove to you I unlocked on my 13th profession of doc during the holo-grind days. I then did another using grenades when the village was first implemented, and did another post-cu.
Publish 9 was the jedi revamp where we jedi all had the same template then they gave us 5 different trees to be a tad different, but of course we all found the FOTM template for jedi and again were all the same, no fun there.
so now back to topic bring bac k permadeath to an extent WITHOUT having to unlock make it a starting profession that is ALWAYS being hunted. Add more content to the game for all, but on the flip side making it harder as well to be a full temp jedi.

Ah, ok, I misread the initial post. That would be interesting, but I doubt anything like that would ever be implemented. Initially, Jedi were (initially) supposed to be hard to get and hard to keep, and every publish moves a little farther away from the "hard to keep" end of the spectrum, focusing the difficulty of Jedi on the "hard to get" portion. Your idea is more or less the exact opposite.
Definitely would be fun to play, and it would have the effect of making full-template Jedi extremely rare, which would be great.

or just bring the holo-grind back.
This was way to easy. It was easier than the way it is now lol!
Bh has been fun to play my hardest part is like the gentleman above the post stated full template jedi are not rare and never will be again bc there is NO way to control the population. I mean yes we can slow down, but without breaks a car does not stop, same with jedi. Slowing down is just a days worth of a grind.
So maybe something will be done one day bc when we go against a full-temp generally we either get a draw or get beat or they run away eventually.
If there was an actual death involved yes would be more strategy involved on our end which would be more fun, but we all know soon this will be Star Wars: Gaxies of Jedi!
