Thread: Little Idea I had today while in game...
LxKane wrote:The Vader idea isn't really bad but if they put that in the game Vader would do so much traveling in one week that he'd be able to use his frequent flyer miles for the rest of his life. I think something the equivalent of Nova Troopers would be appropiate though.And there needs to be a way for Jedi to reduce thier vis but still be able to play thier character. Like when they die to a BH that has thier mission they are taken off the terminals until they get more vis, instead of having them not play thier chatacter.
I agree, the people who play the jedi are paying customers just like you. They should NOT be punished by not being able to play their characters just because they happened to loose to a bh.
problem is its the scenario that you arnt allowed to play your main account, and i'm not too keen on my alt as i unlocked jedi and i want to play as jedi not wait for 2 weeks everytime i get a npc/bh attack in a public place
and btw BH were given jedi missions as a form of content not to keep jedi population down

That is why they have an alt character. The point of the post is to make Jedi want to avoid vis by punishing them if they do not. Staying off their character is the way to avoid losing it is not a requirement. By all means take the death and take the penalities. Something more than a BH will come after you that you can easily stomp into the group does nothing to want them not to get vis. Most of them look at it as fun PVP and want more vis so they have a better chance of getting on the terminals.
Playing a Jedi character is not a right it is privelage that they earned through months of grinding. This system would bring back the normal character as the main focus since Jedi would be avoid vis like the plauge or being forced to regrind their stuff since they were foolish enough to think they can just go around doing whatever they please without penalty. Time to take Jedi down a rung or two and remind them they are not gods of the game.
You sit here spouting this crap, then sit on the FS forums saying that you think Jedi should be easier to get? You sir are a hypocrite and an idiot. If your forum date is any indication (and I think it is judging by your previous posts) you have no idea how this game works. You have no idea what changes BH's and Jedihave gone through to get to the point we are at now. Jedi have been nerfed into the ground and still you call it a privalege? And you want to penalize a group of people just because they want to have fun PvP'ing? Where is the penalty for BH's that fail their mission? Whereare the checks and balances for the power that BH's have been given? Not that I think there should be, but by your logic next to Jedi, BH's have received more Dev attention by far then any other class. So were are the penalties? I'll agree with you on one point. Jedias it stands now should be no more powerful then a regular profession. But in doing that all penalties need to be removed.SOE commited the cardinal sin of MMO's by introducing an alpha class to unbalance the game. And then to fix it decidedit would be a good idea to add in what at it's very core amounts to Dev supported griefing by introducing Jedi bounties. It was a flawed idea from the start and waspoorly implemented in all it's forms.
If seeing Jedi run around in a game really pisses you off so much you feel the need to punish them.... You seriously need to reevaluate your priorities in life.
Holzen making a Jedi easier to get and penalities for having vis does not make me a hypocrite. You might need to check your definition of the word before you spout it off. Also, who cares how easy it is get something in a game.
The penalty is not for playing your Jedi but for getting Visibility. One can play their Jedi and not get visibility however, for those that do here is a punishment for a neglected in game system.
Nerfs or not the Jedi profession is the most powerful in the game where almost all other professions are negelected is not right I would say.
Get a clue before you go and spout things you know not of Holzen

The problem with your logic is that many people create jedi to enjoy high end content or pvpin the game. Doing so requires the use of force powers, which is usually going to generate visibility. So, aside from logging in to chat with friends (and who among us is going to pay $15 for that honor?) or decorate a house, that pretty much makes it useless and undesirable to attain a Jedi character. Which, while I'm sure is your goal here, will never be Sony's goal because it will severely crimp their profits.
