This weeks friday feature is very encouraging!

after doin much of the grinding i find it refreshing that they are considering doing something about the incessent grind people are now doing. I for one applaud them for the fact that they listened to many of us and are adding a quest based side to getting the FSS.

I am not to sure about the long term affects that the new skill revocation system will create . I think that it will lead to way to many jedi on the system. maybe the skill revocation should be worse then they are proposing but less severe the the current one. like you lose 1/4 of your skills on on your 3 death within a week or something... something that will curtail to many jedi from coming into play needs to be in place.

well anyway that is just my opinion and I am sure many people would disagree - but with the current rarety of jedi I think reflects the Stars Wars universe quite well.

It sounds nice the quest based system, but no perma-death is a bad idea. Especially no perma-death on a recycling death system. This way all anyone has to do is wait their week and have their count reset, or diminish or whatever they're proposing, so basiically it's a no risk thing, so Jedi are gonna just build up. Quest base system, good idea, no perma-death, semi good idea, but penalty on death needs to be way more harsh that what they've made it.

All I hear people complaining about is not enough fun b/c you can't use your powers, etc. then that it breaks continuity.

I like it, of course Holocrons just became worthless on the marketplace. LOL

Seriously though, I have lost major interest in the game because of the grind crud. My last Holo said Weaponsmith, and I absolutely, positively abhore it. I am not and have not been interested in the artisan professions (I know some people love them but they are not for me). Grinding weaponsmith is like a punishment to me.

Now, I have a hope out there. I can either continue the grind or I can just sit back and wait for the new system to be implemented (After all Patience is a Jedi virtue :-)).

Not to sure about the Perma-death changes though. The last thing I want to see is "cowboy" Jedi's running around showing off -- a real possibility if they have no fear of losing the character. Hopefully the Skill loss setup will be effective in combating this. Guess we shall see soon enough.

I'm just curious, but I must have missed the part where the dev said the quest-system was for the GRIND.

From the friday featuure it seemed like he was saying there's a quest-based system for the Jedi. That could mean quests for those ALREADY Jedi...

Did I miss an important post somewhere about this? Or is this just conjecture?

The second phase will be to rebuild the Jedi system to be quest-oriented; and toinclude the familiar elements of Force Sensitivity, Jedi-oriented quests, as well as many other elements the developers and the community feel should make up the process of becoming a Jedi.

Sounds kinda like that's what they're gettin at to me.

My biggest fear is making a quest that only can do at a time or so many during a time period. Remember how bad holo camping was!?!?! PLEASE don't make this into that.

The one good thing about the holo grinding is that anyone could do it at their leisure.

I couldn't really tell what the heck they meant. The Devs need to make a clearer statement, with more details, IMO. I need to know whether to continue my holo grind (meaning giving up CH and Commando, my "fun" profs, not grinds) or just stick with them...

I have to agree. The way it is worded and the context of the post seems to suggest that this is all part of the Jedi profession and not the Holocron grind. Until a dev clarifies this I wouldn't get your hopes up about the holocron system disappearing.

Of course this announcment was for "already Jedis." Made perfect sense to me.

I'm not sure where anyone reading the message got the idea it was for anyone other than Jedis.

In plain English:

As a Jedi, you no longer have to grind to get your xp and skill tree. There will be quests to advance you.

The End.

3) To open the FS slot, you have to Master 5 profession and THEN do a Quest.

Yeah! I Agree they should shoot the game in the head and let it out of its misery. 5 professions grind is already enough retarded.

In another thread TH answered a question regarding Holocrons. He said they will no longer drop in the game, but if you have any you can keep them. He then stated he's keeping his "because he likes collecting silly things".

Sounds to me like Holocrons are now blue and red paperwieghts......lol.

p.s. I don't remember which thread, so go check the Dev tracker

re-read the post, it does NOT say they are changing the waywe open our fs slot, they are making THE JEDI PROFESSION more quest based with skill revocation for dying...
