Thread: Profile Question... makes sense?

So here you are, a BH and you grind out the painful BH xp, and the other weapons skills, maybe some master rifle and an assorted mix of other skills. When you are done, your profile says the following:


***has mastered the Bounty Hunting Profession

***has mastered the Rifleman Profession


Now any Jedi worth his salt is going to examine you if he thinks you might be a BH and after them. They will see that you are infact a BH and if they haven't done so already, they will pop foods, put up the aura, and start their other macros going, thus eliminating any sneak attack you might have planned. (not talking about other tactics, just when the Jedi sees you)


Yet, when I examine a jedi I see the this:


***has mastered the Pikeman Profession

***has mastered the Fencer Profession

***has mastered the Swordsman Profession

***has mastered the Brawler Profession

***list and any prof badges here you want


I have NEVER seen the following:


***has mastered the Defender Profession

***has mastered the Light Saber Profession

***etc


Wouldn't you agree that it's just another reason that SOE caters to the "elite class"? I tend to change my attack patterns and tactics based on what skills the jedi has, just like they do with us. If they see an MBH/pistoleer that fight will be entierly different than and MBH/Rifleman and they have the opportunity to know about it before hand and plan accordingly.


I know, I know.... the defense is we have first strike, right? And if we are good enough then it should be all we need... which with me it typically is all I need. But in the name of all BH's and the game in general, I'd sure like to see what I'm going up against. I can with every other class, and they can with me, so what is the deal?


On a side be related note, has there been any information from devs yah or nay as to whether we can turn off our profiles? Or at least our profession badges?

Jedi are in hiding in this timeframe so better not put jedi badges in your bio.

No offense at all.... but don't you see the irony in that statement? I think SOE abandonded the "timeline" a long time ago, when the made Jedi so easy to get. Originally they were rare, like the timeline dictates. Then almost overnight it seemed that the 5 or 6 jedi on each server became 500 or 600. They still are the smallest demographic around but there are FAR too many of them for my tastes. It's the old argument of "if I wanted to play KOTOR, I would be" It applies, but it's a gripe that can't be stopped at this point. SOE cannot realistically get rid of all the jedi through a number of publishes. They cannot all of a sudden take jedi out of the game. While there may be 500 or 600 (or more) Jedi per server, there are literally 10's of thousands of people working towards getting one with new ones each day.


In my guild, one of the first questions ALL the new people I see ask is: "How do I get a Jedi?" "How do I get glowy", etc.... it's sad really. I think for awhile the content was great, but now it seems that not only do we NEED the Jedi for the high level content, it's also geared spefically to them. I'm speaking for all non-jedi here when I say that it is BS... what about the people who never wanted a Jedi? Like myself and a close group I know.... none of us have ever really cared much about getting a Jedi character. It's not something we were looking for when we got the game. But now with recent publish changes, the availability of Jedi SEAs and less availability of non-jedi SEAs we are seemingly being forced into it. From a PvP standpoint, from a content standpoint, and also from a boredness standpoint. For me... I've done all the content, the quests, etc. Now I need to become a Jedi for something to do..... I think that's sad, really.


This could go on.... but I don't feel the need to you. You all get what I'm saying.

well sort of it lists all professions they masterd


their choice of templated is also limtited to only a few


no melee bh any more skill point require in them went up


all bh who hunt jedi are now MBH


so dosnt leave much room for others maybe 1 elite combat


and most have the healing from either doc or cm if not masters so a limited template set but does have some varity same as jedi

Well jedi are hiding in this timeline and i do agree its not really fair that they can tell what profession we are just by examining us. But if you got the smarts like methen you'll use your instincts to find out what profs the jedi is before you attack. But then again soon as you attack him and he see what your shooting him with (pistol rifle ect.) then he'll know your 2 master profs bh and ****** So ya i guess it is because of the timeline and it wouldn't be fair since jedi would get badges that we couldn't

You don't need to examine what you can see. Treat all Jedi like they're MD/MLS's & you'll start winning. Jedi do not wear armor cause it cancels their innate, 9 times out of 10 they are wearing that silly robe, you know they are Jedi. It's not impossible, you are bound to catch some of them AFK, out of force, or nearly dead from a mob/duel. You know what's up!



I chill at the party in my b-boy stance
Walk, cap low, KoK in my pants
Fly like a dove, that come from up above
My name's Iron Lung but you can say ONE LOVE!

I agree. I'm not a noob complaing that a Jedi beat me cause I wasn't prepared for his template. I was just commenting that I think it's a bit silly that while WE all have our master badges, jedi do not. The timeline thing is irrelevant since SOE decided to abandon it about the same time publish 9 hit.
