I have one more unlock to before becoming jedi, but I plan to remain MCH and fill the rest of my temp with jedi skills. Should be quite a powerful temp, plus I won't have to relearn all the abilities with an alt.

Or your friend doesn't want you to know who is alt is. A lot of Jedi with BH alts are like that.


Edit: But to get this post back on track, I am starting to get annoyed with the grind. The amount of time required to grind abilities is excessive. I have stopped the 'pure grinding' and have gone back to doing what I enjoy, fighting high level mobs. But now it is taking me about five lairs to learn an L1 ability from a level 25 pet. Spent a night fighting with a level 58 BE pet and a level 12 wild pet, gained the wild pets ability but did not gain a single maturity level for the BE pet. At this rate it will take two weeks working on that one pet alone to get it fully mature. And then I have level 69 and 70 pets to worry about. One already has vitality loss so it is prob not worth the effort and he will have to be euthanized.

My mistake...it wasn't that it doesn't open another slot...it's that you can't choose which character is going to be the jedi. Got confused

My CH is going jedi. But i'm not dropping MCH. She will be MCH/MPowers. Should be great fun.

Welcome to Star Wars Grind: The Grouping Experience.


That's the sad reality of the post-CU world. Either you can get with that concept or you can't. I... am a soloer at heart. That's why MCH worked so well for me for so long. It was a wonderful utility profession that complimented anything I wanted to do. It was a joke in PvP and was limited in high-end PvE, but day-to-day, it just worked. It was fun. It had content other professions didn't.


I could do the jedi grind because there was a brass ring at the end of it. Something I'd neverhad before and couldn't have otherwise. Or at least, the promise of one.


I can't do the CH grind because the reward (having some form of pet utility) is not worth the time required. I can't do it again because I can't solo. I can't solo because of the CU. The CU took away the utility of my pets. It's a Catch-22. The devs took something away from us all, and then offered it back to us witha massivetime-sink attached to it. I just can't see how people aren't disgusted by that.


Even if you don't approach it like a grind. Even if you just "play" with your pets to get where you need to be, you're looking at an insanerequirement to regain basic utility that had been stripped from us by the CU.


Oh, and...

OK, I once cotemplated being a Jedi and besides the cheap marketing gimmickness of Jedi, there was another thing that pushed me away from wanting one.



OK I grind a full temp big deal! I still have no content FRS you say? Guess whatonly a MMORPG n00b can believe that non-exploiters will be force ranked. So basically I did that big grind and all that bull crap and still ended up with nothing.


IMO, CH has more content then jedi and if this system works out how we hope it will, we will have even more content.


-CH has more content? Yes, finding babies and taming them is fun. Training your pets into cold blooded killing machines is fun. Sitting in a Starport and dueling some other boob is boring.


-If the system works out how we hope it will, we will have more content? If the system works and these specials are truely "SPECIAL" then we should see a rise in demand for Non-CH pets. Non-CH's will want that pet with Hamstring L3 or KD or Imperialing Feint or whatever (maybe Pinning Attack if it exists). This will give us lots to do and since leveling pets is a pain will make us decent credits (A l337 PVP'er will pay, if the specials are worth it).



I'm not saying CH has the most content in the game, because we do not. The people that have the most content in this game are BH's.But that is another topic and I hope I have cionvinced you to quit grinding and just enjoy the dammed game





BTW I do not see getting specials as grinding, I look at it more like crafting. You search for componants and you keep working on them until you get a product. Though this is just my opinion so it only means something to me, unless you want to follow my philosophy and join my religion. If you want to join my religion you must sign all your worldly possesions over to me and work in my sweat shop...... err comunity of believers

If the system works out we'll get all the specials, train up appropriate pet combos, and viola, we're done. No need to tame things when you've bought/tamed all the proper pets to put specials on and you already have all the specials, is there? Jedi can do PvE and PvP. CH, like any other profession with no direct endgame content, may ALSO do PvE and PvP. It will probably have more RP and "Cool" value than jedi sure, but it'll still be weaker, (Unless we discover something like petpin L3 is on gaping spider queens and delivers permanent root which never breaks) and the content will still be mostly the same.

CH should be 1.5 times as powerful as a normal template.

I'm a casual player and I'm lucky to get in 5-10 hours of serious play time a week......even so I'm not to upset at the seemingly jedi like grind involved with the new system....although it could shortened a bit to make it a little more player friendly...


it surprizes me more and more that SOE seems to be clueless to the success of games offering a faster grind experience. they seem to be slowing things down more and more expecting a positive response to the change, but its just a fact that not everyone can play a MMO 8-10 hours a day to enjoy the full game.

Jedi don't get a 2nd character now when they unlock...haven't for some time now. So if you wanted to have a Jedi and a CH on the same server you'd need 2 accounts.

When did this change? And could you please point us to a dev/corr. post to back it up?
