Got to say that being a Jedi even after seeing this video is not wanting me to go to the effort tounlock a slot and breakup my characters skill setto get it.

It's my understanding that the FSS requirements apply to an account not a character. Why not put your current char on hold, start a new one--on a different server of course--and grind the professions indicated by the holocrons found by the original char?

Is my understanding flawed?

Yes, it almost certainly will not be the same professions to master.

So when do we get to see some appendages flying off when the Jedi hit each other. Then the Droid Engineers will have something to make.

This video is very cool

Yes, it is. A thought occured to me after I watched it though; It would suck to be the guy who lost that fight, heheheh.

Very impressive video though, it made me want to grind out the profession requirements to get the FS slot.

RIGHTEOUS! RIGHTEOUS!

Ok...the video sucks..lags horribly...

Arnt those "moves" the same moves normal hand to hand (with staffs and swords) use...?

and also...I think limiting it to mastering stuff to become a jedi plain sucks. Maybe that could be one way, but honestly I think it should be different for each player. Like someone could become sensetive like how it is now, or a good roleplayer could become sensitive, or perhaps being loyal to his faction and going above and beyond, or perhaps have an invisible GM occasionall make a game run and see how people act, and "tag" a player to keep watching everyonce in awhile, or maybe have a GM act like a normal player and see how people respond to their character....sort of like a "Beauty and the Best" type scenario.

Just one little "master this....master that....do this...do that" is just plain boring. I know someone that was told by whatever that he had to master being an armorsmith to start becoming a jedi. So he dropped his bounty hunter profession and after days and days of drag and drop..click...click....drag and drop.... he unsuscribed. He went from something he was having fun with, to something he HATED.....

sorry Devs....forcing people to do things they hate, to be a class you'll eventually lose from perma-death......is not smart....

A lot of SWG stuff is "not smart"

for example

Armor...you can barely regen while wearing armor, but wait! That's not all! Your armor also degrades, but wait! That's not all! You need buffs just to put the armor on (although normally there are no doctors around at the time you play), but wait! That's not all! You can't even take off your armor unless you want to run all the way back to town and beg for doctor buffs!

and bounty hunting...

You FINALLY master scout and marksmen, but wait! You need 40,000 combat experience...which happens to be nearly the slowest type of xp. That's not all! While you're grinding for combat experience, you are getting absolutely nothing! New no skills to have fun with..just mindless boring killing for days and days and sometimes weeks! Once you're a bounty hunter, it gets even better! You can only have bounty missons on NPCs!!! (yes we know we SAID you could hunt other players before the release, we were just joking. Once we said we would, we figured it would just cause griefing so we removed our word) It's just like a normal mission...the computer pays you credits to kill some people, BUT....we make it HARDER! There is no waypoint where the enemy is...you have to find them! Awesome! BTW, your offense skills suck vs the other type of professions on the battlefield. Have fun!

Extremely disappointing gameplay.

The video was nice, unfortunately not being a jedi isn't nice. Nice of you to show something most casual players will never be. Its like only being allowed to play part of the game.

I had assumed that gettinga FS Slot was something that didn't involved doing a number of extermely time consuming and BORING things.

**edit**.... with this video and my 10 hour streak of playing kotOR, i'm going to be forced into the holocron grind. supid SOE

Great video of course I want ot be a jedi.

Thanks for coding it for power gamers though so I can't!

Please please please release more great footage so I can become completely disillusioned and drop out. I wanted to be a weaponsmith now I'm a novice medic doing the proffesion grind on my merger 6 hours a week of playtime. By the time I have ground my way to FS you will have capped the number andall Iwill be left with ismy monthy bill.

I'm a smart man but you guys are smarter you win! Ouch please SOE can I have another.

Anyone else notice that these two jedi are only doing 50-60 damage to each other? Either they are using training sabers (doubt it since one is using a double bladed saber) or their jedi defenses are so high that the sabers that normally do 1000+ damage are only doing 50-60 to them. If it's due to their defenses, normal player weapons are going to do at most 20-30 damage against jedi of that level. Ouch.

Next time show me a video of a bounty hunter killing a Jedi and I'll download it.

Nice Vid, hope its me one day.

Will it look like thisthis when twosaber-wielding FS characters duel in-game? In that case, it's awesome!
