You want our comment? How about stop giving vague statements with what you're going to do with current Jedi and what you're going to do with future Jedi.

What happens to the holo grinders that haven't unlocked?



They get to play through the new quest system in Publish 10.






You CLEARLY stated earlier that previous efforts would be taken into account for those who have started the hologrind but not yet unlocked their FSCS. Is this not the case, and any previous work will in fact be ignored?

?? Does this mean. Everyone will have two slots per server as well? And be FS? creating thousands of Jedi running around? Still kind of confused about this.



Successful Jedi Knights will have the opportunity for two slots (in the current design), but it will be difficult to attain.






Im lost TH, I did not understand your answer at all. Are you saying first I gotta make my Char FS, then train him up to Knight to unlock a Second Char? 0.o

TH if theres any way to tell current jedi where theywill be placed in new system "like if your a padawn you'll be here in the new system or if your a guardian you'llbe here etc." would be cool.

Maybe it means instead of 8 slots per account as it is now, it will be reduced to two slots per account, but both can be on the same server if desired... ???






they damn well better not cut us down to 2 characters per account. I have 3 as it is now

Just a few things I want to get out in the open. First of all, I think that the players that really wanted to be Jedi chose to grind away. Not that too many of us embraced that aspect of the game, but you have to do what you have to do. Was it too easy to get Jedi in the beginning? Perhaps, hence the reason no one unlocks at less than 25 anymore, or so it seems. I myself am on my 23rd profession, and if I need to do all 32, I probably have time still. However, there are a number of people that have done 8 or 10 or whatever, and these are casual players. To penalize them because they lack the time to master more professions is sad. I am quite certain that I am finished with this game if I don't unlock before the change, and I am also certain that many others are as well. You make it sound like a priviledge to have all of your hard work erased so you can take on a completely new challenge, and Thunderheart, you know you would feel the same way if you looked at this from a player perspectiveWe are all aware that there are quests in this game that are and have been broken since launch. No way will I put faith into that system. You have your doubts about this? Try a interplanetary bounty hunter mission or two. But, before anyone blames the Devs for this, remember, be careful what you wish for. There are peopl on these forums with literally thousands of posts, I wonder when they have the time to actually play the game they are trying to develop. In my opinion the players pay SOE to develop and publish a game with THEIR VISION. It has set a bad precedent that a little whining by a lot of dev wannabes is enough to change that vision. So, I ask of you, SOE, develop the game as YOU see fit. Let the wannabes develop their own games if they know so much. The forums should be a place to get problems out in the open, not a place for players (esp. a mionority of them) to change the game. Look to Asheron's Call 2 if you want to see where that path leads......

Man this is Horrible - anything thats done to the game people will still be negative - I dont even know whats good or bad anymore in this game - Honestly, I think I am just gonna give up on being serious anymore and play Tetris or something hehe. I feel like I am almost working for SONY OR SWG. Play hours a day - leave feedback - Promote the game to friends and family. Really this is getting out of hand for everyone. Cant we just have a game where everyone can have fun! Its not like this game is gonna last much longer guys with all the new software designers pouring into the market.



THUNDERHEART - IF YOU DONT GET some help - or at least try to make these guys happy - You should consider making some changes. YOU seem to be under a lot of heat man and I pray the Force is with you bro.


GUYS LETS TRY TO MAKE THINGS AS EASY AND CLEAR AS WE CAN for this guy. **edit** so many mixed feelings here.

This first phase of the Jedi revamp focuses on the core of the Jedi system. Being a Jedi will dramatically change as the possible paths to Jedi mastery will now have many different elements to suit different play styles. Advancing down the path of Jedi will start with basic force sensitivity which will be open to all players to create a sense of the force. If players wish to pursue it, they can develop their force sensitivity in minor ways without sacrificing their original character concepts and even enhance their characters to have that certain special something that isn't quite tangible - - a sensitivity to the force as seen in the movies and EU.








This is pretty confusing. From the way it reads, it looks like EVERYONE is going to start off Force Sensitive? Granted you folks are wanting to make Jedi a bit more attainable without burnout, but if I'm reading this right then it's complete overkill in the wrong direction. Having everyone being able to be a Padawan is incredibly lame to put it mildly... not even in the height of the Republic was there a giant amount of beings who were FS, much less trained to handle it to any extent. Jedi are but one cool facet of the Star Wars world - by tempting everyone with it and giving them an immediate taste, you have a very high risk of of this becoming just an online version of Jedi Acadamy.
