Thread: Jedi Revamp Phase I
Off the top, [all] players will continue force development on their existing characters and a new character slot will become available to the player to develop as they choose. A player will only have two slots ever available but they can develop both slots as they wish.
Alot of people are under the assumption of old jedi being rerolled (Which deep down I bet is wrong, but still havta wonder), that everybody will get a 2nd FSCS after reaching a certin 'high' end level of Force Sensitivity, and that in general SOE is freaking out at the comming of three bigname MMORPGs and trying to draw in more people by making Jedi more common then Master TKA.
Talk about opening a can of worms. We have balance issues now. You just wait untill a Master Bounty Hunter comes at you with his Guns then shoots out a cone of force lightning from his hand.
SOE just keeps making more problems for themselves. The system they have now of one character being Force Sensitive and the other being your Main/Mule whatever is good in my opinion. However, how you achieve it currently is very faulty.
All I know is that the Devs better not mess this up, or they will lose one more customer amongest many. Me. SWG is a blast, but if everything you work for is simply dropped, thrown away, or given to someone at a much easier attempt. Screw that. Everquest II is sounding very promising at this time (They still get my money one way or another *cries*)..
Guess I'll just wait and see like everyone else. Publish eight sounds fun. It's going to make alot of DEs mad though that they arn't reciving any new chasis. Poor Obten.
GuildWars, here I come! It'll be nice to play a MMO with no monthly fee, let me tell you what.
But seeing as the Devs still don't seem to get it, I'm going to post it yet again:
GCW > Jedi
Combat Balance > Jedi
Other professions broke since RELEASE > Jedi
Ya'll need to worry less about making more money...you already net $4 million per month in subscription fees. That right there is rock solid proof that you care more about making more money, than you do about all of us faithful subscribers who have been here since beta and day 1...watching you add new BS while you leave old, broke stuff just as it is - old and broken.
I know it's weekend but the statement you made about "getting to play through the new quest system" leaves some questions about those who have grinded a lot of professions by that time, but still haven't unlocked.
Will they even be compensated for? I can tell you that a lot of people who started grinding back in january still haven't unlocked and are way past the 20 mark.
IF the holo grinders like me dont get compensated for the work we have done...your gonna loose more money then make.. im at 28 profs atm and god forbid i dont unlock by the time u screw us all over ill be leaveing along with a good amount of others. My entire time in this game has been to try to figure out how to unlock jedi...10 months of work down the drain, so i can just start over. I think not, lineage 2 well be getting my money.
Does this mean skill loss on death is being removed ? No Jedi in their right mind will PvP with skill loss as it is.
Being a jedi should be hard, and it should be dangerous. That means harsh death penalties and forced PVP for advancement in the later stages.
Right now it is joke. Whoop-dee-do. So I killed a Jedi. Maybe if he dies 12 more times this week, he may lose a skill box.
Where is the peril? Where is the hard life? Where is the danger and the thrill of hunts and fighting for your side? Without death penalties, this game is rather junior varsity.
"F the holo grinders like me dont get compensated for the work we have done...your gonna loose more money then make.
No offense, but im not so sure that losing a few holo grinders wouldnt be good for the game

They allready said fs grinders will get a jumpstart in new quest system right? old news i thought
They also said that the servers would only be taken down daily for the FIRST month of release... It has been over a year and all the servers STILL come down EVERY DAY... I am wondering, do you give refunds to those that bought the game but cannot play cause their play time is in the window on the down time?
There are many things that have been said, but NONE have been done... They cant even fix the imperial hats, how the hell are they going to fix anything else...
dude th ,
WILL CURRENT JEDI LOSE ALL THEIR XP AND SKILL BOXES THEY HAVE WORKED THEIR ASS OFF FOR?
forced pvp to level is lame too.

Thunderheart first I want to say thank you to you for all the hard work and dedication you have given to our community. We can be harsh at time this I know and you have a hard job. I personally could not think of reading over 300 posts a day and finding all the good things to send the higher ups. You certainly deserve a big pat on the back *pats thunderheart on the back* you rock man!
First of all, you just make the devs lazier then they already are by saying they are doing a good job when in fact, they are doing a piss poor job of fixing things and adding new content. Of every MMO I have played, the patches and so called fixes come twice as fast or more. There is NO reason why they couldnt throw in a simple fix for lets say, Imperial Hats! in the FIRST patch they made or any patch for that matter.
This is by far the most expensive MMO to date and of course more are following suit of charging the $15 a month since we are all stupid enough to pay this fee to BETA test this game for 2 years... There is no excuse for the professions being as broken as they are when we are OVER 1 year into release. Content? What good is content when everything else is broken. Why remove citywarn because of a few people who abused it to block off POI's... BAN people. Destroy the city. Everything you do promotes exploiting when you do NOTHING but make the entire community suffer for the actions of the few. And for those that argue that everyone should be allowed everywhere, no... By that same standard then everyone also has a right to your own house and every item in it since it is also in the world that we all pay for...
I've spent countless hours grinding for a Jedi Slot and I threw it all away when you announced that you will remove perma death from Jedi.... The fact that there was a risk in being a jedi was the very reason I wanted to be a Jedi. But you threw it all out the window because the Jedi class was so broken that it would indeed be unfair to lose your char over the millions of bugs this game is plagued with.
I have been playing since beta and EVERYONE BUT ONE person has quit playing this game because you dont fix anything and you break more then you fix. And to be honest, the ONLY reason I am still here is there is nothing else to waste my life on... I am a professional at that...
They dont need a pat on the back... they need a kick in the ass... Work double shifts or hire more people for **edit** sakes...
Atleast until this game can be considered out of beta....
used 3rd party programs for pro grinding and cash so most of them dont deserve to be jedi! SWG is giving every one a fair chancefor everyone to be a jedi it sounds to me like the films you go train at a jedi acadamy untill you reach jedi knight / drak jedi knight then you become a member of the order and do more harder quests or go kill stuf on yavin IV and every one will have 2 slots 1 FS and 1 normal so thers still gona be weapon smiths ,TKM ,BH ,CH ,smuglers ,armour smiths ,Doc's ect the game at the moment is unfair as all the 3rd party programs and exploitsbeing used and the jedi at the moment are not worthy of FS slotthats my veiws and any way you might not like jedi and think about this in the old republic ther was hundreds of jedi not just 6 lol and the galactic war massive planet wars with jedi faction squads running around would make anyone happy thers more jedi in the game and also i think SWG is trying to make xp lv up skills less boring to do i go to dant quinker hunting 24/7 and its so boring plz give us new ways to lv up! 
any ways dude let me know wots your veiws.....
