I don't feel like I'm exaggerating when I say that if you make changes to the system that determines force sensitive character slots and put all of us who have been working very hard on this for months back to the finish line, the exodus from this game will be of epic proportions.


The current system that is in place is terrible, but many of us have chosen to deal with it and are too far along to have that effort minimized. Please keep that in mind.





If the reqs are changed onus I will leave and take the 37 ppl in my pa and their 2 and 3 accounts with me...


this is total crap to those of us that have been busting our tails :*(

So consumed have I been with the Droid threads today, I missed this until now.


I'm almost speechless. Everything you stated sounds like a move in the right direction.


Very exciting stuff, and sure to endear the game to many new customers.

I am goign to cancel if all the effort into holo grinding, is goign to be tossed out the window. I and many people will cancel if this happens. If you change the way the jedi slot is opened.

You got great imagination Bacon and can see things that others cant, where it says that the compensation is getting closer to jedi ?? could be getting some stupid badge, money or some rare loot .


Im sick and tired of trolls like you that think they r better then the others only because we dont agree with you, i have right to flame something like this..they drop the bomb anb then ran away without explanations, something so big like this CANT be handle this way.

Okay so the reward for grinding all those **edit** professions better be my SLOT right? I know I didn't waste time on the current system for it to be changed and start all over. I'm currently working on my 18th profession. Why? Because you made me. There are those that are 20+. I'm not sure, I like this idea and I don't. Doesn't make any difference to those that haven't been holo grinding and wanted to be jedi. Now anyone will be able to get what everyone else has been working so hard for.

I feel so sorry for that poor kid dancing hours on end in Cornet trying to get his last Proffesion, can't recall his name off hand but had master 10 proffesions. IMUHO such people need to have there FS slot opened once this new system is in place.

Well everyone remembers when Yoda said "No, there is another,another,another,another,another,another,another,another,another,another,another, etc..."


Devs you have screwedup Star Wars Galaxies since day one. Did you even see the movies or read the books?


Making the FS a jedi oriented quest is a step in the right direction. Then I read that you are taking the permdeath out. You have to be joking.They have known from the start of SWG that jedis would be perm death.


Now there will be overflow of Jedis running around and nothing a BH can do. BH have to wait another month before the skills that should be working to be fixed. So they can have the tools to thin out the Jedi. The Jedis have had enough time to lvl up without the real threat of BH tracking them down.Do something right for once, when you put this jedi revamp in fix the BH droids.Right now as we speak we have a Jedi on Lowca sitting on his balcony using force push on another AFK character and no BH can attack him.

Yeah Anxdiety. You're color scheme should come WAY before Droid Engineering fixes, Smuggler revamps, and all the other bugs in line.

What I'm worried about is even if were properly compensated, who gets seeded out of it? I'm sure there have been some people who have mastered many professions and havent been holo grinding, and otheres who have been grinding but not doing it as fast as others. So how will the tell who to compensate and by how much?


Then theres the point of what if it takes another butt-load of time figureing out how to become jedi. So not only have the grinders spent endless hours acheiving a goal, but have now had the finish line stripped from them and hidden untill someone post a spoiler on the server forums. Worst case scenario ( people spend 2-3 months grinding now have to wait 2-3 months more to actully learn how to achive jedi then have to wait 1-4 months more achieving jedi ((depends on compensation at this point)), so you either have a wait time of 5-10 months.)
