Q-3PO stated: The second phase will be to rebuild the Jedi system to be quest-oriented; and toinclude the familiar elements of Force Sensitivity, Jedi-oriented quests, as well as many other elements the developers and the community feel should make up the process of becoming a Jedi.


From this statement, I think we should assume the current method of opening your force-sensitive slot is not being changed. The system of going from a padawan to Jedi is being changed. Your not a Jedi just by opening your force slot. Your a to-be jedi.






I agree, it doesn't sound as if they are changing the way you obtain your slot, but rather the play mechanics and features of the Jedi proffesion. Also, the BH coming on here are fools. I'm sorry but they are.

They are crying because they cannot perma-kill the Jedi any longer, and I find that to be wrong. I would enjoy it alot more if people came on here to be constructive rather then destructive. Much love.

Ok this is probably the stupidest thing SOE has done yet. They drop holo's in the game...get everyone out there mastering professions they never wanted in the first place. Get many, many people up in the 20+ club...and then change the **edit** system? In one swift move they will have wasted months of many players' work. And that crap about players' efforts will be rewarded is just that...crap. They have no way to reward you for all the work and time you have invested short of just giving you your slot.


Make unlocking the jedi slot a quest based system...think about it. Half the quests in the game do not work as it is. And knowing the way SOE does things, the quests for unlocking an fscswill most likely berandom spawns that will quickly become camped by hundreds of players. So much for the notion that the path would bedifferent for every player.


This is by far one of the stupidest ideas that SOE has come up with yet. I almost quit the game three weeks ago but figuredI had already mastered over half the professions andwas too far along to quit now. If they change this system before I unlock my slot...then SOE can kiss my a**. I will NOT waste another dollar or anymore time on a company thatcontinually does crap like this.

I guess it really pays off to be a cry baby. Too bad I'm not 8 years old any more and stopped acting like it. :/

Well..I guess they've milked all the possible Christmas (that's xmas to those of you in game) sells they can get. I wonder what the original plan for opening the FS slot was..hmm..

it is obvious by the sheer volume of discrepancies created by the new films that Lucas himself has not seen his movies.

People taking up the old system need to be credited, perhaps even further along so they bypass some of the new system steps. Or even just offer both ways as I'm sure some are close.

C posted this and left his office/cubicle with a grand smile. At least if he is like me he did. To all the Holo grinders who want their time back: HA HA HA, sony nor the devs made you grind. BTW when they gave everyone a holo couldn't you figure they might be changing the way to open FSCS? Bountyhunters: Calm down. You are no less out of work now than you where before this announce ment.



In reality, everyone needs to calm down, and see what happens. It might not be as bad as you think.


I also like the sarcasm one person used saying "Just oen a FSCS foreveryone on one server of their choice." Great Idea then the few who just want to be Uber Leet Jedi can get it out of their system get bored and go back to whatever game they used to own people in. Then We can all role play (As was the devs desire I am sure) whatever character we want. Who cares if everyone CAN be a Jedi? Many will get bored with it and move on.

Glad to see Im not the only one depressed and angered by this news.


We all are saying,, NOW WHAT????


The Devs had better at least give us some more OFFICIAL info soon.


Like...


1: Time frame on new system being implemented.

2: If the old system will continue to function right up to the patch day of this new system.


and most importantly..


3: What and how players are going to receive "credit" toward being a jedi?


If they are simply going to look and see who did there 4 holo's and then say " Ok ,here Darken you only have to do 200 random quests instead of 400 random quests" THAT IS NOT EXCEPTABLE for someone who is on his way to Master number 19. I'm sure the players out there that have done more are angry as well.


Also when they implemented the badges for profession masters. They said that the reason that they couldnt give badges for professions mastered prior to the patch, was that they cant tell which ones you have done. However they did say that they can tell which jedi oriented professions you have done. So this is sounding to me like people that did there 4 holo's and people that did 20+ professions ALL WILL GET THE SAME "credit" toward this new system.


THAT DOESNT WORK FOR ME!!


How about you others who have high numbers of masters??

what has me upset is this...LAST MONTH thats right last month we were given holo's two of them to start our journey two jedi...now a month later the brakes are thrown and the system is doing a 180...we should have been warned...I really hope the hard work that thousands of people have done is NOT wasted...

Again, you should really wait till the devs clarify it before you start panicing. Remember, there's a HUGE difference between the path to getting Force Sensitive, and the path to becoming a Jedi, as some continuity thumpers are forgetting.

Great.. just great.. spend 14million in resources. 4 months non stop profession grinding.. now, billy-joe-bob new guy that just joined can become Jedi in much less time.


I'm on my 26th profession. I'm sure I will get some sort of badge and then a take a number ticket like everyone else.


I knew my luck was bad..but this just did me in.

I'll be quite happy for Holo grinding to go or at least another method introduced. I want to keep my professions but still be in with a chance of getting my FS Slot. As long as they keep the method quite secret though, rather than telling us what to do. That would be even worse than the Holo-craze.
