TH,
I've been logging into look for adhesives for the past month. That's all I have to do in this game until JTL. I'm a veteran. I've done everything. I'm getting so bored. Nothing in this patch is cool except the Jedi stuff. I'm glowing with the force. I did 15 profs, and had a silent holo. I want to start the village. That's whatthe publish is all about,and now I have to wait for that?? We should be told how long we have to wait. A week? 2 weeks? Why were we not told that it was going to be like this yesterday? Or the day before even?? You get us pumped up and snatch it away. It looks like the game is pointless to play until JTL.
When the village was in Concept oh so long ago we told you to make the village instanced! At all costs make the thing instanced, but you didn't. We knew it would be a problem with population. We knew all this stuff would be a problem, but you ignored us apparently. And you're not keeping us in the loop when it comes to these decisions. Why? Is it impossible to make it instanced? Because if it's not, how you could pick gating people and using a take a number system to let people in is beyond me. Big mess up. I'm sorry.

First off I would like to say i have no problem with giving holgrinders credit for their work. However I do have a problem and a huge one that makes it real easy for me and alot of other to quit this messed up game where the players that have been around for more than a year since game launch almost and have invested their hard earned money into this game get notta bit of acknowledment for their loyalty to the game and have stuck with this game through all the bugs and glitches as long as we have. This new sytem is a great idea but needs to be corrected to give those player that have been around for so long credit too they deserve it as well you know i love the movies and enjoy this game but i had really looked forward to this patch for the trip to the vikllage to finally do something realistic to become jedi i didn't holo grind because i wanted to keep the gcw alive the holo grind qwas killing it baddly. I ask as a loyal gamer of this game give us credit too we have put our time in and deserve it. i mean i see the holo grinders getting their fs branches opened up automatically depending on professions master to how many they open and also getting into the village furst that is a double credit and reward while the rest the have been a round for a while waitng for this day to when the errors of the hologrind giot corrected and made realistic and feasable get nothing.
oh well back to pvping with a broken system

PLEASE HURRY UP AND CANCEL YOU STUPID JEDI WANNABEES LOL
I have a question for you, do you ever want to become a Jedi? If you do how many professions have you done? If only 4 or 5 or even 7, then you will have to wait about 3 or so months BEFORE you can even SEE the old man... then you will have to complete the quests that takes like a month or 2. Therefore, the people that just wanted to play for fun and to communicate with the community will have to wait a EXTREMELY long time before we are able to even attempt the trials.
This is why we are angry, just letting you know why.

The devs have to think of all players, not just those who want to be a jedi..... (i know, most ppl), I want to get my fs slot, but I dident grind at all, ive been playing for a long time, but beacase of the confusion about jedi and holo's i dident grind. my char is 'glowing' beacase i have all the badges exept for the vett and 2 race's. those bages are not hard to get and can be done in days rather than months of grinding, so i can understand why most of the ppl here who have grinded and dont realuy know what is going on or how long thay will have to w8t are pissed off.
But the fact is, the tc was full off lag and jedi and fs charz and looking at the game as a whole, not just as a means to get a jedi i can c why thay have put this sistem in. tbh stop wining that u have grinded proffs and dont have a jedi. when u started playing, were u not told in the manual that jedi are extreamly rair and u would be lucky to c one??? i know that thay changed that, but still, EVERYONE wants to be a jedi, u shud be glad that u have the chance to ACTUALY be one. the path will take time... so be patent and wait.
how about pvping rather than grinding, on inf the pvp is realy bad. we need more ppl playing the game not just wwanting a jedi... this is starwarsgalexys not jedi knite, u want to be a jedi so bad, go play KOTOR.

So basically what this is saying is that all the chodes that AFK ground their way to 30 profs get to do it, and i dont cause i actually wanted to play and enjoy the game? Thats what you're saying. I'm sorry but this so called revamp was all that keeping me around and for all i know you guys may never get to my group.
The fact that you were secretly upping the number of hidden proffessions tells me that you wanted, all along, to have a cap on the number of jedi. So why not just cap it and be done, why all the **edit**-footing around? Nevermind, I know why, cause you're a greedy bunch of **edit**s that don't know how to tell the straight truth. You bend your words to suit the corporate engine and empty our pockets further. Well, you've gotten your last 41.99 from me, and i WONT be back for JTL, cause quite frankly you guys are terrible developers. You don't think anything through. You throw something at us to shut us up and then have us do all the real brain work. Then Haden bad mouths us cause he doesnt want his precious game to look bad out in the press. His excuse didnt fool anyone, what was said can't be taken back.
Well so long, cya l8er. I encourage everyone else to leave now, cause no matter how it seems, they dont care, they just want your money. The fact that they time gated the end-game quest, proves it.
Cancelled 8/31/04

You have received a new badge: Master Quitter
Bad Game Devs, bad business decision SOE, I warned you static timed gating would be unacceptable after over a year of play, but you've still got a distinct hearing problem it appears.
DEVS you did fine !!!(WHAT THE HELL DO YOU WANT THEM TO DO MAN)????? you did not unlock yet--- and they can or YOU DONT WANT 5000 jedi in the game overnight do you???
I mean really think for a second...I mean instant FS is not the answer man did you really think that they should just let 5000 people go FS instant>??

Well I doubt you guys are going to read this far but here goes...
This message should have been released two weeks ago when you posted the Village Friday Feature. There are probably hundreds of us who have not started the hologrind but went badge grinding in anticipation of todays publish.
I logged in this morning and was very happy to see that I was glowing but now I'm in limbo waiting for my invite.
I'm not going anywhere and I'm looking forward to JTL but I have never understood the community relations of SOE. Not just in SWG but also in Everquest.
If you had released this info 2-3 weeks ago there would have been alot less ranting on the boards about holocredit and alot of us would not have been let down today.
At this point my only hope is that because I'm glowing all I have to do is wait for my turn at the village. I'm assuming this will be 1-3 weeks.
Not too thrilled at this point.

sadly none of you realised the fs quest is unlocked by badges (and is broken)* not by profs.
i logged in as faintly feel the force, got xar k'un badge and then i started glowing
*how can i go from faintly feel to suddenly glow what happened to surge? - sort it out
secondly why not make random towns appear like bases that way more people can do these quests , you are limiting your users and people are left with nothing to do because they had to do all the theme parks to unlock the village in the first place.
so either implement about 10 new dungeons and another village/spawning village or a hell of alot of people are gonna leave.
If this is real, why do I have then a: Nothing is different or so?
I have over 75 badges and 3 holos. (And some profs+ too)

The Hate is stong with this one!
Ive been playing since Beta.
Have all possible badges except for CSR ones.
Experienced all available content to its fullest.
I mastered 21 professions.
I only got 3 revealed holocron professions(pretty sure I got screwed on credit..only 3 unlocks. Did I waste myself on 18 professions?)
I would have mastered them all given the chance...
So why am I being denied access to the only thing that would be new in this game to me?
Seems like I've been in a perpetual holding pattern for months now.
I JUST WANT TO PLAY!

I do wonder if it is only a few days why wont the people (who will have a longer way ahead becuz they didn't grind and played the game like it is supposed to)why don't they get rewarded for that??? Its a few days delayed for the ones who almsot destroyed this game.... they will stil get there jedi sooner then us... This sounds more fair to me than what u did now.
And i think the ones that unlocked should be given there jedi skills immediatly on login...
Again nice job guys!!! u really know how to f*ck a game up

You might want to get a new keyboard. The one you have seems to have a stuck 'Caps Lock' or 'Shift' key.
