I got 2 questions as well and hope they'll be answered.



- will we be able to see our progress or are we left in the dark like it is now ? With that i mean will we see the force initiate skilltree and the little yellow bar telling us how much we managed to progress .


- if someone has completed 4 of his 5 holos then he should be at around 80% to unlock and all other mastered professions have no influence on that as long as they aren't one of our five holoprofs ... am i right ?

I've been saying this all along andI agree wholeheartedly. There are a lot of easily implemented options (in my opinion) that would interest players and cut down on the jedi numbers as well in doing so. I have always wanted a cyborg character, based on a role-playing character I used to have who had one arm entirely replaced due to a vehicle crash. Of course he also had a trio of droid brains implanted in it for his espionage use during the rebellion, but hey I don't expect anything that big... lol The only thing missing is the option to play a droid character. Now that would be entertaining and fun.


I think that the second character slot should be opened before they gain force powers, since a majority of people would like that I think. I will probably just work on my main if I don't unlock by then, but who knows.

Rewardscould be things like:



Deep Crust Mining, meaning that you can build/place harvestersthat findrelatively potent resources in awsome quantities and never have to be moved.


Owning a capital chip or space station in the space expansion.


Highest Ranks in Factions, like Generals who really have imense power inside of a Faction, can call in reinforcement troops or orbital bombardment..


Ability to build/use a Jetpack, allowing you to hover out of the reach of melee fighters and move at great speeds during combat.


Telepathic, ability to read someones mind, find out faction, rank, skills etc. and limited combat abilities that mess with your oponents mind (Dizzy them, inflict wounds etc.) and heal your own/others.


Royalty, grants you a title like Lord, Lady, Duke etc. that will be displayed in your name, also allows you to place a giant palace as a personal home.


Cyborg, gives you the ability to build andequip implants that can increse your stats, give bonuses to skills, armor, smartguns, bio-bombs,you name it...


Versatile, just grants you an extra 100 Skillpoints to learn more professions with.


Land owner: More lots.

As in, you STILL have the fifty billion Jedi exp you used to get to 4444 Guardian?





Yes, if you had 16 boxes in the old system, you get 16 boxes in the new system. However many complete boxes you have, you will keep.






Why isnt our correspondent in the loop?


I have53 boxes. NOT 16. I am, for all purposes a MASTER, except your damn software has been broken regarding APP XP for 6 months. I have trained other jedi many times, enough to fulfill the APP XP requirements...What I expect in the NEW system is to have EVERY damn special fixed, our top five issues addressed and to be about 5 seconds from Jedi MASTER, which is WHAT I HAVE EARNED NOW...


How much am I going to be disappointed?

At least one person who agrees with me on this, the fact that Jedis are the only special characters in the game is just awful, because most Characters in Starwars are special in one way or another, nobody wants to have the feeling to just provide a population of stupid pesants for the Jedi elite, and that's why the Jedi system will aways suck as long as there is no System to make you into something equally unique and interesting that isn't a Jedi.

I have just completed my first holocron (master chef). Will my holocron count towards being a jedi in pub 10 or will i have wasted my time making pancakes ?

I guarantee you that you wasted your time. This update is for Jedis, not for the other 99% of players. Makes sense, eh?

Here are two quotes from Thunderheart regarding the new Jedi system and a second slot.



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


"Yes, anyone who puts in the effort gets the second slot."



What I would like to know is:


1. Does this mean that you don't open up a second slot until you are a Jedi Knight?

2. Does this mean that I will have to give up my current professions in order to reach Jedi Knight?

3. Does becoming a successful Jedi Knight mean you have to participate in PVP?


Thunderheart made the following quote in regards to people who have done their holocrons.


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


I would like to know the following things about this:


1. Does this mean that people who have not done their holocrons can not start with the new quest system? Is there other steps involved in getting to this point?

2. What about the people who mastered more than their holocrons? Are there plans for any compensation for that? I am not saying there should be, I was just wondering.


I know details are still sketchy, but any factual data would be appreciated. I long to finish the hologrind and stay with swordsman, but I would like a little more clarification on getting a new second slot before I stop now.

Thunderheart,


I got this response a couple days ago....

"IceBurgh71 you have until patch 10 to get jedi FS from doing the holo's hope that helped you"

And then couple other people told me both in game and from friends, "oh no if you still have your holos, youwill be able to finishthem.."


Ok, heard a bunch of different stories....


Can you please let us know that if you are still in the process of finishing a profession that theHolo told you to take, is it a waste of time?And are the Holos completely useless after patch 10?


I'm thinking ofgiving up now and just waitingfor the patch, and I guess just go on the new quests. I was just thinking about using the Holos as decoration! lol I still think they look way cool ...

guys we are forgetting about all the other factors involved and i believe we can make this work, we can get our cake and eat it too. This is problems the devs are facing with jedi right now. Youll all agree that 95% of the people want to be a jedi correct? well we also dont want everyone running around being jedi either. Now think about the other factors my friends. Space expansion, people are going to want ships right? There going to want to try out these new proffessions right? I think they should make it as your skill in jedi go up so does your chances os bh hunters attacks and other crazy crap rise. Some people have as much killin jedi as they do being jedi. We need to improve on that and make it worth there while. Everyone calm down and quit bitching about this issue. We need to all get together and just talk about this issue with the devs. I just hope thunderheart will write back soon.


Yohmama, waiting to be jedi since 6-25-03,

19 Pages of Questions with Hundreds of Clients Crying for Help and Information...


not even 10 minues of time put forth to Explain anything...


THUNDERHEART your so freakin Weak man ( or your boss - whoever tells you to do or not do this **edit**). You come into the boards and spend less time any one person here who posts. Your nothing more then one of us but you get paid for it. Whats the point even of your Job?


My rating of Customer Service and Quality = 2 out of 100


The game is great ... I really wonder is you guys even did any work or even know anything about it sometimes. It sure doesnt seem so. When I come to the Place where Information is suppose to be Provided there is never and Informative stuff.


Honestly I do not know how you guys can get away with it. Your lucky the Large number of people play this game because it has the STAR WARS trademark. Honestly, I would have lost interest so long ago if this wasnt the case. When will some one with BALLS and DEDICATION come forth to make a Statement to your Clients?



Your lucky im being nice - lol
