heh yeah it was but sephiroth was already taken so i took sephoroth (its my character in the game : Bria. And i agree FFVII was the best hehe. ANNNyway i read your post on 18 again and i have a few questions about it... waht exactly do you mean gmae inside of a game... you realize anymore, and everyone will be so laggy that it will be hard to play at all. But the whole thing with good and evil jedi with the auto tef is a good idea and also making BH's stronger is a big factor.The dev's sure do have alot on their hands now, and like i said before this could very well make and or break this game. I hope it all straighrens out in the end. And one thing i hope they keep, is the fact that you use the same character to become a jedi so ppl wont wanan give up all their skills so they stay their prof... but like ive mentioned before we need more in depth profs now... and i think adding an over all good and evil aspect which would inturn create more depths in what you learn or make etc. in your prof. therfore other players will have just as much new things to discover and want to keep their character's prof. ratther than becoming a jedi. I think it would help out alot, waht do you think man?

Well Seph what I mean by game within a game is actually just that.

Okay so SWG is a game. Hey finally something we can agree on everyone

Even if there are 500 jedi on each server they will still be the minority. Because of this the game needs to be preserved for the non-Jedi. If the Jedi is the most powerful and prestigious class to function within SWG then that is a problem. Almost everyone will want to be Jedi.

DOWN WITH THE POPULARITY CONTEST! VOTE NO ON THE DEVS VOTING SYSTEM FOR LIGHT JEDI!!!

Will I be able to start a FS character on more than one server... eventually being able to RP a jedi on bloodfin and play myself as a jedi on a different server?

That would really be nice.

dont get me wrong, the new system sounds great and im really excited to see the hundreds and thousands of jedi and leais running around, but if i remember correctly wasnt it said in the jedi faq that the jedi trials are not appart of this time frame?....

hey where the hells the faq? i just went to look for the quote and now its gone...plausible deniability...good idea.

Seph you missed the point.

I am fully aware the game is nor currently designed like that...but the tools to make it that way are already in the game as we speak. Factions, Tefs, Visibility, Bounty Hunter MIssions...it is all there. All you have to do is manipulate it. Hence the term Revamp.

Even the Devs werent sure they could get the droids working like they are now. Ask CH's how much their experience has changed. Find out if Chef's are still having a hard time making money? Ask ID's how their new options are? Look back on the original combat balance threads by the devs. The idea of a revamp means just that...revamp or redesign how something works or interacts within the game.

Setting our sights low will get us little return...now is probably the only time we can really elevate our wishes to an idealistic level.

is there a set on or about date when 9 is going live? in developement says daeth watch is coming out between 9 and 10 but in testing says that deathwatch is coming out may 25th, any answers?

There will be more Force Discipline skills available than a player will have skill points to be able to train in. This will lead to a variety of Jedi characters as some may choose to be more offensive or more defensive or even choose to take more utilitarian abilities. We have allowed it so players may un-train these skills if they wish to choose others.

I like the idea of a light and dark side to all professions, it does keep everyone interested in the game. There is but one thing that i think should be chencged, as does everyone else. This game is gunna try to be as real to the movies as possible... lets face it, that just isn't possible, not with jedi an available profession. If it was true to the movies, a master jedi would have no problem taking out pretty much anyone. OK, lets look back at the whole Movie series to date, and see how many jedi were killed.. Episode 1: Qui-Gon and Maul.... both to jedi, Episode 2:There was the huge arena scene where they died, of course there were a million enemies, and like 100 jedi, no real significant jedi died. Episode 4-6: Obi wan to vader, yoda just died, and vader and palp to eachother... now i am no expert, but i can see BH's had no real significant Jedi kills, it was all Jedi to Sith and vice-versa... and when did u ever see jedi have a real hard time fending off, all they had to do was force push, deflect shots, what-not, and since this game can't have that kind of control, it can't be what they want it to be. And lets see, if it were also supposed to be true to the movies, Jedi could kill anything in 1 hit, the only reason a jedi didn't kill anything in one hit is because they just severed an arm. Jedi would end up destroying this game if they made it true to movies. So they have two options here, make it REALLY hard to become a jedi, make it real tough, like the corellian corvette, not made for nubs at all, or just take them out, i like the idea about making it INCREDIBLY hard to do it, but make them a lil more to movie standards, rather than making the jedi "just another profession that takes a little more to be." Have just one REALLY hard quest, u have to do alone, or with like one or 2 more people, thats it, and all 3 of them could get the FSCS. That way there isn't any way for people to kill the game by hologrinding etc. but there aren't a whole lot of jedi roaming around, and make it like a "one shot deal" or like if u do it and fail, u have like a couple weeks before u can try again... As it is currently, u should need to have mastered all professions to get the Quest andyou should also need to find some jedi or sith out in the middle of no where, on a planet inhabited by really tough creatures u NEED a group to kill, and make him surrounded, like make a den of these creatures ever 100 meters or so, with a no-fly-zone that way people aren't sneaking in or just shooting right by, they fight to get it. And maybe when u finish the "quest" or whatever u want to call it, it then tells u what to master, cut holo's out for good, and make the professions u have to master, somewhat true to the profession, if u wanna us 1-handed sabres, fencer, 2-handed sabres, pikeman, that way, u can SEE how your jedi will develop, and as always, u can go back and change this from one to the other, like make it free of stat points for a jedi to use, or if they need to use some stat points they have left over (i don't relaly know how jedi stat points work, if they have extra after becoming a master or not)... That way, newbs are becoming jedi... and u don't have to "master architect" to become a jedi.... i mean seriously, when did u ever see Vader say, "u know what... today.... i am gunna build a large tatooine house" he didn't he wouldn't waste the time, the only things a jedi or sith built was temples or the death star, both significant to the game and movies. Thats is my 2 cents if anyone has suggestioons or questions about this, just post them i will see, and of course.... there will be the Negative Nancy's who will never be satisfied with any suggestions on this board u can post your negative thoughts as well.... and instead of being negative all the time, do something constructive, like att ideas, instead of shooting all of them down, this is a major community game, we need to work together to make it better And i know this doesn't go here... but i just HAVE to say it... when space battles come around ADD HOTH!!!!!! it was THE BEST battle, make poeple able to drive AT-AT and AT-ST's, be troopers, snow speeders, the whole 9 yards, that battle has to be in it, and if not that battle, add the planet, i would love to live there and love it forever, only leave to go big-game hunting, meet poeple elsewhere, or to do misisons... wll thats all i got, now time for all the negative feedback D:
