I cant wait till Publish 9 hope you can answer some questions and request.


1) Request : can we get a peek at the new robes?


2)Request : can we get a peek at the new skill tree's? : bonus


3) Question : How will the transfer to other servers work and will you be able to change your name?


4) Question : Has any jedi Animation's Changed? Reason. cause force knockdown looks like lighting atm and it should look like a pulse of enegry.

Animation Changes that would be nice.


Force Knockdown : pulse of enegry| The animation is to slow and its used for quickness | should cause dizzy and not mind blast.


Force Mind Blast :instead of a stream of greenlight. Haveit like energy waves coming from his head. For the animation he should look like hes trying tothink very hard.


Force Throw : I like thisonly then is on the streamof forceis to thin.

i agree with you as well Jayspinspunkwhatever, and i really like your ideas too zSpinblazeguy. I really like your idea that if your going through the jedi trials as a say with a pikeman (your more prominant with double bladed) or a fencer ( single saber) or swords man ( two sabers ) or TKA ( just much more prominant in the force) I think this shoudl be a factor cause with Pikemen ive heard they suck, but everyone wants to use double edged sabers, so alot off ppl will go that route. And Ive heard TKA is one of the best and most ppl would wanan be really strong with a double edsged saber/two sabers/ or a single saber. BUT going through as say a fencer doesn't totaly exclude you from ...say a double edged saber... your just not as prominant in it than that of a Mpikeman.. catch my drift. BUt thats linking off of spin blazes idea. What do you all think about that aspect. ANd another thing i ws thikning about while reading zSpinblazes post about actually being able to use ATAT's and ATST's is you must have the right armor to drive one and must wear it while drinving it... the armor of course proveded by the empire and the your factions points. But also the rebs should have those little land vehicle flyer things (obviously i dont knwo the name hehe) but they can actually shoot the cables and you actually have to connect with the cable and actually fly around to trip one up.. WOW THIS WOULD BE SOOO COOL IF THEY COULD DO ALL THIS.... what do you guys think. DEVS PLEASE BE LISTEING.... i mean READING. anyway i wanna give props to zSpinblaze, as my ideas where linked of off his.. but like he said as well its a community game when we work together great things can happen (assuming the Devs are paying attention hehe, a little feed back form them would be nice) Anyway one last thing, any more feed back on my Light and Good side to things adding depth. let me know, thank for the feedback zSpinblaze.ok well... until next time.

JEDI IS TOO OVERPOWERED (RIGHTFULLY SO) AND SHOULD BE NERFED COMPLETLY FROM THE GAME. OR NOT ALLOWED TO PVP...

My solution limits the PVP ability of Jedi and still lets them retain their power.


Also Seph the BH's interaction with the game is not really affected...they are simply given all the choices they have now plus a new faction to join. The Jedi players have alts that can play the game as normal. No loss there as the player can then choose his experience.

Likely I'm in the very teensy minority here, but I'd actually very much prefer my current PC to become Force-Sensitive and a Jedi. So I have this question, as I've seen a few scenarios explained but it doesn't quite cover what I want to know.


If I do not unlock my FSCS before patch 10, my current PC will be allocated steps toward becoming a Jedi once patch 10 is implemented. Once the point of Jedi is reached under the new system, I will get a secondary PC I could take through the trials if I really wanted.


If I do unlock my FSCS before patch 10, I get a second PC that will be a Jedi. If that happens, what happens to my original character on patch 10? Do I get credit for all the work I've done with her even though it's already unlocked my second slot, or do I have to start all over again with her, or is it impossible then for her to become force sensitive because she's already done her bit and unlocked the second slot?


I made her a bazillion years ago (when the game first came out, really) and always wanted her to be Force Sensitive. Now that the chance is here, I'm actually sort of worried about mastering more professions, in the fear that I'll mess it up for her irrevocably. Silly, I know, but she was based on an old TT character who went the route, and I want to do it again.

Oh yeah, and even if I can't think of a good reason for Jedi enclaves to be hiding out in the Galaxy just now, this new system rocks!


I reread the Vol 2 archives three times before sending half the people I know the link, to make sure they read it too. I can't wait.

Seph I agree with you to a point (I personally I am fine with one character, mainly because if it impedes my gameplay I will just buy another but not everyone can do that).


The problem is I think we need to fight the battles we can win. The game developers are also businessmen and in the MMORPG business you need long term goals (the search for the FS) that players wantto get (not seen as an obstacle to having fun once gotten) and that don't artificially bar people from getting (for say economical reasons). The whole point of the Devs here is that they have to do something that the players want because as long as the long term goal (Jedi) is desireable they will get more money (from people taking the time to get the FS Slot).


Plus what is better? 500 Jedi in the open running around killing people on base raids left and right or 1000 Jedi trying their hearts out to stay hidden and secluded?

I think.... and hope very much, that when pub 10 comes thatyou can still keep your regular character and your FS character. I mean theres not many jedi right now as it is, so i dont think it would be that bad of an idea to have the few that have two characters on one account to keep them. But i dunno, i really hope the DEVELOPERS are watching over these posts and keeping in mind what we say. I mean as far as Pub. 10 or any other aspect in the game reguarding big changes thatwe as a whole... we as a comunity .... really should have atleast some say in what happens here. But they (devs.) - i think- are doing a great job so far.

Well yeah i agree that the devs need to keep the long term goals for the jedi reasonable, fun, yet you have to earn it. But if it is to easy to earn then that long term goal becomes a goal to easily earned. SO after those who become a Jedi they have only to master jedi then what will they have? Not much because they reached that goal that was susposed to be Long Term. My proposal, however, of only having one character is that if you decide to dedicate your life to becoming a jedi by giving up all other skills for a Jedi, then you can become a jedi ,and thats how it should be to becoming a Jedi- Dedication. And once you become a jedi with your one character, its more of a never ending battle really- Politically- Fighting-and maybe just smite from other ppl because they dont think the Jedi's are doing well in restoring peace. But regular ppl should have a say as to who can be head of the Jedi Cousil (obviously refering to the Light/Rebels side) . Therefore The ppl choose the MJedi , and the MJedi choose the regualr Jedi who serve. What do you guys think about that idea??

I can't be bothered to read all pages ere, so this may have been asked.



Has anybody seen any quotes from the devs that indicate that the force quests will be on a timer,things like,say u have done force quest one, u then have to wait a week or so until u can do the next bit.



Maybe those that have mastered loads of proffessions won't have a timer up until a certain point, so they will be fast tracked thru it.


I dunno, I may be way off, it's just thought that entered my head. hmmm!!!
