Issues I have with this patch:

1. Too many visible Jedi ruining the continuity of the game. Is this going to change? Probably not as it is a great marketing tool for SOE. DEVs dont waste your time on developing a quest for Jedi. Unlock jedi for everyone. This will give you time to fix smuggler, BH, carbine, squad leader, and all the other broken professions. Put back in light saber TEF and if they display their tag automatic TEF for anyone who see it. According to the literature most people in the galaxy blame Jedi for the downfall of the old republic. There is a lot of anomosity out there now with Jedi stealing all the kills and just being every where. Make Jedi significantly less powerful than the other master combat classes. Only allow Jedi knights to be powerful but on an equal basis to master level combatants for the sake of playabiltiy and balance. We should not be competing with them in these dungeons. We should be slaughtering them according to the time line of the game.

The Devs have stated the Continuity is not the same as you read in the books or in the Movies. Its impossiblt to have the same Continuity as the books and movies cause People who came to play Star Wars Galaxies want to become Jedi. It may not be you who wants Jedi, but I know a lot who do. So Continuity will not be the same. Live with it.

TEF's are still there, but Havint the TEF when a Jedi Uses a Lightsaber gave tons of people the Chance to Grief Jedi. Currently, if a Jedi Dies/clones, He looses 200k+ of Jedi exp. --- TEF's are still there if a Factioned Jedi attacks the opposite Faction, as is with any other profession. Jedi are (*Insert Any Race*) and are not all alike. Live with it.

2. Weapon delay is obviously a game breaker for many. Just like shuttle waits are. I have no problem with the armor delay. Makes sense as putting on body armor in RL and then strapping on equipment takes awhile. Remove weapon delay. Find another solution for Jedi exploiting. Remove shuttle waits too while you are at it.

Jedi Profession is not the ones who are Exploiting Switching Armor or Weapons. The People who are Exploiting the weapon switches are those who have like Janta Knifes with Mind Poison or the like. They use that, then switch to another weapon to continue attacking. This is a Form of Exploit in PvP and I'm glad this was added. (*Just Cause it was in the Jedi Publish doesn't Mean it was a Jedi Exploit. This Publish is also the Beginning of the Combat Revamp they have been talking about*)

3. Where are the components for the new junk dealer schematics? i have killed hundreds of NPCs and nothing. get rid of the old imp and rebel discs and increase the spawn rate of these new items.

Lower End NPC's have the broken stuff.

4. I am still warping when I get off my bike.

Try Stopping Completly to get off your bike. if you are /dismount ing off your bike before it stops, the clinet still thinks you are farthur Back... Have Patients, the client and Server have to match to get off where you want to get off.

5. Where are the goodies for us veterans who have been in this game since it went live? We are your advocates. Reward us and we will help you by trying to add more people to the game and by convincing our friends to stay.

If you are the games Advocates, why are you complaining about stuff that they change? Most of the Stuff that is changed is cause people like you were complaining about it. So they change it and now you complain about the change. Please make up your mind (*this rant is for all, not just for the reply*)

My fun meter was pegged right before the Corvette. The Genosian Labs are great and I commend you on that dungeon. That was the perfect level of difficulty for non casual players.

Thisgame should not cater to power gamers. The Corvette and Bunker are just not fun. The super battle droids are unrealistic, the deaths on the Vette are far too excessive, and loot drop rates are ridiculously low. i hear more people getting bunker loot from NPCs outside the bunker than within.

They do not cater to the Power Gammers. if you are a CAusal Gamer and had just gotten the template you always wanted, wouldn't you like to test it out in groups to see how well you fair?

After this patch my fun meter is at 50%. I am a huge star wars fan. Especially the timeline we are suppose to be in. I think Lucas Arts needs to break out the leash as you have strayed too far.

I hate to tell you, but all changes in SWG have to go through Lucas Arts first. So, if Lucas Arts agree's to all changes, then its still star wars'ie in their minds. I wouldn't doubt if George Lucas himselfs plays.

Force Characters are an Option and not something to ruin the game. You can be force Sensitive after Publish #10 and still not be a Jedi.

You guys should try...hmm...not complaining?

That's right just stop complaining and play the freakin' game (and casually bring up the issues you want fixed, the Devs might respond a little more to you asking them to fix stuff rather than you bitching them into fixing stuff).

I find it to be a much more enjoyable experience that way.

3. Majority of the people in this game want to Be a Jedi. They got Starwars Galaxies just for the Sole Purpose to become a Jedi. I did and I used the force to unlock my slow.

Um I would venture to guess that a larger majority of people grew up watching star wars and thought the idea of being in a star wars game offered the opportunity to play something that you grew up watching. A large majority of people would like to see the game stick with the story line of the time in which it is placed where jedi are rare. I for 1 have never hologrinded and never even attempted to do 1 holo profession even though my first would have been one of the easiest.

Never fully trust all those people you read complaining about the game. In the Jedi Forums, Most of the people who complain are those who haven't unlocked or those who are Bounty Hunters. same thing for all the other professions. there will always people complaining about one thing or another.

Might that be because swinging sabers at starport and shouting childish l33t suff is noticed by all players ? Or might it be because they are forced into pvp and get their xp through slauthering the ones complaining now ? Maybe some people think that they should be rare and now see that they are nowhere near this .... maybe they are just sick of the jedi guardians involved in pvp before the patch and see now that jedi raids will become regular and that the number will increase because there are NO triggers to keep them downeffectivly . And btw ... even jedis in the jedi forum are saying that they just should shut up because of their still going on whinesto be made superior to everyone .
