ROFL


I enjoyed the video, but like some, think it is a hysterical, ironic marketing ploy...


Please, please, please don't give in to the achievers who want Jedi to be common. They must stay rare. If that means taking out holocrons, so be it. Even better would be to redesign the FS slotselection system in a more equitable manner, and then keep the system *secret*... The day I walk out of the Coronet spaceport and see ten lightsaber wielding dewds showing off outside right in the open is the day I quit this game. LOL

Can they really stop that? That's a userbaseissue. People like to brag and show off. Other than making lightsaber equipping give them a TEF you can't do much about that.

Devs: my advice is to get rid of holocrons now. THey served their puropse in getting people FS. They are now ruining the economy. Please taek them out. I also hate the idea that b/c pple powergame/dupe, they get a reward as Jedi. I want to have the SAME chance of becoming FS as the power gamers.


THank you.

A jedi fight isn't a jedi fight without jumping. Imagine how funny that would look in the movies...lol


Is it possible "code-wise" to include that 3rd Axis in the future? It just seems funny to me how Everquest can have things like Levitate, spells that make MOBs jump, etc... Then SWGis this new "State of the Art" game and we are stuck on 2 Axis...just seems funny to me, but if it can be done I'm sure the DEVs would eventually get around to it.


Anyone have updated info on this issue???



Even though those Jedi were flat footed...it still looked incredible. Nice work DEVs.

REIMPLEMENT SKILL BOX LOSS ON PVP DEATH
REIMPLEMENT SABER TEF

Nice video...

Nerd that I am, the first thing I wondered is, does LFL or ILM or LucasArts maintain a standard library of "Jedi" motion captures for you guys to use in things like this, or did you have to go capture all that stuff yourself?
