When are people going to understand that even when we had permadeath you never lost your fscs. First thing i did when i opened my slot was create a test character. I put up the only title i had as well. That title was JEDI INIATE. Still a Jedi. Permadeath or no permadeath I still would not lose that character. Having permadeath does not reduce the overall number of Jedi. Changing the method to unlocking will of course.
It doesn't change the total number, but it sure has an effect on how many are online at any given time. I agree there are too few on at any given time. It makes looking at the Bounty Hunter mission terminals boring to see how many names aren't even online. But I never want to see 50 Jedis just putzing around Theed waving their lightsabers around like they are 4th of July sparklers.
A Question. Where was the reward to grinding out 40+ professions worth of experience in Mastering Jedi? We could spend the next 6 months in hiding mastering the class but then for what? A chance to PvP once and die losing all 6 months worth of work? What would be the point of Mastering a class if we could not enjoy it once we were finished? To put a title on and be a walking chat bot advertising shops for our main character that we can play and have fun with?
Permadeath was a known part of being a Jedi from the beginning, long before anyone unlocked thier FS slot.
For some reason I thought this was something everyone understood and agreed to live with.
The devs already conceded by making it so the higher level you are, the more free deaths you get.
I agree that even that might be too harsh. But having death decay in a single skill box is too leniant.
Perhaps permadeath if you die4 times in one month.
I might even be ok if there was no permadeath, but the loss of a few skills if you die 4 times in a month.
Having to die more than three or five times in a week before loosing a single skill box isn't enough.
Mostly, I'll just have to wait and see, since what they have written is so vague.
My main concern is to not see 15,000 Jedis running around the galaxycare free.
SOE it is only fair, do not forget the hard work, time and money which we have spent attempting to do what youve told us to.

so many ppl complain bout the timeline that this game follows, but its not like this is the first step away from that, i mean come on, when did u ever see a commando with a flame thrower in the movies? mayb they were in the books i dunno, but most ppl who view teh timeline view it through the movies, i mean in empire, when the at-at's were charging tbe rebels, why didnt some rebel commandos just charge back and flame dot them to death?
when yah bought this game yah had to know it wasnt gonna be a dead on replica of the star wars timeline, soe is in this to make money, if george lucas gets money from this and im sure he does, then yah mister lucas is gonna want money too, if yah dont believe that then watch episodes 1 and 2 and tell me he isnt a bit money hungry, so if they said to him ok we are going to make it so getting jedis is easier, now it may polute the timeline but hey your gonna get more money, im sure he said CHA CHING!!!!!!!!!! and started to check his mailbox for big fat lumps of money
its just a game ppl, stop saying oh ill quit the game and then complain bout the whiners, cause saying your going to quit cause u dont like something is whining, just bite the bullet, take it in the butt like everyone else and smile
i pray the quests will not be something like mentioned in this thread bout having to get a rare resource, because we are all not artisians, and im sure if mister lucas said one thing, its make it as if they were a person in teh star wars universe trying to discover the force, the current hologrinding system is like masterbation, you work hard to get to a point where it feels good, then yah go past that and its over and yah wonder ok what do i do know?
and im a bounty hunter, i dont hate jedi, i just hope they dont sayoh well bounty hunters cant become a jedi, because if the quest involves any form of combat, just means more commandos running around =/ but i have a suspicion that combat wont be involved, or atleast it wont be go kill this 40k ham guy with 99 resists to everything, then steal his wallet
im excited to see how its handled, i think it should be more of a random thing that happens at a random time and thats how yah start the quest

i think that changing perma-death will ruin jedi in the game. Gone is the challange of being a jedi. Now we'll see hundreds of jedi running around thus ruining the game. by the way you don't always have to listen to all the whiners that complain about the game being hard or unfair. why don't you just hand jedi master to them so they stop whining?
They can't just hand out jedi master to everyone, they need us paying a subscription every month. I sensed a tinge of sarcasm in your reply but it was weak at best (no marks for effort).
Since I'm not entirely convinced yet about the magnitude of your IQ...lemme 'splain it real simple for ya...
Maybe they should just give everyone a FSCS. How about you buy the expansion, you get a FSCS?
The only people that ruin games like this jonus_x are folks like you, who insist the game be on their terms, for EVERYONE. Here's a clue dumbass, anyone who thinks the current implementation of the FSCS is in any way fair, well implemented, or in keeping with anything whatsoever to do with the Star Wars universe needs to put down the crack pipe and step out into the sunshine.
The system would have been better implemented by a 7th grade Special Needs programming class than what we have to work with now.
SOE is a business and if you can't handle a business (SOE in case this is moving too fast for you) making money by keeping customers happy and giving them what they want, you are in for a long and miserable existence here on Earth, though doubtful I needed to give you that news.

"Yeah, Yoda. I was going to open the fifth cube you sent me, but I'm having too much fun wiggling the mouse back and forth over the 'Torso' slider! The Jedi Acadamy will have to wait until tomorrow, I'm, uh... busy. Grinding. That's what they call it now, right?"
Allow me my daily WHAT IN THE HE*L ARE YOU THINKING DEVS?
DO you not see how you have in one STUPID report wrecked so much?
ARE you too stupid to notice the arguing back and forth on what the vague babble meant with everything thinking that they know and others are wrong?
CAN you not see the huge numbers of Holocrons being sold all of the sudden (coincidence? um..no?) because you have everyone thinking that they are not going to be of any use anymore.
WHY in the nine hells will you not make one damned post and clarify and at least FAKE being
a responsible team?
IF you aren't going to post here then CLOSE THESE DAMNED BOARDS AND GIVE US THE GENERAL CHAT BACK.
YOU think you lost people before with some stupid choices, with WOW and UOX on the horizon , if you do not think VERY carefully you will be losing numbers like you have never seen.
SAY NO to easy Jedi, SAY NO to removing perma death, SAY YES to fixing the jedi xp system.
AND FOR ONCE COMMUNICATE!!!!!!!
Just checking.
