Seriously now this is a joke........... The devs are so incopetent it makes me sick.....
For everyone who didn't origianally know this>>>>>> Publish 10's original release date was JULY 10th 2004 LOLOL what a joke..........
The funny thing is Big Haden Blackman will come out and say ehhem well there was never a release date just round figures and you stupid brownnosers hoping for a spot on the JTL beta testing will believe anything he says or just pretend to in hopes he'll recognize your name and check you off for a beta spot.
But no the original date was July 10th and todays date is none other than August 6th almost a full month late and still not coming out anytime soon..... With any LUCK and maybe the will of God the end of the month but that maybe stretching it just a little. I just hope that these guys know that this whole thing has become a joke amongst us players and is just really laughable now. I just find the lack of consideration for the very people that pay their salaries a little offensive and I know hidden and not there are many of you who agree if I had to be bold I'd say more than 50 % of you agree with me. To the devs.....I only hope you can redeem yourselves.

I agree man, I have been with this game forever, and I'm only here to get my PA set up for when I leave for WoW. This game is a sham, has been a sham since it started. I think all the people who are still here on the team are the "second or third string" first string is gone on to something more honest and hopeful. I personaly think this game should be shut down or sued for all the LIES and false advertising you have done. From the begining this game has been focused on jedi as a selling point when in the begining you couldn't become one. For one the focus is supposed to be on the GCW at this time period but I see now the team has decided the only way they can save the game is make SWG into KOTOR online. Sorry guys, but you just wasted a few years of your life on a failure ,up to this point. yes there are alot of positive post, but as usual I see this one being followed up with a let down ONCE AGAIN!!!!

HI all, I dont know if it has been said or not but im just gonna say it anyway!
I think that there should be set a restriction before getting a random object that will give a player the Jedi Slot.
For example, Mastering X numbers of proffesions or having total amount of xxxxxx xp collected.
By using this it would stop totally new players from getting a Jedi slot only from Going to some city or POI,
i would hate to see some one become jedi because of just going somewhere, thats evern worse then holocron!
And I like the idea of the Village, i just dont like the idea that we have no clue on how to get the npc to invite us to the Village.
That may be cause it will slow me down from becoming a jedi myself ^^
The Quest journal is a must have!!!!
Keep up the good work

I'm desperately waiting for publish 10 to come out, as im not much of a hologrinder. but as someone mentioned before, i want the option to unlock my second character as automatically FS, it wouldnt be fair because the current jedi were able to start off as FS. I dont want to make my main jedi, and use my new alt to back up rifleman and fencer, yet i dont want to do the FS quests again on my alt.

I don't think(or see) why anyone would WANT to, so it doesn't make any sense why the devs are going to do it like this... Maybe because yeah alot of people don't want to but I know 3/4 or going to sacrifice it all just to wield a damn glow stick... The only thing we can do is push the issue and hope the devs give us the option to make our second slot FS

Good to know you are keen to keep SW universe consistent. Good and consistent "Lore" is the key togreat MMORPG experience.
Anyway, loving the idea, this is wtg.

I think it should be the first slot only.
Yes it would be easier for all of us to use our second slot as FS and leave our primary slot intact. Isn't that the point though? I don't think anyone wants to see the game deteriorate into "Jedi Wars" as they're calling it on the GCW forum. Forcing players to make the choice of keeping their character intact or going through the Padawan Trials and making a Jedi while losing the character's old abilities will be the best way to keep Jedi numbers to a reasonable figure.
fritz300 said he expects 1/4 not to bother going for Jedi under those conditions, my experience through discussing it with my friends for quite a few months is that the real number may be a lot higher..
Anything which helps to control the number of Jedi (who are already overt in too many numbers) is a good thing. That way, the only ones who will become Jedi are those people who truly have a deep desire for it.

WTH is with this mysterious unclaried BS? In every statement that SOE or one of the dev's make there is always one or moreparagraphs stating "now we won't clarify every detail for you but....", maybe if you started clarifying more on certain content, more people would be happy and stop their complaining... I myself have grinded 23 professions with no payout and the fact that when publish 10 comes out, I'm still going to have to wait for an invitation from a mysterious being when I'm doing the RIGHT things... which I'm not even going to know these right things. Then we're going back to all the little kids and crazy folk that play the game make up more BS and spread rumors about what the RIGHT things are, then your going to have to clarify thats not the way either. Get your crap together and maybe we'll all think about keeping our accounts.

Just so long as it's freaking difficult.
Hope that this will mean Jedi are less likely to be seen EVERYWHERE

what about the people that did all holo's and got a silent holo and mastered countless profession's but never unlocked so how is it going to work for people like me 15+ profession's and did not unlock we get a free ticket to the village or we become force sensitive faster than say a guy that just started last month

It all sounds great, BUT...if I have to wait around for a year for some RANDOM NPC to tell me "oh hey, here's your invitation to the Village, have fun!" then I will send so much hate mail to SOE that you will have to block my address. I've waited long enough to be Jedi (one year) and all I'm saying is that I better be allowed to find this random NPC on my own and not have to WAIT for him to find me. Get it?
