Moley thank you very much for calling me a "dummy." That rocks so much you don't even know. So since you obviously insult first and appreciate opinions second then there is no way to get through to you. I'm stateing that those who are complaining the most have a valid reason to complain. Why? Because they have done what they were supposed to and grinded for a year straight. So after their hard work they were rewared with having to grind an additional year or so. Those who unlocked prior to pub 10 had to grind only a year and paid the same money that those who didn't unlock in time. I wasn't fortunate enough to unlock in the allowed time before publish 10 nor were many others. Our only reward for doing the same thing as those who did unlock was to be given another year to unlock. So the complaints are coming from unfair treatment by company we pay for and we are using the Forums to voice our opinions on the matter and a way to share our experiences with others in the same community. We are not insulting each other like some of you, we are just looking for answers as to what went wrong with a game we pay for. Each and everyone of us knows that things in life could be worse than a video game not working. However, that does not mean we don't have complaints that don't need to be voiced. Since you will never see the reasons for our complaints and would rather just insult then I am coming to the conclusion that I am speaking to a juvenial and for that reason this discussion will end. I still beg of you to bring on the insults.It is hilarious that some kid is trying to knock me down over a video game. Please bring them on. This is just fantastic that your responses are insults. Absolutely beautiful.

Just so I'm clear, nobody knows if you get become a jedi, then drop jedi and go back to regular skills?


I'm trying to answer a question that's come up in the game. Nobody seems to know...

What I find to be interesting is that after a week and a half since pub 10 there has not been one dev post to clarify many of the real issues that have been brought up. One simple example is, can you train any 24 boxes to unlock, or do you have to train 6 complete trees? What about all of those that didnt get free trees, but based on prior information, should have recieved them? This thread has nearly 1000 posts and yet not one dev response to some serious questions.

We, who are playing this game deserve some answers. The lack of response and the almost total lack of hard information is poisoning the boards and demoralizing the players. We are not seeking a step by step guide. But given this insane grind we dont want to waste points or efforts.

I am already seeing the effects of pub 10 amongst our guild. A number of regular players have been in the WOW stress test the last week and have already stated on our web site that come November, they will be gone from SWG. Yet there is still a chance to save this game. Revise the xp exchange rate, drop or at least reduce the gating (3 week village phases) and actually add some content rather than a revised grinding system. You cant change the fact that Jedis are in the game. They never should have been a part of it in the first place. Now that the genie is out of the bottle, becoming a Jedi should be a realistic potential for every player. I pay my money each month, andI dont want anything handed to me on a silver platter. But now that its available, becoming a Jedi should not take an investment of another 4 - 6 months. More so when you consider that a beginning Jedi is weaker than most elite combat professions. At least the grind after unlocking is more rewarding. And isnt it somewhat backwards that the grind to become a Jedi is longer and more difficult then once you are a Jedi?

the reb theme park starts at the hidden reb base near Korvella on Corellia and talk with C-3PO.

Here's a link to the quest you need Stallion. This is a post about the Jedi Quest not the Rebel Themepark Quests.

the reason people want jedi so much devs is because that is the only thing to do in this game jabbas theme park and the imperial themepark are virtually alike everyother mission is kill this escort this i found it nothing but a boring grind the large battle theme parks like the warren and the corrvette are stupid to in the instance of the corretee way to hard and little reward and in the instance of the warren to boring and literally no reward besides the badges u need its pathetic and eventually u run out of crappy theme parks to do i beat the rebel theme park nyms themepark and the warren all in about 48hrs no problem taking brakes and naps and everything pretty sad. maybe im just dillusional in thinking the devs will read this but your little markeing niche is failing using jedi to pull people in was a mistake especially if there and uber class and everyone wanst them, in doing this u have neglegted everyother poffession and playing style were are the squad leaders 3 major publishes. and if u are going to do this at least fix the damn bugs with the quest my mission is still bug like everone else my sith camp wont spawn what the hell is the point of all that testing if it did nothing but make people more aggrivated cmon. this game is dying jtl could have possibly saved it about 3 publishes ago but people seem not to be to happy. just choose something to do weather it be make jedi uber rare and work on all the other crappy things that need fixing or make jedi another simple poffession and work on other things(although i think the later wold be really unfare to those holo grinders who worked so hard and would basically get boned by having their hard work turn into a thing that would beat a swordsmen but would get owned by a fencer). just my vent wich im sure no one would read fix the damn quest.

Just like everyone else i am about 99% sure that this will go either unread or un-cared about. The conversion rates either be lowered or the required #of branches must. I was fortunate enough to be able to have 1 free branch, but doing 5 more is just as bad. I was hoping that the quests would be a great boost to the game....all it did was reincarnate the "holo grind". It is basically the same thing and you know it. In the holo grinding way u needed to grind xp to master professions. In this so called "quest" based system...u complete a quest and upon completing this quest the nice npc tells u that u are now allowed to grind yourself to death in the branch u just unlocked. This is really rediculous. It is strictly experience grinding. It is exactly the same as the holo grinding way except theres no more holos.....instead of looting holocrons u now need to perform a quest, then u master. This needs to be fixed, action must be taken or else many people will most likely quit SWG, i have been playing for a year and to tell you the truth the game content has been pretty bad for my entire experience. All im asking is to fix this, it is a terribly long grind, even worse than the holo grind. We were promised a quest based system and this is not it.

I forgot to state this in my previous post but there is a petition on the test center forum to lower the xp conversion rates. Currently there are over 300 signatures.

Well im still waiting getting pissed off now. I reported this bug. for those who dont know its the bug that makes your sith camp spawn inside a house, or a tree, or a rock, once this is done you cant continue onto the village because your esentially stuck. No new sith have visited me so i cant get a new waypoint disk. Ive read about 3 or 4 other posts complaining about this problem yet no news on the fixing of this bug. I want to continue i want to have fun. I'mstarting to ask myself what is the point of paying 14 bucks a month, when i cant do i simple quest.Devs CSRS whatevercheck thisbug out. I really want to continue onthe force sensitivity quest.


Thanks for listening again....
