Thread: The Path of the Jedi: Reckoning of Effort
All I can say is you developers really screwed up this time. For the post patch 9 unlockers you should have given them their jedi and for every one else give them access to the village or make other npc besides the ones on dathomir give FS quest. Though, you developers and sony shouldn't get your customers mad right now no one is happy not the grinders, jedi, PvPers, RL players, or casual players with competition around the corner WOW or Matrix Online. In addition. you want to create a good impression with JTL and this is not helping you sell more boxes it will probably do the opposite.
i think im gonna give up waiting
btw im to fast normally to get catched up by an old guy

Everyone please repeat after me:" THIS IS JUST A GAME" For those of you who took days off from your real life world and now are crying foul because you weren't handed the golden gooseon a silver platter that is just stupid on your part.
So what if you didn't get a warning 2 days before the release. If you had you would be whining that you should have gotten a notice five days before the release. It has been common knowledge that Pub 10 would go live by the end of August. Guess what, its the end of August and the system has gone live.
For those of you now complaining that you didn't hologrind profs before because you wanted to stick with your character concepts, great! But, that meant you didn't want to do what it took at the time to be a jedi but now you just want it handed to you for free because you've been playing the game the longest?
I commend SOE and the devs for trying. No, it will not please anyone, but then what changes would have? The exisiting jedi wanted something nearly impossible so few could join them. The jedi want-to-bes want it something they can do in a weekend. So what is the compromise? Answer: Pub 10. Deal with it people, this is the system. So what if you have to wait weeks? Is your whole game experience based around becoming a jedi? What do you plan on after getting there? If you can't enjoy playing the game for weeks without being a jedi, what are you going to enjoy for weeks doing after you become a jedi?
People, this is a game. It is only a game. Yes, we do pay money to play the game, but guess what, if it upsets you so much then stop paying and stop playing. Find another game. The fact is this is an evolving game system, guaranteed to always upset a segment of the playing population as it does grow and change. Cursing out the devs because they didn't design it around making you a jedi first is just stupid. No matter how the system was going to be changed, it was going to benefit certain groups more than others. This is a no win situation for any game.
One last time: THIS IS JUST A GAME.
To Thunderheart and all the devs, great job on making the hard decisions.

Marick4, you are completely right! THIS IS JUST A GAME.
I have been reading this thread for quite awhile, and all I see is flaming, and threatening to quit the game. If this one subject has gotten you so worked up, why don't you just post a suggestion,
and have all of your friends and guild mates do the same. Give the Devs some ideas without insulting them!
TH, this system is widely unsupported, as you can see, but, personally, I could wait as long as needed for a Jedi. I have a character on Ahazi that I want to become a Jedi, and if I need to wait, I have a character on Radiant that needs some attention. But, still, please consider the suggestions put forward by these concerned players.
The old man will visit you when you have completed the requirements of the new path to becoming a Jedi.While this new path is still a secret, it is no where near as daunting as the holo-professions method.We have made additional provisions for those that worked partially through the old system.Here is how you will be allocated a visit based on the old system:
You will be granted access to the village…
Automatically qualify
Group 1
Group 2
Group 3
Group 4
[damn lithium]...
TH someone lied to you. 'automatically' does not mean 'after doing badge requirements'... and 'badge requirements' was not what was advertised to post 9.0 unlockers.
A friend told me I pay $15 month so SoE can buy high speed equipment and keep things running and develop the game. The solution for this mess isn't to gate the village like this - it's to UPGRADE THE SERVER. It's friggin HORRIBLE how laggy dantooine and dathomir can be already. If you want to gate it -- restrict travel to dathomir (when ticket is used say - sorry due to imperial directive 666 you cannot travel to dathomir at this time) and have imperial patrols ARREST and deport people who have been there too long. I'd make an NPC on Lok at the imperial base issue the damn dathomir permits and make it so only 1000 permits can be active. expire them, etc... Take out the NON CONTENT time sink you put in and put something in that extends the story.... Grrr... I'd guess it's to late to fix the ROOT CAUSE (equipment and programmer arrogance) ... Also what the #e$# are you guys doing with an event team? It's a waste of money I'm sure. I highly doubt more than 1% of us get to enjoy any event team product...
