Thread: Jedi is too easy and too quick.
I think it is possible to become jedi far too quickly now, and even easier now that they new Eisley quests, which are only supposed to give noobs a chance to experience different proffessions, count as content badges!
I got glowie by mistake - I hadn't done the Imp themepark and was refusing to do it as it was the only thing I needed to get glowie and I didn't want it yet. But then I did a /check and I was glowie without it! And I hadn't done any of the new Eisley quests either so I still can't explain it. I am now doing the force quests but I'm not going to grind out my force xp, I'm just getting on with enjoying as much of the game as I can and letting my xp build naturally, and hopefully it will take take months!!!!
I think a character should have to be at least a year old before they get glowie. I like the fact that you can only unlock 1 force sensitive branch every 3 weeks but why not expand that to include the full jedi skills so that you can only fill one skill box every 2 weeks or something like that. Currently a power gamer can get glowie in less than a week, Padawan in 18 weeks and fully templated in another 2 weeks. This means that we have hundreds of jedi running around, most of which don't know how to use their template as they got it too quickly, never mind the fact that most of them don't know how to play the game as they have gone straight into becoming a jedi (Mind they are excellent at joining hunting groups on Dant and riding their Barc speeders backwards and forwards to the Village). This also puts the more casual gamers (the ones that have a life outside of SWG and can't play 24/7) off as they see uber 8 year olds running around with lightsabers!
IMO the hole jedi process from start to finish should take at least a year and a half for uber gamers and casual players alike. And it should force players to experience the rest of the game at the same time. At least the old hologrind method forced players to experience different professions, even if it was just to grind out one prof 'til master and then drop it and start a new one.

I get what your saying and even tho im not jedi yet i to some extent agree with you but what you want is ridiculous soe will never make it take a year and half to get jedi because theres no money to be made for them that way and personally i htiknk that 18 weeks is good enough but if it was 30 or so id still try but 18 weeks is along time.
If they made it take a year and a half no one would be patient enough and theyd lose a massive market for the game as many people buy the game to become jedi making it take that long people wouyld not bother they jsut quit and find another game.
I agree it is to easy it shouldnt be a matter of time before gettin jedi it should be a matter of is the player dedicated enough to get it

I agree too. It took my friend 16 weeks of intense grinding in solo groups killing thousands of Huurtons to grind enough XP for his 6 trees, and even more to get his complete Jedi template. And i'm talking 16 weeks of grinding 5 hours a day, and 20 hours during weekends. That is what got me discouraged from going Jedi. I unlocked my trees, converted the XP slowly but after 4 months, i had a single tree completed.
With double-XP, it took me about 30 hours over 4 days to get enough XP for 6 more trees (yes, i stacked a 7th tree's worth of XP just because i was also getting healing XP for keeping the group alive, so I converted enough Senses XP while grinding combat XP to be able to unlick a 7th tree.
I'm glad i'm finished, but it was way too easy.
