Thread: Why would I wanna be a Jedi?
There's a few jedi types that all Bounty Hunters run in fear of too you know, they won't tell me which one though. *ahem* The ones they don't fear are the healer Jedi, those are just annoying, wear down their Force and they EVENTUALLY fall (in an hour) You can't expect to pick up a new weapon type and be a super killing machine with it no matter what MMORPG you play, sure with the light saber you DO kind of expect it, but I heard you can get it down to 4 damage by wearing a hat.
Pretty much it seems that Jedi are what you make of them, myself? I'll be picking up 15sp of Force Sensativity just to boost my normal skills, and ponder going full Jedi in the future maybe. Force sensativity is VERY SP inexpensive, and gives lots of perks. Hard to get though, I dunno wether I'm looking forward to it or not...................... okay I am ^.^
Also, they're a roleplaying device. In this chapter all Jedi are hunted and hated, supposed to be anyway, if you become a Jedi you can't go around flaunting it or you'll be hunted (that's how it's supposed to work anyway). So go easy on showing off and you shouldbe fine (SHOULD be).
Your evaluation of the Jedi life is already biased based onyour ending paragraph.
The Jedi Padawan, even low level Knights are by no means all powerful. Like your architect/artisan/fencer grind, the Jedi must also grind to greatness, though that grind ismultiplied 1000 fold.
You will unlock a second character slot, making your architect/artisan/fencer dreams once again a reality.
But therein remains a great attraction in becomingaJedi,a realattraction that dominates the real life world. That attraction is the lust for power. This game promises that a Master level Jedi will bemore powerful than any character in the game. Many players feel the need to become the "greatest of them all" - somethingtaught to many of us from early childhood.
But I'm digging at very deep psychological levels here...to sum it up...
YOU DAMN SKIPPY, THE GLOWSTICK ROCKS !!!!!!!! ![]()
Unlocking Jedi seems to most the ultimate achievement, it was for me. I say most because not all unlock for the jedi. I quit after the Holo's were introduced then came back to the game when the village started. I unlocked a phase or 2 before the CU went live. You get the second slot after you finish your padawan trials 16 in total, fairly easy. You will begin your padawan days with all your professions sp intact and the 24points invested in FS. As you gain the exp for additional boxes in jedi you will need to free up points to do this thus losing your previous profession(8 for novice 20k jedi exp, 8 for tier 1 200k jedi exp, 6 for tier 2 jedi 400k exp, 4 for tier 3 800k jedi exp, 2 for tier 4 1.6 mil jedi exp, 1 for master 3.2 mil jedi exp). 226 points can be spent in Jedi in total and then you are "Full Temp" i.e all points spent. The beginning of the padawan grind will be hell. Most BH's will go after those jedi listed under 120k as they are relatively easy kills. i have seen some 2-3 hit incaps. As Jedi we can heal for 1500 every 3 secs or so at 4000 healer. We are by no means "god-mode" If you know what you are doing when you are fighting a jedi you can solo higher level ones. Wont be a quick fight but can be done. ![]()
The reason most lower level jedi hide in houses is the fear of a BH death. If a BH goes after a padawan worth lets say 80k and kills his mark, the BH gets paid and the jedi loses 160k exp. with the CU now Jedi are pretty much forced to group hunt to get any decent amount of exp(almost certainplacement on the BH terms). When I was under 80k SoloI could do maybe 20-30k an hour, Grouping I could do 100-250k. Not bad except that at that level in a full group of 8 the jedi gets around 600-800 exp per kill, you cannot solo due to crap damage and hence the whineing begins. The most BH visits I have had in one day.. 8. Loss of exp is 2x what ever the mark is worth. PVE death is now gone as well as the cloning penalty, so padawans of now have it Alot easier than before CU.The most a jedi can go in the hole negative is -10Mil (Not fun). As you gain boxes you will be able to better defend yourself against a BH.Most will not hunt you solo once you get above the 180k mark. But as of now BH's can come in a team of 5 (Gank Bus) almost certain death for a jedi. They are supposedly going to remove visibility(which gets a jedi on the terms) from groups and remove names from BH terms to reduce griefing and such. Should make the grind for lower level padawans easier.
the best info I can give those looking to unlock is simply make it easier on yourselves. Get used to PVP now so you will know what to do in certain situations. I have hunted marks that think I exploit because they cannot get up after I knock them down. When I told him about the KD recovery button, he felt a little noobish. He nade grinded his way through the village he said and was a crafter the other parts. Hate to say it but many that unlock now have little to no PVP experience. Also dont think of the village as a grind. If you do you will get bored of the game very quickly. I did swords/TK and would cap once or twice, sometimes morea buff session(Pre CU) then do other things.If you did just start the game three months ago, there is a ton of stuff you prob havent seen or done yet. Unlock that FS box then spend the "grind time" getting that exp doing quests/missions. jump into space. I never did spend time in space before and am having fun being a noob in space
Many people just do the FS quests to get the added perks. If they "really help" no one really knows which do/dont. Have fun with it and you will enjoy it alot more. Jedi is a goal.. shouldnt be thought of as a chore..
Good luck to ya
