Does anyone else find it amusing that half the people you see b!tching about the new conversion rate and the slowed path to Jedi are the same ones that a month ago were whining about the path being too easy? Now it seems their argument has turned to "..there are already a million Jedi running around.. it's already a problem... why do this now? It's too late!..." or "...now no one will be able to become Jedi... it's just too hard!..."


/laugh


You've got to be kidding me...


Does anyone else see the irony in this?

yep its incredibly ammusing but whats even more ammusing is the people who say: '' i log on everyday and see hundreds of jedi everywhere. By changing the conversion rates it will reduce the number i see'' - errrrmmm no it wont because it doesnt effect jedi. derrrrrrr

Funniest is the one saying .. i'll quit. THEN QUIT !

Reminds me of after CU, people whinning and quitting. The game is still there though, and i find it more interesting than before.

So if u not happy ... THEN QUIT !

exactly. thats one of the main reasons i pay my £8 a month to play this game. Not because of the ever-not-updating content for any of the other non-major porfessions but because i like to see how SOE caneither make the game better or screw it up and to see how the whiners complain about it. Its expensive entertainment, but non the less entertainment im enjoying.

I think the reason we see so many people griping.....and then so many people.......griping about those others griping...is that none of our opnions really count for anything. The game isn't run by us......not designed by us......and we have absolutely no say in what goes on........and with MMORPGs......people get so involved with their characters that whena change comes.......that effects them.....and they realize they have no control over anything........it's a VIRTUAL world.....they get mad and complain on these forums.......the best way to help the game would be to remove this platform for everyone to vent in.......or at least label the forum VENT ROOM. Otherwise do what the devs have done and appoint profession liasons and use their input........No matter how frustrated we get.........you must realize Sony is running a business.......in the end they want our money.......and making things harder and forcing you to play longer will get them more money..........yes many people say they'll quit......but most will come back because they don't want to think all their time up until now has been wasted....so they'll play a few more months........it's all psychology......it's just the way we are as people.

Dammit. Now why did you have to go and ruin a perfectly good read by being logical and making sense.

Just a clarification... Making the grind longer does not mean that it's any easier. Hard != long != boring. The current path is long, and very boring, but it's not hard at all. I'd like to see them get rid of the boring part and instead make it hard (like a really long string of quests that takes a year to complete). But the system is what it is...


Oh and Kaedo,very well said and I think you hit the nail on the head without a doubt.

personally i think this is one of the best choices made by SOE so far (worst being gettign rid of the hologrind) this will slow the rate of jedi and you wont see 3month old jedi going round thinking they are the best at everything, if someone wants to be jedi they should work for it, i am still going to go 4 jedi even though the grind is MUCH longer now

combat xp may not even exist because i am a melee character and i cap out at 300k (unlike other professions who cap at 900k) so for capping that out i get a whole - wait for it - ......... 10k!!!!!!! yey its easier to get weapon xp now




I agree. I'm melee as well and banking 300k xp for a 10k conversion is like painting an old ladies 3 story house and all she pays you is 10 cents. Wow I just gained all that experience for 1/6th a pack of gum. Gotta love the thought process and power the devs sacrafice.

maybe since they are making it a lot longer to get jedi they might tweak jedi to make them a little mor powerful. not god like as before the CU but a little stronger now.

I have an idea! Why don't we all go buy a few more SWG accounts. THEN we will have more say with SOE. They will listen to us! Your vote counts! If they have more money they will be inclined to put more devs on staff. Bugs will get fixed. Content will be added. Everyone will be Jedi but they will not destroy continuity. Darth Vader will lend a hand in battle. Yoda will be taller. Han and Leia's love nest will become the POI of the month. Balance will be brought to the Force, but the Emperor will stillbe living at his retreat with that 'snowman' looking thing outside the front door. BARC speeders for everyone. ADK's are craftable, but crafters will still make a decent living. Entertainers share the secrets of dual-wielding weapons. Bounty hunters will live in peace with Jedi....okay, maybe not that one....but things will be just peachy overall.
