I'm not one to complain a lot, however I have recently become FS, and I am NOT at all happy with the way the Village is set up.
Right now, the Village and the path to Jedi Initiate is way way way way too hard to accomplish, I am going to have to spend one ENTIRE year just to get to initiate just because the phases are WAY too long. At max it'd take me only 5 days to complete 1 out of the 6 trees, That is saying that I am going to have to wait the rest of the 5 to 6 weeks doing nothing...
I'm not going to play for 6 more months, I don't view this game as being enough fun to play for 6 more months, it is too hard and too time consuming.
My question, as shown above is why does the path to Initiate have to be so hard and so time consuming? I am someone who would rather have Jedi handed to me w/o even 2 weeks of work. I am used to playing games that at max I can beat in just a matter of weeks, I just don't like the idea of playing this game for months and months NEVER beating it. I just regard it as a cheap way for a company to make money...
Here are the following changes I wish for the Jedi path, although I know that SOE will never even consider them because of the way companies are...
1. Phases should last only a max of 2 weeks
2. Novice professions like Novice Reflexes should only cost a max of 10,000 Jedi XP to learn instead of the rediculous 50,000 Jedi XP
3. There should be alternate, non fighting ways to become a Jedi
4. The trip to Jedi Padawan should only take about 5-6 months after becoming Force Sensitive
5. Bounty Hunters should not be allowed to hunt Jedi, or visibility should only be given if you show your robes/sabers in front of a non Faction member.
6. Conversion Rates should be lowered, weapons xp should be converted to Jedi XP for just 10:1 instead of 30:1
7. Jedi skills shouldn't cost any Skill Points whatsoever.
8. The 2nd Character Slot should be available to people who don't want the Jedi but just want the 2nd slot.
9. The Village should be less Grind oriented and more Quest oriented, Grinding just isn't fun at all.
10. Jedi should be the most powerful characters in the game, able to kill even Squills in just 5-10 lightsaber hits.
Those are only a few things that I think should be changed.
Sorry for the complaining, however I'm at the end of my wits and am not happy that I'm going to have to waste that much amount of my time to just get to my goal of Jedi Initiate.

Phases now are only about 3 weeks so 1 week less isn't that big of a difference. Squills aren't hard the kill to begin with, and if everyone was given a jedi to begin with the game would be worse than it is now.

Well i'm very glad they were shortened to 3 weeks, that means only a few months of grinding...
My only problem now, is... I would like to be able to drop Vehicular Control and Reflexes and be able to switch to non combat xp using force trees... I am a merchant so I don't have to do anything for plenty of xp...
However with the current setup, I can't drop vehicular control and NOvice Reflexes and so I either have to work hard (which I hate doing) earning enough XP, or have to wait 2-3 more weeks till the next phase starts...

If you think this is too much, you should know that actually having a jedi is much much worse. The amount you earn for each kill is about 20% of what you earn now, and the xp required for each box is double or triple in some cases. If it could be done in 2 weeks then everyone would be a jedi,m and we'd all be playing KOTOR on-line.
Turn back now, before it really gets hairy...lol

could u cry any more?? i mean come on if u just want everything handed to u, why dont u go play mario cart where all u have to do is drive around in circles?? then u could win at that game. if u can handle the challenge quit. then there will be less Jedi, which is what they want. they want u to quit.
everything should be in place the way it is, its called checks and balances, the more obstacles they place the fewer ppl who can meet them.
