Do u think this is an rpg anymore, i dont see that many badges on ppl anymore, or quests they have done, i just see 2 maybe 3 elite badges and everyone grinding like hell to get jedi.


what does everyone think is gonna happen when frs gets turned back on its gonna be one hell of a fight, PVP will have a new meaning on that day i tell u cos anyone that got to jedi and didnt get knacked in some way or other is gonna be ready for knight trials.


what are all your thoughts on this and the way our game has evolved from swg to mmo knights of the republic jedi force.

/agree


It's turning into KOTOR Online. Yes, I'm grinding for Jedi, but I have close to 70 badges and I've played this game for more than a year. Furthermore, I fully intend to play my Jedi as a Jedi should be played. What annoys me the most is all the Jedi I see running around with their robes on, lightsaber in hand, and their "Jedi Padawan" tag hanging over their heads. A large portion of the "Jedi Problem" would be solved if the current class of Jedi would actually act like Jedi and make themselves anonymous. People don't complain about there being too many Jedi if people can't see how many Jedi there are...

I support removing Jedi from the game rather than leaving them as represented in NGE

Lets put it this way. I was in a group the other day with 2 padawans. One was named 'michealjackson', the other 'davechappelle'. I think role playing has gone bye bye.

Yup I agree with that. If I ever deside to join the dark side and grind jedi no one would ever know(except thoes I grind with) that I was a jedi. I'd be walking around town in my crafted Imperial Uniform carrying my FWG. If someone(like a reb) wanted to challange me to a duel, well he's a goner. Of course for a while I would use my gun at first, then I would whip out a saber and rip him a new one.


But then again the though of killing 1 billion bols to become a jedi is not appealing to me.

Yeah and that's not right. PrePub 9 you needed to grind for a long time(profession grind) Back then it was hard. I played for 4 months an only managed to get to the CU equivelent of a lvl 50. The solo grind really sucked.


Now you can go from Lvl 1 to 80 in about 2 - 3 weeks with average game play. And they said the grind was going to be harder post CURB

Not really sure what is going on. There seems to be a total lack of any control being enforced by the CSR's or the developers. It seems really odd because in every other SOE game I've played there has always been really strict policies including names, including warnings, suspensions, bannings. But the only thing SOE has banned for in this game is credit duping.


Not really sure why. It's almost like they either don't care, or their hands are tied, but I find it hard to imagine either one being the case.

It has felt less like an RPG since it has been EQ2ified. EQ2 has the same feeling of it being an 'online adventure game' as opposed to an MMO.

The reason for this is there is a constant grind in both games. In EQ2 getting to L50 takes time; here getting to Jedi takes time. In short people have limited game time and chose to spend that time grinding. Completely different to before when you mastered your profession reasonably quickly and your time was then occupied by RP, events etc.

Im prolly gonna get flamed like hell because im using WoW as an example.



But quest where alot more fun to get exp then grinding was.. I think the same "was" for this game. Quest are fun. But this game has lack of content, why im probly gonna cancel my subscription soon.



Oh well, if killing 784728472834 Monsters is what you call a path to a Jedi, so be it.

What would be really good (and funny:smileytongue is just let all the BH able to kill any jedi they see and bring back perma-death for about a month. Just make a small note where not many people will notice. I know jedi would probably just hide in their homes and play with their alt for a month but if you could take them by suprise you could get a huge chunck of jedi eliminated. I too once I'm a jedi will play like a jedi is ment to be (one I pull out a lightsaber in from of a MBH:smileytongue

I'll tell you exactly whats gonns happen: Nerf FS XP conversion rate to cut down on Jedi? Make the Village gated by phases? Not necessary. Just turn on the FRS.


When those that are not wothy to be Jedi, the ones that get Glowy, get to the village, and don't know that you can only do one Quest per phase, have to fight other Jedi Knights, and especially Pre Pub 9 Jedi, to survive, or have to fight DJK's fo advance, they're gonna be alot of Jedi Robes and Light Sabers on the Bazaar ( figuratively speaking, they can't be sold or traded). These guys will be deleting toons like that nutty Judge on Roger Rabbit.


Next time you see them, their names will be different and they'll be crafting Blob Candy for a living.


It's gonna be a side-splitting funny.


(Wonder if I can get a Guildie to craft some Parachuttes for me to sell on the Bazaar for all the Jedi that will be bailing out. We'll make millions.)






if you knew about the FRS, thats not being turned on for a while, because they are fixing bugs before any new content

Just make a small note where not many people will notice. well you sure are nice, make a small note where people might notnotice that their jedi they worked on for a while will be deleted if they die 3 times? nice...I know jedi would probably just hide in their homes and play with their alt for a month but if you could take them by suprise you could get a huge chunck of jedi eliminated. VERY STUPID IDEA I too once I'm a jedi will play like a jedi is ment to be (one I pull out a lightsaber in from of a MBH:smileytongue
