Thread: My idea for a new way to unlock jedi... DEVS, PLEASE READ!!
Kinda hard? It shouldn't even be possible for a newbie.
What I'd like to see is something along the lines of...
1) You get force sensitive after keeping two professions mastered for 6 months. (Only thing I can think of to allow crafter and entertainers entry....)
2) A series of 'applicant quests' to weed out those who aren't truly dedicated to what they're doing. None of this 'wipe out 8 trios of sith outlaws over 3 days' bs (and we won't even go into 'kill 20 falumpasets/whatever') - look more at things like 'donate 500 of 4 different items from this schematic that cannot be used for manufacturing schematics' for crafters, 'buff 3000 players in a cantina', 'heal 10,000 times', 'kill 400 ancient krayts', things like that. The ENTRY quests should be daunting and time consuming.
3) The padawan trials should make the applicant level quests look easy and short.
Basically, if you're not willing to spend a year of your time working toward jedi, you have no purpose playing one.
OK so what if this person was a ranged person and not a melee?

Ok, Ive been hearing aurguments all around that the village hasnothing to do with SW, so I think we outta get rid of it.
Also, if there are already jedi enclaves, why must we go to a puny village to get trained!?
Here is my idea..
yes, the way to become FS with the badges'll be the same.
The Force Sensitive imperial spies have discovered the village and have ratted them out. A seige takes place led by DV and the village is no more..
After FS will get a mail telling them the village has been annialated and have to meet up with the old man. They meet the Old Man in a small hut on tattooine and this is the start to the jedi themepark, and relies on one thing.. Choice
The old man sends you on a short themepark, talking to people across the galaxy and will be doing things for them. You have a Choice on each person on which each one tells which side of the force you will be serving. if you do a good deed, you earn light side points, do somthing bad will earn you dark side points (like KOTOR) Once you finish this themepark, and get enough either light or darkside points, either a light jedi or dark jedi will come to meet you (much like the old man does) and will send you to either the light or dark enclave. Once there, it will be a long themepark. The first quest is prove yourself to the gaurds outside the gate. youd have to go destroy a enemy camp of the opposing enclave. after this, the reward is getting granted acces to the enclave. You must then talk to another jedi which will send you on a mission to show him your skills with the melee weapon you choose. If you have more skills in polearm, you get double bladed, if you have more skills in fencer, you will get one handed, etc. You must go kill a specific random ananimal and bring him evidence that youve killed it. The reward for this will be a lightsaber crafting toolkit. The next quest is to gather ingeridiants for your saber. The reward for this will be given access to more of the enclave and the ability to craft a lightsaber. the next jedi will give you a quest to show him your skills with a lightsaber, and go kill a randome creature and bring him its head. Next you must challenge an opposing enclave jedi in a duel, once you win you recive your enclave robes. Now if you have done enough deeds evil or good, you will recive the title of padawan! and gain more access. AFter this you must persuade a young student of your enclave that had ran off to join to opposing one, to come back with you. After this you recive several abilities, and a new emote that allows you to wave your hand. You also recive a padawan cloak. You now will be given the ability to choose your master ( a Player character)
Soon you might go to a jedi hanger, and must do several simple quests and will be rewarded the old jedi starfighter
Oh and there would be another quest that would be on force powers light force push and stuff
This is just my idea, tell me if ya like it or not... I hope that the Devs read this!

Personally, I fail to see where all of these Jedi fit into the storyline of SW. Jedi are supposed to be extinct with the excpetion ofYoda, Luke,and his sister perhaps.
But I also think that if SOE were to eliminate Jedi, thousands of players would be frought with grief and aggravation. If the CU forced a lot of people into retirement, I can only imagine what a Jedi purge would do.
My only issue with doing a quest based FS Trial is that someone will post a walkthrough. They will post the waypoints for the best place to accomplisheach task and give you hints.
In my opinion, a quest based syetem will be great in the beginning, but after a while will be just as bad, or possibly worse than the current system.
It is a good idea in theory, but I think in practice, not so good.
The idea of gaining Light or Dark experience is intriguing. That I think should be worked into the game.
