I'm glad they did it. It makes it harder for me but it'll keep the jedi population down. Always try to look at the positives in a situation you can't control.

No offense, but this is an MMO afterall. Right on the box it says this game will change. If you are playing an MMO you better expect change. If you want a game that is the same every time you start it up then you better look for a first person game like KOTOR.
Sure the change hurts, I myself am 5 boxes from the second old man visit and Padawan trials (done with unlocks), but it doesn't change my attitude towards the game or the profession I am going after. It will take me longer but I can deal with that. I think SOE is trying to control the Jedi population and I think that is a good thing. The problem isn't the conversion change, it is SOE thinking that by changing the conversions it will in some way stop people from going after Jedi. It will only delay it. SOE underestimates its playerbase. No matter how long or difficult they make the journey to Jedi, people will do it.

Yes I took a break from the game but not by my choice. PC problems, moving and then internet problems keep me out of the game a couple of months. I understand that this is a MMO game and things are going to change I have played KOTOR and beat it as well as many other SW games. I am just venting because if the above things had not taken me out of the game I would have been done all ready now it is just going to take a little longer. theEwokDude and Kilo25 you are the type of people in the forums that tick me off people can't seem to start a discussion about anything with ppl like you getting down and them and saying if you don't like the game quit or something along those lines. I was just venting and would like SOE to leave things alone for longer then a few months or so. I have been playing since the orginal launch date of SWG and I am very aware of the changes that take place in this game and how SOE likes to do things. There is nothing positive about mass number of friends and fellow players leaving the game because of the way SOE does things.

a long time to get jedi or a hard time to get jedi, they have tryed them both and people still get ways to get jedi fast, the way i c it is to filter the jedi quest.
Example.......
Holocron - Unlock the professions as it used to be, some fo you may not know as you aint pre cu but the holocron used to be the means of becoming a jedi.
u get about.... 200 people going for jedi at once doing the holocron grind, once 1 person completes the holocron grind the other 199 people's holocron grind resets back to the start. it can take a fast grinder a good long time to get the holocron system done, i got mine done with 24 profs in 44 days, 1 1/2 months. so every 1 1/2 months there will be just 1 jedi per server coming into the game. If that happened and i was grinding jedi and got reset i would give up going for jedi.
/views please.

Discussion? I must have missed the discussion. I saw your post complaining about SOE constantly changing things in this game. I saw you complain about the conversion because you would have been done with the grind already. My point is you are not alone. Many of us would have been done already if it wasn't for the conversion change. The only difference is some of us don't complain about it on a public forum. We deal with it and move on. Now, if there is something you would like to discuss then lets do it. I am all for a good discussion. However, yoru post did not have anything worth discussing. It was full of complaints and rants. If you want a discussion then you should learn to reword your thoughts to convey a discussion. Instead, you sound like a kid who is going to take his ball and go home because he didn't get his way.

This was changed just before Phase 4 of the village. They had changed to CU and the sith attacking the village were ALOT easier to kill then before. I am a melee person. I had to throw grandes sometimes just to hit some of the sith because they were dieing so fast I couild not reach them before they died. Even on burst run. Imagine the granade grinders lobing their granades in the groups so Sith ( becuase they spawn in bunched up groups) and getting combat xp , then running a few feet to the village , then lobing some more granades. EVERYONE using granades would have finished the grind ( litrally ) in one day. I am guessing this was not what the Devs wanted.
If you think about it, it was something the Devs had to do. I am guessing it was something they spotted on the test server. I am sure that it was faster to change the xpconverson on the granades then to makegranades their own weapon catagory like many people were suggesting. I am sure programming that would have taken too long. I am not happy about it but hey.
Just have fun and know that your fellow FS grinders were affected as well. I really would have been upset if it was just me. LOL
Peace , and love and all the stuff.

I wasn't telling you to quit. I just suggested that you try to look at the postive side to any changes that they make.

this is nuts it excludes the casual gamer like me. Ihave beta tested this game and playing ever sence and am not jedi yet. yes i have taken breaks but the only two things i wanted to do was to be a jedi and a bounty hunter the later i have done. if you do this then the people who have job, kids, life will never be jedi only the power gamers and all the casual players will leave and all you will have is a galaxy of only jedi and people that only did jedi to say that they did and do nothing but show off.you wont have people that really want to be jedi and play them like there ment to be played in hiding why do you think SOE put in otherFS skills like range acc and range speed so that if someone came neara jedi while they are fighting they can change to a ranged wepandnot be noticed ie. hunted byBH i think the vis on jedi is great and the people that show off being a jedi should be hunted. at this point in the story line jedi are in hiding (yuda) and should be played that way not force running in circles in front of a star port.

Sorry I know there are positives to very thing just get tired of when someone post something and using one of the only ways we really have to vent to the Dev ppl jump all over ppl and start complianing (which you were not doing) about ppl voicing their opinions.

If you are being sarcastic then I am sorry but freaking 3 months of game play is not very long. Considering that if you are just starting the jedi stuff it will take you more then 3 months to get unlocks done.

I was merely venting which in America we are allowed to do and everyone has their opinion. I me pissed off because everytime they change things ppl that I play with quit playing either due to the change directlythat is made or they quit because they get tired of SOE changing things that effect one of their friends in a way that they have quit. I had a lot of friends from the begining of the game that after theCU quit. I deal with the changes that have been deal to us and move on but it would benice seeing how we are paying customers to be heard once and a while.Maybe the problem is that more ppl don'tcomplian about the waywe ascustomers arebeing treated without others complianing about them complianing (when they are pissed to butdon't have the courage to speak out about beingtreated bad ). If my post did not have anything worth discussing then why the heck reply to the thing unless you seen some worth in it or you just like to stir up crap with ppl. I would like to know why SOE continues to change things in the middle of ppl working on things is all I want to know. You yourself had been affected by the change right? No where in my post did it sound like that I was a kid that was going to take this ball and go home. I also was concerned about my toons losing the inner glow due to the fact that 2 of them have not really started doing much in the village. Yes I have 3 toons working on the village so I deal with in and move on every day just would like to be able to vent without other ppl jumping on other ppl's ass about venting. If the servers would not go down for maint.I would probably never post anything because I am dealing with it.
