Thread: Path to Jedi Padawan takes too long...
making a year wait.... could bea good idea, but SOE would never go for it. they would lose revenue and that is unacceptable. Do i think the process takes too long? compared to the original holo grinding... heck yeah. you could holo-grind it in oh... lets see.. when i was grinding.. I mastered about 4 professions in a week or so and i was something of a slacker. so lets see... 4 professions a week.... 32 total professions... 8 weeks. dang.. pretty short. and yes people unlocked from scratch in 8 weeks after the holo path was discovered. i think the longest i heard a friend waiting was about 16 weeks. that is the absolute longest, some gave up.. some took breaks and never finished but those that stuck with it... about 16 to MAYBE 20 weeks. now the village... I believe is a much much better system in itself. I hated the random career mastering. And I think the village is an easy method of unlocking yes. But I agree that the village takes entirely too long. Perhaps the devs thought this would slow people down, however as we see jedi are everywhere and continue to grow. If their intent was to slow them down (which I don't think it was) then they have failed. Personally i wouldn't see why they wouldn't allow two quest per phase. the double xp things... yeah they sucked in relation to this. but I for one appreciated it. I started my hologrind on wanderhome and then was working on village stuff when WoW and EQ2 released and wanderhome all but died. No population anywhere. so i relocated and started all the way over.... talk about something that sucked. LOL but anyhow.. it really hasn't been that hard and the only thing holding me back is a lil bit of xp and about 12 weeks or more of village phases. Now I haven't fussed or complained one bit about that... as it is my choices that led to it. But i still think the system should allow for multiple quest in village phases. and for the record.. yes I am a slow grinder... takes me forever to gather xp and stuff. long story short.. i don't really think jedi needs to be any harder... although I would like it shortened a bit. I notice a lot of jedi arguing that the process needs to be longer... i do soo hope that if that ever happens.. all the ones here posting about whiners and such are forced to endure something similar to that just to shut you up. I know it won't happen.. but a guy can dream right? LOL
ive been waiting 8 weeks so far and ive got another 1 till i cna get Jedi unlocked. Ive quit the game atm because of that. nice one soe, nice game.
people who say its too short well maybe if you a casual gamer but if you stock up on the exp then dont you deserve something? not a cookie pls, but thats $30 of my money so far wasted as every loot spot is wasted and i have no reason to play until i unlock.
village was a bad idea when i look back now compared to my high expectations. all i can say is stop flaming a guy who points out the faults in this crappy system.

Jinx..do you REALLY think bucks is all Sony Counts? Lost revenue doesn't phase them...someone else will always fill the void.
I've been playing almost since the game was released...I play ATK and haven't gotten Grind xp through Macros while AFK..and did it in Master Musician - I pay the same amount for my account as anyone else. I've requested things for my profession be fixed and watched while more and more was "lost". Almost 2 years into the game and now I'm going to sit and watch while even more is taken...I get to watch as other Professions go to Entertainer Sites and Post that my Profession should just be removed from the game entirely because it is so "lame"...sad thing is, I'm starting to agree with them. Sony has seen ALOT of folks saying they will stop playing since the game came out..yet, on it goes...with more players than ever on now. Sony likes the cash flow I'm sure..but the old adage 'The squeeky wheel gets the grease' applies so much more...since more folks think this game is ONLY about Jedi (or, at best, about Jedi -vs- BH) then THOSE folks will be the voices heard. And yes..I have seen that very thing posted in an Entertainer Forum on here..that Star Wars Galaxies is *ONLY* about Jedi and the people who hunt them. Personally, I'd like to think Mr. Lucas would use a dead fish to slap anyone who said that in his presence...but it seems for now THAT IS how the folks at Sony view it.
yes actually I do think SOE counts the bucks. Lost revenue does not phase them... gained revenue does. what do they care about the entertainer profession? not a bit. why? cause how many people come here to be an entertainer vs how many come here to be a jedi. I had an entertainer toon myself and I honestly loved it. I enjoyed the social aspect of it. Now.... that is all but shot.. yeah they fixed entertainer bugs... by taking you right out of the game and making tyhings better for combat in their eyes.. now why did they do this? well.. as you said.. they want to develop more on jedi and the people that hunt them, reason? cause as I mentioned earlier... they have a ton more people here that... than for entertainer or any crafter profession. Do not think for second this has nothing to do with money. It is a business move plain and simple. This game is coming closer and closer to a WoW replica each patch. I firmly believe entertainer will be obsolete in a few months myself, and we already see everyone being pushed towards combat Profs. Heck my Master AS has to take some combat just t okeep from being killed. now.. with all the whining and complaining that has gone on amongst ALL the professions... why on earth are they really ONLY fixing combat profs for the most part? yet again.. that is where their money is coming from. the entire game is money driven. they know if they drive you out.. or they drive me out.... they have ten people dying to be a jedi ready to come in. if they thought they would lose their butts on a decision.. it simply would not be done. Do they care about my two accts? prolly not.. in the long run I am like a drop of water... the point I was making earlier was simply that if they increased the jedi time period.. i would leave... do I expect them to miss me? not at all. simple as that. didn't mean to make it sound like my 30 a month would kill SOE if that is how you took it. =)

You need to be reported for abuse, posting hateful remarks should not be tolerated on these forums.
lol, so should you then, stating that people have no life, or have you forgotten that you wrote that? If so, look half a page up
Does it not count as abuse if you say that people have no life? of course it does. But since YOU posted it, its ok right?!?!
and while we are on the subject, telling people that you DONT know that they have no life?? lol, fools that talk without proof or understanding.
