Great, here we go, someone posts a rumour, someone else gets excited and theyspread this excitment throughout the boards.Then this "rumour" never happens and everyone who thought it would gets upset accusing the devs of lying to the players about it, even though the devs never say these things, they get blamed.


It's going to be Hoth all over again, I dare anyone to show me a post of the devs saying that Hoth would be in the next expansion.


I love rumours, they make things so nice for the forums, they never end up having a bunch of whiny complaining people posting about how upset they are, that never happens!


Please keep your rumours to yourself, I'm sure you mean well but you're not helping anyone with rumours from a "guy"

The current method to create Jedi is just ridiculous. Going out and mowing down entire planets full of innocent creatures just has no connection whatsoever to becoming a jedi. Maybe there was some untold backstory in between episodes one and two where Ben took Annakin out to Dantooine and the two of them spun Pikets for three months and then they waited for a visit from the Old Man, but I don't think that was it.


A new method to become Jedi would be very welcome in my opinion, as long as they make it more in line with what Jedi are supposed to be.

Oh you'd better get used to that. In fact, learn to love it. The FS is a walk in the park, the actual jedi grind is much worse. ~1k xp per kill, master boxes are 3.2 million xp. Grinding a row of anything requires a grand total of 3 million Jedi XP. Let's talk mastering a jedi profession.15.2 million jedi xp fora master profession, at 1k per kill.


Let's say you have an inspiration buff, and get 1300 xp per kill. That would be 11,693 pikets, bols, or whatever you hunt. That's only for 1 master. Like I said, learn to love grinding.

People will accept a hard grind once you are doing it with new stuff that you have not been using for awhile. Meh the devs will change how to become Jedi. They did it once which means they can and probably will do it again. Not going to say when or to what system it is all based on Marketings decisions on how to take the game.


That is right the marketing department controls a lot more than you think. If marketing wants more players to be Jedi so they can have more subscribers then you get easier and faster way to get Jedi. If marketing thinks there are enough subscribers they make it longer. Marketing is evil and takes away from the design and purpose of games. Then again it is all about money anyway.

I can say you what I not other guy read a month ago maybe two. It was in an enterview with one of SWG SOE chieffs he dais that they wanted to implement a new system involving master-padawan relationship but he didn't even mention FS. The other thing he said was that the new FRS was waiting for Lucas aproval before they could start implementing it.

One sec, grabbing translation calculator....


Ok, but my point is, the way rumors start is by someone just saying,"this one guy told me", or "I read this interview." What I require before I believe anything on these forums is proof. Show me a link to this interview, anything other than this chopped up response to this thread saying....."I can say you what I not other guy read a month ago maybe two."

This post is actually very encouraging to me.I don't know how it was when you got FS, but currently I get about 216 FS xp per kill.


that means I will need to kill 33,333 dewbacks to get FS completed. If what you are saying is true, Jedi will be easier then the FS grind.

Except when you factor in BH's killing you and you lose 2k xp per skill point in jedi, or the fact that your dps is nothing like a normal profession, oh and did I mention negative xp is possible, up to -10million?



Its not easier than FS grind, period.

if your not a dumb flashy jedi no bh problems will come your way, also in xp and the amount of kills to get a full jedi template on average is between 28 and 36million jedi xp both of which are easier then the fs grind in the amount of time it will take you, as long as you find a group doing the fs grind and join them you only have to do at worst case 42 sets of 16 lairs of lvl 80+ pickets in a full group, even at 2 sets a day its less then 3 weeks, i plan to do it in less then 10 days myself, wont happen til around october 20th or so, but im ready for it, i grinded all that fs xp in 14 days, and i havent grinded since july 11th so ive been just doing other stuff since then mayor/guild/pilot/quests/necrosis/farming/shopping the list goes on. so if your smart you will stay off the terms til your fully templated or forever.
