Thread: TOO MANY JEDI.....

When does it effect something? When you PvP and suddenly the entire battlefield is jedi. There are hardly any regular soldiers in PvP battles anymore, as everyone who gets their ass kicked by a jedi runs off to try and do it themselves.......every month a few more holdouts go. Now PvP battles are massive glowstick conventions.


And for the record, I'm notcrying at their "uberness." They're not uber, I've killed plenty. I'm complaining because it's very "Un Star Wars" to have more jedi than regular people.

Everyone has killed plenty of Jedi, most of us here are aspireing Jedi so I would suggest staying off the FS boards to complain about Jedi. they need to make a board that's is for complaining about Jedi perferably called

"we are noobs and suck at SWG and IRL So we want to complain about Jedi"





Star Wars is all about Jedi.



When the game first was advertised that's what they pushed...



There is no peace only Destruction...

Ever heard of a thing called the combat nerf dude, what do you think this is going to do to the FS grind?

1. Weapon damage/speed will be dramatically reduced.
2. It will take more then 1 person to hunt.
3. Grenades will no longer be combat XP.

I could go on, but i'm tired and don't feel like it.



true BUT by the time to CU hits a lot if not most peeps will already be done with FS grind

Maybe if they had set this game in Republic times I'd agree with you. I have no problems with jedi beyond the fact that they ruin the context that the game is supposedly set in. Fine, make a patch that throws things back 100 years, we'll all be jedi! But that's not where they set this game.

this is a really dumb discussion, in the end... ITS STILL JUST A VIDEO GAME!!!

And you know what, with the 5 months it takes to have a Jedi, maybe we should stop complaining that there are too many lightsabers out there, and just give congrats to those who had the mustard and patience to finish the tirals and the grind.

i agree with xarkon, if u dont like all the jedi then leave. that'll be one less jedi running around. Everyone complains about all the jedi but their own. blah blah blah "its not the time period" blah blah blah. these are the same people that complain about the anti-decay kits (which i believe is a great idea btw). too much whining. I'll be getting my jedi in a couple weeks(nade free) and i cant wait.

For the record, I'm not a jedi, and for the record, I don't really mind them "because I can't kill them." I've kill tons of them. I'm going to continue to play the game, it's fun to kill jedi and any other imperial players I come across. But it'd definately not Star Wars. Keep bashing me for what you believe to be my playstyle all you want, it's still stupid to have more jedi running around than regular folks. That's my only point.

Okay.....

First of all, what kind of dolt comes to the FS boards to complain about too many Jedi? A Troller, that's who. This person doesn't even warrant a response. It's sheer relativity really. More people play now than before, subsequently, more will become Jedi, yet...YET... the percentage of Jedi to mainstream population, I would dare say, has been relatively unchanged since Publish 9. Of course there are more Jedi. Are there more Jedi to non Jedi? Perhaps but not by much. Are there more Jedi than "regular people"? Come on, this is a ridiculous statement. Many of us "see" more Jedi because we happen to be in places that more Jedi populate. A Noob will rarely encounter a Jedi, grinding his Novice profession in Mos Eisley. However, a Master Elite on Dathomir, Night sister hunting is MUCH more likely to encounter a Jedi. Another point. Noobs do not engage in massive PvP battles, and there again, would not encounter a Jedi. Master Elites do. It all in the perception of the game.
You get bigger pants, you see others who also have big pants.


To the point about perma-death? Horrible idea. It's hard enough to get a Jedi to come out of their house now, when they are being hunted because of the *gasp* XP they might lose if they get whacked. Imagine if they could lose their character for good? Geez, BH's would never be able to catch a mark.

Finally, I'm a BH and have no problem with Jedi. I appreciate the long and tedious grind it takes to become one. Most I have encountered are respectful and have my respect.
To those on this FS board who are heading down the Jedi path, keep it up. Do not get discouraged. Remember the goal. Besides, it is Jedi that keep my pcokets filled, the more Jedi, the better...hehehe..

And what's even more stupid than that. Pay money for something. Proceed to make a case about how stupid it is. Then, continue to pay more money for it. Now that's stupid.

I'm not a troll, and sorry that I've angered the entire forum. I enjoy the game, I enjoy paying money for it. I never said I didn't enjoy it, so stop putting words in my mouth. I read this forum because I used the villiage to grab a few melee speed boxes and am fairly interested in where this game progresses (because, well, I DO pay for it). I thought it was a valid point, apparently not. I'll leave all you jedi folks alone now, cept when I kill you in game.

Whine, cry, complain, and throw a tantrum..


Welcome to the forums.


I love how many people there are who love to complain that there are too many Jedi. Don't like 'em, don't become one I'd care to bet that if everyone who complains about Jedi would stick to the non-FS professions there'd be a helluva lot fewer of them.


People did the holo-grind because they wanted to play Jedi, people continue to grind and put up with waiting for village phases because they want to play Jedi. And as long as people want to do something they will find a way to do it. If the other professions were more appealing (or in many cases-in any way effective) there'd likely be fewer Jedi. So instead of a Jedi nerf, try boosting all the other content in the game.


And a few random thoughts..


Perma death: Want perma-death, make it for all professions. Funny how no one ever thinks the def stacking templates should ever have to start over. So when you agree to actually take this risk yourself maybe I'll think about supporting that idea, until then go use a tissue for your crying and not the forums.


2nd Char spot: Since I noticed a few people mention they wanted to unlock FS for this, and I though about it too I figured I'd mention. SWG has a lot of content, and it is very appealing to someone the idea of having a character for combat and one for something else, on the same server. Solution-everyone may have up to two characters per server, or remove stacking so that only one master profession is needed and those SP can go into something else.


I'm sure I could do more, but it's 1:00 AM and I just read this entire flame-fest of a thread so I no longer have the patience.

Don't like it? Roll up a bounty hunter and exterminate them all. Don't want to do that? Can't do that? Then deal.
Do you honestly think that, given the time this game has been going, that more and more Jedi wouldn't appear on the scene? In the complete long run, everyone will be, or have, a Jedi. Do you honestly think that SOE could limit the Jedi population and actually still encourage people to play, and pay for, this game? Don't like the way SOE is handling the situation? Get hired as their managing director. Go write your own Star Wars game. Don't want to do that? Can't do that? Then deal.
