Thread: Badges=No Glowey?
I have a feeling it has something to do witha rumour I heard that they are turning off the village. My theory is that they want the new expansion to determine how you become jedi in order to slow down the jedi breeding thats going on.
If you can't reach glowy status, you dont get the initial visit from the old man meaning you dont get to go to the village, and Im guessing that once you have access to the village you can still continue onward or so Im fervently hoping. I just finished my fs grind the other day and am now waiting for the old pharte to show up, assuming he does.
If they make it so you have to buy the expansion to become jedi, they make more money that way and screw the rest of us (did I mention i never bought TTE and am still using the core edition I bought back in april?).Because nowadays, you have 3 versions of the game you can play:
1st, crafter: meaning all you do is spend the first 6 months trying to scrounge up enough credits to buy some crappy resources in order to grind-build stuff no-one ever buys anyways. To add to the insult, Elite-Crafting professions take far too long for the casual player to finish in any reasonable amount of time (now we know they sell 12 month game cards).
2nd: Bounty Hunter: meaning all you do is fight npc's until you reach master and end up pissing off a small portion of a servers player base. I havent done BH since before the shakeup but from what Ive been hearing, its now the equivalent of grinding jedi because its the only Profession that has any real power in its special attacks.
3: Jedi: you grind badges and xp for 18 - 21 weeks only to learn you have another two weeks of quests and then a fight against an Npc which unless you have top of the line equipment and the right template, you dont have much of a chance of doing on your own. Then afterwards, you're forced to do nothing but mindlessly grind for another 3 weeks (at best) before you master 1 jedi "profession" and you still have to deal with bounty hunters who routinely gang up and in multiple cases Ive witnessed, exploit game-glitches to wipe out your last three of work.
I long ago decided that once, I get my character to Padawan status and unlock my second character..I'll be grinding Jedi when and if I feel like it. The odds of my finishing a template are frankly unrealistic if I want to try and enjoy any of the content Ive been missing because Ive been busy grinding force sensitive xp and want to keep any chance of defeating a BH in a duel.
And of course, assuming the old man shows up because of this moronic glowy state issue which never should have happened in the first place. And now we get a publish which has cracked the game in hundreds of places both big and small and theres a explansion release which promises to add more to the devs workload. At this point, im not bothering to blame the developers, after all its the people at the top who call the shots as to what gets worked on and what doesnt.
