Thread: Time Limit on the Village... Well Why not a time limit on the accounts too.
It really bothers me to see lvl 23 Master Brawlers at the village getting kicked around by sith and whining for people to help them... They should make it that you have to at least have 1 elite proffesion. And yeah, I agree with the whole time period thing... I didn't get FS until about 5 months into playing SWG.
i must say i agree with this, when i started 9 months ago a jedi was a rare sight, but now i cant go anywhere without seeing or hearing a jedis sabre, admitidly when i 1st started i wanted to be a jedi, but after i got into the game i didnt, i sampled different proffessions. I really hate how easy it is to get jedi now, the tutorial badges=content badges so you have 4 already, do a themepark, thats your 5, then how difficult is it to use your BARC speeder to go to the POIs, id give it a week tops to get all the stuff to become FS then at max 2weeks till the old man comes.
The only thing they have done to make it harder to reach jedi is make the sith that attack you are CL 77 so n00bs will die, which is a good thing

Nope, Over the 4th of July weekend my friend came back to the game and started over. He got the game on friday and with double exp made CL80 by sunday and got all the badges done and the old man visited him that tuesday. By the end of his first week he had enough exp banked to get 3 branches. While at first double exp sounds good it really isnt..
Yup that's the problem. The 3 weeks of double XP + when ever a server crashes they gives us another week of double XP(Gess 2 servers got 4x XP because It took 2 days to roll back and then reapply the CU) I also heard(but have not confirmed) that during the double XP months PCs go 12k for killing a bol and then when they cashed in the got double FS XP(cash in 30k get 2k in FS XP)
That's the cause of all the noob jedi.

Look...i know how you all hate that there are so many Jedi running oround....but you have to see that a lot of new players are starting the game just for that (I believe you have seen the new tutorial). SOE needs those players...if they made becoming jedi "too" hard..they could have quite some financial damage
Yeah but seriously, what exactly is so wrong with a player being forced to experience the rest of the game first. I don't see why anyone would have a real complaint against this. The only real trouble I see with this is for the people who create chars for the sole purpose of getting them to Jedi and selling them off on ebay. And I don't think anyone wants those people playing Jedi anyway, am I correct?
So really, what is 3 or 6 months worth of paid play time? 6 months is about enough time to casually master a few professions, and explore most, if not all of the game's content eh?
I also think though that the badge requirement should be more on par with 75 or so badges instead of the rediculously low requirement they have now. but the time limit on the account would make it a moot point really.

Yeah but have you seen the FS XP Ratios now? They have just made it a Years worth of Grinding 5 hours a day to get enough normal XP to convert for all 6 Branches...So they obviously dont need that much money.
I congradulate the Devs totally the Jedi numbers will fall. People will realise that SWG is not just about the Jedi. I have played for 2 years without a Jedi and only decided to take it up at a leisurely pace. Now I am phase 4 shift on Chimaera off Jedi and I am happy because the Devs may have fixed a minor problem. No more wanabe Jedi only Jedi who want to be Jedi and want to wait for the FRS to come back up.
SO I don't think they are too bothered about the money they must be earning enough.
I have seen the changes yes. And yes it sucks. And no it won't really help the issue. But the account time I think is fairly necessary to help limit the "kind" of jedi we get. basically Jedi who don't know anything about the rest of the game except Jedi. I think that's just wrong IMO.
I still think that ultimately they are going to have to change the visibility rules for Jedi who goof off inside Cities and opposite factional player cities, and are going to have to start including some NPC gank squads in with the BH stuff.
Forcing Jedi to behave like Jedi is the only way, and those who want to play Jedi the right way will have little to no problems with this kind of newvisibility. The only people it will hurt will be those that nobody really wants to see as Jedi anyway.
