does anything we jedi say mean anything to you? like when we tell you about the crushing let down jedi is once you actually achieve it, or how regular professions are more powerful right now? Does the thought of swinging a saber really mean that much to you? i know it did to me but the awsome factor of it died within 2 weeks...

What is the big obsession with jedi? next to everybody has it, most don't even play it, its weak, a longer grind than FS with "setbacks"

Just wondering why you guys are so obsessed with it...im not flamin or whatever just curious, i can't remember why i was so obsessed with it anymore having actually experienced it...

opinions?

There are just WAY to many variables to such a statement that I can't cover them all. However a couple observations:

1. "we jedi say..." unfortunately a vast population of jedi are teenagers, and many have a...maturity factor...which is questionable, which means a certain hesitance to listen to the advice of jedi as a whole exists....

2. "crushing let down..." I would suggest this reflects on what one expects of the jedi profession. If one is obsessing over having the "uber" class, being able to "pwn" anything that moves, well then yeah, I'd think it's a let down. Then again, if one is looking for a wider variety to the grind, a new class with new skills to try, etc., jedi holds a certain appeal.

3. "most don't even play it..." I expect a large amount of the jedi population boom has to do with individuals seeking the "uber" rush, basically for bragging rights. These are the star port duelers, the annoying glow stick wielders which foment the "hatred" of jedi from so many players. So actually when I hear the profession is a let down with issues, well that could be good news as it may hopefully weed out the "easily bored" crowd... Besides, the other professions all have things that are broken as well, so what's different about broken things in jedi?

4. As for me, I've been at the game just over 1 year, and am enjoying just exploring the game. I've got three accounts, (one soon to be cancelled once I get the alt), and have covered most of the professions which interest me. Part of that interest is to just see what jedi is all about. Of course to some of us, SWG is a long term interest, (it is to me), so when I hear about all the problems it has, I'm also willing to bet the devs will, eventually, try to make it more interesting, and I would like to have a saber available when that time comes...

Just a few observations from yet one more perpetual force grinder...

The best thing you can develop as you grind FS is a thick skin in regards to these forums and the Jedi forum in particular. I personally would not trade Jedi for any other profession in the game, and I've done a bunch of them, regardless of how others perceive their power or lack thereof. Jedi is iconic Star Wars, arguably the richest forRP'ers, and that is enough for many. The power of the Jedi profession is not in any one particular ability -- we're not the best damage dealers, we're certainly not the best mezzers or healers. The power of the Jedi profession is in the diversity of disciplines that can be put into one template. Pay no attention to the naysayers.

you know its mixed i have played jedi post and pre cu on gorath and loved it. not saying your one to do this but alot of jedi are greedy and want population to go down so they discourage alot of grinders not to go jedi. if they are disapointed in jedi let them go off and not be jedi they can go any profession later if thats what they choose to do. how ever what happens if jedi ever do get good components to make batter weaponry again and then something happens to lengthen the grind...they will be sol. so in my opinion go for it get moving while its still semi easy to achieve. if not later it may be the fall to you wanting to quit the game or give up.

like i said no offence to original poster not saying thats your motive at all

I grind to be a Jedi mostly because i feel forced to that, i have played this game in allmost 2 year and got allmost all badges. I had no plans on to make a jedi but when all ppl keep ask me when i shall be jedi i got tired so now i grind jedi for get my new alt that will be what i have allways been, but i silent them who ask me when i shall be jedi.

I would rather see other alpha proffessions added as Emperors Hand, Deathwatch Commandos or Blacksun Operative and so on then be a jedi.

I dont expect a jedi to do anything special because a group of 4 ranged fighters can in many ways do more thigns then a group of 8 jedis, that is thigns i have seen with my own eyes.

Fein out
