sorry cant resist this, but those that were around will remember it...


/sarcasum on


For all those 2 year vets, sony decided to giveus all a trip down memory lane... Those of us who try to play today will sit and wait while the servers are worked on. During this timethey will give no eta on server up time or date.


There will be various rumours circulated during the down time including the good ol' favourites like "there is a roll back" and "they wiped the characters again".


Yes you too can experiance the frustration of waiting for the servers to be fixed just like we did in Beta !


/sarcasum off.


It made me think while i was sitting reading the forums and the launch pad chat, back to the days when i sat there waiting for the servers to be brought up again so we could test.


I think i deserve that underground bunker or free padawan slot after all that loyalty

Free jedi unlock is a bad idea that I hope never happens. Do it right, earn it through hard work. If I've been playing less than 6 months, and have 3 unlocks, you 2 year guys have no excuses. The easy way out is not the answer, and will likely ruin your jedi experience.



2nd character slot is an excellent idea for 2 year vets, however.

Um, NO. It wouldnt "ruin" the jedi expierence.... your just saying that bcsu dont want it implimented. U only played 6 months, so dont criticise us vets. I stopped FS grinding bcs this whole system makes it not worth the time. Id like an instant unlock, 2 years playing with all the bugs... its fair compensation. PLus all the down times we have had over the years. Anyway, 6 months is hardly enough to criticise a vet... so shut up please. Nothing ruin's the "jedi" expierence, jedi is nothing like its supposed to be so therefore ruins itself. But id still like an instant unlock, just to say i have a jedi.

Comin up on that two years... and I see support for this.. but my opinion is this....


Forget Jedi, Force Sensitive, all of that. Just a second character slot with absolutely no strings attached. That means no free FS lines, no free Jedi, no free anything. Just a simple character slot on my main toons server.


I don't want a lightsaber. I don't want to be Jedi. I just want to have a second character that I can use for homes, storage, crafting, etc...


I know SOE would never even consider this option. I wish they would, but lets be realistic. It won't happen becuase they rather have me either....


A. Grinding constantly for some other pointless skills I don't want/need


B. Go out and buy the new super duper all in one pack and start a second account.


Honestly I refuse to do either. I unlocked 6 lines of FS already, I'm 1,0,1,0 CP 1,4,1,0 ER 0,0,1,0 Senses.... needless to say, I'm not exactly "grinding" now.


I spend 90% of my time with JTL. PvP is not my thing since I can't stand being a Jedi doormat, I'm a PvE only BH due to the fact they borked my Pre-CU template... I sat through JTL Beta, I was an Alpha tester (LMAO!) I sat through CU/ROTW Beta.... I've stuck with this game and this Dev team through thick and freakin thin.


SOE, is it too much to ask? A second character slot, thats it. No super uber duder stuff. 2 years we've stuck it out with you, would it seriously hurt the "balance of the game" to give us 2 year vets a 2nd character slot plus some additional item or something?


We've listed plenty of options. Everyone seems to like the AT-PT idea, new playable ships, etc... ISD mini... give us a choice of one of those in addition to giving us a 2nd character slot. I've been here 2 years almost, I don't need more stuff taking up space, I need another toon to help lighten the load!





There is no peace, there is anger.
There is no fear, there is power.
There is no death, there is immortality.
There is no weakness, there is the Dark Side. I am the Heart of Darkness.
I know no fear, but rather I instil it in my enemies. I am the destroyer of worlds.
I know the power of the Dark Side. I am the fire of hate.
All the Universe bows before me, I pledge myself to the Darkness.
For I have found true life, in the death of the light.

I think the free character slot would be nice. I've started and have stoped the Jedi grind about 10 times now. I just keep getting bored with it and come to find out recentlyI should have holo'd profession it. It goes quicker. The other thing I hate about it is I basically have to ruin my current character just to get the Jedi unlocked. 24 points on waisted skills just to get the unlock. You got to be kidding me. With the free unlock I at least wouldn't be able to mess it up. Lets see here, I got the minutures, apparently that was a waist of rewards. I did get the ADK, accidently used it on a stupid weapon. I waisted that also. I've had back luck on the good items I've gotten. A few weeks ago I accidently destroyed the best ship weapon (damage wise) that I've ever seen or had heard of. So, please give us something that I can't mess up. Perhaps I could get rid of my curse when it comes to my character. Oh yea, now that the combat upgrade is in place I wish I could change races. The free character would help with that...

Alot of players are pushing this second character slot, but what about those players that have already unlocked their second toon?

Good question!


Lets see, I would suggest that this where additional options like the AT-PT come in, give us a choice then. Second character slot plus one of the special options.. Kind of like ordering chinese food 1 from column A one from column B.


Column A:


  • 2nd Character Slot

  • 10 free lots

  • something close to or equal to a 2nd character slot. Nothing related to unlocking Jedi or FS skills due to the fact that the cries of "unbalancing" and "I had to grind till my fingers bleed... Whaaa...!!!"

Column B:



  • Mini-Star Destroyer

  • AT-PT vehicle

  • New Bunker style home (with 500 item storage)

  • many other "materialistic" types of rewards....

IMHO, something like this would be worthwhile and ample compensation for sticking with SWG for this length of time.

Allright " ...wraps self in flame resis blanket "


Ok to the orginial poster , just because your a "old-timer" doesn't give you the right to 1 each of the vet. rewards . I am not saying this out of envy because I have another account that started the game before player cities were put in. Giving 1 each of all the rewards would hurt the economy of servers cause you know not all vets are keeping there rewards With the state of the game it is in should we really be hassling the devs to put hte vet rewards at the top of there list?? -thx

Ok


/sigh just saw a post stateing the vet rewards are not tradeable. I can't confirm or deny this as i have never sold any of my vet rewards. If it is true about not being tradeable I withdraw my privous post with full apoligies and agree.

I still think freeing up Force Sensitive point req. would be an awesome reward when i hit the 2-year mark, or maybe being able to transfer a force sensative/jedi char.

How about a weapon upgrade kit that allows you to pemanantly upgrade any weapon of your choice by a certain percentage. Would also have to work with ADK'ed weapons.



Playing WoW and loving every second of it!
Thankyou NGE for not making me want to play SWG!

That would be incredible. After two years, most of us have had the opportunity to play all the professions we have wanted to and visit all the POIs and dungeons we have wanted to. Having a Jedi would keep a lot of us bored players from contemplating the cancel button every month we get our credit card statements.

The second character slot would be awesome, too. Even better would be a second character slot with a different way to get Jedi-- perhaps one of the many guesses people had before Monika that were actually cool, rather than the profession unlocking or experience grinding jokes that somehow made it to live. If we wanted to grind professions or a pile of experience, we would have done it sometime in the past two years.

Hopefully it will be something cool, useful and tangible. Not another piece of junk to put in my house that's so full of loot and collectibles it looks like a museum...
