Well, whatever, everyone has their own way of playing, but here is my personal way :


I have been jedi for a year now.


I have NEVER shown a jedi tag of any kind.

I have NEVER duelled where non-jedi can see me duelling.

I have NEVER worn my jedi robes where any non-jedi can see me, with the exception of BH. When they declare themselves, I do the same.


When I read all this complaining and moaning and groaning and flaming I feel very sad for jedi and for the game as a whole.


So, I if I take this forum to be an example, I know that at least 90% of jedi are only interested in being uber and/or moaning and whining and showing off and waving their glowstick.


I am not saying that my way is the only way. But even darkside jedi are not interested in showing off in front of non-jedi.


This is an appeal to the remaining 10% of players who play the role of jedi ... a raise of hands ... I know there are a few of you out there ... just say "aye" ...








/raisehand


/say "aye"


Tough I just have started the padawan ways about 2.5 months ago, I have a lot of fun. Due to some accidents out of my control (npc spawning too close, PCs having fun driving into me while radar doesn't update) I must have gotten visibility, but still have to find the first BH coming after me...


And I'm halfway dropping my skills of the non-jedi sp spent! I can get 2 tier 4 jedi boxes and then i have to giveup my last non-jedi profession...


So it can be done

I've never done any of the showboating you describe. I just don't feel like I have anything to show off. I still get the occasional visit from a bounty hunter though. It's simply not possible to participate in the game without generating at least some vis. I'm not planning on playing my jedi as an Obi-Wan hermit type.

I'm an enhancer with force aura. Without force armor, infusion and aura on ALL THE TIME, I'm a one shot kill to BHs. So not showing off = death and xp loss... for me.

I try to most of the time. I have never worn my jedi tag. Never wear jedi robes anywhere, (just hate the way they look..lol). Never duel or use force powers/flash saber in cities and such.


Questing is a different story. I pay my fee so, if I want to do a quest or something I do. But I see no reason for me to "show off" in public just for the sake of sayin "hey look at me, Im a jedi" to everyone in the city..lol.


So in essence yes I do try to stay hidden to a certain extent.

What are you talking about? Just playing the game (mind you GRINDING doesn't count as PLAYING) will cause visits from a BH. With the proposed changes you will need to play differently. If you can't see that you have no concept of PvP.

My LS has lit up once in town, from a BH attack.


Well, whatever, everyone has their own way of playing, but here is my personal way :


I have been jedi for a year now.


Approaching 2 come December.


I have NEVER shown a jedi tag of any kind.


I actually show no tags of any kind, on any of my Characters.


I have NEVER duelled where non-jedi can see me duelling.


Same.


I have NEVER worn my jedi robes where any non-jedi can see me, with the exception of BH. When they declare themselves, I do the same.


I've never bothered to wear them Post-CU. There's no point, as mods are busted,so I just wear my BE clothing.Pre-CU they were hotkeyed.


When I read all this complaining and moaning and groaning and flaming I feel very sad for jedi and for the game as a whole.


So, I if I take this forum to be an example, I know that at least 90% of jedi are only interested in being uber and/or moaning and whining and showing off and waving their glowstick.

Just because I'm not flashy doesn't mean I don't quest, and I'm sorry, but not being flashy hasn't saved me from the nerf bat.




See my sig for a possible solution!

I don't understand why people are bashing the OP. He's not referring to generating visibility for BH visits... he's referring to not doing the in-game behaviors that make people hate Jedi so much. (Dueling at starports, wearing robes and titles in public, etc.)

I support the OP's code of conduct and have been following it myself. My guildmates are doing the same, but that's because I'm fortunate to belong to a guild of mature players.

Re-read the original post. It's not about avoiding game content. It's about not being a complete tool.

I'm confused, are you bragging that you are a rollplayer and that other Jedi are not rollplayers?


As for "showing off", it's easily fixed via "random ecnounter NPC BHs". Having a NPC spawn on a Jedi who shows off in a NPC city will curb the "show-offs" and restore some integrity to the them of StarWars.


Also, NPC Cities should have Police/Gaurds/Imperials (the Empire is in control) insta SaberTEF ALL Jedi who equip their sabers within 32m. These "gaurds" should also "call-in-reinforcements" when a JEdi is TEF'd in this fassion. Coding these "Gaurds" in the same way the BH/NPC/Marks are codded will allow for a them-vs-jedi approach which would increase the feeling that we are playing a game in the StarWars Universe.


As for the robes, I would never wear mine and had only worn them for about 2-3 weeks after deciding to get my second chatacer.


For showing off, I run around solo while declared special forces...if someone attacks me at a starport while passing through am I now showing off and offending you becasue I was attacked on site?
