I HATE how we are now, i despiseit. Nothing is even remotely what it's supposed to be. It's absurd, annoying, and an absolute insult to star wars.
When i came into this game, and was told of jedi, i was PROMISED and GUARANTEED power, and difficulty. I was told that being a jedi would be the hardest thing in the game, like being a "Hardcore character in Diablo". THAT WAS THEIR WORDS. They told us if we died too much, that was it, it's gone. That the grind would be insane. Months it would take, maybe a year. But our rewards would be huge. Noone would withstand us. We'd mow through everything around us. I couldn't WAIT.
Now? Now it's crap. I saw a padawan take 3 weeks to finish template. That's it. Died 3 times to bounty hunters, and lost enough experience each time for 1 hours worth of play time. Are you kidding me? 3 weeks tofinish the alpha class, the best in the game, a JEDI?! And for what, 1.5x a normal profession?
And the worst thing are you people. All you damned idiots on this board SCREAMING for nerfs on other jedi. Why!? How in the world does that help anything at all? Push for major power and higher consequences!! DEMAND THEY DO WHAT THEY PROMISED.
This is how i pictured ending my jedi career: It's a massive battle, hundreds of people on both sides blasting away. Rockets whistling through the air, explosions everywhere. People in my faction are dropping. But not for long. I'm called in to assist. I've already had 2 deaths, and one more will delete my character. I run in flanking them, spinning my saber, blocking every shot that comes at me. With every swing, 3 people fall dead. I run through their ranks, dividing their army in half as i make my way to my allies. They surround me, grenades launching in my direction, everyone focusing on me. I'm blocking well, but a few get through. They keep coming, and i keep killing. My health is wasted, and after slaughteringa hundredof their army, i fall to the ground. I unlock my Blue Glowie as my character is removed from the game, because i was lucky enough to earn the rank to become Glowie, while my allies finish cleaning up where i left off.
Now, my retirement from jedi will simply be the day i'm sick of fighting Bounty Hunters equal to me in power, where the biggest thing i have to fear is negative experience that means nothing to me while i'm finished template, and can get back in an hour.

I know what you mean. I always pictured Jedi being 4-5 to a server. Now the only things that are that rare are normal players.

For most it does take months...those of us with jobs and are lucky to get a couple hours if that to play a day.
Why do I even bother though? you got yours and therefor no-one else should be able to.
Just like you most all true Star Wars fans invision themselves bieng a Jedi.

Actually, I never felt like being a Jedi. Seems wierd to some, and others agree. It just wasn't appealing to me.

I think it's pretty simple why it's like it is, because everybody has a Jedi now. It really was a lot different a year and a half ago and I'm just glad I was able to be part of it.
The game has changed, which is why I don't play my Jedi anymore. It's time for the new waves of them to play the game now. Meanwhile, I'll play my fencer, which is not only more fun, but more powerful.

Exactly. Jedi can't have that power because there are so many.

If you try to work out a template without respecing your way to it and most importantlywithout grouping ... it takes forever.
That killed my interest in the game ... The forcepool regen is just way too low for it to be viable get any xp alone, the downtime is what is staggering, my force wears out in three mobs. (I'm getting perhaps 6000 -10,000 xps per hour. I want a tier 4 box, that will take me ... at least 1,600,000 divided by 10,000 whichis 160 hours, or nearly a fullweek without sleep, at best. OK, that's solo, groups are faster, but ..... then you lose the sense of leveling. And I prefer to solo for leveling, or play with a few good friends.
And the way xp is distributed now ... it's an exploit that the devs can't kill, becuase the crybabies will use too long time to level to play the game.They would rather go play wow, which is a worse game IMO, but at least the downtime there is neglishable, since the points regen is almost a tad too fast.
If you dont agree that the xp, as it is now,is an exploit,answer me:YOU take ONE lousy swing at a critter, why should you get full xp whenOTHERS do the work?

Pre-CU Jedi were 'uber' because of their ability to mow down 5 TK's with no sweat. Now you would have problems fighting the Nuna's outside Theed. The reason why Jedi is so crap is because everyone in the game wants one.... seriously, there are atleast 150 Jedi on my server. I think that answers your question... the reason why Jedi is so lame is because there are too many Jedi's going around.
On a side note if this game didn't have so many 9 year old girls whinning about how good we are, none of this would happen.
