Just wanted to know what the plans are for the new Force Rank System. Ive heard lots of rumors from in game buddies as well as on these forums. Ive heard that its going to be less about pvp and ive heard its going to be even more about it. Well ive heard alot of things for that matter. Does anyone have some concrete information at all or is it all just speculation at this point?






Too often players and the devs have a mindset that professions should be balanced with 1 on 1 pvp in mind. This mindset is ruining the game. The benchmark for balance should be determined by the role a profession plays in a group setting. As long as the current mindset continues we will never see uniqueness among the professions, nor will we ever see individuality within a given profession. We will never see the SWG universe expanded as the focus will only ever be balance pass after balance pass after balance pass.

According to all that I've read here on forums I'd say most are just rumors.But it is possible that it will be more about the lore of Jedi and The Force as it is in Star Wars.And I do expect a considerable diffirence between a Dark Jedi Knight and a Jedi Knight,unlike in the past which was endless slaughter on both sides


It's getting old and is sad to see so called Jedi Knights be so ruthless...if you are a Jedi,you must be forced to act like one imo.If you wanna be a slaughtering machine turn to the Dark Side,simple as that.

i guess it will be easy to advance,but it will be hard to keep your rank. the dark side FRS will be pvp based for sure.

No a Jedi doesnt pay 15 dollars a month, the player does! Unless you think you wave a glow stick in real life....

Noone know anything at all really about the coming FRS. We know really so little that I think we cant even say it will include PvP! Actually.. We know nothing! So anything you hear really, from this forum or other forums about FRS, would most likely be pure rumours, unless they can provide a link to a Red Name.

All we know is that the FRS is currently awaiting attention from the Live Team. Thats the last message we got from the last stratic chat with the Devs.

i would love to see alot of my ideas in the new frs but doubt that would ever happen. We can always dream though right? I just want to know if any one has some hard facts on what we are too expect for the new FRS.

well if you read the responses from Baciacca in the post regarding the cloak nerf you will know that the new FRS is going to be even more about pvp on a 1vs 1 basis. So be prepared and go practice your template by pvping with your friends. If anyone wants to make a stiky for what Baciacca said be my guest. I would do it but i dont know how. Its in the post entitled "Intentions for force cloak from helios".
