I am aure by this point some people at SOE have decided that SWG: An empire Divided was a good testing ground for what not to do for SWG: part 2. SWG started out ver well for the first 7 months until jedi fever hit, then the game took a turn for the worse. Everyone grinded like crazy to make jedi until almost everyone had a jedi alt. Jedi were fairly uber when the first came out then got nerfed to oblivion due to it being a "common" profession. My solution in SWG: 2 would be as follows.
SWG 2 should be placed between episodes 2 and 3. This idea brings out a plethora or options for factions to join and can also make for a much more vast serever( not as man servers needed this way). Your faction can be seperatist or one that is loyal to the republic. With a server so vast and with so many options available. I would believe unlocking a jedi would be a much more difficult task. Here is one way to make it.
If one wanted to become a light jedi you would have to join a loyal republic faction, then master specific professions while in that faction. Oh, and by the way, they will not tell us what these specific professions are so we may have to master all 31 while in that faction. We will know we have done those 4 by getting a screen message that says " leg one completed" or something to that effect. After your specific professions are mastered, you then must achieve the highest rank in that faction( which would be a serious of quests and xp on its own). That is leg 1 of the journey. Leg 2 is to join another faction, master 4 more specific professions then achieve highest rank in that faction. When you join a new faction it is the equivalent to re-rolling so you may have to do professions you have already done over again. This prevents making the jedi path an obvious one when you get to your new faction. Leg 2 completed when you get a screen message and achieve highest rank in that faction. There will be 5 faction loyal to the republic and you have to do this with all 5 factions giving you a grand total of 155 professions one might have to master, not to mention attaining highest ranking in each faction. This system forces the GCW to be very prevalent and actually mean something to everyone.
Once all 5 legs are completed, you are visited by someone on the jedi concil and inveited to train as a jedi, where you are then assigned to different factions to assist in battle or hunt down dark seperatist jedi.
Dark jedi will be unlocked the same way, only you ahve to do it in each of the 5 factions that are loyal to the seperatists. Once all 5 legs are completed, Darth Sidious os Count Dooku visit and you join thier cause. You are the same as light jedi with seperatist factions or you go into hiding and await time to show yourself.
Jedi will be uber. As in,15 people will not take one down. Jedi will be extremely rare. Would you master a possible 155 professions and attain highest rank in each faction for one? The game will be balanced if people know for the get go how ludicrously difficult the jedi path is. Most people will not walk this path, it is jsut too long. No way can I see a lot of jedi in this system. This system would even be difficult if they gave us holocrons for the first 3 professions then have to guess the 4th. I say no to holocrons all around but it ouwld still be really tough even if the devs lended a hand.
There is so much more depth that can be added to this game in the way of requiring pvp to attain certain ranks against other factions and what not. I feel when it is someone's possibilty to have a jedi on the line people are willing to do anything to try. /bow

sounds pretty fanboi. Too bad theres no SWG2 in development, and if there was, it wouldnt include forum ideas.

Nearly impossible to achieve jedi? No one will buy it. That's the problem.

I am jsut playing devil's advotate here. This is a good idea with far more possibilities than SWG: an empire divided could ever have.

I think people would buy it if they had the chance to be that uber. Consider how uber hungry jedi are now. When we see a sales video of 15 high level guys attacking a jedi and the jedi winning, that will flip the world upside down.
I say, when you achieve jedi in this system, there is no jedi grind really.A very small one to get acquianted with your new powers. The council will give you a lightsaber. No worries about making your own or pearls. Think about the grind a person just went through. wow they deserve it

I like your post Everitt. I believe between our collective minds we could make a great system. I personally like my idea because it forces oneself to be immersed in the war.

What really needs to be done is a 100% reprogram. I mean set up a server to test everything in detail. Not test center. I mean go over all of the code and languages in the programs. I know it will take a lot of time but so many things have been overlooked and accepted as a "common" occurrence.
Just look at all the typos in the game. If all those exist then you know the code has a lot of errors. Now with EQ: Star Wars Version, SWG 2,CU as it is called ,was released we have even more issues.

The programming that a game like this needs is a bit too intense and deep for humans to handle. I think it will only be with the invension of some sort of artificial intelligence that a game such as this can be problem free. I guess once that is around we could consider our MMORG's a bit like the matrix hehe.
