Thread: Whats the point of a force bar?

So we have Action Costs, Mind costs, and force costs.(the HAMF bar)
Why even have a force bar at all?
Take away the Action and Mind costs like it was pre-cu or take away the force bar. Non-Jedi have 3 so we should have 2 or 3, not have to worry about HAMF.
Some things just make absolutly no sense to me.
The force bar is there to further gimp Jedi by making it run out then you become defenseless. If you think about it, it is a Handicap for Non-Jedi. When CU was coming out it was said that regular profs would get a type of bar like our force bar so they could not keep spamming specials....oh well..so much for that load of crap.
We have a short term and a long term inhibitor while normal professions only have a short term inhibitor.
If we were much stronger that scenario might make sense.
They can keep the Action and Mind costs but they should be redcued again, or greatly reduce the Force Costs of some action, or greatly increase the Force Regen capability.
Different solutions, would have to weight them all out to see which one has least impact on everything else.

It's not really a "load of crap", action and mind play that role now... Only Jedi have it all and the worst remain our force bar !

I run out of action and or mind much faster than force.
If we had no force bar, and they kept the action and mind costs nothing would change. Mind would still be my limiting factor in a long fight

Since I'm a Jedi I've never died because of an empty force pool... Except in friendly duels and then it was a relief this was over !

So far from what I have seen...take the right foods / drinkand a non-jedi elite can pretty much go un-effected. The Devs have so screwed this game up it is un-believable. The thing now is...can it ever be fixed or is this it for swg?

just imagine if everyone had cloak, and they'd never run outta force then, if we didnt have force bars its likely the more common bh/cm's wouldnt have a huge chance of beating us as we could spam aura and infusion till teh cows came home aslong as we have some food and buffs and could regen our action and mind without concern
