Thread: Despite what elder jedi think, SOE isn't going to grief 95% of their playerbase to accomodate 5%.

First off, let me say that I have been here since day 1, so please don't come in herewith the holier than thou attitude and tell mewhat you're entitled to.


What I see in half of the topics on this board are older players saying tough luck everyone who isn't us, you'll never get anything, in an attempt to panic new players into leaving the game or not play a jedi or something (I'm not really sure what they're doing besides trolling.)


My question to all these "veteren jedi" (sorry, as someone who started online gaming with Gemstone III 15 years ago, veterans in a 2 year old game just seems silly) is this.


What is it you're hoping to accomplish by fighting the restoral of pearls? My best guess is that you guys don't like competition, and just want to be able to straight outdamage everyone else in the game by 200 points, as some kind of reward for being here since before the CU (which was 6 months ago, wow 6 month veterans how special)


And to the new jedis, and new players in general don't let the "vets" panic you. With enough Feedback on the subject, and it will take a LOT of feedback through all possible venues, as this is really the only way to reach gaming companies, crystals will be restored, and the players who deserve to excel will.

...you can get good tunes... you just have to tune ALOT more...


"elder jedi" as you put it had to grind ALOT more and ALONE, exp loss on clone and BH, TK/BH or pikeman/BH were ALOT harder than todays BHs...


so it seems like an even trade, go hunt krayts non stop for a month and i'm sure you'll get a 600+ dps saber...


Idid that anyways b4 the CU, and still got ALOT of crap tunes anyways.

I'd also like to add that it is my guess that SOE would rather like to see all the current jedi leave for the game's health.





I wouldn't be here if I weren't a strong supporter of 3869209th chances...

Because some of these new Jedi want everything handed to them. Let them invest the time and money into getting better pearls like we Pre-CU Jedi had to do.

I dont know who pissed in your cornflakes this morning, but yea the nerf on pearls is just more toilet politics and they will most likely let you loot more premium pearls ONLY if you buy their new release coming out soon. That is how they usualy get releases sold, nerf something then give it back to you or its equivilant if you buy their new worthless release.


And yes, older Jedi who only want the best pearls for themselves suck monkey nuts. Reset all pearls to good status and give everyone a fair chance or just let the new guys play the game like we did.


The only way to curb jedi is to remove it from the game, and the only way to make this game better is for everyone to quit it so SOE and Lucas will actually try to make the game better or hollywood will stop trying to be gamers. They suck at it.

first off the jedi pre cu had it tougher then this new lot of jedi do, secondly why do post CU jedi think everything should handed to them on a silver platter?


did post CU jedi hunt krayts for hours when they had 350k HAM ?


did post CU jedi recievexp loss from cloning and then there is theclone camping?


did post cu jedi have the luxury on BH's picking their specific mission whenever they were on the terminals?


did post cu jedigrind ALONE for fear of visibility?


did post cu jedi have to encounter BH gank squads back when BH tef was active?


I can go into more details, but explain why the post cu jedi expect things they dont work for? Hate to be an @ss but seriously its that kind of crap that aggravates me. NONE of those post cu jedi have had the dealings with the points i made above so they have no right to critisize the pre cu jedi or beg for free gimmies.


to the post cu jedi that keep it real, though, my hats off to you.

Don't tell me about grinding until you've grinded in a game where one level takes approximately 50 hours of playing, and a decent level is considered 50. The jedi grind was NEVER difficult in this game, in the time you grinded a full template jedi pre-cu, assuming you got killed by 25 bounty hunters, you're grinding one profession in FFXI to around level 55, congratulations, I grinded 4 to level 75.


YOU AREN'T ENTITLED TO BE UBER BECAUSE YOU PLAYED A FEW MONTHS LONGER THAN OTHERS. Make your own way, don't expect SOE to restrict everyone else just because you don't want to have competition.

Yea the game went to crap after the combat upgrade. It has been sinking ever since and I wouldnt be shocked if it went under within a year. If it doesnt change for the better there wont be anyone left to care, and who would dare go back to any game made by Lucas or SOE after this. I wont.

Unfotunetly you cannot stop us. In they're eyes they did the hard grind and got things the old way. WHich is entirley true, I am a pre-cu jedi and I got mls 2 days before cu hit. It was the worst experiance ever from going to apsalute power, to nothing but a guy with a glowystick.


Fair trade - you do the hard grind (which I did) you get the uber sabers. I never had the chance to tune a premium so my saber damamge is even close to uber...


In the end, no one truly wins.

I did the master bounty hunter grind pre-vehicles, pre-mounts on two different characters, and honestly that is a much more annoying grind than the entire jedi grind pre-CU.


It isn't in the eyes of SOE that you did more work, it's the fact that some idiot at sony didn't adjust the loot tables with the CU, and they ended up leaving it that way because they most likely just picked up on it in the past month or so, and that would be admitting that they are the most RETARDED group of programmers in the world.


The high end crystals/pearls will be back, and if you don't believe me let's bet on it.
