Yes, and I'm sure you believe that Iraq posed an "imminent" threat to the United States a year ago, too.

The developers have done nothing to earn crediblity; they've made promises and broken them at a rate that would cause most politicians to blush.

I think I'm probably middle ground, probably more mildly miffed than anything...

Having a developed quest system for a player once they have opened the Jedi slot is in my opinion more important than having an elaborate quest system for unlocking.

Easy. Take Everquest for example, chanter epic, Plate of Fear. Log in, check to see if spawn is up, if it isn't, guess what, zero progress for the day. In SWG, login, grind a few boxes closer to a mastery, that is progress that is not limited by having to search for a rare spawn that might only pop when people are at work, asleep, etc...

>For another what makes you think George has ANY clue how this game is played?

What makes you so sure the developers have any clue how this game is played :=)

>Also, sucks that you dropped BH so far into it and then had to master it as a holo prof. Man, I would've finished it b4 I went for master TK

Was a tough call, but keep in mind, at the time:
-No Vehicles
-No Investigation XP change

Conservative estimates at the time were 186 hours to finish Inv 3 and 4. I should finish the entire tree now in much less. It was a gamble that didn't pay off lol.

I've heard about the Epic quests in EQ. I get this vague feeling the new method will be MUCH harder then the current. Which is what the majority seem to ask for though- less Jedi in the game?

The irony I find is in the fact SOE gave everyone a holocron (or two!) over Xmas, and then within a month later changes the Jedi system. Just enough time that 75%+ of my friends are well onto their third or silent holocron profession. The fact so many holocrons appeared so quickly over XMas only indicated to me that SOE wants a LOT MORE Jedi on the servers.

Lucas arts new site for SWGis really nice too, btw. Everyone should visit it. The number of Jedi movies and references is very high.

I see hints that, yes, this game is aiming for a 'high end content' of Jedi Wars. I'm not really sure that's a bad thing though. The jury is still out.

Ren

You really think that George Lucas has a big hand in this game?

What bad press are you referring to?

If George Lucas even cared bout the game... he would've said no to Jedi as a profession for the OT... or atleast give them the rights to a Prequel timeline where a jedi profession would at least fit in...

I know just how you feel dood. It's like, I'm sitting in the movie theater watching Lord of the Rings and this fat guys sits in front of me and pulls a big bag of Doritoes out of his backpack and starts gnawing on them, crackling the bag the whole time. I mean, it's bad enough that I'm feezing my balls off way up in the nosebleeds seats because I didn't get in line the week before like those other dorks, now I gotta watch the show half reflected off the fat guy's balding head?

Lemme tellya, that Tolkien dood got one very STRONGLY worded letter from me too!

POWER TO THE PEOPLE!

I feel for you, buddy - I really do. Now please go and get a life - George Lucas has a lot more important things to worry about, and so should you!
