Thread: To those that think the CU Jedi grind is to fast...

Yeah it took a friend of mine 3 weeks to grind from padawan to full template post CU. It was very sad but it's doable.
It took me about 4 weeks to do it, but I didn't play my 16+ hour days 7 days a week, I took a break every once in a while...... I unlocked on the last day of the double experience 2 year anniversary, and to top it all off right before I unlocked Jedi with Image Designer-ing the Luck row, I finished 3 tier 4 boxes and the master box in Pilot. I mention this only because I thought you should know I didn't have any days with double exps for my Jedi, and I also used a respec, which wouldn't have been possible without the CU.
Oh, and yes, if it wasn't for the CU I would still be a Teras Kasi Master Dancer. Because I didn't feel like grinding the boring grind to get my last row that I could have gotten before publish 11 came out, lol

and how in the world did u grind ur jedi to full temp in 1 month pre cu? lol 20hrs a day playing? =/
I grinded in both system. At certain poi like the Temple of blue leaf i was able to pull about 500-600k per buff. Over a million a day for 6 hours of play. You find places like this and do it for a month straight.

Some people truly have nothing better to do...but I have heard of this happening, so yeah, if you played for the vast majority of the day, non-stop, it could probably be done.
And lest we forget, throughout the history of the game, Jedi have had "broken" spawns to exploit at various points and times. Take the Geo Caves for example. If someone was milking thoseand playing 16+ hours a day, full template would have been very possible.
I still remember a post I read a while back though...the guy said he did a single mastery Jedi template in about two weeks. I do recall him saying that he and his friends did alternating shifts though...so like they could actually go to their real jobs and stuff. 3 people...each going for 8 hours...yeah, it's extreme, but I don't see why it couldn't be done.
Heard of a guy doing it in 24 hours, nothing but a full jedi spin group of his guildies.. I dunno if I believed that, but I know in one day I got half of my 4th jedi's templete done in an 10 hour spin group...
After that day, anything past 3 hours and I'd rather drive a screwdriver into my eye

I cant believe so many people are asking for more grinding. If anything we all should all be together asking for a more challenging and interesting way to level, not bi tching at each other about how long we did or didnt grind. Its an effing game not our job, Its suppsed to be fun and offer escapism not an extar 4 hours of work a day.
I'm not asking for grind just saying that if you had to grind the pre-9 or pre-cu amount of time to get full template then it wouldn't justifiy the "reward".
The grind is easier because Jedi is less powerful
I love the "I grinded in a week" stories.
I grinded out two Jedi...one long before CU and finished one right before CU.
The village forces you to invest three months. That is a lot longer an investment then the other professions...period.
The XP needed is massive...again, far more than the other professions.
The "grinded it in a day" people seem to be the same ones who want to nerf Jedi to oblivion because they hate the profession. I've come to think most of those stories come from people who gave up on the grind...having a Jedi as your avatar on the forums does not mean a thing. Others were master sploiters and AFK grinders.
Jedi was more time consuming before...now it is reasonable but still sucks a lot of time out of you. The Jedi are no less deserving of being an Alpha Class.

totally agree with you guys. on another thread, they guy said he did it in TWO WEEKS (12hrs a day)...im post cu and it took me about 2 months. but two weeks faaaaaawwk...i dont hate him at all, but thats just way too fast.
Yes, nerf spin groups or aoe attacks. put the spin attack at the 4 box, or just have dervish period. At the master box, that will slow xp for jedi tremendously.

well determination on getting the template done, i like finninshing what i start. No warren, no blacksuns, and no other static spawns or POI.
Well, dunno i did 12-16hour days or so, i mean i was with gf and mates aswell on the side of grinding. But, i dunno, i got really effective on gettin xp after i got mls then it was from 800k-1.1m(1.2) eatch buff session.
And yer, little sleep and limiting anwser on tells etc not to waste time+++ was really mad. An experience, that got to be saied, lol
