Anyway, glad you didn't take any personal offense to my rant, as none was intended.

Zejra,
Yes my friend, I've read your post. Again, my intent wasn't to single you out. I also am not saying that I disagree. IMO, any Pre-Pub 9 Jedi should get something over and beyond the "Elder" status. I just am becoming increasingly jaded with all of these Jedi who post their unlock time before their content like that is supposed to get them heard (read) more. The only exception to this would be (and somewhat demonstrated in YOUR post)IF the content of the post was somehow directly related to a Pre-Pub 9 Jedi, specifically and exclusively. However, if it is to be THAT exclusive, and reflect arguably less than 5% of the total Jedi population, perhaps it would be better heard if sent PM to our corr.

Anyway, glad you didn't take any personal offense to my rant, as none was intended.

It's not reallylike that, just wanted to explain, who is"Zejra" andI thought it was best to explain that at the begining.
Don't think my opinion is more valuble then any other just because I played longer then somebody else.
Just wanted to say my part and with that, explain who I am.

And why it was a bit more directly towards pre-cu is because i compared NGE with pre-cu,
and thatI would like to seesome of the stuff we had then in the new system,
so we at least can feel a bit diffrent from the new Jedi that are coming now.
Not asking that they make usway more powerful, just want to have something that shows that i played Jedi the old way.
I'm proud of my Dark Jedi Knight title, I worked hard for it, and i wish to keep it, it's as simple as that.
"Jedi Elder" title is something they give us, a title that does not mean anything to me, I did not work hard to to get that title.

And i never ment to offend any new Jedi or any other player, just expressing my thoughts.
I'm sorry if you did not like my post, It was not ment as whiningor crying,
I just wanted to tell my story.

Dearly departed Sony dosent care if all the current player base leaves at all, I see them hopeing that we all do so any possable new players wont have to read all the negitave posts.

IF they cared they would have told us in advance about the changes and gotten our imput, but they took us for 45 dollers this pay cycle and did what ever they wanted.

As a Veteran SWG player and Pre-CU Jedi, and pre publish9 Jedi.
My feeling about the new and enhanced SWGare mixed.

I never liked the CU, i hated it.
Slow paced buggy combatand the 1000 nerfs.
Not be able to play the game for more then 5 minutes without a MBH/MCM showing up.

Then kill the BH, just to have another BH showing up.
Did not become Jedi to fight one or moreBounty Hunters every single time i go outside my house.

I was a big fan of pre-cu.
And to be honest the new fast paced NGE system feels more like the old SWG that i loved then what the CU did.

Yeah it needs some more work, fixing the bugs, and please change that awfull loot system.
And the lack of proffessions and skills is something i dislike too.

Atleast the combat system is better then the CU one, faster and more fun to play.

... AndI dislikethat everbody will be Jedi, yea yea, another vet whining.

I grinded one full template Jedi in the OLD system.

Took months and monthsof hard grinding.

(dont forget the months and months spent hologrinding)

And just to make an example i did grind another Jedi in the CU.

Took 12 days to get fulltemplate from the day my toon got padawan.

Now, everbody will be able to start as a Jedi.

And what do we vets get for grinding?
We get some crystals, robe, and elder buff and title?

Whats up with that?

At leastlet us useour beloved titles and robes we earned in the FRS orthe pre-pub 9 titles.

And the skills we have nowin our templates that now are only recived with the new holocrons?

Or is that to much to ask?

They change the game, at leastI think we should get back what we earned.
Titles and robes are not to much to ask, at leastwe will see a diffrence between the new Elder Jedi that recived their status with only

one single box in Jedi and the old Jedi that did fight in theFRSand faced perm-death.

I pick my "Dark Jedi Knight" Title over "Jedi Elder" any day.
Even if it will be just atitle,I think i earned the rightto use it.

/flame on

I wrote that before read about the conversion info onTC-Corbantis.
Well this wont change my mind thatI think NGE's combat system is better then what we have now.
But whenI readthat we once again need to grind and that we will lose the ability to use our fourth generation lightsaber
it makes me upset, not only is the tuning of our pearls useless, and our saber damage sucks, we lose our 4th gen saber.
And we have to grind once again.

If this conversion goes live, there is a big chance that SOE will lose a big part of their players.
And they already lost many players due to the NGE, why risk losing the ones that perhaps would stay if youdont rob them of everything they have.
Do SOE understand this?

Take away our armor,

take away our power,

take away our titles,

take away ourrobes,

take away our skills,

take away our pearls,

take away our lightsaber,

take away our experience,
And you give us a title, a crystal, a robe and you give us the biggest present of all, 100.000.000 more quenkers to kill to get full template again.

... Cause it's all 'bout the quenkers

It's all 'bout the quenkers
It's all 'bout the dum dum...
And I don't think it's funny
to grind quenkers forever
It's all 'bout the quenkers
It's all 'bout the dum dum...
and I thinkthe devsgot it all wrong anyway
Anyway

The devs find strange ways of showing
us how much they really care
when in fact
They don't seem to care at all
This pretty Star Wars world
is getting out of hand
So tell me how much are Jedisupposed to grind?

Cause it's all 'bout the quenkers...

as far as i know we will be able to use all the titles we've earned in our Jedi Career including PRE9 titles. As for the FRS robes, we can't use them. It will be funny to see all the post cu Jedi in opressor/arbiter robes who actually never took part in the FRS
