No



Did you know
SOE has changed this game 3 times
Jedi went from being an Icon to a normal profession
The combat system is being reduced to Enemy Territory online

I bought it not knowing about Jedi either. I think I played for about a month before seeing my first lightsaber...and I still remember the shock. Although I chose the path, it was never the reason I bought the game...I was happiest as a Rifleman/Pikeman

I bought this game to play as something other than a Jedi. Jedi are the most iconic people in Star Wars, but the Galactic Civil War, the idea of a galactic battle and be just a normal person living in that world was so much more intruiging. The only reason I started working on Jedi is because they never took that vision far enough. Now that they're starting to revamp Squad Leader, Ranger, Commando and the professions that really needed it, I have high hopes of there being a great GCW. With a fully functional GCW that ties the game together and gives a real Star Wars feel, being a Jedi would be less neccesary for me. I might have a Jedi to roleplay with, but I'd much rather play as a Commando/Ranger in a game where those professions had a real role in the GCW, and the GCW meant something in the game.

This is horrible! I return to find my new title on the forum is "Jedi". What's up with that? If they wanted to confer that I'm rare and learned, they'd make my title RANGER. and then make it camo colored.

Nope.

I started to play SWG only because its the only online game featuring jedi, Lightsabers and force power.

If they removed or destroyed jedi completely today im not sure what I would have done. I got friends in the game I would prefer not to leave. But at the same time, playing a game I dont like anymore is just wasting money...

Yup, bought it because friends were playing it. After I got done laughing at them playing EQ with Ewoks that is.

I never set out to get Jedi, didn't know you could be at first. I was however disillusioned that guns sucked so bad. I wanted to be a rifleman/ranger, but in the Pre-CU days that wasn't very effective so ended up as Swordsman/Doc. I even held off going Jedi after I unlocked until the CU appeared to nuke the Sword/Doc template (little did I know it would be uber months later), so Jedi seemed like a way to regain what I once had.

Funny, it seems like I'm back to those first days of CU again with a gimped template. Maybe it'll be strong again in time.

Im not happy with how things are.... but that is what we do indure .....


I will continue to be a comunity leader.... a helper... and a voice on the forums for those that can't wade throu the childish posts that happen here... I don't meen this post either... but you have all read what Im talking about ...all too many times...


Iam a sucker feeding teh Sony beast.... yes... do I willingly accept it as such... as long as there is people that need my help ... Ill feed the monster that hosts this game.


Hate me if you want.... but if your reading this now... you have a active account..so your feeding the beast as well..... look to your own reasons for playing...these are mine

Uhm? Is it just me, or was the game originally released without jedi? So it my thought, that many many people did buy the game without jedi...

I was under the impression, when I bought the game, that to obtain a Jedi it would be very hard and mysterious path (not just a simple time sink). And when one finally became a Jedi you would constantly be hunted by Vader and his death squads.


So yes I would have still bought this game because I didn't think many jedi would exsist or be out in the open.
