You vets have had your sabers with your premium/flawless pearls for months now. That was your reward. You got to pwn all the post-cu jedi with impunity.

The game is on now. Brace yourself.






look, where did u get the cry thing... i'm ok with any challenge.
however, if you are against any reward for loyalty say it.
i thought rewarding loyalty is a good thing, i bet you do that to your dog every single day and meanwhile you're opposing to it here.
if they want to reward loyalty, all i'm asking is to do it right.
if you bought the game after CU, got some 2x and 4x xp weeks, respecs and bugged village conversion i bet you unlocked till now.

but it's not the same thing like paying $800+ to soe to keep it going. most of us vets did this. so you can buy the game in 2005.

understand this, for me this NGE thing has a lower value than it has for a post CU jedi. this is why they have to give me incentives.

i hope i was clear.

veteran jedi = any character who unlocked jedi before NGE hits live

what kind of joke is this...
most of them they don't even know if force shield is better than force feedback
there should be a most refined definition or the incentives should be refined...

i can accept new kiddies getting jedi in the start-up screen but **edit** how can someone who unlocked pre-9 can get same incetives with a 4x xp n00b grinder.
at least make 3 levels, pre-9, pre-CU, pre-NGE.
heck even those who unlocked pre-CU are pissed.

**edit**, how can you mix us in such disrespectful manner?
we are not equals now and since you nerf our gear and our templates... you're forcing us to be equals.

better go back and rethink your incentive system, you're not getting our bussiness with this.





I agree.


Veteran should be defined by time spent or earned not on title achieved.


1 year vet is not = to 2 year vet at all.


6 month vet is not = to 1 year vet at all.


give back to the community that has given so much for so long.

im with u Artimities, i started playin this game during beta, i started my jedi grind when we figured how to, now i cant play as much as everyone else but i play as much as i can when i can, and its been active since beta, i finally unlocked 2 days after the CU and continued my grind till i was full temp, i feel i deserve the same also, if i could of i would of grinded jedi the old way but they changed it so i had to do it the new way. notour fault


personally i think this game was at its best before the hologrind started, man it was a good game then, i remember runnin to wayfar on tat cause there were no speeders or mounts in game yet hehe, sry just a flash back

What all the people that keep complaining and calling for petitions to stop this dont understand is, SoE could care less about what you think. This is a BUSINESS decision on their part. They have weighed the risk of losing SOME vet players to the gain they will from all the new players once they announce publicly to the masses that anyone can play Jedi. That was a big part of the marketing for Battlefront 2 "Now play as a Jedi!". All the Star Wars fans will flock to check it out and SoE's profits will soar. If your gonna quit, then quit. Continually starting up whine post after whine post will do nothing but make you even more angry at the fact that you spent 17 hours a day pressing Spin Attack to get an "Uber l33t J3d1" as fast as possible and some people had fun and did it over the course of years.

Yup. And guess why? It's because of the elitist attitude that most pre-9 Jedi have. Now everyone can be a Jedi, and all the "noob-pwners" will have a nervous breakdown when they realize they cant beat up on people anymore, and then they'll quit. And the whole I unlocked before you argument will be meaningless. I can't say im happy about all the new changes, but one thing I cannot stand is when someone says they deserve more because of when and how they unlocked. We each play this game in the manner in which SOE presents it to us. I wish I could have done the hologrind instead of the Village, I would have gladly chosen that method if it the choice had be presented to me. But it wasn't - I had to follow the path that was laid out in front of me, and I shouldn't be punished for it.


A few weeks after November 15th, we will see who the true Jedi are. TBH, it probably won't be me. But I'm willing to bet that it won't be most of the pre-9 Jedi either. Everything will change, and some people will be better than they would have been, while many who were at the top will fall far. Oh well. I'll play the game until I stop having fun, and then I'll quit and find another game. Maybe its for the best. I have a lot of RL things I've been putting off, and its about time I get to them.





17 months. Goodbye, SWG.
