Thread: Game Changing Enhancements (My Statement and Announcement Links)
Looks like another case of shhoting themselves in the foot again. I dont really care that FS will be a starting prof. I mean getting glowy is couple days worth of work anyway no big deal.
But changing the profs around like that doesnt make sense unless I am missing the point. Lot of work wasted for player. That in turn will make many players leave I think. The feeling of being screwed again. Why risk losing players when SOE is slowly getting them back. Just dont understand. Guess players dont matter.
"According to a post by Tiggs, unfinished padawan will get their "Elder" rewards. All it takes is one skill box in Jedi to be eligible. I'll let someone else find the post and make the clicky."
So now instead of 1,000 Padawans, we will have 1,500 Jedi Elders. Why not take everyone that is either a level 80, or previously held the rank of Jedi Knight or higher, and make those people jedi elders? I'm not happy about this change one bit.

I. Introducing 9 New Iconic Professions – Live the Saga!
Each profession is based on several of the most popular Star Wars characters, giving players the opportunity to follow in the footsteps of their favorite Star Wars heroes… or villains. Developing a character in the chosen profession is still based on story-driven adventuring, questing, and acquiring new skills.
Jedi are Force Sensitive beings that can use their Force powers to over-come and control their enemies and can master the art of fighting with a lightsaber. Force Sensitive individuals feel a connection to the energy that surrounds all living things and binds the galaxy together.
General Skills:
• Lightsaber Combat
• Force Powers
• Meditation
Special:
• Block Blaster Bolts – Block Blaster bolts using a Force powered lightsaber.
• Force Lightning – Call down the Force power of lightning to weaken your opponent's strength during battle.
FAQ: (Jedi Related)
Can anyone become a Jedi?
Yes, anyone can follow the path of the Jedi but like all professions mastery will require time and experience. The new Jedi profession will be equal in combat effectiveness with the other professions. It will still however deliver on the promise of the Star Wars Jedi mystique and will allow players to “live” as Jedi in the world of Star Wars Galaxies.
What's happening to my Jedi character?
Jedi will be able to choose any of the nine iconic new professions, including the Jedi profession. Regardless of a veteran Jedi's (existing active Jedi characters prior to the introduction of the game enhancements) re-spec choice the character will gain items and abilities that will represent the original accomplishments achieved by that character. These include specifically, the ability to take on the transparent Blue form of an ascended Jedi, a special Robe that is endowed with protective properties, and an exclusive new lightsaber with a unique color that deals more damage. All of these new items are being given to existing Jedi characters in recognition for their past achievements.
Will crystals and pearls still be used in lightsabers?
Yes, you will still be able to use crystals and pearls to upgrade lightsabers.
Will I still have to go to the Force Sensitive Village to be Force Sensitive?
No. Being a Jedi character will no longer require you to complete the Force Sensitive Village series of quests. There will be quests and adventures created specifically for the Jedi path that you will need to pursue in order to progress on the Jedi path.
Do you still plan to have a Force Ranking System?
Not at this time.
not happy about the changes coming up or the reasoning given. xp systems changing coz it too complex? anyone else equate simple with boring? if going up in lvl and getting new skills is just a question automaticallyrecieving them when you haveenough xp then what differentiates any character of the same profession except level?
the best thing about this game for me is the variety of players and characters. are the new proffession skills tree based or simple linier progression?
anyone wanna guess why so many people left matrix online? because the character systems simple and you just grind xp for the next level. nothing to keep you interested.
also fealing kinda screwwed about all the time and effort spent doing FS skills.wont be able to unlock all the trees in time so players like me will never get their alts. is there another way of unlocking a new toon for the same server? or do you now just have to buy another account?
last thing. if i wanted to play an fsp id still be playing jedi acadamy.
Unfortunately I know some Jedi that will be unhappy about the bounty hunter thing but whatever I'll give it a try see what happens, might not stick around long though.
Also I read somewhere that they asked vetern players what they thought and the players said this is exactly what they ahve been looking for. ROFL Who are these veteren players? lol Oh well Guess this will be WOW, EQ and Starwargalaxies all rolled up into one.
