Thread: 5 Top questions for 5 answers
1) Will Powers be balanced with LS (Item that increases dmg, reduces speed and force cost)
2)Will Healer get balanced with other healer classes
3)Pearls <----- (Also if you bring back pearls then powers will be even more in need of a boost)
4)FRS, and GCW I lump these together because they are the end game of SWG, and they are still missing
5)Why do you keep pushing out new expansions while you really need to balance, and fix bugs. (btw "we can charge for the expansions" should not be the answer)
Top 5 things I would like to see fixed/changed
-Premiums pearls
-Lightsaber speed/lightsaber tapes
-Remove damage recution from fr3(Or a way to counter root/snare...)
-Remove all zip bars and cool downs from powers
-Force meditate to be as fast as channel with no reduction of health
-Change 0040 enhancer to something useful
So what it was 6 I couldn't think of just 5. 
/sarcasm off
My top 5 issues about my beloved profession
1)We NEED a new FRS to envolve past the rank of Padawan. Its frustating to be stuck so we need a perspective on this.
2)Clarification on saber Damage/speed. Is MLS/Healer ment to be weaker then MSword/Doc? Is it just because we are all Padawankers at the moment and if not: Why not give the people hope -so there is a reason to stick with their beloved Profession. Includes an ETA on speedbugfix
3)When Premium/Flawless pearls come back with ToOW will the tuning be back to normal as well?
4)Will there be any Jedi specific content in the new addon. As they said its gonna be accessable to all players of SWG which I appreaciate but since Obiwan was a Light Jedi Knight I hope there is something special for our profession?
5)Will the Masterskills for Healer/Lightsaber/Defender more attraktive for players with the next jedi revamp or will they just be useless as they are?

I tried this when I first started. I gathered a list of questions and requested answerd. Devs never replied. I will gladly do this again but instead of me gathering questions lets collect them here. Ill take them to the Devs and we can go from there. As the thread says, lets keep them simple and to the point everyone. Thanks.
Ok to the point and as simple as we can make them so the Devs understand.
1) with the uber weapons that are being dropped or reward items will we see better lightsabers/Pearls/Crystals to help us remain competative with thecombat professions. Ive been a Jedi since before the CU and my saber has a lower DPS than nearly anything I took off Kash and from what ive seen on the Beta those weapons are even better.
2) The new planet is an adventure planet, yet Jedi can be hunted on it. Now provided we arent getting db by one shot, whats to stop a BH following us and then DBing us just as we are about to complete the quest. So far I can see nothing and then what we have to do it all over again, get another group together, fight very very powerful critters then as we are low on health and force get hit DBed again. I know stay off the terms but most these quests will generate Vissibility so doing them will get you on the terms.
3) Will there be any quest just for Jedi, hate to say it by BH have their own quests and now we have a ghost of a jedi giving out quests to everyone. Is there going to be anything Jedi related at all in this. Or because everyone already thinks we get everything handed to us we going to get screwed again. Wouldnt be such a problem but BH marks drop crystals I mean we get visability getting crystals that we have tosearch all over fora BH gets a mission a wp and an easy kill and is rewarded with them. Anything seem wrong there?
4) Not ToOW related but when is that saber speed bug going to get fixed are the Devs know about it. The force us into PvP so yes it is game breaking and yet they do nothing about it. At least dissable vissibility while we are fighting with nerfed weapons.
5) Finally when are we going to get robes with armour for people that dont take defender in their template and a root for people that dont take that branch in enhancer. No offence to whoever designed Jedi but rather than having created a profession that warrants spending double the skill points every tree they created a profession that shows almost no creative thinking in its make up. take out the problem of muck chucking BH as they are unbeatable and just look at your standard riffle shooting BH to stand a chance against them you need certain skills and you cant get them from anywhere but one branch in one line. So unlike someone that mixes and matches their combat proffession and picks up all the skills they want we have to go down one very specific route. Not a problem you might say but it leads to carbon copy Jedi who all have the same skills, now fans of Doom will not see a problem with this but god knows that aint what the CU was all about and it aint what being a Jedi was all about.
Here are 5 questions that I would like answered.
1) How are melee characters (including Jedi) supposed to compete with ranged characters with the new snare changes? The changes will allow Ranged to permanently kite melee characters with no way for melee characters to counter.
2) What is the purpose of AI with the new changes? It seems that it is going to just be a way to get the rest of your team killed when you use it. Master Defender is no longer desirable.
3) Are Jedi getting new robes in the expansion? So far, the only new clothing for Jedi is a rehash of clothing already in the game.
4) When are Jedi going to get new colored crystals? The new lava crystal is nice and all, but its still red and we already have red out there. We need more named crystals.
5) Last and not least, when are premium pearls/crystals and the FRS coming back?
1) When will the devs look into and upgrade the Jedi skillsets to be compatible with the Combat Upgrade?
* Master made viable
* "Growing" power skillmod added to Enhancer/Healer (the more boxes, the stronger powers).
* Enhancers role & purpose redefined
* Healers receiving powers for dealing with Bounty Hunters
* Non-Defender Defenses ("855 melee defense or nothing" is not balance).
* Wielders damage output rebalanced.
* Issues as the removed "Force Run" for Master Enhancer's fixed.
* Dot's such as Bleed and Disease improved and anti-dot's made viable.
* State's such as Dizzy improved and anti-states made viable.
* CU-Style Experience for Healing others.
2) Are there any plans to make it easier for Jedi to stay "hidden" while still being allowed to play the game.
* Like removing visibility for NPC's.
3) Will SOE ever support Light side Jedi who wish to be rewarded forhelping instead of killing?
4) Pearls (You know the question).
5) Saber Speed (You know the question).
Top 5 issue
1. LS it the weakest weapon of all the Combat Profession. (honestly with the current Pearl and Crystal issue) I don't understand the Dev's think here. How are New Full template Jedi suppose to compete with First Strike BH with the weapons they currently have.
2. Fix the Crystal and Pearl issue
3. FRS (where is it) please make sure they add Dark and Light faction. (Jedi is nowhere near what it use to be and no way can a Jedi be Special Force to all Opposite Faction (Imperial vs Rebel) with it current state.) Love to see Master/Padawan Add here too...
4. Please fix our healing speed.
5. Make Master LS a box worth getting , Please add Stun/ Dizzy and Bleed to Master Special !
2.) When are premium pearls going to drop again?
3.) When is the FRS coming back? Give a rough date plz.
4.) When is loot in general going to be fix? I mean plz why do i have to rely on my sworn enemy to get attachments i need? At least let them loot premium pearls too to complete the dependency on them. lol
5.) What is the long term vision of the Jedi profession? Most of us see nerfs everyday we read teh forums? Most of us have had jedi for a long time and continue to see nerfs. Please tell us that sticking around has been worth it when so many of our good friends have given up hope.
Thx
These are listed in no particular order of importance.1. Please give a rough ETA on when a design will presented to the community regarding the Pearl drop or tuning fix. If the decision is that post-CU Jedi cannot have weapons on par with pre-CU Jedi and other professions, please offer an explanation why. (Note to trolls: this is NOT asking for Premium Pearls "for free" or without considerable effort. This is just asking whether or not they will be possible to obtain again).
2. Please give a rough ETA on when a design will be presented to the community regarding the Force Ranking System. If the decision is that the FRS will not be coming back, please offer an explanation why.
3. Many Jedi are going Master Powers because Premium Pearls aren't dropping anymore. If question #1 will not be resolved any time soon, please explain why Action costs are increasing for Powers in addition to retaining the zip bars.
4. The Jedi community, along with the non-Jedi melee professions, is puzzled by the burstrun/forcerun "permasnare" nerf coming with ToOW. While Thunderheart did post an explanation of the mechanics of the change, he did not offer any reasoning behind this nerf. Please re-visit this nerf or explain why it must stand.
5. The Jedi forums are beset daily with "Jedi population control" threads, BH trolling, and arguments regarding whether Jedi are overpowered vs. underpowered. Some subscribers are speculating you are trying to achieve "Jedi population control" via nerf-induced attrition. This is confusing in light of the prominence of Jedi in the current marketing of SWG. These discussions are happening due to the vacum of information concerning SOE/LA's intended design for Jedi in SWG. The developer posts on this subject from 2+ years ago are no longer relevant. What is the current intention for Jedi in SWG?
