How bout free PVE jedi from PVP confines... let me be a knight and pve for force ranks
i hate pvp






this was put in response to jemmyM's post about "freeing" the pve jedi.


everyone is forced to pve, whether they want to or not. Quite frankly the holo grind and now jedi grind is makeing me sick 90% of pve in the game. You were never forced to be a jedi, thus no forced pvp.

It is a difficult and delicate balance that they've failed to achieve. Just as they're abusing and punishing those of us who like to solo with non-FS characters, they're current Jedi system, which was revamped and so should be better than before, is non-sensical. However, many people seem to think that the entire point of Galaxies is PVP, and that bugs me too. Again, a balance needs to be found, because the game is supposed to be about both PvE and PvP, as well as community, politics, and economy. IE: this is supposed to be like living in Star Wars. In a lot of ways, it is now, but soon won't be.

My hats off to you troubled Jedi, though. I didn't get very far into FS because of how the system is set up currently, I can't imagine what sort of problems exist at higher levels.

Sorry if it's been said before, too much to read at this time in the morning


EVERY profession has to level via PvE. To unlock your Jedi you had to play PvE.


Technically what your asking for is a new server where everybody has to pick a faction, be Special forces all the time, and get to gain (and suffer xp loss?) for the PvP but due to the exploiting and afk leveling that would happen in a system such as that it sadly would never be viable.


The only other alternitive would be to try and comprimise and you personally be SF all the time. Either way at Knight level you are not only PvP all the time, but also the only profession that can, and in fact does have to PvP to progress.

Let me check in my old memory banks and see if Obi-Wan kept his saber in his belt and tried to pacify Darth Vader............


No, as a matter of fact Obi-Wan says " You're only a master of evil Darth"


and proceeds to strike first !!


So there you have it, one of the greatest Light side Jedi forcing Darth Vader to pvp !








I'm not getting into a debate or PvE and PvP as both ahve valid points. I understand the original posters comments though...Jedi do have to PvE to grow in strength, in fact, all combat professions do. Is that the right way to do it? Well, I don't know, but it gets boring as hell after so long. I know I personally would prefer "quest based" leveling...and not the type that the village grants...as that's just camouflaged grinding for the most part. Both styles of play need something more than the grind at this point.


Anyway, I just had to quote that snippet from the post because it made laugh. Very good observation, and quite funny too


forcing Darth Vader to pvp.....lol

After making a rebuttal to the other point of view on Jedi I drew a conclusion that those people have their facts completely wrong and that this game is actually already catering to their playstyle for the majority of the Jedi "experience".


Here are the undisputable facts of why i say this and ask for a game system change to allow us players that enjoy pvp to be able to have a system that would allow us to gain Jedi experience within our chosen play style of pvp.


hey, what's sauce for the goose should be sauce for the gander, right ?




The surrent system is99.9% catering to the pve Jedi.


Fact; You can't level a Jedi off of pvp until you reach Jedi Knight.


You can only gain xp by pve as a Jedi until you reach Knight rank.


***Opinion**


I would guess 99.9% of the Jedi Knights have their skill set complete when the reach the final Knight trials.


Of course it makes sense as a Knight in full open pvp stands to lose more xp thus digging a hole so deep that the continuation of their skill set would be hindered.


Jedi is almost purely a pve catered gaming style !


Why as a person who enjoys playing my Jedi characters in a pvp playstyle be forced to pve to gain experience that way?


Why is the system so biased to those that enjoy the pve playstyle?


When I put my neck on the line against a Bounty Hunter or for my Faction or my Guild or my city or my planet why canI not gain experience for "my choice" of playstyle ?


Why shouldI be forced into a playstyle that other prefer to build the skills of my Jedi ?


If a dev wants to come here and simply state that the data supports the fact that the majority of the subscribers want it that way well then I'll take that as an answer.


But if there is no real legitimate reason for it then why can we pvp luvin Jedi get a system that allows us to play our jedi "our" way too ?








I LOVE this post, absolutely brilliant questions SOE should address, but they wont cause they dont care about us.

The problem with the title of this post is this:


You have to PvE grind for a while or you can't PvP effectively.


You can't have one without the other. In the CURB, PvP is great now. But if you didn't get a full PvP template in before CURB, you can't PvE to get that PvP template anymore.


That's what's gonna kill the game and it has to be changed. Quickly.

The statement in red is so true the devs dont even have a clue that this is whats going to kill this game if they dont fix it.

Whandered by and saw this posting. I'm no Jedi but I agree that NO ONE should be forced to PvE. PvE is wasted time for me. I don't pay for playing against scripts. It's fun from time to time but as no one is forced to PvP it should go the same way for PvE or... we force everybody to PvP too. Just make it fair.

just my 2 cents on this conversation, but alot of jedi brought this on themselves, i have seen 3 rebel jedi (not padis) gank a 3 of 4 day old player trying to work faction up i mean peope with no badges, a cdef, and newbie clothes. to be honest wheres the honour in that, it takes a big person to gank a newbie, yet alone going 3 on one with him. and everyone wonders why jedi are hated? lets think about this.not wanting to start a flame fest, but it was pretty unreal, now with the comabtant options things are different, but considering the new deathblow nerf, it is pretty much impossible for alot of us to kill a jedi, except by tripple incap. about 90 percent of my deaths in pvp are jedi related, ask anyone who killed me i dont grief about it, i have event joked and talked to enemy jedi in pvp.


just remimber jedi, with awesome power, comes awesome responsibility. i honestly think its pretty bad when from what i have seen the imp jedi are really the good guys, i know alot more friendly imp jedi than reb jedi. most reb jedi i have ever enocountered are really arrrogant snobs. think about the basis of your faction. and what it stands for.

How dare you all strive for greatness in this game and have fun being the best at it! I mean, how can you actually ENJOY being an excellent pvp jedi? or a bountyhunter at that?? You actually BEAT people in competition when you should let them win! Being the best is bad, its not good. being the best is greifing and its wrong...


You all probably even wanted to get the best grades in school even tho it took work huh? Selfish fools...you griefed the other students by blowing the bell curve you did! I cant stand you types!


In fact when you went to college..you got high grades by taking difficult classes and for what? so you can be uber 31337???? and think youre so smart?


I bet you want to make alot of money which is why you tried to go to the BEST colleges out there huh? I cant believe you. always wanting the best...always trying to do the hardest things in life so you can be elite! pfft..


You probably wanted to win at sports when you played too huh? why cant you ever enjoy loosing? its not so bad...grr you get on my nerves..dont you know when people loose in sports, it griefs the loosing team? or when someone gets into a bad college and another in a good one, it griefs them as well because they could not get to the best college.


Oh and dont tell me, you also got the best cars too huh? why? why do u have to have an elite car? so its more efficient than mine? faster, better looking and longer lasting? why can you just be happy with a lemon junk machine huh? always flashing your car around in front of everyone...


I want all you elite fools to stop being elite all the time and be more sensitive to those who are not!


This game is the same..there should never EVER be losers in a game. everyone should win all the time and everyone should be happy!



Heh...i support carebears (riiight)
