Funny, took me 1 year 3 months to unlock...and I have 3 ADK's. Considering it takes nearly 6 months to just unlock all the quests in the village, your half way there.

I'm done debating with you. I usually dont flame in threads or say anything negative, but man, talking to you is like talking to a wall. You are a grade A moron.
Not every Jedi has an ADK, and the FACT that the item happens to exist does NOT excuse the fact that without a specialty item sabers decay, not to mention the fact that crystals/pearls CANNOT be repaired, unlike every other weapon in this game.

But I forgot Crystals and pearls are **SO** hard to get in this game. I have 4 large house full want some.
if you hadn't noticed, nothing in the game drops premiums anymore. Nothing. NOTHING AT ALL. So to all the new jedi who werent precu, they are screwed.

You know, I hope they don't keep powers "Darkside". Even though RP /Storywise it is "considered" a darkside template, not everyone wants to wield a stupid glow stick...regardless what role they play in for the GCW. Powers should not be limited to only "Imperials / Darkside" jedi.

I TOTALLY disagree. In all the history of star wars and the jedi, force lightning, choke and several other "POWERS" have always been a dark side ability. If you want em, you should have to be dark side. It doesn't sit well to have a light (rebel) jedi have choke or throw or lightning, since these were supposed to draw from anger, not peace.
Come on Sith's, back me up here...

This is what I don't understand. Why is the only set of powers that could be used as a way for a Jedi to do damage\perform a role in combat without a saber be limited to the darkside? Are you saying that only dark side jedi should be able to have a viable combat template that does not use any saber? This doesn't seem fair.
First off, there's more roles to play than Damage Dealer.
It's not. This is the very reason why they made Powers available to every faction.

Without a full revamp I think the following would address many of the MPowers concerns:
1- They need to remove the zip lines .. this is a ranged/movement required profession that rarely has defense and uses terrain to their advantage. Increase the cooldowns to compensate.

Second, any Jedi regardless of which "side" you are can have a viable combat template that does not use any saber and pick up powers.
Third, Powers in SWG have always been "dark side" powers in... well.... everything SW related.
1. And yet it seems fair to suggest that only dark jedi can have non-saber powers that do damage? Again...this doesn't seem fair.
2. You are right, but I was responding to the Jedi Correspondant (our voice to the devs) who stated that the powers skill boxesshould be limited to darkside jedi.
3. No no no. SOME of the powers assigned to the powers skill set are considered dark side powers. Just because itscalled "Powers" and some of the abilities they threw in there (choke\lightning specifically) does not mean the whole thing should be limited to dark jedi. This makes no sense.
Why not keep the powers skill trees the way they are, but make the powers you get from a skill box dependant on whether you are a light or dark jedi?

Your refering to FRS .. lets not get into that debate until we know what will arrive. Focus on Powers as it relates to gameplay now ... MP vs MLS .. MP vs PVP .. MP vs PVE .. nothing else matters atm.

Corran Horn, infact his entire bloodline (most noteably his son) could not use Telekenesis, but he was a dab hand with his glowstick, just as good, if not better than Skywalker and Mara Jade
