Anyone who wants to put a positive spin on these changes should send me what they are smoking.
This is not Star Wars. This is not continuity. It has never been and will never be, despite all of our efforts to change that.
KOTOR will always be a better Jedi game than this ever will be. Battlefront will always be a better tactical one than this will ever be. And both are more about Star Wars than this game will ever be.
Why?
Sony.
From inception the game lacked so many elements of Star Wars it wasn't funny. And all the ludicrous professions that they put in didn't help.
Now it is down to 9, just like WoW. But it is down to nine for the wrong reasons. Not the right ones.
And when all the kids come in from console land, it will be even less Star Warsy.
If you intend to keep playing, you need to throw all of those notions out. It is precisely why I doubt I will continue my subscriptions and why I am playing WoW, a game which is true to its design concepts and will always be because Blizzard cares about ensuring that its game world is consisistent with titles it has built up over years. In stark contrast, Lucas Arts doesnt give a damn about its MMORPG license judging by the end result.

Actually it all depends on what timeline it is. I wish they would fix the timeline to post episode VI.

You are 110% correct on both counts. However on the first one, I doubt anyone, besides the true STAR WARS fans really care. It's like taking the LORD OF THE RINGS and making it so anyone can be a Dunadain, or an heir to the throne of Gondor (someone is making an online LOTR game btw) during the War of the Ring. All I can say is that I have lost all respect for these idiots that make the decisions concerning this game. They might get some back, should they reset the timeline to be between Eps II and III.

um so this game was supposed to be between esb and rotj right? im not saying it is now cause they kinda screwed the timeline but still im sure they didnt have 50000 jedi running around back then how will making everyone fs from the start help that? they should make it like 1 and 10 accounts is able to be jedi and if you dont like it cry more!

Could make it so any fs would have to train under a master for however long. So the devs are the masters deciding who they take on as pupils. Remember now only one student per master to keep with the more Star Wars feel.

No, the game is set between ANH and ESB, at the height of Imperial power.
And as for this "adherance" to the timeline, SOE shattered that as soon as the game was released. Complaining about the timeline in this game is akin to buying a flat tire from Sears: it just doesn't make sense.

I'll take the powerhammerwielders, since nothing says they're not supposed to be there. On the other hand, the Emperor has been wiping out Jedi for 20 years at the time of SWG.
