Right now the game is about grinding and more grinding to get Jedi, if Jedi is available to get from the start more people will play the game instead of killing 90,000 bols/pikets...thats not fun. Yes veteran Jedi's are getting the shaft but with vet rewards this will soften the blow.


I hope that Force Sensitive means that the can be a lvl 80 but only Padawans till a series of quest/adventures are done. Hence Master and apprentice. All existing Jedi's could be Knights.


Since CU hardly any PvP at all at least on my server.


Some peps say this has not even been put in concept but from what I have read i think it's been in the works for prob close to a year.


For all yelling Law give it up, this is a game and if this change did not go throught it would be dead in no time.

The game could have been fixed just as pre CU could have been fixed, instead they would rather flush the game down the toilet along with everything som many people put time and effort building. How can anyone every play another game like this when the people running it have no respect or concerns for what you have built in game. I hope somehow a lawyer finds a way to realy screw the parties involved in making this desision, I would pitch in money for that. I still want to try it out but just in concept I hate it already.

The Game was what you made of it, if you wanted to spend 40 hours a week grinding that was your choice if you wanted to do quests and hang with buds and make minumum exp for your troubles that was your choice, now there will be no choice, no stacking offensive skill sets, no hey lets grind for a bit 1 class 1 set of skills 1 way to get exp. Heck I may be wrong guess well see when this thing hits.

You know as a 2year vet of this game, I have been constantly amazed that the ONE Profession (JEDI) that IS STAR WARS has been time and again OVER AND OVER the majority of peoples wants that played and so hated by anyone that is not one. I mean come on the ONLY other profession's atm in the game that IS as star wars as Jedi is Smuggler & Pilot ! even the downsizing of the professions these 3 are still the only Star Wars profesions.... Boba Fett is a great character and besides the scene on Vader's SSD BH's were litle more than a supporting character at best in Episode's 5 & 6. If Boba Fett wasnt such a GREAT character to write about and read POST Episode 6, I DOUBT HIGHLY he would have been added to the prequel.

Point of order here: Jedi is NOT a starting profession, Force Sensitive is. You have to work through FS before you get to Jedi.

My information comes from Psycho, one of the testers of the new system. He posted thisin his answers thread on the new board.Jedi progression tree starts with Force Sensitive.You have to get to Jedi through the Force Sensitive ladder. A new character will be Force Sensitive and not Jedi.


I read Tiggs' post too. They are plastering Luke Skywalker everywhere and you DO get to Jedi directly by starting as Force Sensitive. But like Luke the farm boy, you start as Force Sensitive - not Jedi.

Va'ain is right, there are no Jedi, no padawans, no knights, no masters in the new system. If you have that title now that's the only way you will have that title in the new system. The class is force sensitive, you will end up being a CL 90 Force Sensitive, not a jedi padawan, not a Jedi knight, not a Jedi master, but a force sensitive.

Heck, It was fast becoming "JediWars" anyway. May as well give us (vets) something to show for it.

You are wrong Jedi should have never been a starting profession.The way to acheive Jedi should have been harder and shrouded in mystery so that there were not 10000 running around.You see back in the day before the whole holocroncraze people actually played the game and tryed to figure out how to get Jedi.I know I did .There were many speculations as to how to get it .the minute they let everyone know how to and gave away holocrons for Christmas was the day the mystery died.


PvP died because the servers are more laggy since the CU and in a nutshell is boring as hell and was all dependent on who has the better weapon or more people in their group.The PvP system is flawed and has been for a very long time.

So all that we as Jedi worked for is no more and all a lvl 80 has to do is respec to a full lvl FS which is something we worked our A**'s off to be,Besides call it what you want read the the 9 prof titles again it says in the description they are FS but they are called Jedi none the less. SOE was smart to hide this till after the expansions guess they are not as stupid as we all thought. CU1 released before ROTW adn they saw accounts canceled and Pre-orders drop,this time expansion then CU2. Ok they got there $30 from us so they will not see a drop in Pre-Orders but they will see a large dropin players after this I assure you.



Real target lock is needed
More Profs are needed
SOE and all the Nerf people need to realize that a true balance is an unbalance.

If you want, you can get your money back by filing a claim under bad business practice. It's worked for several players thus far - there's a few threads about it somewhere.


Anyhow - I'm kicking myself now. I was 1 Krayt Dragon away from Knight and my group was baout to go get it, when I said "No... when thay turn off the FRS all you knights will have to do the trials again so I'll just pause my progress here until the CU is live...". D'OH!
