Thread: Seems like SOE is trying to weed out the casual Jedi player, in favor for those with no lives...

If you sell a product based on the ability to make Jedi and constantly introduce better ways to kill the Jedi, what's really going on?


It seems like to me that there were tons of Jedi who were getting there the fast and easy way and if they had to actually play the game to get Jedi, the way it was meant to be, then they may have just said screw it and stopped.


But since most Jedi got there with AFKing and spin groups, it makes sense to me that SOE wants to make it more and more difficult for the lazier of players and then you are left with only the players who really have nothing else to do except SWG.


Those are the ones that go after the tapes, the best pearls, the best of everything, they enjoy the headache.


Is this where all the nerfs are headed to? Weeding out the casual players? I mean why else advertise something that is completely miserable to play?

Enlighten me mr wow. Whats the ENTIRE point?

If the ENTIRE point is not being able to complete a thought and having to settle for a one sentence flame, then I think I'll miss that everytime hero.


Come up with something substantial next time.

man..funny guy. well. first off, jedi isnt really geared toward casual players. they made jedi like this on....PURPOSE! (aka NOT easy to get) Who told you jedi was supposed to be gotten by someone in a week by someone who playes for 30mins a day two days a week?


Now isnt that a concept. They did it from the start. Day one.


There werent 'tons' of jedi till the cu and double xp. thats common knowledge.


Jedi dont 'afk' grind in groups. First off, they USED to afk grind on kash. Devs dropped sentinels and stopped that. Common knowledge.


Jedi dont 'afk' in spin groups either. Most spin groups are on Dant/piketts or Lok. Common knowledge.


Lazy are bounty hunters that whine they cant get into an afk jedis house to kill him. (lazy players) common knowledge


how is a jedi lazy? they put in alot of time to get there. bhs dont. common knowledge


any bh can get tapes and and high loot. BH NOT JEDI. common knowledge


Perfect and premium pearls are OUT of game. common knowledge


they can be gotten in like 10 mins. Who says its a headache?


Maybe you should go play Jedi knight academy if u want a quick jedi.


and where have you been all i said EVERYONE knows about.


I smell jebay.....

I cant figure your point out either lol. Your paragraphs has like 6 mini points that sorta fades into each other. Anyways....if I'm assuming what you're point is, then I would have to disagree.


I dont think SOE is weeding out the casual Jedi player. Im thinking they're weeding out the Jedi all together. They're plan to Advertise copious amounts of Jedi sorta backfired. Now you only have BH and Jedi.


Every other profession in between are simply those people who are trying to get the biggest bang for their buck (combat class speaking) or Jedi crossing over another profession to strengthen their current Jedi


Then you have the entertainers who are there to have fun, roleplay, or just hang out with friends ( <--- these used to be the people who were other professions back before the Jedi Boom...well...a good majority)


I think SOE is nerfing everything hoping that many people will leave and those that stay through the nerfs will make it.


Im sorry....I heard all these arguments from Jedi that SWG isnt the timeline and that people shouldnt say that. however....i still have my box and my instructional booklet and they still say SWG takes place immediately after Battle of Yavin.


Like I said..im thinking SOE is realizing they hurt the game more than help it. And they're trying to do something about it (the wrong way perhaps...who knows)

umm...my point was in my first sentence. It is NOT for the casual.


and i myself am packing for that boat to another online rpg. my last stop in in the expansion., after that, if its terrible. i am out. theres no point as this game is not for jedi at all. now, i may return when the frs comes back. but until then, if the expansion sucks, im out.


this is scary because of sonys track record, i cant see how the expansion is going to be the best ever. and thats what its going to take. Lucas Arts needs to get someone else to work on this game. period

Also, i feel I need to put my two cents in with the Jedi and the casual player. Casual players MORE THAN EVER can become Jedi. The only thing you need is a 18 week commitment (not a grind but a monthly fee). Once you hit CL80 (which is the easiest thing ever...compared to any MMORPG. You can get to cl80 in 3 weeks casually speaking) you can max out ALL of your related xp in one good AOE group.



When I did it I have to master 17 professions and each profession took anywhere from 3 weeks to 2 months to do (ever grinded MAster Armorsmith, the Master Bio Engineer and then Master Bounty Hunter in a row because the Holocrons told you?? Not too fun.....


Todays' Jedi grind is like going to wal*mart to buy a frozen cheeseburger TV dinner try. Sure you have to drive over there, buy it, then nuke it. But Jedi grind back when I was doing that is like raising a cow...get the cow pregnant, raise the calf, kill the new cow, butcher it, prepare it, package it and then cook it. Just a *tad bit more involved.



I have to udderly (get it) disagree with you. Jedi is not hard core grind. Its one of the most casual professions Ive seen. And its apparent as more than half of the population is Jedi or FS.

Yeah lol sucks nothing like grinding for 7 months to get a full template, Jedi should just be a starting profession the damage has be done already. Now sadly I have to see the KnightRobecollecting dust in my bank.
