Jedi Archive

So I was anti-Jedi forever until one day I did the deed and made one up - so to speak. I made it up though post CU. However, prior to CU I played my FS’ed MCabineer/BH/SL to never ending lengths. What I did notice though no matter the uber carbine I was shooting, Jedi didn't go down for anything. In fact, some of the E-Bay Jedi on my server were notorious for standing there, getting beat on by 2 or 3 melee, shot at by another 3 or 4 ranged, and not going down. Nutz in my mind but what did I care at the time, I didn’t have a Jedi nor really wanted one. Well, now I got one in post CU. And now I see BH’ers not necessarily owning the game, but pretty much. I guess that’s how SWG/SOE keeps the Jedi population down which I kind of agree with since they’re supposed to be a lost group. Hologrinding almost seemed more effective at doing that then badge collecting though. After having played since launch and only doing about 6 professions, I badge hunted and in 2 weeks I was glowing. That was badge hunting by playing about an hour a day 5 dyas a week too. I grinded the rest over a few months with help and now the Jedi is finished template. Yes, I would have to think to myself and figure hologrinding was a better way of keeping the Jedi numbers low then BH’ers. Which really the BH’ers come after you already opened the Jedi slot but just your XP gets thrown off so the actual Jedi pop. isn’t affected.

My point is: In my humble opinion only – It seems a lot of Jedi are screaming for pre-CU because that’s when they ruled the galaxy(ies). Now that a one on one fight can be potentially disastrous, Jedi aren’t too fond of it. Me personally – I suck at PvP with my Jedi and don’t know if I’ll ever get good at it. Not that I really care because I reached my goal that I made when I stated playing 2 Jul 03, I got my Jedi! But pre-CU ain’t ever coming back. I think (and only think because there’s no way I’d even attempt to read those crazy DEV’s minds) they’ll just improve the process already going on rather then reverting to something else.

In any case – thanks for the rant ….about the rants….
