Thread: I have the PERFECT solution for JEDI content... honest

OK lets pretend....

C'mon you can do it..... you play video games don't you? So it isnt a far leap....

Let's pretend there IS still a Jedi council ( an honestly people... why does SOE still tell us we in the time between ep 4-5?)


Let's pretend in this alternate universe that the JEDI council survived and managed to save a great many Jedi from Order 66 (cause where they hell did we all come from if not , eh?)


And lets say that, like Bounty Hunters, who lately get Every bit of any decent loot in the game... and most of the JEDI CA's... (go figure) Let's say the council is a source of Jedi missions to mediate this or capture this criminal.. or Bounty Hunter... Or investigate strange events on (insert Planet here). Giving us a chance to loot OUR OWN CA"S, crystals/ pearls.. or even 'prestige' to buy tempory jedi abilities for 1-2 uses.


Why not? Why NOT have profession specifice mission terminals? WHY NOT make em JUST like BH terminals, but of course a different... theme. Smugglers could benefit... HELL entertainers have em too.. though who ever does ent. missions cause they SUCK! But the mechanics are already there... they'd just have to write the text. Set out a series of NPC's you'd have to make conact with to further your mission... whether it be combat or not ( non combat would of course require problem solving to the Nth degree, and none of this predictable walkthru-able crap)


What I'm getting at is THIS could solve the whole Pearl/crystal problem AND bring CA's for jedi into a much more affordable range. Because knowing you CAn go loot em like the BH's would likely prevent you from spending 37m on a +15 CA, eh?


Of course many if not all of these missions would generate visibility, thus increasing the risk to the Jedi. But jedi would be a 'playable character' again... not just something you dust off for PVP or heavy dungeons. It would tie us up online too, SOE, giving us something to do aside from twidle our thumbs hoping a BH will show up soon.


The pearl/crystal ,UBAR loot wouldnt have to drop any more frequently than it does for BH's. But just knowing it CAn drop would be enough to get us started and keep us interested. Make em hard... make em DAMN hard! ( but unless they make the boss BH missions like BH/Jedi tef, where neither can be healed outside...) give us the same options. ( cause i know many BH's who drag a healer along to heal while they fight the NPC bounty marks... the healer cant attack.. but the BH has little to worry about in the Healing dept.)


So, you see? MAny problems solved in one fell swoop. And this isnt just for JEDI. Give the same option to each of the RP professions. I can't really see a pistoleer mission terminal... but MOST of the smugglers, BH have some other combat profession as well, so you still encompass a huge majority of the players. No not crafters too, as they are their own income.


But i personally dont see why this is so difficult. SOE should have stopped pretending we were in a post Old republic timeline a long time ago... and this would solve so many problems for so many players, from content to credits.


ok... flame on.

Personally, I am getting tired of reading revamps/proposals.....we should be concentrating on a modified saber speed fix, or some exploit, bug, balance,not devulge onto something that will probably not even hit the noses of developers....

Right but i'm having issues w/ everyone's view of what "a jedi is" lately....everyone and their own interpretation from their extremely skewed POV....


Not trying to be mean to the OP, but honestly, how many ideas intoxicate this forum a day?

Anyone conceited enough to call their own idea "perfect" automatically loses.


You basically want take fundamental concepts from another class and apply it to your own. Why have different professions at all? Maybe artisan should be able to make items that slice weapons and armor like smugglers. Hey droid engineers should be able to use their droids like creature handlers do.


You asked why this is hard toplace into the game. It isnt, it's just stupid. Like everyone else said, too many bugs and other concerns in the game currently to worry about.


If you want to loot things like BH's, use that extra account you got from unlocking Jedi and make a BH.

awww now i'm even more disappointed. those flames are kinda weak.


Look, i KNOW, that Jedi needs to get alot of stuff fixed. Everyone does. But how long do you really think your gonna have to wait for the speed fix? eh?


My issue is and always has been content. we have always had to make our OWN content. a series of jedi missions would present a solution to the issue of pearls and crystals. SEA's and just plain something to do. IS Jedi not at least as important and strong as a BH? So why do ONLY BH missions drop any loot worth having. Thats my point, guys. It's not they they SHOULDN't have it... its just that after months and months and months of grinding, Other elite professions should have some opportunity for the 'good' stuff as well.


BH missions are the only source of consistant, reliable CA's and credit worthy loot in the game. There really is no reason Jedi shouldn't have a similar setup... It falls in line with their general methodology and role in the galaxy. Star wars as you know it as been gone since Pub 9. There are as many or 10x as many BH's as Jedi so you can't really say much abouthow much we alreadsy get. We get our template......... and then what? Pikets forever? Missions, ( and i don't really care whether they include missions on Player BH's or not) for Jedi and even smuggler would give them something to do aside from PVP and playing tank for the group in dungeons.


I like the idea, and if you would open your eyes, you would too. The fact that ONE thing is broken... ( always has been) dosen't mean you cant fix or implement something else (so you can break 3 unrelated systems as well )



Besides, it's be fun... and you know it.

they cant fix jedi speed, jedi vs jedi fights would be over in about 6 seconds, and all depend on who got the first armor break to stick.
