wanna move jedi out of SPs? get rid of the big city recruiters! on intrepid- overts stand around waiting for other overts in theed. move the imp recruiter out of the theed and say.. only to player cities- there go the overts to player citites.people whining about jedi being seen are beotches anyway. SO WHAT! you have one they have one- let them play their damn characters! the game isnt on a time line anymore- no matter what anyone says... so... quit yer bitchin!
- We do have a timeline. This game is set between epis 4 and 5.
- No problem at all with people "playing their damn characters". It would just be nice if they were incented to play them according to the timeline, where the remaining Jedi are in hiding.
Keep something in mind, here: there's a big difference between punishing someone for doing action A as opposed to rewarding them for doing action B. Personally, I'm a big believer in the latter, especially when it comes to MMOs. Right now, Jedi hang out in Theed and the Dant MO cause thats where other Jedi hang out, and thats where you find dueling and GCW gameplay. If all that happens is that saber TEFs and NPC gank squads get put in, the lure of dueling and GCW will still be there, and I don't think it'll do much to encourage folks from finding new places to hang out for PvP. If, however, some sort of incentives are given to congregating in other locations, then we may actually see some change, and everyone is happy. The Jedi looking for PvP get rewarded AND those hoping to cling to the timeline get the immersion into the NPC cities back. Everyone wins. The only group of people who get left out in the cold here are the guys who just want to show off to the whole world that they have a saber, and they are "teh ewbur leet". Honestly, do we really care much about supporting that desire?

Bring back battlefields and get all those pvp'ers out of the big cities. Removing battlefields was an ignorant call. We need places to go pvp and pve that arent in heavily traveled cities.

I've been playing since launch, and I unlocked my Jedi prepub9. I've seen loads of changes to my Jedi character, and I've seen the Jedi population explode since I got mine. And yes, the state of things nowadays makes me rather sad. But the last thing I ever would want is to start taking away Jedi characters from other players, or denying new players the chance to get one.
What I want, and what I think would greatly improve sentiments between Jedi and the rest of the population is for Jedi to STOP hanging around in heavily populated areas, flashing their abilities so everyone can see. I don't much care how its done (and this isn't a proposal for how to do it), but this is what I feel the number one issue should be for Jedi. Find a way to incent Jedi characters to congregate elsewhere and/or find a way to discourage Jedi from being public.
I dont think we should be limited everywhere... but how about this... STAY OUT OF EISLEY. I see overts and people around there all the time, and every last newb asks "How do i get jedi" I was grinding on dantooine... and a newb asked me "Can i be your padawan"... he wasnt even force sensative.

Bingo.
I said it before in this post, but still, QFE, man.
Me and several buddies at work all bought this game at launch, and I remember reading the box and talking with them about Battlefields and how much of a blast that would be. Days turned to weeks, weeks turned to months, and months turned to years, and that day 1 promised feature NEVER was working properly. And, by god, its an IMPORTANT feature to this timeline, and to the health of the game.

I think that with the changes to the bounty finding system, we will see those jedi who ask for vis will be hunted like the time line demands. This is the way I am hoping it will turn out anyway 
. Am I anti jedi? NO. Do I wish for realism/immersion in game? yes.

I only read the first post then make my opinion post. It keeps me centered on the topic. Then i go back and read the rest. Not trying to take props from you, but ive wanted battlefields back a long time lol. Now to read the rest lol.

And the thing that kills me is that there is room for both, and SOE's attempts to get this game "working" is like a monkey trying to secks a football.

Ah i miss Anchorhead, times were much more simple back then. I hope the next expansion bring a pvp/pve planet with incentives to go there more than Cnet, Theed, Bestine, and other highly traveled areas. I do admit i have done some pvp with my jedi in Theed. But that was only place any action was taking place at the time.
I think they need to add a Imperial/Rebel chat channel so all people on same faction can chat and set up base attacks, ask for help, plan stuff to do with fellow faction members.
I cant think of any reason for pvp to go elsewhere at the time, there is no reason to go past these main cities. Most player cities are in shambles, caves and dungeons are camped, andit gets boring running missions every few days for 2 years. This is also one reason i havent done more than a few ROTW quests since i got it via DD. So these boring days i have something to do.
GCW needs a make over job, it really needs some attention.This isnt Star Wars, there is no GCW, and there is no meaning to it. Its one purple dot shooting at a blue dot.
Time to make this game STAR WARS.
Rebels walking out in day light, showing off. This never happened in SW's.
Jedi out showing off and controling the pvp battles. This surely never happened in SW's.
Smugglers smuggled, they didnt just sell faction and do a slice once in awhile.
So much more can be added here.
DEV's need to stop giving attention to these cry baby professions and do whats good for the entire game.
