Thread: advancment after master
The ranks are very limited in how many can be in each rank so it will be very rare to see them unless you get invovled, and I dont think a lot of people will be pissedas this question was asked to the panal of the highest devs and the roar and cheers of 1200 people was preety impressive. When pikemen are fixed great! but you will still have no where to go as a master pikemen. Those of us who have been pikemen for a long long time would love to advnace(like me i have been pikemen for exactly 10 months today starting on kauri then starsider then tempest).
It is a guild that allows people who love their class so much they are willling to give up everything like pvp with non ranked people, andeven their otherclassesto be ranked as one of the elite.
Yes, I fully understand what you're saying, and I'm in favor of advancement after master. However, I have felt since they announced it that the method of advancing the Jedi classes was an awful idea, and am completely against any such thing for the "normal" classes, as well. In essence, this idea promotes the 14 hour a day gamer, while telling those of us who want to advance but have jobs, families, school, or other responsibilities, to go take a flying leap.
If I'm wrong about the time investment, and competition with others, fine, but from what I read, the idea is flawed at best. I have no part in supporting it.
Just keep in mind that it doesn't punish you for not being a powergamer. It rewards people for committing to a proffession for a long time.
_____________________________ I just don't get why they're trying to force this into a mainly PvP game! You'd think in a universe as rich as Star Wars, they could come up with some CONTENT. Maybe they're favoring the PvP'ers because they can't think of any content to put in...if that's the case, I have less respect for the devs.
I used to want to be a jedi, before the heart of the system forced PvP or at least Politician-type gameplay. now I'm GLAD i didn't unlock.
What I'd rather see for Pikeman (and other "Normal" profs) is a set of super long quests that may one day UNLOCK a profession above Pikeman. Like what the original Jedi unlock SHOULD have been. Like you could do a 2-3 month long quest, and unlock the "Elite Pikeman" profession or something. I dont think it'll ever happen, but unlocking stuff besides Jedi would make the game better, in addition to interesting content. Seems to be feast-or-famine lately. Either the quests are to easy, or ridiculously impossible (DW Bunker & Corvette) unless you have 20 or so players helping you.

Im up for anything that will advance us past master pike and this will be a little more fair to those who cant play as often. Geez wish we thought of this at fan fest would have been nice to put it forward.
