Why do these astromech stats feel like the second kick in the crotch, the first being the expansion news?


Now the "producers" can claim that "See? Not EVERYBODY is a Jedi!"


Anyone who takes a look at the Galactic Civil War will tell you differently.

the top 10 played professions are either jedi related or BH pickup profession related. Not that I am surprised but what ever happened to them being 'rare'.

did you also notice that they specifically searched for 'Light saber Mastery' ?

nothing else is master specific in its tile... meaning that the 4000 MC add-on to BH explains its ranking. Were they afraid to list any and all light saber in the ranks?




No, what is funny is that they broke all of the Jedi skill sets down instead of just listing it as Jedi, thus it deflates the numbers. And yes, the Saber Mastery is cute too.


But hey notice Wes, there are less of us than there are politicians, and I would bet a whole lot of those are novices for concussion shot.


I would really like to see them do an honest break down and have any account with Jedi skills not have their other professions counted, not allow their second character to skew the results.

there are a lot of BH/smugglers out there for the Mezzes I suppose. No combat profession should find itself less popular that force crafting and droid engineer. *cough*Squad Leader*cough*

With a Jedi-centric expansion released and these astromech stats given as ammo for people claiming that the focus on Jedi isn't a problem, I am of the sound opinion that non-Jedi players who feel like I do are not welcome in this game.


I can think of no better way of putting it.

i would be interested in seeing the stats minus all 2nd char slots.


and why is FS all split up, silly, add up the trees and it would lean toward FS being hte dominant skill tree

Remember that you can be at master in two professions so a pistoleer and smuggler combo get a tic in each area.

the same reason why they let the 4000CM add-on throw off the astromech stats for CM, it makes it look better. If they only included stats of mastered professions and lumped FS in one area it would look considerably different. You would probably see the top 10 look like

Pistoleer
Swordsman
Light Saber Mastery
Force Enhancer
Force Defender
Carbineer
Teras Kasi
Rifleman
Bounty Hunter
Force Sensative

If they eliminated the second character stats for Jedi players, these numbers would look scarily different.

Well (after the list was edited i guess)looking at the" popularity" clicky thing......it seems to represent the game: an infestation of Jedi, followed by all the professions that get in the way of Jedi.



I guess the good of the many FAR outweighs the good of the few in SWG.

All of these are higher than Jedi. 11 full professions above the first Jedi one. Why do they get so much attention, then. Smugglers, merchants, and creature handlers need some love. They supposedly outnumber Jedi..... These are just masteries, though.... lots of Jedi dabble, I guess. But, still.... I want numbers! I want to see novice professions!
