The hatred is because many feel the game caters to Jedi, jedi feel they are the biggest nerf'd profession, kinda a big circle of confusion.


Its true swg uses jedi as a big advertising plug. just look at the tutorial, I am a jedi but consider my main toon a ch, the funny thing is Jedi really are an average profession. once they were stronger but not today.


I think the catering to jedi's stopped about publish 10 lol. Yea they got alot of attention then but it was for the village and fs stuff too. It was also the time jedi changed for the worse. Anyways before Jedi evryone hated CH, yes it's true everything said about jedi was said about ch. There will always be one profession people focus they're anger on. Me I focus my anger where it belongs at soe lol.


Yes alot of people are leaving after pub 24, it has nothing to do with jedi, remember every jedi has an regular character. The publish 24 problems are more the fact of the game falling apart again with huge bugs and problems than any jedi specific problem. Other than the snares it's the way publishes are pushed live unfinished is what started the revolt. And half those people who were banned and in on the contraversial threads were non even fs lol. It wasn't just a jedi thing, Its just were the mutiny started.


Something simular happened at the ch foruum a year ago. Contrary to popular belief people do leave. Heck just look at all but a few servers, most are devoid of life. except in two cities your lucky to see anyone lol. What I see going on ingame reflects a large problem that has yet to be acknowledged and solved. The dam is leaking and the water is slowly running out without enough rain to replace it.

I would have to disagree. Now, while they may have poaid the blame on the CH back in the day, I am only reffering to current events. This latest evacuation was started by the jedi, at least in the Bloodfin server. We lost 10 jedi to this publish. Well, guess what I am glad. All it takes is a trip to the jedi forum to realize that the majority of posters are whinny snots who are more concerned about being "uber" and " elite" then playing the game. Now, lets be honest. We can chunk blame at SOE where blame is due, such as no smuggler revamp, the lies etc. However, this games has bugs and so does every other game out there including single player games as well as MMO games. Nature of the beast so to speak. HOWEVER, when it comes to game play I do lay the blame at the feet of the jedi. Their cries of "nerf" has lead to many uneccesary changes to the game, nerfing concussion shot comes to mind. Not to mention the fact that I have yet to see jedi be productive to game play yet. Despite not being able to smuggle we do have a role to play. We CAN slice, and we CAN sell faction and we CAN function in a group as part of the group. So far the best I have seen of jedi is standing in front of a starport waiting to pounce on the next "red dot" that comes out. Engaging in fruitless guild wars so they can brag in there respective galaxy forums. Now, we can argue pre-cu, post-cu etc all day long but as far as I am concerned the jedi are getting some of the attention they deserve.

Well all I can say Atomic is don't judge all by those you see at the starports. There are many like myself who never travel robed or ls equipped and spend more time helping people than we do taking care of are own stuff lol.


But I know I won't change your mind, I'm known to have a few emotional and unwavering opinions myself in the ch forums so no harm no foul lol.

Actually you can pretty much do this with any update to any MMO .... some population always gets pissed off and 'leaves' ... or at least threatens to.


Usually these people are either 1 - full of it and have no intention of quitting but want to whine, 2 - going to quit anyway and are just looking for an excuse, or 3 - morons.








After playing this game for over 2 years, I'd bet all my money on #3.

There was some changes they didn't care for. They have been crying, threatening Devs/Corrs/Mods SOE in general and crying their standard "THE END OF SWG IS NIGH" because they didn't what they want.


Honestly no one cares but them. 34 professions watching one act like a total baby and laughing in their face about it.

I know alot of peoples qualms stems fromt he NPC buffing, alot of bounty hunters cant solo NPC marks anymore, and it is rather disheartening that you can't even do your job.

Well, I am not saying all jedi are that way, I know a few that are decent people and good players. IT is that the majority are making you few look bad.

thank goodness. Don't you fret there is always ebay for your account. I am confused to the poons like this poster here who claim Jedi suck because they are no longer in god mode. When the developers made Jedi life easier, Group tef gone, pve xp loss gone, sabre tef gone, permadeath gone, removal of names on BH terminals, Kashykk planet all to themselvesfree from droids..etc etc. You actually thought your toon would stillstay at the same level of uberness?


another stat, there is 35k posts in the Jedi forums in which the vast majority of those arejedi, or grinding to become jedi. Thenext highest is BH with 7k post counts.It's gonna take a lot more to make Jedi "Disappear"

I must be honest , as Smugglers are an honest lot. ( You give us a weapon or armor you just paid millions of credits for and we give it back to you better than it was)


I have been lucky in my time on the Kauri server I have met some very mature and helpful Jedi. Always while sitting in a Med Center with alot of wounds. (LMAO those Nightsisters are alot tougher now than before the CU) Always a Jedi has come in and healed me. (Whether they are grinding out xp or not it makes no difference) and some of those times they have been Jedi of the opposite faction. To those Jedi I say cheers !!!! To the teenie boppers that are trolling in Theed Starport while living in your parents basement I say "Get a clue !!! You're making people puke when they here the word Jedi !!!"
