A fourth faction (1: Empire, 2 Rebellion, 3 Neutral)

should be a faction aimed at and for the criminal elements.


Smugglers, Bounty Hunters whos not in the "league", mercenaries. No Jedi. Not even the Jedi can claim that they saw jedi going criminals in the movies heeh.



It should be a faction "between" the factions, where your criminal status, dictates who your enemies are. Ofcourse, if the GCW keeps on the "uber or jedi" track it's on, I'm inclined to say that it should be a PvE faction only. With the exception of player bounties.


However, if the GCW gets fixed, balanced and jedi tossed out, I would say that criminals, should have 3 "PvP" levels. Depending on who they have worked for and aligned with in their faction.


Some just rob/steal/smuggle blindly, thus they are known criminals for both the rebel and Imperial faction.

Some, might rob, steal, assasinate and smuggle, doing favors for a faction, thus they become known as criminals to one side.



But a criminal faction, should be the faction, for people of near any profession, any specie, who don't want to live life on the side of the law. And the exclusion are jedi, and Imperial/Rebel Pilot.

Was the thread deleted? I was reading it, went to move on to the next page, then got this odd lithium error - tried to go back to it and now I can't find it at all.

I'm all for removing jedi from the GCW. Let them fight themsleves and be done with it.





But even Jedi don't like to fight Jedi.


Thats why they need us.


They can't take the challenge themselves of fighting evenly.

There is a reason I havent pvp'd in months. Being jedi fodder is not my idea of fun...heck I have watched jedi battles where the rifleman gets the jedi down and time for db and look a jedi force runs up and does it. WHat the heck is that about? If I was that rifleman I would shoot the jedi who did that. Contrary to what the devs think not all players want to be jedi..some of us want to be soldiers in a war that sadly now we cant really participate in.


Make jedi fight each other..I dont think they should be able to fight any regular players unless it is a bh that actually has their mission.

STAR WARS GALAXIES

It is a dark time in the Galaxy


With the fall of the Jedi counsel and 30 years of hiding some of the few remaining Jedi lost and burning with hatred for the Empire have turned to the old order of Sith. Light Jedi fearing these new Sith will gain enough power to truly ruleoverevery living creatureseek out and fight themin every corner of the galaxy. These brave few Jedihope to stop the birth of a new Sith orderbefore they too are as powerful as Darth Sideousand Darth Vader.


Meanwhile the Emperor in an effort to crush the Rebellion by cutting off it's supplies hashired Bounty Hunters throughtout the galaxy to shut down illegal shipping. Bounty Hunters know for their skills at tracking down a mark are receiving compensation for shooting smugglers out of the sky and "clearing" the space lanes for honest hard working Imperialsupply ships.


The Rebellion having control over a few planets in each system are being pushed back into hidding do in large part to the refocusing of troops by Lord Vader himself. Overseeing allCommanding Officersin all sectors Vader is seeing to it personally thatGalatic control remain in the hands of his master.










Jedi vs Sith, Smuggler vs Bounty Hunters, Rebel vs Imperial and all would be right in the galaxy.



It would be nice to see something like this post about the same time a Hoth expassion drops......WellI can dream cant I?

that would be AWESOME!!! if Vader, General Veers, Captain Piet, Admiral Ozzel, ect. would send orders to Imperial Guild leaders. telling them of certain Rebel plans. where and when to strike. each guild would get assigned different tasks each week, or every few days maybe...

the same could apply for the Rebel guilds!
Mon Mothma, Admiral Ackbar, Jan Dondonna, Leia, Rieekan, Crix Madine, ect. would send mission tasks to Rebel guild leaders each week, or every few days.

that, combined with HOTDOG's ideas of reasons to FIGHT for a cause, would REALLY kick the GCW up a notch!

The GCW needs some real attention. This would aleviate the immediate problem, but is it the best solution?


I don't think it is.





The best solution is to remove all Jedi from the game and set up a system whereby once Force Sensitive, a Jedi lottery system selects a limited number of players a server to have the opportunity to become Padawans to previously selected Masters. Have this ruled by a Permadeath system, against a backdrop of a vastly different, dynamic, pulsating Civil War, where there is a real incentive to join the fight. But that's a pipedream, and probably best left for me to daydream about as I while away countless hours 'working'.






This is something I could get behind. Permadeath removal was a big mistake.

Though for balance sake II do think if permadeath is extended to Jedi the normal professions should experience skill lose on death (after you make cl15 or 16).

It would have to be 5 clones (pve)or 15clones pvp(no timer) before permadeath and the xp requirements would have to be lowered to that of other professions to compensate.

Ack:


Then theres the age old argument about somoeone not wanting their Char that they "worked so hard on" to die.


I know other games do this - and SWG once did, but it was scrapped for a reason - the wrong reasons i believe - but that issue will come up again - I guarantee.
