Yeah and sadly the smuggler revamp doesn't even seem to be on the immediate dev 'to-do list'...I bet we won't see it until after SPACE around january or february...

It's because BHs are content for Jedi (or vice versa, whatever). The fact that they are involved in any way with the Jedi gets them immediate attention. As we have absolutely nothing to do with Jedi, along with the other 91.176471% of the game's professions (we don't smuggle them, and they didn't even want the new spice to affect their abilities, in fact complained about it greatly) we're still on hold.

Not to sound loathing, but this game is really starting to wear thin on my patience...especially now that everything has gone to hell with all the jedi running around...^^contemplates buying CoH^^...and that veteran's award is worthless until like december when the SPACE beta 2.0 goes live...(note: a funny)

I'm not a Jedi hater myself, in fact I'm anxiously waiting for Pub10 so I can work on getting one myself. Of course, I'll be RPing a Jedi of the time period, meaning not "showing off", just using the Jedi abilities when needed.
Also, it seems the Devs have tried to put in some in-game dialogue dealing with the surge of visible Jedi. I conversed with a Rebel NPC the other day, who had a selection to talk about Darth Vader. I selected it and he went on about how Vader is a Jedi. I asked, "Jedi?" and he proceeded to tell me how Jedi weren't just legends, and that they still exist, "even on our side."

That's totally respectable. If I had a Jedi (which I never will unless it falls outta the sky and hits me), that's how I would play it. If your in town,I'd put a disguise on and take off the tag. Equip a crappy gun or no weapon. Hell, as a joke I'd hold a spraystick so peeps thought it would be a lightsaber at first, then I can claim I'm no Jedi and it's just a spraystick.

What are we? Chopped liver? (just play'n). As I recall Boba Fett was not hunting a Jedi. Boba was hunting a low life smuggler named Han Solo. Because if what Doc says is one of the main forces' behind the BH getting love and the smugglers getting the revamp pushed back, I would be severely upset.

Correct me if I'm wrong...but I thought TK were the Jedi killers??? If that is the case, it actually doesn't make sense for BH to be the "Jedi hunters." Not that they couldn't do it, or anything. I do remember that Boba Fett and Kyle did go toe-to-toe, so to speak, but Boba wasn't actually after Kyle (in JK2)...if I remember correctly.

Boba wasn't even mentioned in JK2. In JK3 though your character (whatever the name was) deals with Boba during a mission, and after that mission Kyle mentions that he had a run in with Boba Fett and barely survived the encounter. Is that what you're thinking of?

I may be wrong, but it seemed the BH change came about because the BHs were compaining they weren't able to effectively fight Jedi, so they lightened the pre-req load to give them more SPs so they could get more fighting skills. Plus all the attention on getting the missions and droids working.
On top of that, they are finally puting some work into fixing the Combat Medic stuff everyone's been talking about for so long, and it seems that's come about because Jedi were complaining about getting killed too easily by CMs (which everyone else has been saying for some time).
Like I said, I may be wrong...

But I DOUBT it.
I followed the great CM debate for a long time. I WAS a CM for a while and never felt they needed to be nerfed (turns out I just sucked as a CM).
Anyway-
All kinds of people complained about how strong the CMs were. The whole time the Devs said "working as intended" and "Use Tactics" and I agreed with them. Then the Jedi complained about them over the course of a weekend and WHAM! Their nerf will go live on Tuesday.
I understand because it HAS to be enjoyable to play a jedi but I truly hope they will give this much attention and immediate focus when it comes to the revamps AFTER pub. 10.
Once the "Summer of Jedi" (TM)is over I think they can sit quietly while the REST of the game gets pulled in line.

Now that is a decent hope. But something tells me that in some corporate office there is a whiteboard full of marketing scribbles showing how 6 months from now the world will be 99% Jedi running around which will push sales through the roof. And there is definately a group of devs/team leaders who walk out of meetings muttering under their breath how stupid and pompus the higher ups are. Oh well, you can't fight the mighty dollar.
But I tell you this. JTL will break this game more than a dozen Jedi revamps ever could. Not that the game will really be BROKEN, but anyone who is shuddering over the Jedi changes will belly-ache far worse when everyone is jumping on the space wagon. Screams will fill the boards about everyone owning spaceships not being canon. Oh no, you won't find that in the EU!
Lets all just take our Wellbutrin/Prozac cocktailand get back to the grind.
