I'm not sure how to start this thread without making it sound stupid, but i'll get straight to the point ~


okay so they're going to make jedi a bit easier to get judging from the fixes in publish 10. So more people will be walking around as jedis, that's fine ~ except.. why would those people want to play as their regular classes anymore unless they make money or items? Sure not everyone will have a jedi, but almost everyone will. If you have a fighter, why would you want to play with your teras kasi or pistoleer if a jedi could own both classes at once? might as well play with your jedi ya know? then people would say "oh well you don't wanna be busting out your lightsaber, the bounty hunters will kill you", sure some people will stay as BH's, but for the most part everyone else would rather play as jedis, so at any one point we could see a town filled with jedis running about, then what? will those BH's have the balls to attack any of them? probably not. So i'm thinking, if they're making it easier to open the force sensitive slot, why do we have to be jedi's forcefully to use the force? i'm not exactly thrilled to throw away my teras kasi profession, granted I DO want to have a jedi character just like everyone else, i still want my teras kasi to at least stand up to a jedi, otherwise it's a useless class. it really is, it's not like we're comparing architects here with a jedi, where as an architect is NOT useless. but it's like comparing weapons, obviously the fastest, strongest weapon will win.


My idea:


if we unloack force sensitivity, we should be allowed to either achieve a higher status of our class to Grand Master, or perhaps allow us to combine "the force" skill tree with teras kasi. I don't know exactly, just something that'll put us on par with a jedi if we are force sensitive. If we can't use some force skills as a regular class, then at least make each profession have ONE upper hand in something. For example: the teras kasi masters, I read somewhere in this forum, a long time ago that the only way they really could go up against a jedi, is their ability to withdraw the force away from a Jedi, making their force techniques useless, i'm not sure if this is a radius effect, or an ability that they can use every now and then, however I think that I kinda prove a point here.. if jedis are so much more powerful now, they're not perma death, and they're easier to attain, it's gonna present problems for new players since they won't really have anyone to teach their skills or learn new skills from, everyone is going to want to be a jedi. I don't mind Jedi's not being perma death, in fact I like it. but it changes things greatly, immensly. Had that been the case still, we would all would've loved to have our main characters still, and our jedi's as our alts. Because we wouldn't want to risk him all the time, yet now there is no risk(that's fine), but you start comparing, and it's as simple as saying.. all other fighting professions are basically useless.


Just my two cents and some change...

I totally agree with you, if people start becomign jedis whos gonna be around to help put newbs or teach then their skills, its bad enough that they have to start on mos esiley. There will be no poitn to any regular profession not even entertainer with all the damn skill mods jedi are getting in the revamp nobody is gonna be regular, crafters are gonna be force senstive while everyone else who just started is gonna be scerwed, with holo grindign atleast it was doing a some what decent job of keeping the jedi population under control. I dotn wanna be jedi cause ill just be adding to the probelm even if i constantly get whipped in pvp.

LOL.. Jedi are extremely powerful!

I saw on TC2 5 Master BHs attacking a Jedi PADAWAN and he reflected 19 out of 20 shots... his hm did not go down.



And Jedi has just got some new awsome abillities! Now they can recover themselfs from Death blow! If they get Death blow then they can get up using a special skill that will put their force regen down for half an hour... LMAO... whats the point then?


Hahaha... Just thinkabout a knight with robe.... They can solo hole coronet alone!!!


1) It's retarded unbalanced


2)It sucks that they have delayed combat balance and GCW revamp until september/october because jedi whiners needed fixing first


3)its not starwarsy, which was the reason many of us even still stick around


4)its overpowered, and there will be too many



Jedi is like a super Brawler! They got insane 1 handed sabers, two handed sabers and polearm sabers aswell as meditate.. they got it all and they will pwn all! We might as well stop PVPing... there is no reason anymore! theres no reason to live.. lets all of us who dont wanna be jedi, just commit suicide right now!! right here.... they devs hate us.........

Im sorry but I have heared people cry about Jedi being powerful and CM's being too powerful. Like all things Jedi is just another class just like a fencer or TKM the only reason so many people want to try it is for the novelty of becoming a Jedi just like in the movies, however when they have reached this level and have played Jedi for a few weeks they will come to realise that being a Jedi is no different from being a TKM or Fencer or any other class, the only difference is the specialist weapons and mind uses.


This phase will soon burn out, but im afraid that many of the player base will be left out if they do not wish to become Jedi.

having a jedi padawan on TC2 i can let u know that your comment on them soloing 5 BH is very incorrect. . the person u saw doing this may have had a lower tag on because when i duel a BH 1v1 its usually an even match

I've seen a padawan fall at the hands of a master swordsman, I felt good that day. But they won't stay that strong, the jedis that is, 5 bounty hunters is more than enough to kill any jedi. Any jedi. If they make jedis uber powerful still in the end, at least we know one thing -


In space, it doesn't mean a damn thing if you're a jedi or not. Jump to lightspeed, here we come.

I forgot where it is but there is a webpage that lists the "force sensative" skill trees.

This is for people that complete the quests they gain force sensative skills first , there is a combat and crafting force sensatice classes, they do just what you said add on to your existing classes without becomming a full jedi or even padi.


Oh yeah each skill in these trees is only 1 skill point.

Apparently it looks that way, but I have no idea how this would actually work in the game. And do they really cost that little? it's a really strange character builder. All I know is that I would only have 18 points to spend besides master docter and master teras kasi.

I thought Teras Kasi were founded so that Lucas Arts could knock out a beat-em-up game, and the whole backstory stuff was added later to justify their continued existence.
