Jedi Numbers

["thA dekMan"]

I think i recall them saying that they will try and stay true to the movies with the number of jedi in the game, but what movies are they refering too?

 

 

ep1 and ep2 where there are a few hundred, or after the purge when there is like 2 .

[Thew Rydur]

Well first of all in Episode 1 there were about 10,000 Jedi. In Ep. 2 there were a little less than that. There were around at the time of the classic trilogy, although they were all in hiding.

[Longjocks]

I hope the game attracts the true role-players and not so much of the "power hungry" element. You know those guys in pen & paper games who must build an invincible warrior to destroy everything he comes across with his bare hands rather than actually play an interesting role and get immersed in the universe.

 

If it were only "true" role-players involved you could quarantee a Force-sensitive character being played in a true-to-the-movies way whereas he would keep his powers a secret.

[Ewok Hunter]

think they said anywhere from like 5% to maybe even 20% to become force sensitive, after becoming sensitive you supposedly train and learn how to be a jedi from there:confused: not a lot is known about the jedi proccess right now

 

hm, that may be what the Vader bot thing would be usefull for, showing upstart jedi their place...

[Sckitzo]

All i know if I becmoe for senstive Im not telling anybody, well besides those i have to, if thats any. But all htose that do become sensitve i doubt will have the devotion to finsih it out and continue with it? very little.

[Ewok Hunter]

exacltySckitzo , that's why there wont be that many jedi because they won't go all the way through with it:chears:

[SpaceButler]

See.. normally I wouldnt even read to teh bottom of a thread like this..

 

There are too many facotrs to bother putting with "real" numbers. It's like asking how many stars will you see at night.. you just don't know till nightfall.

[Ewok Hunter]

well you could create a complex computer simulation taking into account the Earths position relative to the sun and the sun's position relative to the stars and which calculates the posible sates of cloud cover depending on the presipitation and temp among other factors... but that would take months and only be able to show the probablility of any paticular configuration of the night sky where was I again, oh yeah tere will be as many jedi as ther will be, no more no less

[SpaceButler]

Is that simulation run on a PC, Mac, or Linux machine? Because I read in an article that Windows based PC's tend to skip stars that don't meet a certain set of galavtic entitity protocal requirements, Mac tend to count aonly certain stars (but with great accuracy), while linux can count all the stars twice as fast as windows with the accuracy of a mac.

[Ewok Hunter]

just for the sake of argument, but yeah Linux often can do things like that better than Windows or Macs

[RobBisec]

I dont think theyll just allow a certain number of jedi.

[Ewok Hunter]

your reasoning is...? they couldn't just let everyone be a jedi otherwise there would be few 'support' clases like weapon disigners because people will wan't to be one of the jedi who steal all the limelight in the movies...

[RobBisec]

then what about those teenage store clerks who get the game early? It spells trouble because most people want to be or

[Ewok Hunter]

unless they get the game weeks ahead it won't matter much because being a bounty hunter is an elite calss which takes time to attain and the amount of time you spend in the game is immiterial to becoming force sensitive

[RoyalGuard]

The impression I got from the Dev's explanation of their system was that a certain percentage of all characters will develop a sensitivity to the force. This will be the limiting factor, as far as I know they weren't planning a 'Jedi number cap'.

 

Of course there may be a culling if the number of Jedi gets too high (of course peoples definitions of too high vary). I look forwards to it.

 

hmm, thinking about it, sod's law dictates that I, the one person who fervently hopes that he isn't force sensitive, becomes it...

 

that would make things very complicated...

[setsuko]

Let's just say that having 40% of the players being jedi would sort of ruin it it my eyes, since it wouldn't be a reflection of the star wars universe. If I will stumble across twenty jedi on my way to the grocery store, I might, so to say, find less satisfaction in playing the game.

[Ewok Hunter]

not necissarily, i mean there are probably at least a few jedi which you'd run into if they wern't hidding and avoiding confrontation

[RobBisec]

well in an article in this site I read that all players have the chance to become a jedi.

[SpaceButler]

Key word: "Chance" with no time frame attached. That means that every player between now & infinity could at some point X become a jedi. It's a complex equation to reach X, with many variables, but they are a secret. All you have to do is stumble across it. So there are only a near inifinite array of numbers & equations standing between you and being a jedi. yay.

[Ewok Hunter]

thank you spacebuttler, yes you have a chance to become a jedi, but the only randomness is becoming force sensitive, after accplishing that it is simply a matter of traing to be a 'jedi'

[RobBisec]

(grumbles to himself)

[Ewok Hunter]

and that is just to re iterate the top few arguments that are against having jedi be the the most common class. if you look there are more reasons.

[RobBisec]

Yeah everyone wants to be a jedi. As for me Im planning on being a politician. (rubs hands together and smiles wickedly)

[Lord Helmet]

Hey all I'm still here!, and anyway why have this conversation it makes no sense...

 

Facts: NO ONE knows the actually percentage of #'s of who become jedi.

 

The number will be an organic system and flucuate, the devs had said that if numbers get too high they WILL limit the # of people who can become jedi and if they are too high they will raise the bar.

 

The movies they are reffering to are between epsidoes 3 and 4.

 

Lie:Anyone who said devs said that numbers would be at any percent are totallly wrong

 

Everyone has a chance to become a jedi, NO you have a chance to beomce force sensitive..Then as the devs said it works like any other profession working up it to reach the top.

 

If you are a role player- or dont give a **** you have a more likely chance to become force sensitive. NO it is TOTAllY random.

 

 

Opinon: I think the jedi profession should be chosen at birth with medichloreans. But some would say people would start there characters over untll they get well...If they made it so once you madde char you had to keep if for say 2 weeks....before deleting then it would get rid of most of the problem and you wouldn't even know you had untill you progressed toa certain part of the game and you get some sort of special blood test or something .

 

And i wouldn't care if 40% of the game people were jedis.Think about how many people are playing.People true to the game would just keep that safety switch on to protect themselves and most would be hunted by imperial forces so it would limit the jedis anyway.

[Gaalgoth]

Welcome back man! Long time no see. Nothing much has changed, we got a few more people in the associates, that's about it. one thing though, it's between 4 and 5, not 3 and 4. andyways, hope you'll stick around more often...
