Lord_Vessen Posted January 31, 2003 Share Posted January 31, 2003 Sorry Wraith if I was a little harsh on the all Jedi PA idea, it doesn't hurt to dream I guess. Well I'm done with the thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swediot=) Posted January 31, 2003 Share Posted January 31, 2003 well with the new jedi system i think its very possible to make a jedi pa now except it would have to be started way after the release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Gaarni Posted January 31, 2003 Share Posted January 31, 2003 This is no bashing, but a piece of advice: As I predicted, becomming Force sensitive will be totally random. Anyone will have the chance to become force-sensitive, but there are no guarantees you will. It will be just like a big lottery. As long as you play, you still have a chance though. When you become Force sensitive, a new character slot will be opened to you in addition to the other 10, totalling 11 characters. Your main or any other character you have made before will never become Force sensetive. You can use this character slot to create your Force sensitive character, which by the way, can only be played on the same server as the character that unlocked it. Here's where the advice comes in: Keep your Jedi a closely guarded secret, as you will die permanently if you are killed too many times (prolly around 3-5 times). You will never lose the Jedi slot, but the character will be deleted. In addition, training as a Jedi is very, very hard, and few will reach Jedi Master status. The cool part of dieing too many times as a Jedi Master, is that you will become one with the Force, just like Obi-Wan did, and not lose the character. You will become a ghost among the living.

MadMardigan Posted January 31, 2003 Share Posted January 31, 2003 OMG that is so GD sweet. I love how they are doing that. You don't lose you characters identitiy and are "encouraged" to keep force sensitivity a secret. But if you are a big mouth you don't lose you new character totally. I never had much interest in being a Jedi until I saw that! Good luck to all of you on receiving Force Sensitivity..... hmmm that sounds way too much like: May The Force Be With You MadMardigan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Gaarni Posted January 31, 2003 Share Posted January 31, 2003 Oh, once you die 2-3 times you'll lose your new character alright. *poof* it's gone. You'll have to start your Jedi Chraracter all over again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackDove Posted February 1, 2003 Share Posted February 1, 2003 The reason why grand super-duper ideas like these have to be annihilated, cut, smashed, stepped on, kicked and thrown into the mud is because from those 200 000 - 100 000 people who are gonna buy the game (considering the low numbers, dear god if the 400 000 people already registered buy it, what a mayhem), when they do, half of them or at least a quarter (which IS ALOT) will complain in the style of: "Oh why am I not a Jedi, DAMN YOU DEVS; YOU RUINED THE GAME WITH DIS JEEDI PETCH, AJ BOGHT TEH GEJM TO BE OEN SUPAR DUPAR JEEDI ADN j00 RUIND IT FOR MEH!!!!!!!

Lord Helmet Posted February 2, 2003 Share Posted February 2, 2003 hey um guys...i agree totally with wraith if they wanna build a jedi PA let them...they probably know the risks already...becuase they probably read everything jedi already... and um if people complain they aren't jedis and they do good for THEM! more space for us :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corpocus Posted February 2, 2003 Share Posted February 2, 2003 I know realy. Give it a break already. Let people say they wanna make Jedi PAs without some one bashing them. Grow up..and you people know who you are!.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shailoh Posted February 2, 2003 Share Posted February 2, 2003 Jedi PA? Not only is this likely but this is PROBABLY how most new Jedi would be made. Although being part of this Jedi only PA would surely bring you MUCH unwanted attention, from bounty hunters and other PA's. But consider this, the actual things we know about Jedi's so far SUPPORT this system. Lets say for instance in order to join this PA you had to have a force sensitive char. This whole organization would have to keep its membership a secret, perhaps allowing the Main character on the account to carry the PA name while the jedi character would seek to hide their connection to the PA. To become a Jedi you will need a Master to train you. A Jedi PA would be a easy place to find one. Always there are two. Second, avoiding permanent death is going to be a Monumental task, and is going to require help at very least. Having a few senior Jedi or there higher skilled healing / protecting alt's stand around helping you would only increase your chances. All recruitment would have to be done via message boards to protect the identities of those involoved. I dont think the number of Jedi will be few, I think after people have figured out a reasonable way to become a Jedi, and have dumped that information on player sites, it will only be a matter of time until it becomes a cut and dry process like achieving any other goal on any other game. Having a Jedi PA will probably be the norm for Jedi. You have to imagine, where else are you going to have others that know what you need to do to be successful, who you can talk openly to about things... Asking out of character "What parts are needed to make a double edged lightsaber? is only going to have every bounty hunter in ear shot loading his blaster and heading your way. ***People are looking at what has been said "Oooh I doubt very many will make it past padiwan" Every MMORPG says that, but then you end up with 1098239012 people hardcore over lvl 90, you end up with 2093480234 people on Everquest lvl 60+ with epic in under 60 days. It's just a matter of finding a easy way to beat the system, or sheer dedication. Worried the Empire will always be after you? I have read NOTHING that said your force sensitive character cannot be aligned with the Empire. This may force you to be a Dark Jedi, but it sure gets rid of alot of head ache. Permadeath? NP, its not impossible, just difficult. Getting flagged force sensitive, who knows how long this could take, or what kind of complicated process has to be completed to get flagged, but people will get flagged, and sooner or later someone will figure out what things caused themselves to get flagged and they will let others know*** Buddy if you are looking for people to join up with you who have the goal in mind to become Jedi, Sign me up. I personally dont LIKE the system as is, because I feel that it's actually going to force people to be parts of organizations like this to become jedi. (We can only wait and see, but everything i've read supports this). After many posts Im getting the feeling everyone else likes the system as is sooooo if you can't beat em... Join em.

Wraith 8 Posted February 2, 2003 Share Posted February 2, 2003 have you read the post of the dev? its gonna be different for EACH player... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shailoh Posted February 2, 2003 Share Posted February 2, 2003 I also read when the same Dev's said that the Everquest Epic quests would be different for everyone. Which in reality was different for every class when implemented. Lets be realistic here. How many players do you think will be playing? Your best estimate? How much time do you think the Dev's are going to have to individually program in a individual set of things to be done to come flagged? Thats alot of programming.... Instead... if there is a randomizer... say at character creation that determines by race / class that certain things have to be accomplished or certain flags gained to have your account flagged Force Sensitive. Now this would allow for everyone to have to do something slightly different, But the SHEER numbers of players is going to have more than a few people even if by accident getting flagged. They WILL need to communicate with each other for the sake of just exchanging game infomation, and it's only a matter of time until they find things in common that if done could get you flagged, or even worst realize a exact set of goals that need to be accomplished by each class/race/profession or what not that needs to be accomplished. But mark my words. I give it 1 year before that is common knowledge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaalgoth Posted February 2, 2003 Share Posted February 2, 2003 You've got a point, and I don't doubt that most people will get a shot at being FS if they stick with it long enough and experiment. At the same time, what with permadeath I don't doubt that they will all be weeded out. Also, being that it is SCS, you'll only get one shot at being FS unless you delete your character and recreate it. I don't think there will be a problem.

Jan Gaarni Posted February 2, 2003 Share Posted February 2, 2003 I don't think Jedi will be any problem. We know next to nothing about Jedi in-game yet, so I really don't see how anyone can make such a strong arguement about it. Good posts though. Considering what the Devs have said about Jedi and Force sensitivity before and the hugh amount of people missunderstanding it, I don't see any reason why this new info wouldn't have the same effect.

Thrackan Solo Posted February 2, 2003 Share Posted February 2, 2003 Hah no offense but that idea is not that great. as soon as you hang up a sign saying Jedi Guild it will be like a feast for the bounty hunters. You will probably hire a armorer to make shirts that say shoot me im a jedi. P.S look out for me,if you make one i will come with my bounty hunter army:fett: :fett: :fett: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thew Rydur Posted February 3, 2003 Share Posted February 3, 2003 Just a thought on the bounty hunter/ jedi deal. Won't a BH have to get the mission to be able to hunt the Jedi for credits? Or will Jedi just be fair game to all Bh's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corpocus Posted February 3, 2003 Share Posted February 3, 2003 Ok this was started by Danlow and if you read the posts he said as I did and I think others, that no idiot is gonna be posting Jedi Guild over his head or anything like that!! I mean come on!..Give people some credit. Anyone that plans to make a Jedi PA I would have to assume has read the posts and know its gonna be a secret. You think just cause they are posting here on the boards that they are looking for Jedi wannabe recruits that they are gonna be doing it in game in public?..Give people some credit! Like Danlow said before, he will not be using same PA name in the game that he is using here on the boards..I doubt it very much anyone will. So all those posts about people making them selves public that they are Jedi PAs is a waist of time. Sorry, Just gets me angy to see people bash other peoples hopes for this game. These Jedi PAs very well know how hard its gonna be! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not going to be impossible or even that hard to keep your identity a secret as long as you aren't running your mouth. Im pretty sure the game will support the identity supression. But then again I wont be hiding from any bounty hunters on my Jedi. Jedi will NOT be easy to kill... weak little targets out there for bounty hunters to run up and collect a easy pay check. You run up on me and you'll be needing some new cybornetic limbs. I got the force, What do you got? A blaster and a warrent? LMFAO, Didn't you watch any of the movies? Bounty hunters 0 Jedi 2. Well 3... if you count the stupid bounty killed by Han Solo in the Bar. Bounty Hunters in the movie dont have long life spans. Always losing a limb to a Jedi, or running from a Jedi for their lives. I dont see why these bounty hunters think because they would be ALLOWED to hunt Jedi, that they would EVER be successful in doing so. The Devs said it would be VERY hard to become a Jedi. They also said they would be VERY hard to kill one. If you are looking for a good trade skill, sell cybernetic arms, and legs, I have a feeling for the first year or so your gonna have a lot of bounty hunters in the market.
