Jedi Update Proposal

[DarthCannabis]

• At low level showing your lightsaber in populated areas will get you reported to the authorities and placed on the Bounty Hunter terminal.

Sold, it might even entice me to log in and play again.

I've played on server that tried this and it went badly, so my vote is no.

I like the idea of unlocking an elder Jedi with FRS and a theme park, however I don't particularly like the first section of completing random tasks to get to the next stage. I understand the implied aspect of mastering many facets of the game to be a true "elder". Love the overall idea especially being open game if wearing robes/lightsabers in public. I would give it a go as it's currently proposed but will try to think of a suitable alternative for the first section.

I like this, but I think the Elder would need to stand out from the base Jedi profession. As it did in the old system, iirc, it was high risk high reward to become Jedi so I feel like if a max Jedi Elder wasn't much different (better?) than a normal Jedi then it wouldn't feel as worthy.

I personally don't mind being hunted and feel that it would match the era that we play in, but 99% of the time you'll be outmatched by a lvl90 BH while leveling so that would be a challenge to balance. Perhaps some "basic elder robes" and "elder type lightsaber" would be the key to this balance, where they are statted differently than other gear.

I really hope this passes, going for server first.

If you'll be first then ill be trying for second (or sixth, im a casul). This got me rolling a Jedi today to get prepared.

Requirements for Space/BM/Crafting/Slayers hell no. only way this work is an account wide feature otherwise it's just stupid.

• At maximum level the Jedi Elder will become well known throughout the galaxy, placing them permanently on the Bounty Hunter terminal.

This one? while i agree it'd be great...it'd force people to PVP and lets be real not everyone here wants to PVP. I feel for the players who dont wanna pvp. why force this on them just dumb. people will just ultimately grief. this is also a shit system Aconite from SWGR and evolve added and isn't working out to well or was scrapped this was great in PRE-CU because combat was slow paced and all about Knockdowns. this is NGE combat is way to fast paced.

• At low level showing your lightsaber in populated areas will get you reported to the authorities and placed on the Bounty Hunter terminal.

Yeah not really a great idea people can say timeline bullshit all they want but if you've done your research there were still hundreds of jedi left in hiding granted hiding but the timeline is a joke now. if your gonna go for cannon then it needs be 9th slot unlock and BH should follow same suit then since Bounty hunters had a high death ratio in cannon most would die before 4th mark...

Better off just making a new class thats unlocked from jedi then adding robes as a drop in a new instance tied to themepark. then adding in a new PVP Tef system thats toggled by the new jedi and they are perma on the board and if they kill a BH they get a new token that can be used for new rewards and if BH kills the jedi they get a token and or bust of dooku with the players name on it and time/date of death.

and if the jedi hits the toggle they cant untoggle it for atleast 24 hours real time meaning toggling it is a choice and a hefty one.

Been awhile since I've been on, and I played Galaxies all the way back in beta, but from what I see, this is definitely a rollback to the old way of jedi. Not opposed in principal, I wasn't a fan of jedi back then and when they added jedi as a starter class it just got worse. Jedi have always been devisive since their inception, pvp jedis were and still are some of the most broken and frustrating characters to engage let alone kill. From what I understand, the max rank elder jedi would be always on the bounty boards which on the one hand would be an asset for pvp oriented BH's as those boards can be pretty empty at times. On the flip side I can see that playing as a jedi and being permanently "overt" for BHs could lead to griefing and would be a huge turn off. Perhaps a middle ground would be a cool down for being posted to the boards. For example, it's been stated that lower level "elder jedi" can be put on the board for essentially "being discovered" what about keeping that mechanic for the top rank. You aren't on the board until "discovered" and remain on the board until bounty claimed, and then you won't be put back on the board until " discovered" again.

permanently on the board seems excessive i doubt anyone wants to have a BH on their ass that regularly but implementing the old school visibility system would not be too awful. people are going to want to show off their elder jedi / do group content enough to board themselves and still allow them to run solo content without being bothered for the most part. or at bare minimum a considerable cooldown between BH hunts if it is permanent. Maybe once a day they can get hunted unless triggering visibility.

 

[snapperhead]

I’d like to see a Force Vendor that allows players to trade in a set number of holocrons for one of their choice. This could help reduce inflation while giving players more control over their progression.

I also like aspects of both Resto and Evolve. Jedi should remain a master-class, difficult to unlock, and come with real risks. The idea of a two-day ghost timer is great—it keeps bounty hunters engaged and adds weight to the Jedi experience. I also like Evolve’s Force ranking system being separate from factions, making Jedi operate in secrecy. Having to hide from Dark/Light users and BHs, while being both rare and powerful, would make the Jedi path feel more meaningful and immersive

End-Game Progression: Level 90 "Jedi Trials" Theme Park
Game Aspect: QoL / Content Progression

Reason: Replaces passive collection mechanics, heroics grinding, and Nightsister mob farming with a structured, narrative-driven dual-faction theme park ("Ten Things a Jedi Must Do").

Expected Outcome: Clear, engaging max-level progression for Jedi players with guaranteed milestones, reducing meaningless RNG grinding while guiding players through both Light and Dark side lore.

Quest Sequence Overview
Light Side Enclave (Matareno): Matareno and 10 new NPCs issue 10 core trials. Completing them grants Jedi Relics, 1 Random Jedi Holocron per trial (enabling a full set of 10), a Waist Pack, and a Jedi Medallion.

Lightsaber Master (Antaria Wellos): Relocated to the Spawn Terminal (Nym's Theme Park style). Grants the Lightsaber Schematic for Jintsu razor and unlocks the Dark Side branch.

Dark Side Enclave ("Learning Dark Ways"): 10 new Dark Side NPCs issue trials awarding Sith Holocrons.

Final Mastery: Defeat the Jedi and Sith Masters to unlock light pole arm and two handed earn the Jedi Theme Park Badge and Jedi Cloak, unlocking progression toward the Old Ways of the Force.

Crafting Quality of Life: Universal "Exotics Menu" UI
Game Aspect: QoL / Crafting Economy

Reason: Eliminates the tedious farming loop for low-drop junk loot and Nightsister base clothing by providing Tailors, Armorsmiths, Weaponsmiths, and Jedi Crafters with an Entertainer-style point-allocation window to assign Exotics during assembly.

Expected Outcome: Crafters can instantly fulfill custom +35 SEA, clothing, armor, weapon, and lightsaber orders through an intuitive UI without compromising game balance or touching the existing Powerup (PUP) system.

System Mechanics
Interactive UI: Opens during item assembly, offering a 20-point pool to distribute across server-approved Exotics (hard-capped per stat).

Profession Specifics:

Tailors (Domestic Traders): Apply Exotic Skill Enhancing Attachments (CAs/Clothing Exotics).

Armorsmiths (Munitions Traders): Apply Exotic Armor Attachments (AAs/Armor Exotics).

Weaponsmiths (Engineering Traders): Apply Exotic Weapon Attachments (WAs) doing it the old way.

Jedi: Apply Exotic Lightsaber Mods if given the option.

PUPs Unchanged: Temporary Powerups remain completely separate, preserving existing item optimization choices.
