Jedi Update Proposal

[CSRDaryn]

Beyond - Jedi Update Proposal

Please Note: Current Jedi base profession will NOT change; no player progression will be lost. The only possible exception may be title changes to Force Sensitive, Jedi Initiate or something along those lines.

Phase 1: Implementing an unlock system for Jedi Elder.

• Generate a list of game activities, including all aspects of the game (e.g.: PvE, PvP, Space, BM, crafting, etc.)
• The system will automatically assign characters a list of requirements, randomly selected from the activities list.
• Each character’s requirements will be different. Characters will be retroactively awarded credit for previously completed activities on their list.
• A newly added NPC will give players a percentage value showing how close the player is to unlocking Jedi Elder.
• New holocrons, looted from various sources throughout the galaxy, will help "guide" players.
• Characters completing the unlock will be locked to Jedi Elder.

Phase 2: Jedi Elder

• Player skill level will be reset to one.
• Experience must be earned and cannot be gained while AFK.
• Phase two will include an all-new Jedi Themepark, including unique new quests to gain experience and new exclusive items. Note: Elder Robes will be implemented as either a looted item or gained via a quest.
• At low level showing your lightsaber in populated areas will get you reported to the authorities and placed on the Bounty Hunter terminal.
• A new skill system for Jedi Elder, the higher the level the more points will be available to spend on skills.
• Players will be able to distribute skill points as they choose. Allowing players to create unique builds suited to their playstyle (e.g.: healer, defender, damage, hybrid, etc.)
• Jedi Force Bar will be required in order to use abilities.
• At maximum level the Jedi Elder will become well known throughout the galaxy, placing them permanently on the Bounty Hunter terminal.

Phase 3: TBD


Please feel free to post your comments.

bringing back something like the old system in a NGE envierment is what iv been wanting for the longest time. so im all for this and i think it will be very fun for most!

 

[geloazul]

I prefer quit pvp thing, i dont like pvp

 

[sashalanda]

yeah I dont like pvp at all. My jedi is purely pve. If this is implemented I might as well delete her and create a diff character

 

[wreckingball]

Not keen on the randomly assigned quests including space, BM and crafting. We should be able to choose that first part, as forcing content players don't normally do would be a turn off.

 

[oricki]

Honestly I love doing all content, however, I feel PvP, Crafting, & if you mean pet crafting by BM, is just a recipe for wasted dev time.

PvP - Outside of small scale, Jedi isn't worth bringing all this will accomplish will either incentivize people to swap off, or completely block off progression for those who play vital roles eg Offy, Medic, or Dire BH in bigger fights.

Crafting (+Pet Crafting) -
1. The worst part of the original Jedi system was forcing class changes, and this would mean extended periods of time where you cannot play your Jedi in combat.
2. Due to non-crafters not having any stockpiles, & depending on what materials, quantities, and qualities are required, the already small resource selling market on this server could dry up very quickly, taking away any jump start for new crafters.
This could be offset if all you need is a / some crafted tradable items, therefor helping the economy and incentivizing traders, however the post isn't worded like this.

forced PvP...yeah...not so much

 

[exiloskun]

I love all this, my two feedback items are do not make elder robes a loot item, make it a collection like the cloak of hate was but more intense. my other opinion is to add dark side titles to go along with the posted Force Sensitive, Jedi Initiate.

The cookie cutter jedi isn't being removed. You can keep playing that as you already do. Elder Jedi will be its own profession. You don't have to unlock it if it's not for you.

 

[DarthCannabis]

you had me right up until the bounty part... nope, whole lotta nope lol

also, if an "Elder Jedi" is obviously more OP than a "vanilla jedi" then by NOT going "Elder" would effectively be nerfing yourself... again, whole lotta nope

 

[Muhtar]

forced PvP...yeah...not so much

It would be PvP related quests/content not PvP kills as this can be exploited.

 

[Yekzunno]

Please be sure to read it thoroughly. The only “forced” pvp is bounty board and it’s not forced until you are max level for Jedi elder. This means you are going to be near one of the strongest Jedi on the server. And it’s only IF someone grabs your bounty and comes after you. pvp quests and content might not even specify needing kills but just doing activities in a pvp zone. Ie: restuss comm farming is PvE in a pvp zone

 

[BuryMeInKief]

I really hope this passes, going for server first.

 

[Arkani]

Yes! Was just asking about the elder robes the other day. This will be awesome. I miss jedi unlock. Praying it goes through

 

[Must]

Yeah that'd be sick let's go

 

[MysteriousDD]

unless you can max out as a Jedi without PvP then it's forced...because if you want main a Jedi and want to still get invited to groups we'll have to do this...lol

you aren't reading the very beginning where the base jedi profession isn't getting removed... theres just going to be an option now to go further.. LSJ is still gonna be LSJ and DSJ is still gonna be DSJ. theres just going to be new content for players who want to take the risk of what you want to call Forced PvP and do more with their jedi. no one will HAVE to do anything more with their current Jedi's will they be weaker than the new jedi probably. and it should. but will they still be viable in PvE. absolutely. this update seems to be more for players who want to give something new a try and potentially bring Jedi into PvP once more. because as of now. DSJ is the only viable way to play jedi in pvp. but spy does the same thing and at a better range. so theres no point in playing Jedi in pvp. plus it will open new PvE content up for players that choose to do so. Again, the only "forced" pvp will be when you get max ranked. which will be when you are one of the strongest jedi on the server at that point. the one bounty hunter that will come after you will probably just feel like a lvl 90 boss.. if that. so it will still just be PvE

don't assume I didn't read it...it seems as if you missed the part about getting on the Bounty Hunter Terminals as a low level

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

That would be forced PvP if you want to participate in the new Jedi content...so...before you tell someone they didn't read something make sure you have fully read it yourself...lol

showing your lightsaber… so un equip your lightsaber when you don’t want to participate in PvP again. It’s not forced. Until you are max level. So it still looks like you’re not reading.

so...play a Jedi in PvE without equipping your lightsaber...sounds like forced PvP to me...if the consequences for playing your class is players hunting you...you can call it what you like...but if playing the PvE content gets you hunted by players...it is forced...so what's the point of new Jedi content for those who do not want PvP at all but want to play the new Jedi content...you and I both know there are lots of people that play Jedi who do not PvP (on any toon)...so adding PvP into the mix means they can't play the new content on their Jedi (Jedi content) or they will get hunted by players...it's great for those of us who do not mind PvP...but for the rest...it's exclusionary and pointless...no matter how powerful the Jedi becomes...so...you're only reading this as someone it benefits form this who likes PvP and not as someone who sees the whole picture...and...can see that some will not be happy to find themselves hunted by other players for simply doing the Jedi content...call me wrong all you want...I don't really care...it suits your purposes to do so
