In Development: Publish 9

Jedi Revamp Phase I

"Always in motion is the future".  On January 23rd, we announced that the Jedi system would be revamped from the current system to a more quest based way to become a Jedi.  As you may guess, this system will be kept under wraps, but we can dispel some of the rumors and talk about the philosophy.  Off the top, players will continue force development on their existing characters and a new character slot will become available to the player to develop as they choose.  A player will only have two slots ever available but they can develop both slots as they wish.  The system as it currently exists will be completely swept away (with the old republic?).

This first phase of the Jedi revamp focuses on the core of the Jedi system.  Being a Jedi will dramatically change as the possible paths to Jedi mastery will now have many different elements to suit different play styles.  Advancing down the path of Jedi will start with basic force sensitivity which will be open to all players to create a sense of the force.  If players wish to pursue it, they can develop their force sensitivity in minor ways without sacrificing their original character concepts and even enhance their characters to have that certain special something that isn't quite tangible - - a sensitivity to the force as seen in the movies and EU.  Should they wish to continue, players can follow a PvE path of Jedi development from Padawan through learning the various force disciplines to become a full fledged Jedi Knight.  Jedi Knight is yet another beginning to a new path of development.  Once players have become a Jedi Knight and still hear the call, they can enter a whole new level that splits off to light and dark Jedi paths where forced Jedi PvP will gain you force ranking and possibly a seat on underground Light and Dark Jedi Councils.  May the Force Be With You.

If this is true and Jedi are running around like ants I will quit.

Look at it this way...

Your first mission will be easy then you wait for the second mission... six months later you are able to do the second mission... six months after that the third.

I fear a time sink with this...

But then again Raph has almost always dropped the ball so, who knows.

(Looks like my original thought was incorrect...)

Woot! Even more bad news... this posted by Thunderheart.

If you are a Jedi with 2 slots, you will keep them and still be a Jedi in the new system.

If you are not a Jedi, and have mastered X number of professions then some level of advancement through the system will be included based on how many professions you completed.

It looks like they 'track' how many professions you learn before you can 'get' the magical unlocker. I was curious why it all of a sudden (After publish 7 I believe.) turned into having to master 25+ professions from 8-9 profession of before. by saying 'mastered X number of professions' to me this is a give away that they can and have been tracking this.

Then again I'm a paranoid recluse that drinks too much so...
