The Old Republic

" @Diamond: Maybe I'm missreading what you said, but Jedi's were part of the OGSWG, but you couldn't pick one as a class.  Anyone who put forth the time and effort could be a jedi.  But it was no easy task.

Also, I could be wrong, I'm going off of what a friend had told me.  He was about to hit Jedi before the dreaded patch that destroyed the game.  I also know for fact that there were a few other Jedi wandering around at that same time, one hooked me up with some stuff one day out of the blue.  And by few I mean, 2 or 3 others.

Yah in SWG becoming a jedi was the grind to end all grinds.  Then they made the game a WoW clone.

"I hope not, keep in mind that in KOTOR, you do not start out as a force sensitive charecter.  So hopefully they will take the lesson from those games and keep the trend going.  The only way to make the jedi/sith a usable starting class would be to make them much weaker than they should be, otherwise a fight between a smuggler and a jedi would be stupid."

" I'd LIKE them to go how SWG was SUPPOSED to be.  When SWG started they DID NOT have Jedi implemented at all.  If it had worked out, that would have been awesome though.  Make Jedi the true elite, let Bounty Hunters track them down and perma death them.  Make Jedis have to abide by all sorts of crazy rules.However, this will be KOTOR, and a modern MMO, so basically everyone's going to be one of these badass clasesses from the start, except they'll be wailing away with their lightsabers on womp rats or some shit.

Perma death for an MMO character is just a retarded, retarded, RETARDED idea.  Never. "

I think that's the way jedi should be.  If everyone can be jedi, then no one is jedi.  The Jedi players would be looked up to or hated.  They'd be extremely powerful and rare.But really I guess everyone wants to be jedi, and concepts such as permadeath is too hardcore for modern gamers. "

" Is anyone else flipping out about this game?  Ive been waiting for 8 years since KOTOR 2 and im starting to loose it, the only star wars game since then (of note) has been The Force Unleashed...which sucked.  Anyone have any comments on what they wanna see, like weather jedi/sith should be a choose-able class or weather they should go the Star wars Galexies aproach (pre-patch.)  Also, what do you guys think about the whole multiple endings in instances thing? "

Yeah.  Everyone wants to be a Jedi.  It's true.  That's why everyone CAN be a Jedi if they want.  It's a selling point.  The game was purposely set in a time period where it makes sense for a few thousand Jedi to be running around.And perma-death is too hardcore?  More like too masochistic.  I have something like 200 days played on WoW (granted I don't play anymore) and if my character died and was fucking ERASED after I paid to play for that much time...well, words can't even describe how furious I'd be.  MMO's aren't just games.  They're a ridiculous time investment that should be rewarding, not punishing.  Perma death is stupid.  And that's about as factual as an opinionated statement can get.

Really sit there and think, would you want to play any game where you spend dozens of hours building up a character only to loss him to a glich or other factor.  I would like to see your comments after you lost a character. "
