Do you want the alpha Jedi class to be in SWG? I do not want to see the Jedi class in SWG and certainly do not want to see any resources directed to it until all the core classes and JTL are completed. As long as there is a Non-Jedi server available, I will be happy.

HELL no.

They should never have been an alpha class. Look back to the movies, most Jedi were quite mortal. Sure, they had a few tricks, and the best could do amazing things... but NO player set in SWG should be an Obi-Wan or Windu-class Jedi.

More like Kit Fisto, or all the others named just to sell an action figure. They were killed at Genosis, they were killed at the end of the Clone War en masse.

I can tolerate Jedi to a point in SWG, but as an alpha class it's lunacy.

The move to put in the alpha Jedi class was the start of SWG's path to ruination. Resources that should have been directed to the core classes, bug/exploit fixes, content and improvements were directed into this feature. I will go as far as to say that more players left due to what the hologrind did to the community than players who would have left if there was a firm decision not to have the Jedi class to begin with.

No. And hi I am ISWMSWG, I was one of the folks that used to tell people that Alpha Jedi was ruining the game to stfu. And guess what? Those folks had been right...

The fault with Alpha Jedi was it became the over all goal for the game. It gave players a "I win!" class for the most part. And like Kaz said it became a huge drain on resources that could have been used on other things in the game. I'll also point out that PvP balance of any kind just went out the door with Jedi in.

Sure in the short term Alpha Jedi was a fun idea, in the long term it was a nightmare and tell the truth? I think that even if the NGE didn't happen Alpha Jedi was on it's way out the door.

Before the nge, and especially before the CU, Jedi weren't an alpha class.

A properly built and equipped swordsman could defeat them. A properly built fencer or TKM could frustrate them to a standstill. A proper BH could slay them, especially with a pet/droid , a badass LLC or proper tactics.

They became an iwin button in the nge.

Oh I disagree Shayde, they could wear comp armor and heal any dmg you did. And God help you if you were ranged, good luck. Healing all states including mind fire and diseases/poisons? OP sir, OP.

As a Master Bounty Hunter from those days, I will tell you that a Light Lightning Cannon was absolutely worthless outside of PvE. It's specials could only be fired at melee range, it had it's own set of accuracy/speed modifiers so you could never get accurate enough to hit a regular full-template toon, let alone a Jedi with it.

If you were an MBH, as I was, your options were to a) Surprise them as they are unbuffed and you send in a bomb droid or b) bring back-up. We used to hunt Jedi in groups of 5 pre-CU.

To me, playable Jedi did not belong in SWG. The timeline forbade it, and common sense said that an alpha class would not work in an MMO that had PvP. Koster's series of posts on how Jedi, and the quest to become one ruined the design of the game just cemented my opinion.

I'll probably be playing on SWGCanon if no other groups offer non-Jedi servers.

It looks like SGEmu plans on the jedi class. :(

Jedi Village Guide

Was there even a poll on having jedi in the game or a non-Jedi server?

From what I understand, once it gets released there are a few groups who are going to run servers. Some with different rulesets.
