Jedi Overt

[Icefallen]

I know back in live jedi doing the knight trials were permanently overt, i hear a lot of people say there isn't a lot of PvP on the server, or atleast not as much as they see. So my suggestion is make the jedi Overt the second they learn one box of any force/ls tree, okay i know that this won't work for those that like to play neutral just figured it might up the challenge for Jedi. Just a thought!

Lets make Novice Brawlers permanently overt while were at it. You know, to up pvp on the server.

Temporary Enemy Flag solves everything.

We do need a PvP boost. If making brawler perma-overt helps. I'm all for it. In all seriousness regarding Jedi here's my take...

Jedi should be overt always. Period.

As has been stated a number of times, Jedi is THE alpha class on Awakening. Awakening is not an easy mode server. No red button here. In the timeline we are playing in, force sensitives are still actively sought for eradication by the Empire.

With that in mind, Jedi MUST also choose a side. There is no neutral with Jedi. They are the elite warriors of their faction. We are fully aware of this when we CHOOSE to tackle the mystery of unlocking Jedi. Jedi should be hunted; Not just by Bounty Hunters but by every one of the opposing faction. Jedi is not only a earned privilege, it is also something that should be as difficult as possible to excel in as it is to obtain. Possibly even more so. When a Jedi becomes fully templated he/she should be damn near unstoppable. Again, That kind of power should be near impossible to obtain and even harder to hold on to.

In my opinion, Awakening is great because unlike live the original vision of the devs has not been compromised. No one has caved and said "oh, you're going to quit if we don't nerf eye shot? Ok. Eye shot nerfed. Here's you're cookie and a hug". Here, it will only be adjusted if there is a true need..i.e. it's broke and needs fixin'. That mentality will make this the greatest Jedi active server out there and why we have around 7k accounts.

For Jedi, being good enough to unlock should only be the beginning. Getting better should be what allows you to keep it.

This is sounding more and more like a request for a Pre-9 Jedi system!

TEFs / Permanently Overt. Jedi should be nearly unstoppable at full template. Power should be difficult to not just obtain but also to hold onto... Interesting.

Saber Tef/PermaDeath...Perma Overt? I love it.

[Icefallen]

It's not a request it was just a suggestion, thanks for your input though.

Been Overt for a while now.

Rebel BHs, bring friends.

I am waiting for some challenging good fun!

TEF will be back in at some point. It was voted for, by you, the community in a poll in May. We will go over the details before we start testing. No, I am sorry I don't have an eta on TEF changes. We have a lot of other game breaking bugs we are working on at the moment which take priority. Believe me, I want TEF back, it made the game fun!

Could you look at how its working with public building's such as a cantina?
We had a group hunting a Jedi sitting afk in a public player owned cantina and only the hunters were the players kicked out of the cantina upon attacking, whereas I remember onlive both the target and hunter were kicked out of the structure.

Granted we probably weren't going to beat the fully templated Jedi with a couple ranged BHs but they were afk and it was an surprise attack opportunity worth attempting.

Its going to be a maybe weeks or a month before Rebel Jedi are templated and I know one in particular that is itching to bring balance to the force.
Im sorry you guys are so bored with it currently, maybe there is a reason for that.

Bored? I am no where near bored.

But I see your point, not everyone has 12hr-15hrs a day to grind like I do currently.

Anyways! Looking forward to the up coming battles.

FYI you don't have to be a Jedi to go overt.

[Cynar]

FYI you don't have to be a Jedi to go overt.

..and Jedi were only forced to go overt if they entered the FRS system. As it stands now it's a choice and working as intended for the current status. Is it perfect? No. Will there be changes to visibilty soon? Brother believe it, it's coming. Will there be tweaks to balance the BH/Jedi relationship? Yup.

I wish more people would go overt, but hey it's a choice. We have a lot of people that like to talk the talk, while sitting in a cantina for hours on end talking in general chat. Then again I guess i shouldn't make unfair assessments of what people like to do with their time.

I would offer a word of caution to those who want gtef in BH/Jedi scenarios.

Remember the smart hunters will stack odds in their favor with no thought to acting "with honor". This means if your group can help you, you will see the 1 v 1 engagement disappear in most cases. Hunters will begin camping the cloner, will not engage if you are buffed or grouped, may come 20 deep in a group of their own. You will also see many hunters forced into same faction hunting to avoid fighting 20 v 1. We are paid to win against an alpha class. This means the fights will not be fair.

Be careful what you wish for.

It's all about the Benjamins, for BH's!

I think you make a really good point... I'd rather see epic 1v1 duels between bh and jedi than hopeless gankings.

[BigQEd]

We are considering making all Jedi over say 200 points invested (or Master branches) Overt.

With a possible 30 second delay upon login or cloning.

In this case or Knight Level be possible to have Cloning to nearest Force Shrine?
