I love a bunch of people criticizing a system they know little about ... how many in this string are jedi, have fought jedi (non-npc), or even know if a jedi exists on the server? How can you possibly have any strong formulation of how it should be if you don't even know how it actually is?

Jedi can't ever take skills outside the Jedi tree. No commandos, no smugglers, no pistoleers, nothing. Just Jedi combat abilities.

Have you guys even looked at the Jedi tree?? A single bh isn't a treat whatsoever to an jedi. You guys makes the Jedi sound like this weak pathetic looser... come on. It's an Ûber class. A single jedi will kick any bh *** easy by himself. No need for protection. If I should hunt down a jedi I would at least group with 4 other master bh just to have a slight hope of surviving the encounter. If your not an jedi knight yet, well stay hidden. To becoming a bh target you have to do a lot of sable wielding stuff first. But ones you reach jedi knight or higher, you are God and you will protect this petty players who think they are protecting you.

That's the Point! A Jedi is not a normal class. it's a class for hardcore players.

And the only way to keep the jedi population low is to make them to play hard as possible or not to implement jedi as a playable class.

If there is no one who hunts them then the most people on every server will just play jedis after some time.

Anyone willing to kill a Jedi should have the same penalities : / If it fails and die he/she should have permadeath too : /

Hmmm ... It don't look fair to see lots of effort lost in one single battle :/

What are the rules for the combat? Will the Jedi be asked to accept it or the hunter will just jump over him/her without any advice?

What are the losts ? Will the Jedi lose itens, houses, exp of the professions, ... ?

See that in the movie the Jedi have friends and many people reconise him/her as a Jedi :) Will the game just impose to the Jedis the isolation ?

Will the Jedi be a soloer :)) and hunt alone all the time?

hmmm... It dont seams fair for me : /

I don't have the game yet but I will have it soon and I really will try to be a Jedi and enjoy all the play time till there :)

hi all jedi fan!

If the reports of a Jedi INITIATE being killed are true.. tough break. But you bounty hunters really shouldn't hurt yourselves patting each others' backs. An INITIATE has, at this point, at best a couple days to learn the Force.. whereas a bounty hunter has had months.. months of knowing what works and what doesn't.
I pity anyone foolish enough to target a Jedi Knight.. well.. no, I don't pity them.. I pity their orphans.

"... for my ally is the Force, and a powerful allie it is."

I just gotta say... what a bunch of ******** you people are. This is nothing more then an excuse for massive PKing. I can understand the role-play element, but come on...anyone who reaches jedi status is to be targeted and instantly killed w/o reason other then the fact that there character is a jedi.

I hope all the jedi in the game come together, form a resistance, and start kicking some ***.

about the smuggler thing..

couldn't the jedi use a mind trick to hide themselves. like in "StarWars"

imperial soldier" can i see you id card?", jedi" you do not need to see his id card", imperial soldier" um.. i do not need to see your id card, move along citizen".

OK, I apologize in advance for this post being WAY TOO LONG, but I have some strong feelings regarding a few of the issues addressed in this thread. First of all, please stop your force sensitive whining! Hell yes, there should be jedi permadeath! Hell no, no one else should be subjected to such permadeath! Look at the advantages jedis have. Don't even consider the combat advantage, just look at the skill tree. I wasted over 70 skill points mastering marksman and another 29 on brawler, just so that I could get to commando (which uses absolutely NO brawler skills or any marksman weapons). BHs waste 77 on marksman (again, for weapons they will never use as BHs) and another 77 on scout. It appears that jedis go straight to jedi, with no skill points wasted on mandatory pre-reqs. Apparently they don't even have to waste points on novice medic in order to heal. And when you consider the type of power one wields as a Jedi Knight and (eventually) a Jedi Master, the jedi advantage is insane.

And in response to the previous post suggesting that smugglers protect jedis, I think this is a really good idea but why limit it to just one profession? It would make sense for the smuggler to try to mislead and slick-talk the jedi out of trouble, but when push comes to shove and the slick-talk isn't getting the job done, who has the jedi's back? What other profession besides BH is capable of handling a BH one-on-one (not counting the jedi in question, of course)? Here is a hint: the answer starts with a 'C' and ends with a 'ommando.' If BHs are on the offense in the war against jedi, wouldn't it make sense for commandos to serve as the defense? There must be a reason the commando profession is as powerful as it is, what do you suppose that reason could be? And what do you suppose would happen if the hunter got a taste of his own medicine and became the hunted, to the point where he/she spent so much time in the cloning station that they ended up just declaring residence there? Wouldn't that make the world a safer place for jedi, or at least make BHs think twice before jumping on the first jedi mission they find? Sucks being a jedi sometimes, but it sucks even more being the BH who is fighting a jedi and his commando buddies. BHs smell like any other smoldering profession when they are fried up commando style.

FYI there is a group of rebel commandos of Flurry who have made preparations to hide and defend (if necessary) any jedi who is sympathetic to the rebel cause. More info posted here once we actually know for sure there is a PC jedi on Flurry (no indication there is yet).

Permadeath for jedi, absolutely. Anyone foolish enough to squander months of hard work and ALL that potential power on a defeat in battle does not deserve the title of jedi. And any jedi innitiate actually dumb enough to accept a duel challenge from ANYONE should just stick with playing a CH/pistoleer (which seems to be what most of the other half-wits in this game play). I cannot believe this Sunrunner story is true, but if that really happened the jedi involved (aka "******") should seriously consider giving up the game until they understand what being a jedi means. IT MEANS HIDING!!! Dude, you should check out this movie called "Star Wars" sometime. It's pretty cool. In it, this guy named Ben goes out of his way to hide his identity and he doesn't "duel" anyone until the end (at which point he suffers "permadeath." OUCH!) There's another hint...

what is prema death?

I warn all Jedi to be careful. If you are a Sith or a Grey then we will not hunt you but if you are a Jedi you must die. Let the purge begin.
