Did they put in some nice jedi quests in yet - with some roleplay value? Like a storyline guiding you from level 1 padawan to lvl 90 Jedi master? I remember that there were *some* attempts to that... That would be something worthwhile to check out, for me anyway.

 

Those changes seem to go in the right direction, for what it's worth. Although I personally dont like how you can mix and match light and dark powers, its not really true to the lore, is it?

While I want a quest series to take me from lvl 1-90 as a Jedi too, it would make no sense to create a Jedi only 1-90 quest line when there are 8 other professions who don't have their own questline. However, I do believe Jedi needs their own content, since every other profession has their own.

 

In forth coming Update or Chapter, Jedi will get its on special Collection Quest for a new robe.  It stats will reflect the changes coming to Jedi in its expertise tweek.  Coming with this collection quest will be the following:

-New Dark(will be Black not Dark Brown) and Light Robe with stats comparable to the current Elder Robe (note Elder Robe is getting boosted to)

-New 5th generation Sabers

-Flawless Pearls are returning

Couple these with the new Waist Pack, Acid Crytsal and Instance Jewerly Sets you will have a very powerful character.

Collection's doesn't equal content. That's just getting new items. Every profession has canonical content for their profession...content that makes sense for that profession to have.  A bounty system equals content, which the BH's have. The Smuggling system is profession content, which the Smugglers have. The ability to not only craft, but open up a shop or even a mall is profession base content for traders. Entertainers can run a cantina, which is profession based content. The combat professions other than Jedi have the GCW, which from a lore stand point is profession based content for them. We have no content that pertains to Jedi and to create content only for Jedi would be fair, since every other profession has content specific to their profession. It can be argued that the GCW is content for Jedi and yes, by game mechanics it is. However, when do Jedi fight in wars? It is lore breaking to have Jedi gain rank for fighting in a war. Jedi by canon are General's in a time of war. The player base would not like this, so why not have a Jedi v. Dark Jedi war going on?

In pursuing this line, I have always felt that Traders and Entertainer should have thier own Legacy Quest that was tailored to thier form of non-combat.  This would allow progression without a cantina or craftign grind.  Alas, my ideas dont always get attention.

Jedi have been stated to make up about 40% of total character population across all servers.  It is the number one chosen profession and warrents its given attention by the develpers and producers.  More than likely Lucas Arts will devise a system to meet the need you request.  In brief, the game needs more systems that makes it more attached to Star Wars than simple game balance.

Keep in mind that every piece of story or function of a given profession is recorded and checked by Lucas Arts for consistancy to Star Wars Canon.  No matter your view of SWG breaking canon its still policed my Lucas Arts in this way.  This is why there is such a huge delay in material being approved.  This known delay is why there is more group quests than individual quests.
