Proposal
This is an aura that hides your buffs and abilities but comes at a heavy cost.
- Your force healing and force damage is reduced, some cannot be used at all (lightning, choke, ectect).
- Enhancements and all Buffs are halved.
- Must use a Melee Weapon, not a lightsaber. (reduced damage from saber skills).
_
Justification
Allows people to play their Jedi at reduced power without taking a vis hit, also cool and something that happens in the lore.
_
Motivation
Seeing people angry, wanting to not lose any population, the usual.
_
Let me know what you think.

Just don't play in groups with other jedi around and vis is a nonissue outside pvp/invasions(unless all your friends are reporting you, then you need new friends). The solution to a new 'more difficult' system is not to create a way to subvert it immediately.

Well, weakening yourself considerably by lore is exactly how they did subvert it.

Also Vis doubles each other Jedi in the party with you. Didn't you test this?

Yes, just don't group with other jedi, thats 100% a way to get killed in canon.

That is a great idea. Making it so groups of players can't play the game the way they want to. That has never backfired.

At least if they had more options to gain *less* vis of their choice they could use them.

Solution: Just don't play the game.
Solution: Go to another server.
Solution: Quit.

I am only stating this because these characters had a lot of things changed under their feet after an agreement was signed. I get that it should be hard, and i'm not even asking to turn vis off. I actually *LIKE* Vis in instances.

I just know that going from 0 to 1000 after a single instance is a bit too much, especially when there isn't a lore way or reason for them to contact the Inquisitors.

Too many things were changed at once. Something needs done.

What agreement was signed where? And thats called balancing, changing things 'under peoples feet'.

-You can play the way you want but there will be consequences
-You can reduce vis by meditating at your shrine or go to the ranch
What you want is for Jedi to continue rolling instances with almost no consequence , face little to no risk from Bh's
Stop with the dumb knee jerk reaction PV's that as always are just throwing spaghetti at the wall

That isn't very good feedback.
Player retention is a huge problem at the moment.

One player in the chat said he is possibly leaving because of this and you impulsively react with this suggestion. What will cause even more problems is bouncing from change to change willy nilly trying to please everyone which ends up pleasing no one.

There are a lot of changes coming still and people need to learn to be patient and see how they shake out amd change over time. Yes it is too bad that Alpha Class Jedi get vis in Instances now. But since you like canon so much here is the #1 canon piece for this time period in the game - Jedi/FS are in hiding in fear for their lives not out swinging glowbats and using force powers with no consequences. One thing retaining some players here is the fact that this server is that way and Jedi are meant to stay in hiding.

Already sort of did this by not using a saber and took up melee professions Hybrid coupled with Jedi healing and Defenses. reduces visibility down considerably. the NPC's can see the saber at much longer ranges then they see you healing or using aura.
 
I still don't see why you can't use lightsaber techniques with a melee weapon.

They still have unique animations that fencer/tk/them used to have too.
